(Paper2-Section C)
Yesterday, Dick and Scott were walking home
from school. Both of them lived nearby. It was a
very hot day. So, they decided to go swimming at
the river nearby.
Suddenly, they saw Elna falling from her
bicycle. They quickly ran towards her. Her left
knee was injured. However, she did not cry.
Unfortunately, the tyre was punctured. Paul helped
to push the bicycle while Scott carried her bag.

The moment they arrived at Elna’s house, her


mother cried. Dick told her about the incident.
Her mother thanked them and invited them for
lunch. They were glad to help Elna although they
could not go swimming that afternoon.
From this story, I learnt to be helpful just
like Dick and Scott.
