My dad's friends are neighbors who helphim withthe work like building shelves and planting trees.
Steve, our monitor,is my bestfriend We go skating, play football,talk about sports,and go to a concert.When I broke my leg,healways came over to play games;in school, he carried my schoolbag forme and got my lunch for me. I knowI can always count onhim, and he alsoknowsthat he can count on me.
Some friends may be inyour life for a while.Others will be there for a long time, maybe evenforever(永远). I would hate to move, unless I could take my friends withme They are too importantto leave behind.

朋友
对于不同的人(people)，朋友(friend)意味着不同的(different)内容。对于我的小妹妹(little sister)来说，朋友是喜欢(like)游泳和骑自行车(ride bikes)的某个人(someone)。我妈妈的想法(idea)是朋友像(like)史密斯夫人一样可以每天早上陪她散步(walk)并交谈(talk)。我爸爸的朋友是帮他搭建架子(buildshelves)、种树(planttrees)或做其他活的邻居们(neighbors)。
我们的班长(monitor)史蒂夫是我最好的(best)朋友。我们去滑冰(goskating)、踢足球(play football)、谈论体育(talk about sports)、去听音乐会(go to a concert)。我摔断腿(leg)时，他就来我家玩游戏(game)；在学校，他替我拿书包(schoolbag)，并帮我打午饭。我知道我总能依靠(count on)他，他也知道他能依靠我。
有些(some)朋友可能(may)只在你的一生中停留一会儿(fora while)。另一些(others)则很长一段时间(fora long time)和你做朋友，甚至有可能(maybe)是终生的朋友。我憎恨(hate)搬家(move)，除非(unless)我可以把朋友也带走。他们对我来说太重要了(tooimportant)，我无法把他们留下(leavebehind)。

这人回家后便开始测试他妻子的听力。他站在墙的旁边(by the wall)说，“亲爱的(dear)，晚饭(dinner)吃什么？”他没听到回答，于是又朝妻子走近了些。“亲爱的，晚饭吃什么？”仍然(still)没有回答。他如此反复了几次(several times)．直到他离妻子只有几英尺(a few feet)的地方。
