An Unforgettable Experience
Last Saturday， I planned to take the bus to the train station. When I was waiting
for the bus， it began to rain. Unluckily， I forgot to take my umbrella. I stood in the
rain， with the rain beating heavily against my body. Just at that time， a car stopped
and the driver offered to take me to the train station. I was so moved. I’ll never forget
this experience and will always be ready to help others like that driver. (共18张PPT)
