Essay#2 ~My treasures~










Today, I’m going to talk about my treasure. I have four main treasures.

My first treasure is a bike. Four months ago, my best friend’s father suddenly gave me his bike though, I don’t know why. After that, I ride my bike everyday to go to school, to go to work and so on. I went to Miyazaki by bike by highway. Now, my bike is necessity. It may not be a treasure if I just bought it. However, the person who gave me the bike is my best friend’s father. So, it’s my treasure.

The second treasure is photos. I like looking at photos, because I can feel some change in seeing the photos. Changing is important. I think good memories and the past can be a treasure. And photos can keep it. So, I think photos can also be a treasure. I want to take a good scene. That’s why I always take my digital camera to every place I go. And I get good new treasures.

My third treasure is my studying abroad experience. This is not realized yet. But I think this experience will be the best treasure for me. I’m really looking forward to this day. I want to grow up through such a grateful experience. Experiencing is a treasure.

My final treasure are my friends. My friends are always helping and supporting me when I feel down. There are many good friends and awesome people around me. They are my treasure. The reason why I am here right now is due to all of them. So, I never want to lose them. I’m proud of meeting my best friends.
