I would like to share an unforgettable experience when the electricity suddenly went out. Last year, our family traveled to the countryside to visit my uncle's family. In the evening, when we were about to start our dinner, the lights suddenly went out. We waited for a while, but the lights didn't come back. Therefore, we decided to move our dinner outdoors to the garden. This was truly captivating. It was an exciting experience because we could enjoy our dinner in a special environment surrounded by numerous big trees and flowers. In addition to savoring the delicious food, we also enjoyed the pleasant smell of the flowers around us, as well as the singing of birds and frogs, especially under the moonlight. I felt that this was a truly captivating and unforgettable experience because it was really difficult for us to have this kind of dinner a second time.
