The word "celebration" conjures up images of guests, plenty of
fun, food, and a slew of other details. And when we talk about preparations, we
mean that we plan a lot of things for such occasions. When it comes to our
loved ones' birthdays, getting the nicest and most exquisite cake is our first
priority. Because this cake, if enjoyed by the birthday boy or girl, may make
the special day even more wonderful. If it isn't acceptable, it may disappoint
the birthday person.
I recall one event in particular –
I was once invited to my cousin's 18th birthday celebration. It had been
an extravagant party. Everything was in order and well-organized. Following
that, it was time to cut the cake. She proceeded to cut the cake and discovered
pineapple bits within. She was enraged and dismayed when she saw this. She then
began cursing and weeping before retreating to her room. We were all
perplexed... Except for her parents, we couldn't comprehend anything. They felt
terrible and approached their housekeeper, who had placed the order for the
cake. When they asked why she didn't tell the baker about their daughter's
pineapple allergy. She said - "I warned man, problem with pineapple, don't
add all," the housekeeper answered. Hearing this, the parents were
furious, because their daughter had a pineapple allergy, and they had told
their housekeeper to warn the baker not to use pineapple at all. Because the
house help hasn't had any formal education in the English language,
she completely misinterpreted the message and forwarded it incorrectly to the
baker. It, of course, ruined the party and the joy.
Another event comes to mind -
I was in our town's well-known
bakery. I was perusing their menu, which included pastries and a variety of
cakes. That day, I was craving a pastry. In a flash, my gaze was drawn to a
magnificent pastry. In comparison, it outperformed all of the other items. I
wanted to place an order right now. When I looked at the title "Pain au
chocolat," I realized it had a strange name; in fact, I still have trouble
pronouncing it. I apparently just informed the server that I wanted it. I said,
"Give me one pastry, this one." I felt self-conscious. I was upset. I
discovered I wasn't quite the English Master I had imagined myself to be. I
still had a long list of words to learn. I wanted to inform my friends about
the delicious dessert I had the other day and encourage them to try it as well.
I, on the other hand, was stunned and didn't say anything. I couldn't say the
name of the pastry I'd eaten since I didn't know how to pronounce it. I put the
incident behind me and kept the pastries to myself. If I'd understood how to pronounce that term, I'm sure I would have been
appreciated profusely for treating my companions to a delicious delicacy at
the Bakery. I'm glad I didn't make a mistake, though. The cost of the
pastry was prohibitively high. I only had enough pocket money that day to have
it.
Sometimes I get the impression that understanding the jargon of
astronomy or mechanical engineering isn't necessary. The value of having a
strong grasp of the English language cannot be overstated. There will be no
more embarrassing situations or botched celebrations!
I'd want to emphasize that whichever language you speak; you must study
and speak it fluently in the manner in which natives do. You won't misjudge
people this way, and you won't ruin any pleasures. So, if you're studying English, make sure you
learn it correctly and speak it fluently. And it is critical that you practice
saying it without reluctance on a daily basis. Because you say exactly what you
mean.
