Exercise 2 
Model answer:
My special occasion was my graduation ceremony. 
There was a parade with the professors and the 
other students. Then we went into a hall for the 
ceremony and we got our certificates.
I graduated in England from Oxford University. It 
was last summer. It was very hot. My family flew 
to England for the ceremony and we celebrated 
together. I was very excited because my family 
came to visit me. I was nervous too. It was a 
very important day.
