2. Translate the following passage into Gujarati:

I was excited about our stay and the grand wedding. Five hundred guests had been invited and the local town hall was booked. For two days, large scale cooking had been going on. When we eventually wandered into the kitchen, sweets were lined up on large trays along one wall. In huge iron cooking pots, all kinds of vegetarian curries bubbled and boiled.

The next day I dressed up my three girls in the same green and gold outfits and felt pleased. It was a great occasion, a fantastic display of wealth. The vast town hall floor was decorated with hand drawn design using a thin rice flour and water mixture. Women in expensive gold and silk saris sat in groups and gossiped over the noise of beating drums and blowing trumpets.

The ceiling was decorated beautifully with hundreds of yellow coconut and mango leaves that waved like small green flags. Fifty young banana trees, heavy with green fruit, were arranged upright to guard the path that the bride would walk upon. The groom stood handsome and proud at the end of the banana-tree guarded path.

When the bride arrived at the doorway of the hall, she glittered like a goddess. After the exchange of rings, the garlands and the tying of the thick gold chain, preparation for the great feast began at the other end of the hall.

There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.

All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. i
