i have a good friend. he is a handsome boy and his eyes shine with wisdom.
i have known him since senior one. we are both interested in english. once both of us entered for an english contest. 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 confidence. 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.
我有一个好朋友。他是一个英俊的男孩，他的眼睛闪烁着智慧。
我从大一就认识他了。我们都对英语感兴趣。有一次我们俩都参加了英语比赛。我多么渴望得到奖品啊！听说我在比赛中失败了，我忍不住流下了眼泪。
“真遗憾！”我一遍又一遍地自言自语。我觉得世界变冷了，每个人似乎都在嘲笑我。
我热爱英语，从初中第一天起就全力以赴地学习英语。我甚至梦想着进入一所外语学院。所以我觉得很难过。
就在这时，我收到了一封英文短信，上面写着：“失败是成功之母。振作起来！不要失去信心。继续学习，你就会成功！”我知道这是我的好朋友寄来的。
这些话使我深受鼓舞。我忘记了我所有的悲伤。从那时起，我更加努力地学习英语。在下一次英语竞赛中，我获得了一等奖。当然，他对我的成功感到高兴。
我很幸运有这样一个好朋友。我感谢他的帮助。
On last Sunday, we went to clumbing. The moutain is so high, we really couldn't
climb to the top of the mountain. But she said we should believe in ourselves, at last, we finally climbed to the top. And the truth was that we stopped a while and walked a while.
Now think of that , I really think we have so much potencial characteristics.
