Writing a report of an event

Write a report of an event you will remember for the rest of your life. The event can be a personal event (wedding, anniversary, graduation ceremony, ...) or a festival that thousands of people attend (you can imagine you are a foreigner and you attend a special event celebrated in our country.)
DATE: Wednesday, 5th February.

Include the following
Opening:
-What event is it? When and why is it held? How many people go to this celebration.
-Preparations.

Body:
      What special things did you do/see that day?
       What was the atmosphere like?
       Was there any special decoration?
       Were people wearing something special?
       What was the most memorable moment? What did people do when that moment arrived?
       How did you feel?

Closing:
-How did the event end? Include a concluding sentence and your opinion about the event.

Vocabulary and expressions:
Write a list of expressions from the sample texts that you can use in your writing. Here you are an example of each. Use the following headings:
-What is the event? "...takes place... ; "The event, which celebrates... is something all... look forward to"
-How many people visit every year? "visitors from all over the country gather...."
-Preparations  I had been preparing for ... for months"
-Atmosphere  "excitement was in the air"
-Decorations   "The ... was brightly decorated"
-What did people do?  (narrate the main events)
-What were people wearing? (if important for the event) "...were exotically dressed..."
-What did people do when the most exciting moment arrived? "...cheered with excitement when..." ..."couldn't keep back their tears."
-Final comments   "What an exciting day it had been."

Remember to use "sophisticated" adjectives (extreme adjectives) to make your report more vivid.
