My Best Friend in
the US
My best friend is a girl that I met on
Orientation day. The girl's name is Florance who is friendly, and has a good
heart. I remember the first time I met her, she was just a new
student to the US, and I was an ambassador - International Program in
school. My works were to help new students to answer their some questions about
campus or show them some interesting place in Seattle. Although, that was
her first time to the US, but her English was very good, and better than me.
She asked me a lot of interesting questions. While I talked with her, I learned
that she had moved from Vancouver. She had studied in Vancouver for one
year that why her English was very good :). She came from Indonesia, she could
speak Chinese, she had boyfriend :) and she loved animals very much. We began
exchanging interesting things that we had learned and experienced while away
family. Since then, we always met at the library to study and hung out on every
weekend. We didn't study same classes, because her score on compass test was
very high, so she studied in College classes. When I studied with her
in library, she realized that I couldn't write good paragraphs in
English. She frequently asked me to read her final essays and lent me an
essay book to practice my English. In addition, we often hung out every weekend
to talk about the recent news. That was the way she wanted me to practice
more about my pronunciation, because she also realized that I have some words
to mispronounce. We had had so many memories in a short time together. Now
she is studying in North Seattle Community College. I was very sad when she
moved over there, because South Seattle Community College didn't have some
classes she wanted to take. But we still keep in touch through phone but not as
frequently as before. Sometimes I visit her on weekend, because I and she were
busy for study in school, maybe long distance. In fact, I have never met a
friendly girl like her in US. I miss you, my best friend.
