Good Bye~

When I was level 4, 6 months ago, I met Moe, who is from Saudi. At the first time, I got little scared because he was a big person, taller than me, having a long hair, and always with a big head set. One day, he asked me to grab a bite, so I followed him carefully. I screwed up my courage to say, “Your hair is long. I mean… it’s nice” He said “I like Bob Marley. That’s why I raise my hair just to be like him” Ooh! I was surprised because I like Bob Marley too! I told him that fact, and just then he put his head set on me. I was surprised again because it was too loud, but I couldn’t refuse it because I was still frightened. In class, he always made jokes. At that time I couldn’t help laughing because of him. Whatever he said was hilarious, so I usually tried to talk to him, and then, we became friends, so we had dinners, went his house, and sometimes played video game. After knowing his friends, I tried to introduce him to my friends, but they usually seemed to get scared. I, therefore, couldn’t have time to hang out with him a lot. Moreover, we were in different class and so busy to do own homework. We didn’t even talk many times. A few months, however, had passed; we became classmates again, so we became more familiar. We even decided to find rooms to live with friends even though it was thrown up because of money. Anyway, we had had busy days because of homework. One day, when I was doing my homework, he called me and said that he would go back to Saudi, so he invited his last party. I couldn’t say anything. I felt sad. I regretted that I hadn’t had enough time with him. Last Friday, I went to his house to have a party. At that time I drank a lot, played game, and listened reggae music with his friends. As time went by, he felt sleepy; furthermore, he had to fly in an airplane after 5 hours. I hugged him, and said good bye and see you again.
He is such a nice guy. He tries to understand other people’s feeling and situations; also, he knows how to praise people and how to make people laugh. Moreover, I learned many things. First, my speaking is much better than before. Every teacher who taught me said my English is a weakness skill before meeting him, but now my writing is the worst skill. :D Also, I don’t judge people by their appearance anymore. He is bigger than me, so actually, I was afraid of talking with him, but now he is my friend. He told me that he could come to Canada again, if he got a scholarship from Saudi. However, even if he couldn’t come to Canada again, it would be ok because we have good memories and share it, so whenever I miss him, I can think about it. I guess he would do that too, but I miss him and hope to see him again.

Certainly, one of the best ways to help yourself learn a new language is to make some real friends who don't speak your native language! At the same time, of course, you will have to learn a bit about people you may never have expected to meet. It sounds like you have had a good experience.

There will be lots of new friends to make in the future, I'm sure! especially if you keep learning . . .
