I like to make friends, because I can talk to them and learn from them. But the trustful friends are not easy to make. Luckily, I have one. His name is Li Hua. We knew each other since¹ we were five years old, and he is nice to me all the time. Last week, I lent² a book to Li Hua and he promised⁴ to return⁵ in a week, because I needed that book to finish my homework. Today was the last day and I really needed that book to hand in my hometwork tomorrow. I called Li Hua, but there was no one answered. I must be criticized⁷ by my teacher for not finishing homework in time. After dinner, Li Hua came⁸ to my house and returned⁹ the book. He apologized¹⁰ and explained¹¹ that his mother was sick. I was so moved for he kept his promise³. He was a real⁶ friend.

我喜欢交朋友，因为我可以和他们交谈，并向他们学习。不过可信的朋友却不是那么容易交得到的。幸运的是，我交到了一个。他的名字叫李华。我们五岁的时候就认识了，他对我一直都很好。上个星期，李华向我借了一本书，他承诺一周后还，因为我需要那本书来完成我的家庭作业。今天是最后一天，我真的需要这本书来上交明天的作业。我给李华打了电话，但没有人接。我肯定会因为没有及时完成作业而受到老师的批评的。晚饭后，李华来到我家里，并归还了这本书。他向我道歉，并解释说，是因为他的妈妈生病了所以才晚点归还书。我很感动，因为他信守诺言。他是一个真正的朋友。
