RESPONSE>> Tell us about a memorable present you receive from someone.

One of the most memorable gifts in my life was a sweater my mother had knitted for me.
ex> She knitted a sweater for my birthday.

It took her several weeks to make it and that’s why it was all the more special.
* all the more special: 그만큼 더 특별한
ex> You being here made tonight all the more special.
ex> I got married at a church, which made it all the more special.

She actually went to knitting classes to learn how to knit it.
ex> She went to cooking classes before she got married.

It was truly a gift I couldn’t forget.

Another gift I remember was a wedding present I got from a friend.
ex> We tend to just give cash as the wedding present here.

He gave me a digital picture frame.
ex> The digital picture frame really lights up the living room.

I was able to put thousands of pictures in there and have them rotate.

My wife and I enjoyed our wedding pictures for months thanks to that gift.
ex>  I was able to pass the test thanks to your help.
