A Good Lesson

After living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United

States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us For me, I hoped to be the hero of the class.

I was not disappointed. All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as “ the French guy. ” I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many things my classmates

did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched

TV, and almost never watched movies.

I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I had few friends,

and fewer good friends. When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around

me. I kept talking proudly about my experience. And I thought myself better than those around me because

I lived in Europe but they didn't.

I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again! I saw

this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.

When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years. I did not tell everyone

that I lived in Europe. I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music

to myself. Sure

enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.

Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was

well worth it.

一个教训

在欧洲生活了七年以后, 我父母决定搬到美国。 我们都盼望着搬家, 人们会怎样对待我们我希望

成为班里的英雄。

我没有失望。我的班里所有同学都羡慕我的经历,很快我以“法国男孩”著称。那一段时间我

很受欢迎, 然而我对班里同学做的许多事情都不感兴趣, 很难融入他们之中。 我喜欢听古典音乐,

从不看电视,也几乎从不看电影。

因为我生长在欧洲,所以与我的朋友们背景不同。 我没有几个朋友, 好朋友更少。 现在当我回

顾往事, 我意识到我对周围的人们有一点儿像个白痴一样, 我总是高傲地谈到我的经历, 并且我

认为我比我周围的人都好,因为我曾生活在欧洲但他们没有。

当我的父母说我们要再次搬家时, 我决定我要有更好的朋友。 我看到交好朋友的机会, 因为那

个地方的人对我的过去并不了解。

我们搬到了加利福尼亚时, 我没有像过去五年那样炫耀。 我仍然听古典音乐, 但是我只是自己

欣赏。的确,我发现人们喜欢那种独特的但不夸耀的人。

什么也不能替代好朋友,如果为此不得不控制自己的脾气和傲慢,这也是值得的。
