Crystal, one of my classmates, came into my class last year.Honestly, she was unfavorably impressed (给……留下印象) on me in the beginning.She was short and had fairly dark skin.She was just sitting in front of me.She didn’t say much, and yet I almost always saw smiles on her face every day.I hardly spoke to her for about one week since she joined us.Anyone else in my class didn’t, either, but it seemed that she never paid attention to this.She always smiled at everyone.

One day, we all studied overtime.“It is raining again! What a day!” someone complained (抱怨).Turning around, she said, “Do you have an umbrella, Jenny?” “No,” I answered.Then she was out of the classroom.After a while, I saw her entering the classroom with an umbrella in her hand.She walked up to me.“Here you are! And the rain is heavy now.You’d better wait a second, otherwise you’ll get drenched to the skin,” she said and gave her face a wipe .I stood up beside the desk and couldn’t say anything at that moment.I was very uneasy.“Th-th-thank you,” I said after some minutes.She gave me a bright smile.

After that, she has been my little sister.She is good at English, though her pronunciation is not very good.But I learn her strong points to make up my weaknesses.We have become good friends.
