Model Answer 2
Last Friday, Soo, Haider, and I were playing football in the field near our school. Suddenly, we
heard a loud bang. It came from a tree near the field.
With hearts thumping hard, we ran towards the loud sound to see what happened. We were
very shocked to see a car crashed into a tree. The driver and his lone passenger were seriously
injured. My friends and I used our full strength to bring the victims out of the wrecked car as
quickly as we could.
Then, I quickly phoned the medic and the police. I explained to them on what had happened
briefly. An ambulance and a police car came fifteen minutes later.
At the secene, the policeman took down statements of what had happened from us again.
After the ambulance had taken the victims to hospital, we left the scene of the accident. We prayed
that the victims will be recovered soon.
We were very glad that we had done our part to save the two lives. For some unknown reason,
we felt like we were at the right place at the opportune time.
