Judy is my friend. She is two years older than me. We go to the same school but we are not in the same class. We are like peas and carrots as we do lots of things together. We go to school together; We hang out together; And we even stayed overnight at each other’s house once a week.
Last night, Judy and I talked for a long time about her worries. She told me she was a little bit nervous these days because she would take an important exam in about seven days. She and her classmates were all busy with their classes and schoolwork every day. But she was very afraid of the exam although she worked really hard. She said sometimes she felt it’s like a big, black cloud hanging over her head. She was so worried about the exam that she could hardly breathe(呼吸).
Judy also told me whenever it took her a long time to work out a problem, she would become crazy. And whenever she didn’t do well in exams, she couldn’t help (忍不住) crying. Hearing her words, I totally understood how she felt. But I said to her: “Though our school life is busy, it is also very colorful. It’s best not to run away from problems. We should always try to solve them. And we should always face the trouble and difficulties with a big smile. Tomorrow is another day!”
After the long talk, she said that I was so kind to help her out and talking to me is like sharing her problem. She felt she was half way to solving her problem just by talking to me.
