【sample answer】
Last year, I had a reunion with some relatives during the Spring Festival.
It was supposed to be a good chance for us to meet each other and talk about how things are going. However, I found that everyone was busy taking selfies or checking out his or her smartphone instead of chatting with each other.
As for what I did, at first, I began to find some topics totalk with them, trying to warm up the atmosphere. However, it turned out to be quite an embarrassing conversation because some of them kept asking me about privatethings like my salary and dating experience.
Speaking of why I felt bored, well, I would say that it was the mosttedious reunionthat I had ever had. Honestly, I thought thatfamily reunions could be a bit more enjoyable and people could share interestingexperiences rather than digging privacies of others. Later I realized that I wasn't in a talking moodat allsince I already gotfed up withthis occasion and Iwas totally spacedout.
In fact, I really wanted to escape from there as soon as possible but in order to show some politeness, I pretended to be glad to respond to their awkward questions. Also, I tried to change the subject when I didn't want to answer. Frankly speaking, if I could choose, I would never have such kind of reunion in the future.
