liu hua is my best friend. she is less tall than i, but of stronger constitution. she looks more like a boy than a girl and is strong willed. at college, we spent a lot of time together reading, talking,singing and laughing. whenever we were together we feel happy and carefree.

　　we have much in common regarding ow education, background, interests and hobbies. we often help each other andlearn from each other. once,when she was in the hospital for an operation on her appendix, i took care of her in every way possible, which made xiang song (the young teacher who shared the ward with her) envy our friendship. when i was preparing for put graduate exams, she did the cooking and urged others to help me. after graduation we parted. she went to argentine. i was still in ustc. we promised to meet in the united states. so we both worked hard at our lessons.

　　true friendship lasts a long time. hard work is rewarding and three years later, we me again. true to our word, we met at the place where we promised to see each other the united states of america. i received an asslstantship in ncsu and she earned enough money in argentine to support herself and work her way' through college.

　　刘华是我最好的朋友。她个子没我高。但比我结实。她的样子看上去与其说是女孩不如说是男孩，她意志坚强。在大学，我们一起度过了许多时光，在一起看书、谈天、欢笑。

　　我们在所受的教育、家庭背景、兴趣、爱好等方面有很多共同之处。我们经常互相学习、互相帮助。有一次，她住院开阑尾，我想方设法照顾她。这使项松(同病房的年轻女教师)羡慕我们的友谊。当我准备考研究生时，她做饭，并敦促别人帮助我。毕业后，我们分手了。她去了阿根廷，我仍在中国科技大学。我们曾相约在美国相见，因此我们都在发奋读书。

　　真正的友谊地久天长。艰苦奋斗是值得的，三年后我们又相遇了。我们如愿以偿地相会在彼此相约的地方美国。我获得北卡州立大学的助教金，而她在阿根廷挣了足够钱供自己到美国来读书。
