So now I’m going to talk you about an essential day which I forgot. It was my friend’s birthday. I had been really busy with my study and houseworks and I didn’t check the date. But I wanted to congratulate her at 12 o’clock but I was asleep that moment. And in the morning you can’t believe but even that time I didn’t notice the date and went to school as similarly. However the gift which I bought in advance was at home. So I came into the class and saw beautiful decoration with lots of balloons. That time I didn’t understood what’s happening. However I saw her. She stowed with lots of gifts which received from others. And only that time I have understood that situation. But I felt really ashamed for my action and immediately explained my situation to her. Fortunately she understood me but I saw from her eyes she was so upset like me because it’s the first time over the seven years of our friendship. And after school I quickly went home to get a present. And I gave to her also again asked for forgiveness what’s happening. And that time I understand that I shouldn’t forget others essential days and also essential moments.

So now I'm going to talk to you about an essential day that I forgot. It was my friend's birthday. I had been really busy with my studies and housework, and I didn't check the date. I wanted to congratulate her at 12 o'clock, but I was asleep at that moment. In the morning, you can't believe it, but even then I didn't notice the date and went to school as usual. However, the gift I had bought in advance was at home. I came into the class and saw beautiful decorations with lots of balloons. At that time, I didn't understand what was happening. However, I saw her surrounded by lots of gifts she received from others. Only then did I understand the situation. I felt really ashamed of my actions and immediately explained my situation to her. Fortunately, she understood me, but I could see in her eyes that she was as upset as I was because it was the first time in our seven years of friendship. After school, I quickly went home to get the present. I gave it to her and also asked for forgiveness for what happened. At that time, I understood that I shouldn't forget important days and moments for others.
