Well, I would like to talk to you about um, my birthday when I received money as a gift and I was given this gift by my father. And uh, actually it didn makes sense because my father and I don’t have a mutual and su, understanding. My fathers don’t know about my interests, my passions and my hobbies. So actually he’s like he said that’his practical person so that he’s want to give them a money as a gift because they don’t, he don’t know where, what the guifts they want to buy, uh, because they don’t know, he don’t know about my, my interest in my hobbies or he don’t know my favorite items. So he just, you know, give them mon and just say that, you know, um, buy anything you want. Happy birthday. Uh, it’s a simpmble however m but I think that it, you know, that ah, gift that money will express uh, the affass that, you know, that he’s always suppressed uh, throughout life because he’s kind of, you know, introvert person and he’s, he’s this person who don’t convey or express his feelings to the family members. So this is a time I feel like his affection, he’caring to me through the gift and it is a money and I think that this is practical and I will use money for, you know, the um, purpose that I feel like this is, you know, useful for me and this is, you know, helpful for my study for example, and it can facilitate my success in the future. And I really appreciate the money he’s gave me. It is just, you know, simple. It’s not lavish gifts but it express his love and efficion, he carings to me.

Well, I'd like to tell you about my birthday when I received money as a gift. My father gave it to me, and it actually made sense because my father and I don't have a very close relationship. He doesn't really know about my interests, passions, or hobbies. He's a very practical person, so he decided to give me money as a gift because he didn't know what to buy me. He didn't know my favorite things or what I was interested in. So he just gave me the money and said, 'Happy birthday, buy anything you want.' It was a simple gift, but I think it expressed his affection for me. He's always been a bit reserved throughout life, kind of an introvert who doesn't always express his feelings to family members. So this gift, the money, felt like a way for him to show his care. I think it was practical, and I used the money for things that I felt were useful for me, like my studies. It helped me succeed in the future. I really appreciated the money he gave me. It wasn't a lavish gift, but it expressed his love and care for me.
