Question – Describe a happy memory from your childhood
You should say:
– What happened
– When and where it happened
– Who you were with
– And explain why it was a happy experience
- I had a joyous childhood, thanks to my loving parents who went to great lengths to ensure happiness for my sister and me.
- While they did scold and punish us occasionally for misdeeds, those instances were rare, leaving me with a plethora of delightful memories.
- Today, I want to recount a memorable experience from my childhood when my parents, sister, and I visited Sikkim.
- Coming from Punjab, where snowfall is a rarity, I had a strong desire to play in the snow, prompting my parents to choose Sikkim for our winter vacation.
- Unlike the usual trend of visiting Sikkim in the summer to escape high temperatures, we were solely driven by the excitement of playing in the snow.
- Fortunately, my maternal uncle, an army officer posted in Sikkim at the time, arranged accommodation for us at the army guest house.
- With my uncle’s children being around the same age as us, we had a blast playing together throughout the day.
- While my parents went shopping, leaving us kids at the guesthouse, we engaged in activities like building snowmen, having snow fights, and relishing some of the best food of our lives.
- From morning till evening, we immersed ourselves in the snowy wonderland.
- The guesthouse had two chefs who happily prepared any dish we requested.
- Although the entire week is a bit of a blur, the reluctance to leave that enchanting place remains etched in my memory.
- Despite making plans to return in the coming years, my uncle’s transfer to another location thwarted our intentions.
