A few years ago, while I was on a cycling (骑自行车) trip in Brazil, I fell off my bike. I 1 my knees a little bit, but the front wheel of my bike was broken badly. It was really a 2 day for me and I needed a helping hand. At that time I remembered seeing a house a few minutes ago, so I 3 my bike and started walking.
I didn’t speak the local language except “please” and “thank you”, but I needed tools to 4 the bike. I had no idea how to 5 what happened. Then I remembered my translation app! I knew it wouldn’t be perfect, but 6 it would tell people the basics. I walked towards the house, app in hand, and 7 on the door.
The elderly woman Lisa who answered the door looked at me, my broken bike and my 8 . She welcomed me warmly. I was sitting on a chair, with my knees bandaged (绑上绷带的) in just five 9 time. Lisa’s husband Gustavo and a group of neighbors had appeared from nowhere during the five minutes. My accident was 10 becoming a party. Gustavo and a neighbor were enjoying a heated 11 about the best way to repair the wheel on my bike. A bike accident is likely to be a bad thing. But by the time Lisa and Gustavo 12 me at my hotel that night, with a full stomach and a clean, fully repaired bike, I felt like the 13 man in the world.
Although we were 14 before the accident, their behavior encouraged me a lot. I don’t know how to express my 15 . Even today, their kindness continues to make me smile.
