朋友的承诺 The Promise of a Friend
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 since we were five years old, and he is nice to me all the time. Last week, I lent a book to Li Hua and he promised to return 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 criticized by my teacher for not finishing homework in time. After dinner, Li Hua came to my house and returned the book. He apologized and explained that his mother was sick. I was so moved for he kept his promise. He was a real 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。
