Our good friend Jason is leaving Beijing tomorrow. Jason is an exchange student who studied at our school for six months.
Jason is smart. He is good at Maths, and he often helped us with our homework. He likes our school because we have more after-school activities and more clubs.
Everyone likes Jason because he is always kind and generous. He is willing to share things with others. Jason also has a great sense of humour. We will never forget his jokes.
Now Jason has to go back to his family and friends in New York. We will all miss him very much. We wish him good luck.

The friend who has impressed me most
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am very grateful to him because he often helps me. My parents are so strict with me that I have a lot of pressure. But he told me that it was because our parents loved us very much that they were strict with us. Once I failed in the exam, my classmates laughed at me, and he said to me, “Don’t be discouraged, and don’t care about what others think of us, keep working hard and we will succeed someday.”
I am very proud that I have such a good friend. I hope our friendship will last forever.
No road is long with good friends.
与良友为伴,路途不觉远 。
A Forever Friend
Thank You!
