Last March was my birthday. So I had party with my family. it sometimes was very special event for me. Just I and my family had dinner together at fascinating restaurant, and my family sang a birthday song for me, and I blew out the candles, and they gave me a gift with their best wishes. However if someone asked to me what the best birthday was in my life, I’d like to choose the birthday party when I was 17 years old. I think that day nobody knew my birthday, and I was very disappointed at the situation. Then early moring, I just got up and prepared for the school. But suddenly I smelled something, and it was like very delicious food. It was seaweed soup! The soup was my favorite food. My mother knew my birthday, but she couldn’t afford to buy some gift because we had a little financial problem at that time. However my mother didn’t want to mark me for my life. So, she got earlier than me and cooked it for me. The taste of the seaweed soup was excellent, and I couldn’t forget the taste forever. Unfortunately I never eat the delicious soup again because my mother already passed away 3 years ago. Whenever I have my birthday party, I always recollect and missed at the time.
