Thank You,My Friend
I have a good friend.He is a handsome boy and his eyes shine with wisdom①.
I have known him since Senior One.We are both interested in English.Once both of us entered for an English contest②.How eagerly I expected to get a prize!On hearing that I had failed in the contest,I could hardly hold back my tears.“What a pity!” I murmured to myself over and over again.I felt that the world had become cold and everyone seemed to be laughing at me.
I love English and have gone all out to study it since my first day in the junior middle school.I have even dreamed of entering a foreign language institute.So I felt very sad.
Just at this time,I received a short letter in English,saying,“Failure is the mother of success.Cheer up!Don't lose confidence③.Keep on your study and you will succeed!” I knew it was from the good friend of mine.
These words encouraged me greatly.I forgot all my sadness.From then on,I studied English even harder.In the next English contest,I got the first prize.Of course,he was delighted with my success.
I am very lucky to have such a good friend.I'm thankful to him for his help.
