A Get-Together

Three years have passed since I became a college student. I haven't seen many of my classmates after we parted when the college entrance examination1 was over. So we decided2 to have a get-together3 party this summer vacation.

As you can imagine, I could hardly wait to have the day for our reunion. After several months' waiting, 25 of my former high school classmates and 3 of our teachers were crowded in a small restaurant near our high school. We were more than happy to meet with each other again. Our former Chinese teacher was so excited that he even choked（窒息） to say some words. With gratitude4, we thanked our teachers for their hard work; with great joy, we exchanged the happy things happening in each of our present colleges; We talked and talked before someone shouted. Oh, it was 11:30 now. But no one would be the first to say good bye to others.

I shall always bear this unforgettable get-together in my mind. With time passing, I believe I will meet many new friends, but I think the friendship among high school classmates will be the purest and will be the most valuable thing to cherish5.
