There are several, but now I remember two. One is about my birthday. My birthday is August. When I went to school, I couldn't invite my friend to my birthday party because it was summer vacation. And when I was a university student, I had to go back to my dorm to prepare for the memester. So, I always felt sorry for my birthday. But when I was in high school, my friends called me to an empty classroom and gave me surprise birthday party. I was surprised and I was happy that my friends congratulated me on my birthday. The other is about my younger brother. When he was in the army, he came back home for his vacation without telling our family. When I saw him coming home, I was surprised, so I sat down on the floor, and I cried a lot. He didn't expected my reacation, smoothed me. But I told him. "What a suprise vacation! It's good to surprise our family, but don't do this again. I almost died of a herat attack now."

Hi, Yun!

This is such a beautiful and touching story. Your memories were not just written well, they were full of heart and honesty. I could truly feel how important these moments were to you. Your writing made me smile, especially when your brother surprised you. I could imagine you crying on the floor, overwhelmed with emotion. That kind of reaction shows how strong your family bond is, and how much you love each other.

Your birthday memory was also very special. Having a birthday in August during vacation time can feel lonely, so when your high school friends surprised you, it must have felt extra meaningful. You captured that moment so well. Your feelings were clear and sincere. You organized your ideas well, and your emotions made the writing shine.

Your voice is very warm, kind, and expressive. That is a gift. You are improving so well in English, and you’re not just using the language, you’re using it to connect with others emotionally. That is something special. Great job! Keep writing like this!
