i have a good friend. he is a handsome boy and his eyes shine with wisdom.
i have known him since senior one. we are both interested in english. once both of us entered for an english contest. how eagerly i expected to get a prize! on hearing that i had failed in the contest, i could hardly hold back my tears.
"what a pity!" i murmured to myself over and over again. i felt that the world had become cold and everyone seemed to be laughing at me.
i love english and have gone all out to study it since my first day in the junior middle school. i have even dreamed of entering a foreign language institute. so i felt very sad.
just at this time, i received a short letter in english, saying, "failure is the mother of success. cheer up! don't lose confidence. keep on your study and you will succeed!" i knew it was from the good friend of mine.
these words encouraged me greatly. i forgot all my sadness. from then on, i studied english even harder. in the next english contest, i got the first prize. of course, he was delighted with my success.
i am very lucky to have such a good friend. i'm thankful to him for his help.
我有一个好朋友。他是一个英俊的男孩，他的眼睛闪烁着智慧。
我从大一就认识他了。我们都对英语感兴趣。有一次我们俩都参加了英语比赛。我多么渴望得到奖品啊！听说我在比赛中失败了，我忍不住流下了眼泪。
“真遗憾！”我一遍又一遍地自言自语。我觉得世界变冷了，每个人似乎都在嘲笑我。
我热爱英语，从初中第一天起就全力以赴地学习英语。我甚至梦想着进入一所外语学院。所以我觉得很难过。
就在这时，我收到了一封英文短信，上面写着：“失败是成功之母。振作起来！不要失去信心。继续学习，你就会成功！”我知道这是我的好朋友寄来的。
这些话使我深受鼓舞。我忘记了我所有的悲伤。从那时起，我更加努力地学习英语。在下一次英语竞赛中，我获得了一等奖。当然，他对我的成功感到高兴。
我很幸运有这样一个好朋友。我感谢他的帮助。
