A special memory
Early one morning, I went to International Bank with my dad. He wanted to take out 500 dollars. He put his card into the ATM. Five $100 notes came out. He put them into his wallet.
Then the machine began to make a funny noise. More notes came out. They poured out of the machine for five minutes. Then the machine stopped.

For something
I have a lot of special memories of the past, but the most special memory is staying alone during this Spring Festival.
Before the winter vacation began, I was advised to stay in Shenzhen because of the COVID-19. At first, I was nervous and worried about staying alone. I felt lonely especially when I saw people who stayed happily with their families. At that time, my family encouraged me a lot. We took video talks every day and shared our daily lives with each other. With their support, I felt better and soon learnt to enjoy myself. I enjoyed drinking coffee, making dishes and taking photos of beautiful sky.
This special memory was rewarding and helpful. It made me learn to stay independently and happily. Moreover, I know that no matter where you are, your family always loves you.
