北京市房山区2020年九年级英语二模试卷
I was walking home from work on a busy city street with lots of people. I wasn't looking forward to going home, because my friends were busy with their own business and weren't able to spend time lazily with me. It's then when I walked past a homeless person that I hadn't seen before. He was moving back and forth (来回的) to stay warm, and very gently asking for some change. His words for money were so quiet that I could hardly hear him.
Something made me stop, turn around and walk up to him. At the same time, some thoughts appeared in my head like, "What do you think you're doing?" "You're alone, it's dark out and you're a woman. "Before I knew what I was doing, I asked him if he had had dinner yet and if he would like to join me at a nearby restaurant. He said he hadn't eaten and he would like to. So, he walked with me a few yards to the restaurant and held the door open for me as we entered.
He asked for the smallest thing on the menu but I ordered a larger meal and I explained that the price wasn't worth worrying about. We had a good dinner and a pleasant conversation about our life like where we grew up and what kind of music we liked. During the whole time, I just tried to say the right thing and give him the respect and care everyone has. I didn't want to show that I was better than him.
I was so grateful for this experience. I may not have met my friends that evening but I met an unexpected friend and the experience changed my life. It will make me think twice in future before I complain about something I don't have.
