Sample Answer
Yesterday, when walking to school, I came across a pregnant woman. She was holding a baby and carrying a lot of plastic bags containing fruit and vegetables. Those bags seemed to be heavy, which made it difficult for her to hold her child. So, I quickly walked up to her and offered to help her by carrying all of the bags.
At first, she was quite suspicious about my sudden appearance. Well, it is understandable to be cautious with strangers. If I were her, I would do the same. But then, she recognized the school uniform I was wearing. Therefore, she thanked me in advance and gave me all of her plastic bags, and I carried them to her house. When we arrived, she offered me a cup of tea and even invited me to stay for lunch, but I politely declined as I had to go back to school. Otherwise, I would have been late for classes.
To my mind, doing a good deed makes me feel more comfortable and optimistic about everything, so I hope that everyone will help each other regularly for the sake of our mutual wellbeing.
