ANSWER :

Actually, there are many memorable occasions in my life that I used to undergo/ have experienced. But
if i have to pick one to say, I will choose my 18th birthday which is a significant milestone for me. At that
time, I had just passed all my exams and then I graduated from high school. So on this occasion, my
parents celebrated to welcome my 18th birthday and by the way congratulated me on my graduation. I
had a party at home, so all the dishes were homemade by my mother. I held it on the 30th of July last
year. I invited my whole family and best friends = closest friends to come. They gave birthday wishes
and presents for mẹ. I was extremely delighted because I received a lot of meaningful wishes and gifts.

support my study. And when I turned 18 I felt myself more mature,stronger and more responsible .
