Dear friends, Today we are having a party in honor of our close friend , Tom, who is returning to his own country with his parents. How time flies! It has been one years since he came to our school. During this period, we have helped each other, thus having become good friends. What's more, due to his help and encouragement, many of us have become more interested in English and have made great progress in it. We all hope that when he returns to his homeland, he will get in touch with us as often as possible. We also hope that he will come to China again some day. Good luck, Tom. And good luck to your family. May you have a pleasant trip home! Thank you. (125 words)
