读写任务

One possible version:

The passage is mainly about how Xin Hui helped an old lady. To show their gratitude, the old lady’s son wrote a thank-you letter to Xin Hui’s college.

After reading the story, I begin to admire the most beautiful young man. What he did shows he is warm-hearted and brave, and we should learn from him.

Xin Hui’s story reminds me of a similar case I experienced last year. One Sunday, on the way to the cinema, Mike and I saw an old man lying on the ground and heard people saying, “Poor old man, he must be seriously sick.” But no one did anything. “It’s none of our business. Let’s go!” I said. Ignoring my words, Mike took out his cell phone, dialed 120 and cared the old man until the medical personnel arrived. “It is true that in recent years some people are afraid of being seen as trouble makers and getting involved in trouble, which makes them keep a distance, but I still think one good turn deserves another,” Mike said.

I felt ashamed of myself, so after that I think it’s our responsibility to help the old for we Chinese have fine traditions of helping those in trouble. Additionally, only if everyone does a little for others will the world become a better place.
