The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even seem like theperson.
When I first knew Bill, back in, he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑的) people I had ever. He was always ready to have a. He usually went out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or drove 50 miles to see an oldhe really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, andwas never dull when he was. With him there was one wildafter another. Sometimes I wonder how weto study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business, and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel., I wasn’t evenit was he. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. Hemost of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, thething Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main. Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I neverBill changing so much. My image of himthe one I had formedthe time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’sto expect people to remain the same, especiallyI have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe hethe same way about me.
