Writing

Sample
I had an unforgettable experience with sadness and happiness.
When my family moved, I had to go to a new school and study in a new class. The first test made me so nervous that I failed. I got worried and felt helpless until one of my new classmates came up to me and asked softly if I was OK. After I told him about my problem, he gave me some advice. From then on, we got to know each other and shared our ideas, problems and happiness. We became good friends.
I learn that sharing with friends helped me bring back my confidence and fit in with others.
