: Sample Answer

A recent holiday that I celebrated was the Eid-ul-Fitr a few months back. Eid-ul-Fitr is one of the major festival and the holiday for Muslims. I celebrated it with my parents and siblings in my hometown

I had 4 days off for the occasion and I was in my hometown in those days. Before the Eid day, I did some shopping for my family members and relatives. In Eid day I wake up early in the morning, took a shower and went to the Mosque to say my prayer. We wore new clothes on the day and had several delicious menus cooked at home. We went to visit some of our neighbours and relatives in the evening and spent a great day with joy and happiness

This Eid day is very significant for Muslims and they celebrate with great joy and religious norm. For me, this is religiously important and I can be with my family members on this occasion
