My classmate Fiona is a lovely and kind girl. She is very popular among the rest of the class. I like her not only because of her personality but also because of the help she offered to me.

    Several weeks ago, I was absent from classes because of a bad cold. She immediately came to the hospital to see me as soon as she knew I was sick. I was very weak and in dismay that day. When she walked in and saw my pale face, she touched my forehead, smiled and said to me, “Don’t worry. Everything will be OK.” Hearing her words, I felt warm and relieved.

    Since that day, she kept visiting me every day after class. In order to help me catch up with the work, she brought her class notes and taught me new lessons in the hospital. In addition, she took good care of me. She cut fruit for me and sometimes told jokes. Even though I was living in the hospital in sickness and amid other patients, I felt very relaxed because of her company. Because of her help, I soon recovered and left the hospital.

    As you might expect, she and I became good friends who can share about everything. I was really touched by her help, which I will never forget.
