前幾月為了投崇明雅韻,寫了這一篇。自從國二升國三暑假,幾乎沒有機會練習英文,所以寫作似乎退步不少。
We have been together for three years, yet as said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite, and anything long united will surely divide." Alas, the time for us to move on has come. Soon we will have to part as we tread new paths and embark on new journeys to pursue our dreams. As such, the past will continue to abide in our memories and our hearts, and our roads may meet once more in the future.
Friends play an important role in our lives, for they influence us in many aspects. For instance, our peers seem like teachers to us at certain times, guiding us when we are confused and uncertain. Friends are supportive and often lend a helping hand whenever we are in need. True friends will always stay by your side no matter what. Even though they may not applaud you at the moment of your success, they will always be there for you when you’re downcast. These friends we should cherish with all of our hearts, for where would we be without them?
In the past few years, I was fortunate enough to become friends with my classmates. When I was in grade 7, I did not achieve satisfactory marks on my exams. Needless to say, I was discouraged by this. However, Kenneth’s encouragement made me confident, and I improved later on. Afterwards, we frequently discussed mathematics and science together. Apart from our studies, we enjoyed playing chess together. With Alex, I delved into the world of computers. Together we completed the class website and many other computer projects. Furthermore, he regularly spent time giving me advice and helping me with problems I could not solve. This often happened since I had many difficulties learning Chinese. Without my friends, I would never have made it this far.
As a class, we have been together for three years. Although we were unfamiliar with each other when we first met, we eventually managed to cooperate as one. Over time, we gradually comprehended the fact that teamwork cannot be accomplished by any individual. As we struggled to set a new school record for the 2400 meter relay race, we finally acknowledged the importance of teamwork. Alas, soon we will have to say farewell to each other. In this world, all good times must come to an end.
We do not know what awaits us on the road ahead. However, I am certain that it is full of endless possibilities. Without the encouragement of my friends, the guidance of my teachers, and the support of my parents, I would never have made it this far. No words can adequately express my gratitude.
