Answer:
A letter to a friend including describing the national celebration and how it is celebrated in my country is written below in detail.
Explanation:
Dear Julius,
I am delighted to write to you today. How are you and the family?
This year's Independence celebration is the best I have undergone all my life. My school is the best and they gave me the best independence day adventure. Every student in my school previously assumed that day because the items of the program and the practices are already records that the day was going to be excellent. The day came and brought no mistake. There were several ventures such as match past, tributes to National protagonists, choreographies, shows, to mention but a few. I took a very important role in addressing the country's post-independence history to the gathering. I was very elated to stand in front of such an august assembly.
Several notable celebrities graced the event with their appearance, people like the administrator for youths and sport, administrator for information and culture, etc.
Nonetheless, I hope to hear back from you on how the independence ceremony was done in your academy too.
Have a fabulous week ahead my good friend.
Your friend,
ABC

I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong.
Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions:
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them:
Main Idea
The question might look something like this:
"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?"
"The main topic of the passage is...."
Primary Purpose
The question might look like this:
"The primary purpose of this passage is to..."
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..."
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?"
"The main concern of the passage is to..."
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...."
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."
i think this is helpful to
