we used to live in the same area in India when both of us were going to a university
in Mumbai. But we just run across with each other only in Australia.
Moving onto the next point, I would like to approach the idea of our relationship.
To
be honest, we were not in a very good harmony initially because of some
misunderstandings and conflicts during the time we lived in under the same roof,
shared the rent, bills and time clash. But gradually, we discovered out that we have
a lot of common interests and characteristics.
Living with her is quite enjoyable because we could share lots of things together,
but did not have to worry about bothering each other in the daily life.
Describe an interesting tradition in your country
You should say:
What the tradition is
When do you celebrate it
How do you celebrate it
And explain why it is interesting
Model Answer
India is rich in culture and tradition. The tradition I'm going to talk about today is
saying 'namastey”. We celebrate this tradition every day, in fact several times a
day.
This is our way of greeting each other. We do it by folding our hands, palms facing
each other, fingers pointing towards the ceiling, thumbs pointing towards the chest
and this is accompanied by a slight bow.

This tradition is interesting because this is the biggest export of our traditions to
the western culture. When I say namastey, I mean to say that I am your humble
servant. It creates an aura of respect which is far more than saying hello or shaking
hands.
It is said that the human body is composed of immense energy. We can turn it into
a positive or negative energy. When we shake hands we transfer positive as well
as negative energy. But when we fold hands, we transfer only positive energy.
When we greet another person with namastey
we have no physical contact
because of this the other person cant be affected negatively. Whenerver anyone
comes to our house, we always say Namastey, no
wonder this word has been
adopted by all the English language dictionaries.
