　　Band 6

　　A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged (订婚). I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was hearing the good news (非谓语加分表达). So in order to celebrate this memorable(值得纪念的) occasion, I decided to give her a special cake as a present.

　　Now, I’d like to talk bout the appearance. The cake had two layers (双层) and it looked silky smooth (丝滑的), with some chocolate frosting (巧克力糖霜) and some candy sprinkles (糖果碎) on the outside. What’s best about it is that (主语从句) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance (未婚夫), which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were so delighted. After they cut the cake, I couldn’t help myself and took a bite. Words can’t describe how (语言无法描述多么的...) savory is was! I’m not exaggerating (毫不夸张地说), it tasted so different from any other cake I’d ever had before, so soft and tender (柔软的).

　　As for why it’s special, well, first and foremost, it’s undoubtedly the most special cake I’ve ever had. Plus, it has sentimental values (情感价值) that cannot be replaced and we all enjoyed it very much.

　　Band 7

　　A couple of months ago, my cousin called and told me that she got engaged. I can’t tell you how excited and thrilled I was since mycousin and I are like sisters and she knows me likea book (非常了解某人). So in order to celebrate this memorable occasion, I decided to give her something special, which is afondant cake (翻糖蛋糕).

　　When the wedding day finally came, I saw the cake for thefirst time and I was totally blown away (感到震惊)! It was an 8-inch two-layer cake with a silky smooth finish, decorated with (非谓语) chocolate frosting and some candy sprinkles. The biggest highlight is that (最大的亮点是…) it’s got two little figures on top of it that looked exactly like my cousin and her fiance, which looked super cool! The bride and the groom were overjoyed (开心的, 替换happy) withan ear-to-ear smile (咧开嘴的笑容) on their faces. After they cut the cake, Icouldn’t resist the temptation (无法抗拒诱惑) and took a bite. The second it touched my tongue (当触碰到我的舌尖时，时间状语), I was utterly out of words (无法用语言表达的震惊)! It tasted so soft and tender and it gave me a whole new sensation (一种全新的感受) that I had never had before.

　　As for why it’s special,well, not only (倒装) is it the most palatable (美味的，替换deilicious) cake I’ve ever had, but also it has sentimental values that cannot be replaced.
