Last Saturday I went to the library as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.
I was proud what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.

It’s important for everyone to learn how to apologize effectively. You might think a simple “I’m sorry” will take care of everything.  小题1: There are some situations in which you need to apologize properly.
Apologize truely.
Apologizing through a half-hearted “Sorry” will get you nowhere.  小题2: If you really want to apologize, you must do it truely. Accept the fact that you were in the wrong.  小题3: 
Contrary to what you might think, apologizing over and over again isn’t going to help, especially if you’re apologizing to someone who’s your boss.
Don’t wait too long to apologize.
One piece of advice on how to apologize effectively is to do it as soon as you realize your mistake. Some people put off giving an apology because they think it will save them from the offended (被冒犯的) person’s anger. However, that is just not polite. If you can’ t approach the person personally at once, send him or her a message first.  小题4:
Don’t expect too much.
You can’t expect that person to forgive you immediately. If you’re going to apologize, you have to be prepared for the worst. The conversation isn’t going to be the most comfortable one either.  小题5:
Learning how to apologize effectively is very important. It shows people that you are a very kind person.

A．Don’t apologize again and again.

B．However, that’s not exactly true.

C．Pay a visit to others ahead of time.

D．You’d better prepare yourself for anything.

E. But make sure you make an apology in person as well.
F. In fact, it might get you into even bigger trouble than before.
G. A lot of people don’t know how to make an apology to their boss.
