Lucy was one of my best friend at high school.

At that time, we often spend time together.

Thanks to his great help, I made much progress

of my study. Last year, she decided to study abroad.

That is to say, we would no longer see and

talk with each other for long time.

After her leaving, I prepared a gift to show my best

wishes to her. She said it was the most best gift she had

ever had. From then, we’ve kept in touch with each

other through E-mails. I look forward to see her again.

A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that costs $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
