Imagine you're running late and a stranger clearly needs help. What would you do?

B2Helping & kindnessWhat if

A natural way to answer

I'd like to think I'd stop and help, even if it meant being late. Most things can wait a few minutes, and I'd rather be late than leave someone struggling.

Key phrases to use

  • walk past — to go by someone or something without stopping“I couldn't just walk past and pretend I didn't see.”
  • eat at someone — to keep bothering or worrying someone over time“The argument we had is still eating at me.”
