On opposite side, the grocery stores don’t provide lower prices. They always sell on the original prices. Thus, many cunning housekeeper would prefer go to the supermarkets instead of the grocery stores.

classification draft 2

Classification-draft 2
Whenever we are in schools or in the work places, we meet different kinds of friends. They may be divided into three kinds of friends, childhood friends, friends from school, and friends from work.
The first type of friends are childhood friends. You may have known them since you were a kid. You played and grew up with them together. They may know about you the most. I remember when I was in the kindergarten we lived in Tainan City, and there was an extended family next to my home. Three of the children were about the same age as I; Hence, we always played together. Sometimes they forgot the time because they stayed and played with me, and their parents always hit them harsly. It was a very happy childhood, and I am so glad to meet them in my life. Although I moved to Tainan County for many years, but I still remember them and the time we used to get together.The second kind of friends are from school. In our school life, friendship is an important part. You study together or even have the same dreams. Just like my own experience. When I was in the junior high school, I have a best friend, and we had the same dream. Both of us loved English and foreign cultures. We always listened to English songs and watched English movies. We had made a deal that we would learn English well then abroad together when we grow up. Had been graduate so many years, we have not stayed in touch for a long time. But in the second day when I just studied in Naitai, I saw her. It really shocked me that she and I also studies at the same school. That day we talked for a long time. She also majors in English, and she said she never forgets the deal we made. Therefore, I will study harder and make our dream come true.
The third type of friends are from work. In our career, we often can meet different people from different places. Some of them will close to you, and the most excited thing you always do together might be speak ill or gossip behind your boss. I was an assistant teacher in an English cram school. I had good relationship with some co-workers, and the most common thing we did was gossip which was the most delight thing during the bored working time. Today, some of they are still in that cram school, and they still repeat the same work everyday. Therefore, I can make sure they will continue to gossip or speak ill behind our boss until they leave. In each stage of life, friends always can accompany us. Good friends can bring you a lot of happiness, but bad friends may hurt you. Thus, choosing friends carefully is a life time lesson for everyone.
