Monday 12/10 9:13 p.m.
My best friend and I have been close for eight years.When I was an awkward② primary school student, she was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me.Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she's been almost like a sister to me.Whether we're walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we're hardly out of③each other's sight④. But last Saturday, she broke my heart, and I'm still picking up the pieces.
本句为复合句。句中含有Whether...or...引导状语从句。
Our original⑤ plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon.But in the morning, my friend posted a message on social media⑥ saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it⑦ to the cinema.“Don't worry,” I said.“Get some rest.We can wait till you get better.”
本句为简单句。句中含有“be to+v”结构。
本句为复合句。其中saying为现在分词短语作状语,表伴随。
Today, however, I received a horrible⑧ surprise.A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting⑨ with another girl in a café⑩ on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend's “illness” was a complete lie! Instead of recovering⑪ at home, she was out having fun with someone else.
本句为复合句。句中she had seen...afternoon为省略了that的宾语从句。在宾语从句中chatting with...为v.ing形式做宾语补足语。
I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I still don't feel like⑫ responding⑬ to any of her online messages.The stress of this situation is killing me, and I'm at a loss⑭ what to do next.
