TOPIC: You're telling your friend about how you recently helped somebody.

Dear [friend's name],

Hi! What's up? Hope you're fine! Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, just been drowning in schoolwork! How were your midterms? Bet you passed with flying colours!

Guess what? Something weird happened today! As I was walking home from school, I saw a small boy looking confused. He was basically tear-eyed and calling out to family. My heart sank at the sight! Of course, I ran up to him and asked him what was up. As you may already have guessed, the boy was lost... I introduced myself and then we went around looking for his family as I was holding him by the hand. All of a sudden, a teenage girl came up to us and hugged the boy. Thankfully, it was his older sister! Perfect timing, right? I immediately let out a sigh of relief!

By the way, she kept insisting on paying me back and I just had to give in! That's how we ended up chatting in a coffee shop later on! She's really nice and we're planning on getting together this weekend again. Want to join us?

Anyway, got to go now, mum's nagging me to do chores again! Write back soon and fill me in on your news!

Love,

[your name]
