初中学生作品欣赏－The thing that I'll never forget

How time flies! I'm fifteen years now. During the long time, there was one thing that I will never forget.

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival. During the Spring Festival, people usually visit their friends and relatives¹. When I was 9 years old, my family took the bus to my grandparents' to say “Happy New Year” to them.

In the bus, I had a good seat. At 7:30, the bus came to a village. A woman got on with a baby in her arms. At that time, there was no seat. But she must look after her baby carefully. She had to stand next to me. I wanted to stand up and let her sit down, but I was afraid of hearing² the other people say“That girl want to be praised.”I looked around. Most people were looking out of the windows and some were sleeping. Suddenly, a little boy behind me, stood up and made room for the woman. She said “Thank you very much” with a big smile. The boy smiled, too. When I told my cousin about it after that, he said “The child is the father of a man.” I'm very ashamed³. Why could't I do the same thing as the little boy did?

From that I learn that we should do our best to help people who need help. If everyone makes a contribution⁴ to helping⁵ others, the world will become much more beautiful！
