A Regretful Thing
In the past three years, the life of middle school has impressed me deeply. Many stories happened. The following is one of them.
Xiao Ming was one of my good friends. One day, a little thing caused a serious quarrel between us. From then on, we didn’t talk to each other. I had hoped to make peace with him but I finally failed to do that because of my being afraid of losing face. Not until he moved to another city with his parents did I know I lost my friend forever.
The lesson I learned from this is that if you realize your mistakes, you should correct them at once, or you may leave yourself lasting regrets.
三、优秀范文（翻译）
一件后悔的事
过去三年的初中生活，发生了许许多多的故事，给我留下了深刻的印象，下面这件事就是其中的一件。
小明是我的一位好朋友。有一天，因为一件很小的事情，我们发生了争吵。从那以后，我们彼此都不再说话。我曾想过和他重归于好，但是碍于情面最终还是不了了之。直到他和他的父母搬去另外一个城市，我才意识到我永远地失去了一个好朋友。
从这件事情中，我懂得了一个道理：如果你认识到了自己的错误，就应当马上改正过来，否则你可能会永远活在后悔当中。
