"Long distance never separates close friends." It's easier to make new friends than to say goodbye to old ones.
When I was still studying in China, my school held a singing competition. I entered it because I really loved singing. I sang with a girl named Jenny. She's one of my best friends.
Unluckily, I was nervous and I forgot the lyrics for a moment when we were singing. I was standing on the stage, looking pale on the face. We lost the competition. I felt terribly sorry, but Jenny tried to comfort me by saying "There will be another chance".
After about a week, our school's art festival began. I decided to take part in it. The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny, although I wasn't sure if she would like to. But while I was asking other people to join me, she said she would join as well. We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival because I would leave for the UK after I finished the performance. We prepared for it for a long time.
Finally, the day of the festival arrived. As I walked into the classroom, the class started clapping (鼓掌) for me. Someone had written "Sally, Come On!" on the blackboard. My classmates gave cards to me. After I completed my performance, everyone cheered for me.
It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon. I wanted to thank Jenny, who didn't give up on me when I felt down. I wanted to thank my friends for helping me, and I really wanted to thank all of my classmates who were with me in my two middle school years as well.
