How I have memorized the word "brightness".
Once, my family and I were in Singapore. One day we decided to visit Bay South Garden and Flower Dome with Cloud Forest.
I had ordered the tickets by the Internet and we went.
It was convenient for us got to the Garden by subway, because the Blue subway line was just five minutes for a walk from our hotel.
We got off metro station, went for a walk a little bit and got into the Gardens.
After a wonderful promenade in the Gardens we went to the greenhouses.
I had e-tickets so I prepared my phone.
At the ticket control a girl asked me to put the barcode of the thicket on the scanner, but it didn’t work.
She asked me did it one more time, then again and again.
There are a lot of people behind us and I began to worry about.
The girl said “Increase the brightness of your phone, please”, but I couldn’t remember what the word “brightness” means.
I wrote that word in Google translate and got an answer.
After I had increased the brightness of the phone, barcode of the ticket was scanned and we passed through into.
So I have memorized the world “brightness” for all my life.
P.S. while I was writing the story I thought that It was a rather expensive way to improve my vocabulary :)

How I Have Memorized the Word "Brightness" (1)
Once, my family and I were in Singapore. (2) One day, we decided to visit Gardens by the Bay which houses attractions such as the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.I had (3) reserved the tickets by on the Internet and we went there. It was convenient for us to go to the gardens by subway because the blue subway line was just a five-minute walk from our hotel. We got off the train, emerged from the metro station, walked a short distance and reached the gardens.
After a wonderful time along the promenade near the gardens, we went to the conservatories. I had the e-tickets so I prepared my phone. At the ticketing gate, (4) a staff / an employee asked me to flash the barcode at the scanner, but it didn’t work. She asked me to try repeatedly but each time, it didn't work. There are a lot of people behind us and I began to worry about the queue. The girl said, “Increase the brightness of your phone, please,” but I couldn’t remember what the word “brightness” means. I entered that word in Google Translate and got an answer. After I had increased the brightness of the phone screen, the barcode of the e-ticket was scanned and we were able to enter.
So, I have understood and memorized the meaning of the word “brightness” for the rest of my life.

Hi Mikhail,
I am glad you enjoyed your trip to the gardens. There is a cacti garden where you can view many types of succulents and cacti. Admission is free. Did you visit it?
Just a few suggestions for your writing:
(1) There are different styles on capitalising titles. Generally, we capitalise the first letter of every word with the exception of (i) prepositions (ii) articles.
(2) We use a comma (,) to separate an introductory word or phrase from the rest of the sentence. As the name implies, an introductory phrase introduces the main idea of the sentence and links it to an idea of a previous sentence.
Example: We had an eventful day in the gardens. After that, we sampled some local cuisine.
(3) We "reserve" or "make a reservation" for something so that you can still buy it even if it is already sold out.
(4) "Employees" are paid to work for a company or another person. You can also use the word "staff" as a collective noun to refer to the entire group of employees in a company.
I hope this helps.
(I had to split my post because there is a word limit.)
