1. Recounting a poignant childhood memory with a friend, sample 1:

I have a friend I've known since childhood named Phuong. We grew up together, played, studied, and shared countless childhood memories. One memory with Phuong that I'll never forget is the time I fell off my bike.

I still remember when we were just third-grade students. Phuong and I lived close to each other, so we often walked to school together. That day, like any other day, Phuong came to my house and invited me to go to school. We were chatting happily as we walked. Suddenly, a reckless motorbike sped past us, swerving dangerously. Despite moving closer to the sidewalk to avoid it, the bike still collided with mine, causing me to lose control, stumble, and fall onto the road. The bike sped off without even a glance back. I was both hurt and angry. Phuong quickly rushed to my side, helped me onto the sidewalk, and lifted my bike. He showed great concern, dusted off my clothes, and carefully checked if I was injured. Seeing my pain, he left the bike at a nearby house and escorted me to school. On the way, he kept asking, 'Are you hurt badly?' and insisted on taking me to the infirmary. Phuong's caring attitude deeply moved me. He knew how to comfort and care for others, willing to sacrifice for his friend. I silently thanked him for being such a good friend.

Each time I recall that memory, I feel that Phuong is a truly rare friend. That memory helped me understand more about my friend, teaching me to cherish and maintain our beautiful friendship.

Everyone experiences childhood - a time when we are innocent children, indulging in various playful activities, mischief, and unforgettable memories. Memories with a childhood friend of mine are particularly touching, even though many years have passed, I still remember them vividly.

When I was young, I was close friends with 4 people: Trang, Thao, Nhi, and Yen. Once, we decided to ride our bikes to the park as it was only about 3km from my house. We had a great time playing, but when it was time to leave, I realized I had lost my keychain with the house keys. I was terrified and worried. My friends were also concerned as it was getting dark, and they needed to get home before their parents worried. Knowing this, I asked them to go home first while I stayed back to search for the keys. They all agreed except for Trang, who insisted on staying to help me find the keys. I was surprised and worried that Trang would get scolded by her parents, but she reassured me, saying, 'Don't worry, my parents won't scold me when they find out I helped a friend!' So, Trang and I retraced our steps to search. Eventually, Trang found the keys. We hugged each other with joy and went home together. On the way back, I thanked Trang profusely. Without Trang, I wouldn't know how long I would have had to search.

I realized a true friend is someone who is always there for you and helps you, and Trang is such a friend. There are many more memories with Trang, but this is the first memorable memory in our friendship.

Bao An has been my close friend since kindergarten. Although my mom says we've been inseparable since first grade, I only remember our memories from third grade. The most memorable memory then was when I fell seriously ill and had to go to the hospital.

That day was a Monday when I got sick. The doctor said I had dengue fever and needed to be hospitalized for observation. I felt feverish, hot, and exhausted. My mom asked my teacher to let me take a week off from school for treatment. I lay on the hospital bed, feeling tired, in pain, and sad, not being able to go to school and be with my friends made me even sadder; I just wanted to recover quickly to go back to school and meet my friends. While I was thinking, suddenly I saw my mom bringing Bao An's mom and Bao An to visit me. I was so surprised and touched that tears welled up in my eyes. Bao An's mom said, 'Bao An knew you were seriously ill, so she asked me to take her to visit you; she insisted on visiting you as soon as she came home from school.' I looked at Bao An, my dear friend, with admiration; her bright smile made me feel happy and hopeful. Bao An even brought me a teddy bear to keep me company and told me, 'You must rest and recover quickly so you can come back to school with me. I feel sad going to school alone!' I took Bao An's words as motivation to try my best to rest and recover. Her care and concern made me feel the warmth and kindness of a true friend.

Until now, Bao An and I have always been close friends, like a pair of 'twins,' always there for each other, no matter where or when. We have become each other's best friends and will always be so.
