Describe a time when you helped a child
You should say:
When it was
How you helped him/her
Why you helped him/her
And how you felt about it
“帮助小孩的经历”是经历类的新题，这题大家可能会有些犯难，不是很日常的事情。从以下角度可以给大家做一下唤醒：因为工作原因和小孩接触、是朋友亲人的小孩、在路上遇到的陌生孩子，具体下文会详细描述。
另外一种想法是根据自己小时候被帮助的经历去置换角色，实在没有思路的话，我们就根据以上三种场景去”编故事“。
这道题目其实不太容易做串题，大家可以尝试看看：
在一个“有趣的城市”旅游，在景点”长距离的步行”遇到了一个走丢的孩子，帮孩子找到了家长，孩子送了我一个”免费的物品“/“特殊的蛋糕”，这个孩子是我“见过一次想要了解更多的人”。
这个小问主要交代一下故事的背景，可以囊括时间、地点、缘由（为什么去这个地方）。时间具体展开可以是年份、季节、假日、时间点等，地点和缘由相结合，比如是旅游的途中、回家路上、去朋友或亲戚家的时候。
此处可以聊一下遇到的困难+你提供的解决办法（可以不止一个解决办法）。困难比如是小朋友迷路了、丢东西了、要做作业等等，你帮助TA也是从两方面，一种是先安抚TA的情绪（比如给小朋友吃糖，或者抱抱小朋友等），另一种是帮他解决这个问题（找警察叔叔，原地等家长等等）
讲帮助的原因有几条可以给大家参考：一是觉得助人为乐是一种很好的品质，我也是一直奉行着这种精神；二是看到孩子非常无助和可怜，心生不忍，要去帮忙，而且如果没有立刻帮忙解决的话，担心会有不好的后果（比如被坏人带走等）相信大部分人都会这么做的；第三种可以是碍于朋友或者亲戚的情面/正因为是好朋友或亲人，要帮他们的孩子做某事。
两个方向给大家参考，一个是自己心理活动的变化，比如一开始想会不会是自己多管闲事，中途也为孩子感到担忧，后面帮到了孩子还是很开心的。第二个也可以谈谈自己从中是否有学到什么，比如孩子乐观、坚强，或者是自己在当中的坚持善念等等。
下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图：
I was a volunteer at an elementary school where the students are mostly in grade 1 or 2. They have Chinese classes every Saturday, and I work as a teaching assistant. In most cases, I need to help them with their writing, reading and general learning. For example, when they are facing problems like do not know how to read some characters, I can reteach them, and tell them some tips to remember. When there are quarrels in the classroom, I will need to talk with each student and calm everyone down to set the class environment back to normal.
The reason why I am glad to be the volunteer at the school is that I like kids, and I feel fulfilled and joyful when I am with them and help them. There was one foreign kid who is not from China, and he came to the class just because he likes Chinese. He shocked me a lot and I respect him because of his courage to blend into an unfamiliar environment.
There was another girl who is sweet and quiet in class, she also performs a strong learning ability and good marks. Once her parents pick her up late, she talked with me a lot and shared some of her own stories with me. I felt trusted and we struck up a close friendship，which is meaningful and fun for me. I learned a lot from this volunteer experience. I discovered my ability of teaching and my willingness to help kids. It is one of my precious memories.
