Sample Answer:

One memorable occasion when I received a gift I truly wanted was on my 21st birthday. My elder sister surprised me with a smartwatch I had been eyeing for months.

The smart watch was a sleek, modern gadget with multiple features such as a heart rate monitor, step tracker, and the ability to sync with my Smartphone. It was something I had been wanting because I had recently taken an interest in fitness and technology. However, I hesitated to buy it due to its high price.

My sister had noticed me admiring the smart watch online, and on my birthday, she presented it to me in a beautifully wrapped box. When I unwrapped it and saw the gift, I was overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude.

Receiving this gift made me feel truly valued and understood. It showed how much my sister cared about my interests and needs. I immediately wore the watch and started exploring all its features. This gesture strengthened the bond I share with my sister and made my birthday
