FRIENDSHIP


A friend is not the person you meet and greet everyday, but he is the person you can know what happened with him without saying anything, the person you want to share your feeling, your thought whenever you have happiness or sadness and so does he. It makes you and him closer and closer, also it is the friendship which is very important in one's life.


When I was in primary and secondary school, I was a close-mouthed boy, so I didn't have many friends. After school, I only stayed at home and studied, I didn't join in activities with the children at my age. I didn't know much about everything around me. At that time, I was really bored and lonely, but I didn't know what I have to do and no one helped me.


However, in the year I entered high school, everything changed. I remembered the first days I was so nervous; therefore, I just sat quietly. Later, a boy sitting next to me told some gossips. I started to concentrate on what he said; I also joined in by some my stories. I felt better then. I found that schooltime was more interesting than I expected. I talked more with other classmates, and I admired them much when I knew that they had many difficulties to go to school. Thank to them, I found that I was luckier and learned how to be more optimistic. We were more understanding.


During three years in high school, we didn't changed our class. Everyone wanted that, for we knew there was the place we really needed. Our class took part in many school activities such as singing competition, flower agranging, wall- paper writing... , and we won a lots. In the last year, we celerated birthday parties for every members each month. We sang, danced and took a lot of photo to make a CD; beside, we had our class uniform which was designed by me. I became more active and happier.


Our friendship is not always happy, but , sometimes ,some members had arguments. However, the others soon celerated a inside-classroom meeting to solve the problem. Everything was OK again. I remembered a memory. Once time, I had a very boring thing, I cried a lot. But I didn't want my friends to know. After school, when I hurried go home, they gave me a letter; they sang a beautiful song and say nothing. After reading the letter, I cried again much more. Not because I was sad, because I was too happy.They gave me the faith in life and helped me overcome everything. I believed that friendship is what I have spent.


Now, we all graduated; we still keep contact. We usually meet each other at the weekend. I hope that our friendship will last forever.

MY FAMILY

Have you ever wondered if what a family is and how a happy family is? To me, I have thought much about that, but I still don't have the answer. However, I can self-confidently speak that I have a family and my family is happy.
Living in a big family in a village, with parents and six children, we don't have good living condition. As many other people in village, my parents are kind-hearted farmers. They have to work hard all day on rice paddies to support for my whole family. That is really a difficult thing. Understanding our parents' hard, we don't ask for many things except for our studying. My sisters help parents do housework, take care of younger members, help me and my brother do homework. I remember the days we walked to school together, played games in the yard in front of our house and quarreled, sometimes, which made our parents scolded at us. Of course, each member has different characters so it is certainty. But the importance is that we were soon joyful again. The time we spend together most is in dinner. We talk about many things and share our emotion with the others. We have a very closed-knit relationship. Although our parents don't spend much time at home as well as show their emotion to us, we all know they love and take pride in us very much. However, sometimes they are very strict. They often punish us when we had a mistake. As our parents usually said that bringing up us was their biggest desire and they always want us to try to learn to have a good future. This is the most valuable present we can give our parents.
Now, when we grow up, all of that became nice unforgettable memories. My four elder sisters have their own jobs, my elder brother and I are studying at university. We still seem children with our parents. They always care for us. whenever I go away, I miss my family very much. East or West, there is no place like home because there I have a family.
