中ちゅう学がく3年ねん生せいのぼくはもうすぐ卒そつ業ぎょうです。1、2年ねん生せいの時ときに学校がっこうに行いかずに休やすんでばかりいました。でも、たくさんの友とも達だちが心しん配ぱいして家いえに来きてくれました。その助たすけもあり、3年ねんになってからはあまり休やすまずに毎まい日にち学校がっこうに通かようようになりました。

1、2年ねん生せいの勉べん強きょうが分わからなかった時ときに、「いっしょに勉べん強きょうしよう」と言いってくれた友とも達だちもいました。おかげで、これからの仕し事ごとのことも決きまりました。もう卒そつ業ぎょうまで残のこりが少すくないですが、最さい後ごまで中学校ちゅうがっこうの生せい活かつを楽たのしみたいと思おもいます。
