Hello Jenny,
How are things ? I’d like to apologize for not writing to you for so long. I have been so busy. I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since school started. I really like being in high school. It’s exciting, isn’t it ? There are so many new things to do and so many new people to meet.
I have a great new group of friends. Among us, there is very little gap on everything. We’re in the same class. We all like to study together after school because we can help each other. I’m pretty good at English, so many guys ask me for help in English class. After school we usually go to play sports for a little while or listen to the songs of our favorite bands. Sometimes we take a walk by the river or visit some bookstores. We have to be back for evening class at 7:00 p.m.
Among this group, I like Dazhi most. I met him on the sports ground one afternoon when he was sitting alone, deep in thought. I went up to him and introduced myself. I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside about two hundred kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. Dazhi has had an interesting life — a very different life from mine. As time goes on and I get to know him better, I’m finding that we both have a broad range of interests. Many are similar. We even have the same hobby of cooking. I think I can learn a lot from him. Being friends means learning from each other. Don’t you think so ?
I have invited Dazhi to come to my home for dinner this Sunday. We will cook together. I think we will have a good time. We always have lots of things to talk about. I am quite happy with this growing friendship. It has opened a door to many new experiences.
I’ve got to go back to class now.
Talk soon.
Your friend,
Li Ming
Hi Li Ming,
Thank you for your email. Like you, I really enjoy being in high school. You’re right ! There are so many new people to meet and so many new things to do and learn.
Pat is my best friend at school, but we don’t have all of our classes together. We have gym class together every day. I like the fact that Pat is very active in all of our school activities. She doesn’t like the students who are passive and just do what they are told to do. We eat lunch together in the dining room every day and we talk and laugh a lot.
Pat and I want to try out for the basketball team this year. Playing sports is a lot of fun and a great way to make new friends. Last year, my friend Kara and I played on the same team. It was hard at the beginning. Fortunately I had Kara, who was always there to encourage me every time I had a bad game. She would always find a way to help me stop feeling bad about myself and remind me that playing basketball was supposed to be fun. She’s really funny too, and she’s so good at making people laugh. It’s really great having her as a friend. It’s important to have friends that can share the good times with you as well as the bad times.
This Friday, Pat is having a birthday party at her house. I can hardly wait ! We will listen to our favorite bands, watch our favorite movies and have a comfortable chat. We will talk and talk all night long. I think the most important thing for me is to have good friends to talk to. I like to talk to them about everything — everyday things, funny things, difficult things, and important things. We even tell each other secrets. Friends are special, aren’t they ?
With best wishes.
Your friend,
Jenny
