朋友的承諾 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.

我喜歡交朋友，因為我可以和他們交談，并向他們學習。不過可信的朋友卻不是那么容易交得到的。幸運的是，我交到了一個。他的名字叫李華。我們五歲的時候就認識了，他對我一直都很好。上個星期，李華向我借了一本書，他承諾一周后還，因為我需要那本書來完成我的家庭作業。今天是最后一天，我真的需要這本書來上交明天的作業。我給李華打了電話，但沒有人接。我肯定會因為沒有及時完成作業而受到老師的批評的。晚飯后，李華來到我家里，并歸還了這本書。他向我道歉，并解釋說，是因為他的媽媽生病了所以才晚點歸還書。我很感動，因為他信守諾言。他是一個真正的朋友。
