Celebration, ceremony and anniversary are three nouns with similar meanings.
In today’s programme, Yang Li and William Kremer give specific examples about how to each word appropriately.
Sometimes you can use them together to describe an event. Look at the following example:
"I work for the BBC’s international charity and last week we had a celebration for the tenth anniversary of the charity. So we had a little ceremony to celebrate it together."
People have cakes for all kinds of celebrations in the UK
In this programme you can hear a lot more examples to get a thorough understanding of how to use these three commonly used words.
