H=Host K=Kevin
H: Hello and welcome to the Rush Hour Show, the radio show for your way home. Our guest today is Kevin Miller, with the Pay It Forward Foundation. Welcome, Kevin, so what is “paying it forward”
K: Hi, there. So “paying it forward” means that if you receive kindness from someone, you don't try to pay them back. Instead, you go out and show kindness to someone else.
H: Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how it works
K: Well, I'm sure you've heard the famous country song, “The Chain of Love”. The song starts with a man who helps a lady whose car has broken down. The lady wants to pay him, but he won't accept payment, instead telling the woman to just show kindness to another person. Later, when the lady stops at a café, she notices her waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, she pays for her meal with a hundred-dollar bill. Then the lady walks out, leaving the change and a note for the waitress.
Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a
surprise ending. The waitress goes home to her husband, happy because of the kindness the lady showed her. Then we find out that he's the man who first started the chain of kindness.
H: What a great story! So does this happen in real life
K: Yes, actually. One woman, after paying for her coffee, then quietly paid for the coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had been paid for, he paid for the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued for hours. Nearly 400 people paid for the coffee of the person behind them!
H: Wow, that's amazing. So what can our listeners do to help
K: Well, join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are “paying it forward”! We never know what light we might spark in others by our kindness.

Tell a story
When telling a story, you can start by saying what the story is about. Give the background to the listeners, including when and where it took place. Say what happened step by step and be sure to use correct tenses. Do not forget to use sequencing words or linking words.
Finally, finish your story by saying why it is important to you or why you remember it.
Think of a story of showing or receiving kindness, either your own story or one that you have heard of. Then share it with your group.
Once, I did not have money to go to university, and so someone paid my tuition that term. This happened when I was eighteen. My grandmother had just died, and this had caused my family great expense, so we had no extra money at all. I did everything I could to raise the money, but it seemed hopeless. Then the morning that the tuition was due, someone gave my mother an envelope with the money. It wasn’t their money, and they wouldn’t say who it was from. It seems that some stranger had heard about my money problem and decided to help. This meant so much to me, as without it I would not have been able to go to university.
