The canteen was crowded with summer campers from high schools across the city, all extremely hungry after a days’ activities. I spotted an empty place and walked there. Just as I put my tray (餐盘) down, I felt a bump against my hip. The tray dropped on the table and the soup spilled all over my camp shirt and jeans. And I heard a burst of laughter.
“Can’t you look where you are going, you clumsy fool!” I shouted, glaring at the troublemaker, a tall boy with wild hair.
“Sorry! Can’t help laughing! You look so funny!” said the boy, bending over with laughter. I was too annoyed to respond and just walked away to change my clothes.
The next morning, we all assembled for roll-call (点名), when I saw the same boy run out of the dorm,with his unbuttoned shirt flying behind him. Before he could slide into his place,he was spotted by the Camp Commandant. As a punishment for being late,he was made to do a hundred push-ups. As I walked past him later. I let out a loud laugh, saving, “Sorry. I can’t help laughing. You look so funny.”
So the war of words continued in the following three days with the wild-haired boy, whose name, I found out, was Ben.
A mountain hike marked the last day of the camp. On the way back, I found myself left far behind my team. Soon, they were out of sight. The camp site was a long way away and I was getting anxious as night fell. I risked taking a short-cut (近路) clinging to the mountain side, but suddenly, I tripped off the path and slid right down the slope (斜坡).
Fortunately, my fall was stopped by a bunch of bamboo. I saw I was about ten meters below the track. There was no way I could climb up the slope as evidently I had my ankle broken. After making several vain attempts, I waited hopelessly. It got dark and I became increasingly afraid.

Paragraph 2:The next day, as we were boarding the buses which would take us back to our own homes, Ben came up to me.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All through school, I had only one close friend. We spent years together, essentially joined at the hip. But then Greg moved away, and I never thought it would take more than 40 years to bring us together again.
As children, Greg and I dove into everything with passion. At that time, we were pure and kind, full of curiosity and expectation for life. We raced our bikes and illustrated our own comic books. We even became attracted to the same blonde girl from around the corner, a sixth-grader named Joanne who barely knew we existed.
The last time I saw Greg was sometime in 1966. It was so short a meeting that I couldn't recall saying goodbye before he moved. Since then, we lost touch.
But then, a few summers ago, I saw a familiar woman. "Excuse me. Would your name happen to be Joanne?”
“Uh, yes…” She didn't recognize me until I explained who I was. We hadn't exchanged more than a few dozen words in our entire lifetime. “Have you stayed in touch with Greg?” she asked. I was surprised she even knew of our friendship.
“No. I haven't,” I admitted. “I wish I had.”
Back at the cabin I checked my messages. I glanced at one email, and then read it from start to finish. The email was from Greg.
Greg had tracked me down through social media. He was now married, had two children and had become a musician and entrepreneur(企业家). We exchanged several emails before connecting by phone. A month later, my wife and I drove to meet Greg and his family in person.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf (围巾). Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you?” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend?

I sit on the edge of my bed, faint smiles sliding across my face, as I sort through old photographs. I hold each memory briefly in my hands before dropping them onto the pile in my lap and searching for the next happy moment to remember. Each picture brings up feelings deep within me.
As I relive the memories, I can't help but notice one photo in particular buried deep in the box. The picture at first glance is lovely. The sun was shining with not a cloud to be seen. I was sting with my arm around a happy-looking girl, her arm rested casually on my shoulders. As I focus on the happy girl, the smile that covers my face becomes a frown. It is Amy Soule, my now ex-best friend. A terrible pang (一阵剧痛) of regret flashes through me, and I feel tightness in my throat.
Our decline in friendship began with different interests. She wanted to go to the mall and shop, while I preferred to watch old movies in my spare time. Soon the only time I saw her was when we exchanged a hurried hello in the busy school halls between classes. No more notes were passed behind the teacher's back, and my parent's phone bill became much cheaper. She found a new group of friends, and so did I. Before I had a chance to repair the friendship, she moved away, causing the crack to become an uncrossable rift.
I made excuses for not keeping in touch. It was too far to visit, too long of a drive. I knew that was not the truth, but I was too nervous to pick up the phone and call. Eventually, the rift grew too large to bridge. Amy had left and she had taken a huge chunk of my heart with her.
I stand up and pull myself back into the now. Glancing up at my calendar, I remember that Amy's birthday is around the corner. In fact, we were born in the same room, two days apart. We started so close and ended up so far. This bittersweet memory causes me to smile despite my feelings of regret.

My family used to live in London. But then a few years ago my father got transferred (调动) and we came to a small town in Scotland. Everything was new here. The neighborhood, and the school. I was not liking it much here. At this new school, nobody knew me. As I was shy, I had difficulty making friends and felt lonely all the time.
One day, when I was sitting in my seat, a girl came to me and introduced herself. It was Vivian. She smiled at me and asked if I wanted to have lunch with her. That day, we spent a great time together. Slowly, we became best friends.
In the coming month of October, it was my best friend’s birthday. I and other classmates in the school had planned a day out for her. We all decided to take her to a nearby picnic spot in the afternoon and give her a surprise party. Everybody contributed a little to the cake and snacks. After school, we took her to the picnic spot. She cut the cake and we all enjoyed the snacks. After everybody had eaten, we all decided to enjoy the boat ride.
It was a pleasant day. The lake was small but beautiful. We were all singing together and cheering up. In the clear blue water of the lake, we could see the colorful fishes swimming rapidly. There were also ducks adding to the beauty of the scene.
Everybody started clapping looking at those pretty birds. Vivian also became quite excited. Just when she was trying to touch the ducks, she lost her balance. Before anyone could do anything, she fell into the lake.

Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We learn from each other, inspire each other and both get good grades at school.
Last Monday, our math teacher Miss Smith gave us a surprise math quiz. Some of my classmates felt worried and nervous but Hanna and I were confident and gave each other an encouraging smile before we got down to doing the quiz. After the quiz while others were complaining about the “surprise” and expressing their concern about the result, I laughed loudly, “It’s so easy! I’m sure to get a good grade!” Ironically (具有讽刺意味的), on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Smith told me after class that I had the lowest grade in the class. I couldn’t believe my ears. What a shame! How could I be so stupid to fail such a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I tried my best to hide my upset and pretended to be cheerful, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom, she looked into my eyes and asked, “What happened, Sarah?” With tears welling up, I admitted how badly I had one. “Hannah, please don’t tell anyone else,” I begged in a choked voice. She hugged me, saying she would keep my secret.
However, the next day morning, I noticed that some classmates were staring at me strangely and others whispering and chuckling (暗笑) as I came into the classroom. When I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” A flush of shame and anger overwhelming me, I felt my face was burning. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!

Time was literally flying faster than you could blink. It was already dark. Poor George still scratched every inch of his head for some spark of inspiration. Their teacher had asked every student to write a composition. The title was An Unforgettable Weekend. A both interesting and boring topic.
Just as George was wrestling with his composition, there came a knock on the door. It was Eric,his father.“George, since tomorrow is Saturday, we will go and see your grandparents!“ he beamed.“Williams and Jenny? I really miss them!” George jumped with joy, dumping his pen on the desk.After all, George hadn’t been reunited with his grandparents since the outbreak of Covid- 19 in 2020.
Early next morning they began their long journey. George’s grandparents lived in a remote countryside. As Eric was driving, George couldn’t help recalling his past experience staying in his grandparents’. The memories of dusty tracks, some shabby houses and the smelly river still hurt painfully.“Dad, was your hometown beautiful when you lived there?“ George asked curiously.“You bet it! Our life wasn’t good, but the scenery was definitely like a picture,”Eric responded with noticeable pride. But what George worried about was that instead of having an unforgettable day, he would be greeted with unforgettable gray, He had been deeply scared by the smog there.
With a soft brake, the car stopped, pulling George from the edge of a sweet daydream.“Here we are! Home, sweet home!” Eric said, bouncing out, happy as a kid. Out of the car, what George saw was really unforgettable. The old and small house had been replaced by a new and big one, solid and strong. Just as George was wondering what happened, the door opened and his grandparents strode out, wearing big smiles. Approaching George, Williams gave him a tight embrace. Jenny talked eagerly with Eric. Inside the house, they provided updates on each other.
