（新年晚会）
新年就要到了，今天我的中文学校有一个新年晚会，很多学生都去了。我最好的朋友钟小晴要在晚会上唱一首中文歌，我要去听她唱歌。
晚会就在学校大教室，我去的时候里面已经有几十个人了，很多都是近年来的新学生。我是老学生了，这是我第三次去看学校的新年晚会。
晚会就要开始了，我找了个地方坐着。这时候，我看见钟小晴进来了。她走向我，说：“小周！新年好！”我说：“新年好！我旁边没人，你要坐这儿吗，还是坐前面？”她说：“我就在这儿坐吧！离我唱歌还早呢！我现在还不用准备！”
小晴进来五分钟以后，晚会开始了，几个女老师跳了一个舞，几个男老师唱了一首歌，还有几个中文班的学生也一起唱了一首歌。他们唱了以后，就是小晴。
她唱歌唱得真好听！唱了以后小晴又到我旁边坐着，和我一起看晚会。看了以后我们一起回了学校宿舍。明年新年晚会的时候我想再来看一次，明年可能我也会在晚会上唱一首中文歌。
