01---Friendship 友谊

Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy．It is very difficult to find a better definition of friendship．

A true friend does indeed find pleasure in our joy and share sorrow in our grief．In time of trial, he or she is always at our side to give us his or her help and comfort.

Knowing how valuable friendship is，we should be very careful in our choice of a friend．We must choose someone who has a good character，whose activities are good and who shows kindness of heart. We should avoid those shallow people who are easily changed by adversities or misfortune.

A true friend can always be trusted, loved and respected．If you tell a friend your secrets, he or she won’t tell anyone else．Friends share each other’s joys and sorrows. They help each other when they are in trouble, and cheer each other up when they are sad. The most important thing is that a friend always understands you. In conclusion，when you have made a good friend, don’t forget him or her．

I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China ”
