Friendship(友誼)
I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I’m worried about(擔心) an exam, I just take a look at(看一眼) it. It is a picture of my best friends taken(拍攝) years ago when we were in high school. It reminds(提醒) me of the good time we’ve shared(分享) and the support(支持) their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions(朝著不同的方向發(fā)展), the bond(密切關系) we created(營造) has kept us close(使我們保持親密). Every week I get a message(信息) on my mobile phone(手機) from one of them, or a letter in the mail(郵件) with the latest news or vacation photos(度假的照片). I often get e-mails with a joke(笑話) for the day, or words of comfort(安慰) about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up(出現(xiàn)，露面) for surprise birthday parties(令我驚喜的生日晚會) and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest(英語演講賽). Our friendship has carried(攜帶) me through a lot of difficult experiences and has enriched(豐富) the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts(超越，比。。。更具生命力的) disagreements(意見不一致), changes(變化), and separation(分離).
