Drawing on a New Friendship
Last Saturday, I went to the park to draw. When I finished the outline of a girl, a shadow（影子）fell across my drawing.
"That's not a bad start", said the shadow. "Do you have any finished drawings?" I looked up to see a girl about my age.
I was displeased that someone was looking at my drawing and interrupted me. "Not bad?" I asked.
"No need to be angry." The girl handed a sketchbook(素描本)to me." Want to look at my drawings?"
I felt curious and traded sketchbooks with her. Her sketches of people were okay, but I was really attracted by her drawings of nature, like trees, rocks, and rivers, all done with great detail.
"Wow！You have some talent," I said. "What's your name?"
The girl took back her sketchbook and answered, "Emma Thompson."
"I'm Alice Ruiz, "I said." You draw so well. Are you in an art class?"
Emma replied, "No. The art class is full, so I have to wait until next term. Besides, you're a talented one. I really find it difficult to draw people, but you make it look easy."
"I have a great idea！"I said." Let's draw together！You can draw the nature views on one piece of paper while I draw the people on another. Then we'll exchange and finish each other's drawings. That way, both drawings would show off both of our talents!"
"That's not a bad idea, Alice, "Emma agreed.
About an hour later, we completed our drawings. I had drawn a boy walking with his dog. Emma had added a path and some flowers. Emma had drawn a beautiful tree, and I had added a girl reading under the tree.
"This was a fun idea, "I said." Hey, Emma, would you like to meet me here again to draw together?"
"See you next Saturday, Alice, "Emma said with a smile.
