SET口說講稿分享 by Martin- Describe a time when you received some money as a gift

Describe a time when you received some money as a gift. You should say:

• who gave it to you


• what the occasion was


• how you felt


• and explain what you did with the money.

Today I want to talk about a very special moment for me when I received money as a gift.

This happened before I left my home country for my studies in the US. Since I'm from Taiwan, it is part of the Taiwanese culture to give money to represent luck, and such money is always given in a red envelope.

So for that occasion, I received many red envelopes from different family members, including my parents, my siblings, and even my brother-in-law! To be honest, at first I was a bit overwhelmed by the significant amount of money I received and I didn't feel comfortable because I thought I didn't deserve such thing. But then my mom explained to me that that was simply a type of blessing that they wanted to give me and that they truly wanted to wish me success in my studies.

I understood their intention and gesture, so I was very thankful and emotional at the same time. When I arrived to the US, one of the first things I did was to open a bank account to deposit the money. Since I lived in the school's dormitory, I didn't have many expenses so I used the money for different kinds of entertainment, such as eating at restaurants with friends, visiting nearby museums, and even attending a Formula 1 race event!

All in all, I am very grateful for having such a nice family, and although it was just money that I received, I could really feel their love, care, and support.
