This is a song. Millions of Americans will hear this song on New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊天长地久》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration.

Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends. The words “Auld Lang Syne” means “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version (版本) by Scottish poet Robert Burns came out in 1796. The words and music we know today first appeared (出现) in a songbook three years later.

The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year’s Eve. The version you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet. As we end our programme with Auld Lang Syne, I would like to wish all of our radio friends a very Happy New Year! This is Buddy Thomas. Thanks for listening.

This is my story. It is the beginning of the second semester and a new year in eighth grade. I was over at my best friend Christina’s house. Yet again, she was listening to her favorite CD-Dream Street. When I got to her room she turned down her music and we talked about it. She said that she was the best DS fan ever. I said they’re OK and I like the music. Then she went on to say that I wasn’t a “true” fan, so I left her house and walked home. The next day I found a note in my locker(衣物柜). It was from Christina. It said, “I do not consider you as one of my friends. You are a liar.”

After that dreadful day it got worse. I didn’t smile, or even talk to my other friends. I completely shut myself off from the world. I just didn’t understand what went wrong. Finally after a few days, some of my friends got together and came to me. They tried their best to comfort me and make me smile.

The time that I realized something very important was that night. After several sleepless nights, I suddenly realized that I was loved, and I had other friends, I could get over it. Quickly, I turned on my light and started writing a letter to each of my friends. I wrote about the good times and how much I cared about them. I told what was happening to me, why I was so upset, and I thanked each of them for helping me. The next day I gave my friends the letters. When they finished reading them, they thanked me and gave me a big hug. I realized that I needed to be strong and how friends could help with your problems and help you heal.
