So now I would like to describe a picture in my family, and it's one of my favorite pictures in my house. The picture is of my family. There are four people in the picture, and it was taken when we were on a trip to Mui Ne, a popular tourist attraction in Phan Thiet Province. Now it is hung on the wall in a visible spot in my house, so it's easy for people to look at when they visit. The picture was taken when we were walking around the sand dunes. You know, the sand dunes; Mui Ne is famous for its many sand dunes, and it's a really special area in my country. My mom wanted to capture the most beautiful moments of our family. She asked a photographer to take a photograph for us to preserve it as a memorable moment. Fortunately, the picture was taken when we were smiling warmly, and when I pass by the picture, I can enjoy the feeling of togetherness and happiness of my family. The picture is special to me because it was the first family picture of my family, and it gives me a sense of warmth and joy, so I want to preserve it for years to come.
