MODEL: The New Neighbour
Last summer, a man moved into our building. As soon
as they had seen him, the other neighbours began to
talk. They said that he was probably a criminal. He
really looked frightening and he never said a word to
anyone.
One day, I heard shouts coming from the stairs. Mrs.
Thompsons baby was choking and she was screaming
fro help! All of a sudden, the new neighbour appeared.
He grabbed the baby and helped her breathe again.
He was a doctor, and he had saved the babys life.
After that, we all began to talk to him.
We found out that he was in England and didnt know
much English. That was why he was so quiet. We had
all been wrong about him. In the end, we learned a
lesson from what had happened: you cant rely on first
