     Be grateful for friends
     It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.
     It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since
Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why can't I do so, either?
     I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list
to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.
     We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my Senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last
letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply
his mail then. When I won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where
to write him.
     I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I
found out excitedly that he is still in China.
     Without a moment of hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home number was still there.
     After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised
than I could imagine that when I asked for his home number he was too nervous to remember it.
      Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their
own ways to their dreams. They look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such
moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends
in the same direction, with whom I won't feel alone any more.

One possible version:
                                                    Be grateful for our parents
     The writer tells us a story that he had an experience of recalling his old friend Michael suddenly, and
  such moment  made him feel grateful to life and didn't feel lonely.
     This story reminds me of a similar experience of forgetting my mother's birthday.
     On the evening of last Saturday, I was watching TV attentively while my mother was busy preparing
for dinner in the kitchen. It was not until a friend of my mother's, who called to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to my mother that I remembered it was her birthday. I got deeply shocked and ashamed.
     It is not easy for parents to bring us up. It's never too late to realize this and show our love and care
for them. We really should express our endless thanks to our parents. And my classmates share my
opinion. To sum up, we should be grateful for our parents because of their greatest love and unselfish care.
