If we’re talking about a time when I helped a stranger who wasn’t my family member or close person, the first period of my life which comes to my mind is the time when I helped a stranger near the exam class. I was going home and I walked nearby the exam and I found that a stranger. He looked really sad and particularly lost and I decided to talk to him. I’m that type of person that likes to talk to different people and be in different occasions. And I asked him the reasons for him being so sad and lost. He told me that he is not afraid for his exam and he finds it really difficult to accomplish. I decided to give him a piece of advice and also I gave him an honest conversation which I think is really important in our lives. honest conversation can not only prove your position about something but also give you a boost of energy which can be sensual in some time. The clear advice that I give him was thinking about the sound like a part of a long way in your life that it’s not the main detail, it’s just a small feature which influences on this day. And finally when he underwent this exam, I met him again and decided to ask about the process of it and he said that he liked my advice and it helped him so much. And by the end I want to say that I like to help strangers and probably would like to put myself in situations like this more. And also, despite advice being so simple, the conversation was honest and the main thing that helped him probably wasn’t advice, but the type of conversation which he had. Sometimes we need conversations like this which would give us energy and good mood.

If we're talking about a time when I helped a stranger who wasn't my family member or close friend, the first period of my life which comes to my mind is the time when I helped a stranger near the exam hall. I was going home and I walked nearby the exam and I found a stranger. He looked really sad and particularly lost, and I decided to talk to him. I'm that type of person that likes to talk to different people and be in different situations. And I asked him the reasons for him being so sad and lost. He told me that he is not afraid for his exam and he finds it really difficult to accomplish. I decided to give him a piece of advice and also I gave him an honest conversation which I think is really important in our lives. An honest conversation can not only prove your position about something but also give you a boost of energy which can be essential in some time. The clear advice that I gave him was thinking about the exam like a part of a long way in your life, that it's not the main detail, it's just a small feature which influences on this day. And finally when he underwent this exam, I met him again and decided to ask about the process of it, and he said that he liked my advice and it helped him so much. And by the end I want to say that I like to help strangers and probably would like to put myself in situations like this more. And also, despite advice being so simple, the conversation was honest and the main thing that helped him probably wasn't advice, but the type of conversation which he had. Sometimes we need conversations like this which would give us energy and good mood.
