　　Describe a traditional event that you attended.

　　You should say:

　　what this event is

　　when it happens

　　who participates in this event and what they do

　　and explain how you feel about this event.

　　The traditional event which impresses me most is the Chinese traditional wedding.

　　The red letter date will be picked by the grooms parents. Both the bride and the grooms house will be decorated in red in advance.

　　The grooms family will send out a precession of servants, entertainers and a carriage which is carried by four servants to the brides family to bring the bride back. The bride and the groom will worship the heaven and the earth, the grooms ancestors and they will also serve tea to all their superiors in the family. After the meal, the new couple will return to the bridal room and some naughty friends may tag-along and play tricks on the groom. Then, the couple will finally be left with themselves and the groom can take off the red cloth that covers the brides face. You know in the ancient times, a man may probably marry a woman that he had never met before, that is to say, the first time to see the wifes face was in their bed, which was really exciting.

　　Thats why I found the traditional wedding so interesting. Now more and more young people choose to have a traditional wedding, which means there is a growing trend towards the traditional culture. Thats quite delightful.
