第一段英语提示：A couple of \keep in touch with \come up \neighbo

It is not easy to keep in touch with a couple of friends that are far away. To me, that is exactly the case. I have been away from my old neighborhood as well as my friends there for a few years now. I have always planned to write to them. But something always comes up when I try to do so. Now you can say I have kind of lost touch with them. But they are always on my mind. I think I will try to keep up my correspondence with them in the future.

Tony decided to start his own business after he graduated from college/university. At first, many banks turned down his application for a loan. But he didn't give up and kept calling on different bankers one by one to ask for help. Eventually one banker was touched by his determination as well as his optimistic spirit and decided to give him the loan. And now Toney is a rich businessman. When talking about his amazing achievements, Tony put emphasis on the importance of creating a miracle rather than waiting for it to happen.
