Well, speaking of an occasion when many people were smiling, what springs to my mind is my cousin’s 10th birthday party. And you know, in my city, turning to turn is quite a big deal because it is regarded as a milestone stage for a child transit from his or her childhood to adolescence. So in order to celebrate this important day, his parents, my cousin’s parents went out loud. They booked a luxury restaurant and they invited about a hundred guests to attend, including me and my family members. Well, in that day, we sat down and watched a number of performances that were prepared by all ranges of performance. And my cousin also gave a speech as well as Sena Sam. I was quite proud of him, but that’s not the highlight of the day. The highlight was after the feast, we are gathered. Actually, the core member of the family were gathered to taking a group photo. So that’s the moment when most people had to smile because they just didn’t need to maintain or display a perfect smile. And I think that could be a nightmare for the photographer because some would blink and other would move. So in a word, I think that could be a memorable moment to think of a smiley occasion and actually for most of the time the smile of me comes naturally.

Well, speaking of an occasion when many people were smiling, what springs to my mind is my cousin's 10th birthday party. In my city, turning ten is quite a big deal because it is regarded as a milestone stage for a child transitioning from childhood to adolescence. To celebrate this important day, my cousin's parents went all out. They booked a luxury restaurant and invited about a hundred guests to attend, including me and my family members. On that day, we sat down and watched a number of performances that were prepared by performers of all ages. My cousin also gave a speech, as well as Sena Sam. I was quite proud of him, but that wasn't the highlight of the day. The highlight was after the feast when the core members of the family gathered to take a group photo. That was the moment when most people had to smile because they needed to maintain a perfect smile. I think that could be a nightmare for the photographer because some would blink and others would move. In a word, I think that was a memorable moment to think of a smiling occasion, and actually, for most of the time, the smiles came naturally.
