A篇

A few years ago when my daughter was about two years old, I went through a difficult time. My marriage was in trouble, I was pregnant (怀孕的) and not particularly well and I didn’t have much money. Looking back I think I was also a bit depressed, but I had to get on with taking care of my daughter the best I could.

One day I thought I would take my daughter to the park for a nice day as she liked there, and I thought it was a nice thing to do. I decided to walk because the bus was expensive, so it took us a long time to get there. When we finally got there, immediately my daughter began to cry. She was cold, she was thirsty, and she wanted to go home. To be honest, I had not prepared properly. I didn’t even have any money to buy a drink or to take the bus back home. I was so frustrated and cross with myself that my dream of a nice day failed. I started walking back home (it was nearly 2 miles), and my daughter would not stop crying. I felt so miserable and cross with(生…的气)myself and my life that I started crying too.

At that point a car stopped and a gentleman offered us a lift. He took us home, and seemed really concerned-he even offered me all his change! The kindness of this stranger to a stranger like me really made me feel better. I never saw him again and I don‘t know who he is but he really helped me out that day, so I just want to say thank you.
