subject: Look Back While Advancing [print this page] Kun was my classmate in university, she was also the genius of English department. When I was struggling for CET4, she had got TEM8. After graduation, Kun was hired by a foreign trade company because of her excellent English. She got to be friends with many foreigners which made us so envious. The foreigners always presented her tiffany earringsas gifts.
Three years later, she left the company. She told me that it was too exhausted for her to learn much knowledge while working. With the help of family, she became an English teacher in an elementary school. The salary was much less, but she could afford the tiffany jewelry.
Last week, a newspaper officer required me to translate a passage of essay. And the translation need to be perfect, but I could not be competent at it. Without other ways, I had to ask for help from Kun. She refused me at first, telling me that her English was poor. I did not believe her, she admitted at the end. I was shocked while getting the finished essay. The words, sentences and structures were not graceful, her English was even worse than me. But I bought a tiffany jewelry sale for her as my thanks for her help.
I knew another friend who was a writer. He devoted all his energy to writing, at last, he was hired as a editor by a magazine office. But in the following years, I seldom saw his passages were excellent. He said he did not want to write passages after the life was stabilized.
