When my best friend went abroad, he sent me a book as a gift, which always reminded me of him (定语从句). Unfortunately, my book was gone after I came back from the school playground.
You can‘t imagine how regretful I was to take the book there (宾语从句). I had planned to take it back after I played basketball. I searched everywhere for it, but without result. I sat in the classroom, feeling sad and wondering how I could do to get my lost book back (现在分词作伴随状语). Just at that moment, a boy in the next class came to me. When he was approaching me, I found there was something in his hand that I was familiar with. It was just my book. He told me he found the book when he took exercise on the playground and learned that it belonged to me. No one could tell how important it was to me (宾语从句)．
I appreciate his kindness and consideration so much. I will learn from him and be a person who is always ready to help others.
