Use your own ideas. Here is an example.

Last weekend, I went to a concert with some of my friends. It took a couple of hours to
drive to the concert. It was pretty far. While we were waiting in line to get in, we started
talking to some people. I thought one of the girls looked familiar. But I wasn’t sure. But
when she said she was from the same town, I asked her “Which school do you go to?” It
was the same school as my brother, and I realized she was one of my brother’s friends. I
couldn’t believe it! It’s amazing that you can meet someone in a crowd of 15,000 people
like that. It’s a small world!
