#话题分析

这道题的要求相当宽泛，可说的内容有很多。毕竟谁日常生活中还没有个帮助朋友的经历呢！我们可以聊聊生活中的一些事情，比如帮助他们搬家，给朋友借钱，给朋友送伞等等。甚至我们也可以走不同寻常路，比如朋友上厕所忘带纸，或者帮忙递情书，陪朋友去相亲等。

When it was

第 一小问是什么时候的事情，表达整个故事的背景，是你的哪一位朋友，他遇到了什么问题等等。

How you helped him/her

第二小问你怎么帮助的他，这一问就是详细的描述你帮助他的过程，时间是他求助你之后立刻还是几天后，地点在哪里，包括过程细节你是通过什么方式帮助了他。

Why you helped him/her

这一问是为什么帮助他，理由可以是一：你们的关系好，感情很好；二：你们认识时间很长了，希望可以为他做些力所能及的事情；三：他曾经帮助过你，你一直心存感激，原因有多种多样，可以根据你自己的情况来详细描述。

And how you felt about it

最后一小问是你感觉怎么样，你可以结合第三小问，如果是他帮助过我，所以我感觉如释重负，也可以说我感觉很快乐，因为赠人玫瑰手留余香。

True friendship fills your life with joy. It thrives primarily on love and support provided by friends to each other. Although I have provided support to my friends many times, one instance is worth sharing.

Last month due to the corona pandemic, my city was in a state of lockdown. During that time, my friend Andrew needed my help as he was unwell. Although the administration banned stepping out of homes, I managed to help my friend.

Andrew is my bosom friend and my next-door neighbour too. He had called me and told me that he is having severe pain in his throat coupled with a high fever. Immediately I had gone to his home and picked him to take him to the nearby hospital. Since his symptoms were of Corona disease, I wore a PPE Kit to protect myself. When we had stepped out of our society in the car, the local police stopped us. Despite repeated requests, The concerned policeman was not allowing us to go further. My friend’s health condition was deteriorating. I immediately send a message to the Commissioner of police on his Twitter handle. I explained the whole scenario in the message. After 10 minutes, I received a permission letter on my phone. We reached the hospital. The doctor gave him treatment. Upon reaching home, we both quarantined ourselves. After 2-3 days, Andrew recovered. Moreover, the report of the corona test for both of us turned out to be negative. We both had a sigh of relief.

I helped him because I believe helping each other in tough times is our bounden duty. When Andrew had recovered, I felt like I did a great job by taking the risk of going out during lockdown to help my friend.

P3 帮助朋友

     # How do people usually help each other?

People usually help each other by providing support to each other during happy as well as tough times. The support could be either monetary or non-monetary. Like providing money, goods or services to your near and dear ones in case of a requirement.

      # How is online help different from real-life help?

In this era of digitalisation, there is not much of a difference between online and real-life help. Because in case you want to offer your services personally by going to the person’s place then real-life help is the only option. Otherwise, the benefits served from both options are more or less the same.

     # Should schools be responsible for teaching students how to cooperate?

I think, the onus of teaching the students how to cooperate should be on the schools, parents and society. Because students spend around eight hours in the school, rest of the time they spend with their family or in the company of their near and dear ones.

     # What are the differences between help from friends and help from family?

The help from family is more prompt and regular because our family is emotionally attached to us. Whereas, help from friends is also available in case of a need, but that is not as speedy as help from the family.
