14. WRITE A COMPOSITION OF APPROXIMATELY 120 WORDS ABOUT THE PROPOSED TOPIC AND FOCUS STRICTLY ON IT: What is your favourite celebration of the year? Why?

Solución: Sample essay: Throughout the year, there are many holidays and celebrations, but my absolute favourite is undoubtedly New Year's Eve. It is a magical time when family and friends gather together to look back on the past twelve months and look forward to new beginnings with hope and excitement. In my hometown, we celebrate this special night by having a wonderful dinner with traditional dishes. As midnight approaches, we prepare twelve grapes to eat along with the twelve chimes of the clock, following Spanish tradition. Afterwards, we toast with cava, hug each other, and exchange heartfelt wishes for the upcoming year. The festive atmosphere in the streets, with fireworks and music, makes it unforgettable. In conclusion, New Year's Eve represents joy, unity, and optimism, which is why I cherish it above all other festivities.
