The best day of my life was while I was attending a commencement ceremony at Bangkok university on April 30, 2015, my relatives arrived without advanced notice.
ReplyDeleteThe best day of my life was WHEN I ATTENDED... simple past, began and ended in the past.
DeleteThe best day of my life was while I was 14 years old, I saw my fathers in my house for first time, he was in jail for 13 years, but he always called us and we visited him in jail. It was so special and important because I imagined that moment for a lot of time. I have memories of us while we were eating and laughing together at the family table, it was a great moment in my life.
ReplyDeleteThe best day of my life was WHEN I was 14 years old (its a SPECIFIC TIME in the past)
DeleteSpecial story, thank you for sharing.
April 30,2016, was my wedding day, and it was the best day of my life, too. My husband and I were senior high school classmates. On that day, we both felt so happy and content. We selected the water wall park in downtown Houston to hold our wedding ceremony. It was a sunny and wonderful day. While the priest was reading wedding vows, I recalled our sweet time. Then My husband's good friends congratulated us. How We also wish to be together with our parents at that moment.
ReplyDeleteGrammar is correct.
DeleteYour parents were not at your wedding? You got married while you were still in high school?
Our parents are still in China. They didn't attend our wedding. We were only high school classmates at that time. We got married this year. we have already graduated from high school for many years.
DeleteI cannot say I have a best day because honestly I went through many happy moments, one of them was the day of my professional exam. I remember it was at 8:00 am and was very nervous because I was the first in my class who take the exam, two hours after my professors ended up with me and asked to wait a few minutes to have the test results. That minute’s look like an hour so, after that mi family and I came thru the room and guess what? they told me that I passed the exam!!!!!! It was an experience I would like to live it again, because after I have been studying for months I had good results, so I can say that was one of my best days
ReplyDeleteThat minute LOOKED like an hour...
DeleteNICE

The best day of my life was three years ago. I never forgot that day. It was my graduating day. I had been waiting for this along time. Finally, it was my turn. Our school primary color was red and they required us to wear cap and gown with our year tassel. On that day, all students wore red cap and gown with blue and with tassel on the cap. Sounds really fun right? Yup! After that, we sat in the waiting room prepared to walk out to the stadium. My heart was beating fast when I walked out there. After the Principal had done his speaks, we were about to going up to pedestal to get our diploma. Everyone got big smiles face in front of the camera for a big moment in their life. After all, I got out the stadium, then I was looking for my family. When I saw them, I surprised because I didn't expected the flowers, balloons, all of my aunties and cousin were there. We took a picture and talked for a while. Then we headed to the restaurant and end my special day.
ReplyDeleteI WILL NEVER FORGET that day. It was my GRADUATION day.

The day I came to the US was one of the most excited days of my life. I was really happy to finally met my sister after 4 years not seeing each other. It was also the first time I get to see my brother in law. I was crying a lot while he was giving me the welcome present. I was both happy and suprised to receive the gift I had always dreamt of. While waiting for my brother in law to get the car, my sister and I were talking a lot about what happened during 4 years staying away from each other. We then got on the car to head back home. Everything on the way looked strange and wonderful to me. No word can explain how excited I was to start my new journey and explore the new world.
ReplyDeletethe most EXCITING days of my life
Deletethe first time I GOT to see my brother-in-law.
A very heartwarming reunion story; very well written.
Dec 22 2016 was kind of the best day of my life which was the day i came to the US, also was changed my life. First, my family and I had done all steps the airport needed. Then, I walked out, and took a deep breath of the air. I saw a lot of relatives who were waiting for us. It was surprising to me. I met some people who I haven't met. Finally, when i uncle was driving me, i saw a lot of things that i have never seen before. I thought there were a lot of beautiful things. It was amazing and I was really happy.
ReplyDeleteLet's fix this paragraph after we learn the past perfect tense.
DeleteI am going to tell you about the best day of my life. The day of my life was when I bought my first car, This car was a 1973 Mercury Montego, beige color , a very big car with very low miles, and it used to belong to a Postman, and He asked me $ 600.00 for the car. In my country I never used to drive, so I did not have much experience in driving a car, and little by little I learned to drive , I felt so happy with my car, because I have the freedom to go every where, and I was not to depend on other to took me to my job or shopping. That time was 1981 in Houston, and in this City there was not bus line,
ReplyDeletebecause I HAD the freedom... and I was not DEPENDENT on others to TAKE me...
DeleteNice story :)

The best day of my life was two years ago . It was my cousine wedding on the 8th December . The next day was the reception which was on the 9th December and it was also my birthday . It was a special day for me . As there was a lot of preparation on that day, everyone forgot to wish me . I thought maybe they forget my birthday . In the evening went home to get dress , as I lived so close from my cousine. when I was coming all my cousine and family was eating together . I was really sad I didn't even food . I was sitting alone . Suddenly my brother in law came to see me and asked me to go eat . I said no and he forced me to eat . So I went upstairs I was eating and he sit beside me . After a few second the light went off and one of my cousine call my name loud and put the song happy birthday. I just ran and went downstairs . Everybody stand up and sing for me and I was so emotional I started crying . I was so happy . I always remembered that day .

One of the best day in my life it was our trip to Florida, because there was a lot of activity to do. First of all, our distantion was to Orlando to go to Disney Land and we were so excited. The other day when we arrived to Orlando we went to Disney Land. As soon as we get there we were very happy to ride the all rollercoaster. Then my family and I decided to go to Miami. The wither there was so humidity.

Christmas Night.
ReplyDeleteWonderful feelings came to me while I was remembering last Christmas Night. I went to visit my family with my husband and my kids. My kids were so excited that night, because Santa came in the earliest 25th in my Country, with all Christmas gifts. They were watching the clock while Santa came home with a big Christmas bag. They couldn’t believe that Santa was there. They never saw him before. Fortunately, Santa was so busy that night. So he left the bag while he was waiving his hand and was saying Merry Christmas. So my kids had an excellent experience with Santa.
They were watching the clock WHEN Santa came home...
DeleteThey couldn't believe that he was there because they HAD NEVER SEEN him before (past perfect next week!)
Well written.
The best day of my life was when I bought my own new car in US. Because I liked driving. While I was living in my country, my parent denied to buy a car. However, the transportation of Houston was terrible, so I had to own a car. I explaned the situation this city and then they allowed and gave money to buy a car. The day when I drove the new car on highway was the best moment in my life.
ReplyDelete...my parents refused to buy me a car.
DeleteGood past tense
The best day of my life was when I was 11 years old. I remember that was in the morning. I was going to school while I was hearing my twin brother got burned. I was jumping. In that day, I was really really happy. That was the best day in my life.
