You know, in China, we students are not allowed to have a relationship or date someone in high school. If you do it, you may get into big trouble. But you know, I did it during my high school life. That girl was very cute and she often wore a skirt. In my first year of high school, that girl was good at all of subjects except for mathematics. At that moment, I was especially good at math and I often performed well in mathematic exam. So she often asked me about math problems. One day, I invited her to go to the city library and study together. To my surprise, she agreed. You know, at the moment when I heard her answer, I was so excited because if we went to library, that would be our first time alone together. During studying in the library, I just helped her solve some mathematic problems, but you know, I felt rather nervous when teaching her, making eye contact with her and looking at her face. After leaving library, we had a candle-lit dinner, which was really romantic. About this teaching, what I taught her was not important, it was just an opportunity to spend quality time with the girl you loved. I felt that I was the happiest man back then. This is a speaking topic from IELTS speaking exam, could you help me make my answers sound more natural? Thanks a lot.

I would like to share a romantic experience that when I taught a girl who I had a crush on in my high school. You know, in China, we students are not allowed to have a relationship or date someone in high school. If you do it, you may get into big trouble. But you know, I did it during my high school life. That girl was very cute and she often wore a skirt.

In my first year of high school, that girl was good at all of the subjects except for mathematics. At that moment, I was especially good at maths and I often performed well in the mathematics exam. So she often asked me about mathematical problems. One day, I invited her to go to the city library and study together. To my surprise, she agreed. You know, at the moment when I heard her answer, I was so excited because if we went to the library, that would be our first time alone together.

During the time we were studying in the library, I just helped her solve some mathematical problems, but you know, I felt rather nervous when teaching her, making eye contact with her and looking at her face. After leaving the library, we had a candle-lit dinner, which was really romantic.

What was meaningful about this teaching situation was that what I taught her was not important. It was just an opportunity to spend quality time with the girl you I loved. I felt that I was the happiest man back then.

You could add an idiom like 'I was over the moon' which means you were very, very happy when she answered.
