I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone’s groans（呻吟）.I listened , and heard it was from Sam，a student from Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn’t because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.

At that time , Robbie，a student from China , also got up to help. We found some pills，got some water , and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain go down a little and get over the difficult time. If only daytime would come soon, everything would become easier.

Things went contrary相反）to our wishes. Sam’s condition developed from bad to worse. We telephoned the emergency service , and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of our gate. We helped the medical（医疗）workers carry Sam to the vehicle，and then both Robbie and I got in and took Sam to the hospital.

We helped him go through many medical examinations. After all kinds of tests，we were told that the final diagnosis（诊断）was appendicitis（盲肠炎）. Luckily , Sam didn’t need an operation because we brought him to the hospital in time. He got timely treatment.
