2.1. Example
When it comes to an unforgettable event of my life, my graduation day immediately springs to mind. To this day, I still remember vividly that it wastaken place on a sunny day of September 2010. The graduation ceremony was organized in the main auditorium, which was the venue for important events of my university.
After the Chancellor delivered his graduation speech, the valedictorian, who was a student from the faculty of Business Administration, gave his speech about his experience over the past four years on our behalf. His speech was so heartfelt and emotional that it received a standing ovation from everyone in the auditorium. After that, each student, one by one, walked on the stage to shake hands and receive the degree from the Chancellor.
The idea of walking across the stage in front of hundreds of people made me really anxious and I kept biting my nails when waiting in line behind the stage. However, as soon as I got to the stage, my anxiety was replaced with pride. I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself because my efforts over the past four years finally paid off.
Once the distribution of degrees had been finished, I, together with my friends, made out way to the Main Hall downstairs, where we were greeted by my family members, relatives and friends. Since it was such an occasion, my parents put aside their farmwork and went all the way from my hometown to Ho Chi Minh city to join with me. Later on, we had a professional photographer taking a bunch of photos to save that pivotal moment of mine.
The reason why my graduation day is one of the most memorable events for me is because it signified the transition from university life to the professional world. Leaving the nurturing environment of university, I embarked on a new journey. Whenever I glance at the photographs, memories of that day come rushing back.2.2. Key Vocabulary
