As we all know, it is difficult to start a friendship but it is even more difficult to keep one. Recently I’ve understood it better for I experienced both the pain of the potential of losing a close friend and the joy of regaining one.
In primary school, I was just an ordinary student, shy and a little awkward. However, Jenny was outgoing, confident and helpful, which made her popular among classmates. One day, when I felt upset for failure in an important Maths test, Jenny came to my aid, cheering me up, and we talked a lot. Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she has been like a sister to me. Up to now, we have been good friends for eight years. We’re always together, walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out on weekends. Everyone will feel surprised if we’re not seen playing together. But last Saturday, what she did really made me feel heartbroken.
We intended to see a new film at the cinema that day, but in the morning she called me, saying she had a bad cold and wanted to rest at home instead of going out for a film. “Never mind, ”I told her. "We can watch the film when you’re better. ”
However, a horrible surprise hit me on the next Monday. A classmate told me she had seen Jenny chatting with another girl in a cafe on Saturday afternoon. Why did she cheat me?I exploded with anger and ignored her during school all day, without responding to her online messages. Actually, this stressful situation made me confused and sleepless in the night.

Jenny and James were ten-year-old twins. It was their mother’s birthday on the coming Saturday and the twins wanted to give her a surprise. What could they do? Baking (烘烤) a cake seemed quite impossible.
Jenny was sitting on the stairs, wondering how she could make her mother’s day special when James came running in and said to Jenny, “Hey Jen! Mummy is inviting her friends. I think she intends to give a party!”
“It means we have to do something great so Mum can feel really happy when we surprise her in front of all her guests,” replied Jenny. “We must bake a cake for her!”
The twins were making serious plans for the birthday party. They organized the seating plan, prepared the menu, bought the ingredients (原料) for the cake and decorated the dining hall.
On the big day, they woke up very early in the morning, wished their mother a happy birthday and asked her to watch TV or read some magazines.
“We will take care of everything,” said James.
“Yes,” said Jenny. “Don’t worry about the party. We have everything under control.”
Then the twins headed for the kitchen. They were baking a chocolate cake. Both of them worked fast.
Soon, people started arriving and gave gifts to the twins’ mother. The guests and the hosts chatted for a while and then everyone went to the dining hall for the cake-cutting ceremony. The cake was very beautiful and looked delicious. James and Jenny placed it on the table and handed Mother the knife. She blew out the candles, cut the cake and everyone sang the birthday song.
