Polished transcript:

Male Female

Well, the person I’d like to mention is my friend from primary school. We were in the same class and we were very close. One day, her parents decided to move her to an international school because they believed it offered a better quality of education. At that time, we were too young to have phones, so we had to contact each other through our parents' phones, which was very inconvenient. So we began to move on, make new friends, and lost touch. Thankfully, one day upon my graduation from university, I got accepted by an auditing firm and had a chance to meet her there. It was a coincidence that we were both in the same industry, so we had a lot of things in common to discuss. We began to talk with each other more and more, not only about work but also about our personal lives. We became close friends again. I am so grateful that I had the chance to meet her again. I have to say that this friendship holds a very special place in my heart. I realized how much I missed her.
