A Memorable Family Occasion

Composition helps the student to express his views on what is happening in the world around him, besides expressing personal thoughts, feelings and experiences. A Memorable Family Occassion

The return of my eldest brother from overseas after completing his medical studies in
England was a memorable family occasion.
Every member of our family turned up at the airport with joy and expectations to await his arrival. As the plane taxied in, we wondered how he would look after his long absence, for he had returned only once for a holiday and that was four years back. At last, he appeared, taller and bulkier than ever, looking very different in his trendy clothes and a new hairdo. He had grown shades fairer.
After we had exchanged hugs and greetings, he introduced to us his long-time girl friend who had also qualified as a doctor at the same university. We were thrilledbeyond words when he announced that the two of them had just been engaged. We went home to celebrate the double joy with a re-union dinner. Some of his old classmates, friends and our relatives, too, had been invited that night.
A sumptuous dinner of various courses and delicacies was served with desserts and fruits to round off the meal. Throughout dinner, my brother entertained us with interesting tales of life in England and of his university experiences.

That memorable day ended with great joy. We, his family, were especially proud of his achievements and his choice of a lovely girl.
