II. Sample Essay: Narrating a Good Deed by Your Classmate
 

1. Sample Narrative of a Good Deed by Your Classmate, Sample 1 (Standard):

Minh Anh is an exemplary role model student in our class, not only with admirable academic achievements but also a sociable individual who cares deeply for friends. Though not overly close, Minh Anh is always ready to lend a helping hand in times of need, which deeply touches me.

I recently transferred to Ngô Gia Tự Elementary School for a semester, though already familiar with the school and teachers, I hadn't yet formed many close friendships like at my old school. I vividly remember that day when our class had a spelling test. We diligently wrote each word following the teacher's pronunciation. Halfway through the test, unfortunately, my pen fell to the ground, causing the nib to break and ink to spill. With a broken pen, I felt lost, unable to complete the test. As tears welled up in my eyes and my unfinished test lay on the desk, Minh Anh turned to me, offering a new pen from his pencil case. He said, 'You can use my pen to finish your test. If you can't finish in time, I'll read it out for you to write.' Perhaps sensing my distress, Minh Anh lent me his favorite pen. All I could utter was a heartfelt 'Thank you,' but inside, I felt deeply grateful, appreciating his kindness and concern.

Thanks to Minh Anh's assistance, I managed to complete the test. Since that day, Minh Anh and I have grown closer, often helping each other in our studies and becoming best friends. Minh Anh is not just a close friend but also a shining example for me to emulate.
 

2. Narrating a Good Deed by Your Classmate, Sample 2:

Previously, I used to think that in everyday life, not everyone has the opportunity to do good deeds. But then something happened last week that made me realize it's not like that at all, folks. I witnessed a shining example of kindness right in my class. Let me tell you about that example, it's my friend Ngô Xuân Anh.

That day was during the fourth period of biology class on Tuesday, January 12th, 2015. After the recess, Xuân Anh entered the biology classroom along with some other boys and found a 200,000 VND note. The whole class exclaimed, with someone even saying, 'Why am I the one who didn't find that money?' Seeing Xuân Anh looking around, seemingly contemplating for a while as if thinking: 'Should I return it or not? With money, I could buy this book, get new clothes, and purchase those toys I've been dreaming of...' Seeing Xuân Anh chuckling, one of the boys said, 'Hey Xuân Anh, don't give the money to the teacher; instead, use it to treat the class to some iced tea.' Half of the class agreed, saying, 'Yeah, don't return it, Xuân Anh.' Suddenly, someone said, 'Xuân Anh, you should return the money to the teacher so she can give it back to the owner. Do you remember the school's campaign: find lost items, return them to their owners?'

The other half of the class also agreed with that friend's opinion. Half of the class said not to return it, while the other half said to return it. Xuân Anh just smiled without saying a word, then stood up and asked Ms. Ngọc for permission to go outside. I watched and thought, 'It seems like you want to return it to the owner.' After a while, Xuân Anh quietly returned to the classroom and resumed studying with a serene expression.

Sure enough, on Monday morning, Xuân Anh was praised by the principal during the flag-raising ceremony. The enthusiastic applause from the whole school deeply moved Xuân Anh. His actions awakened in me the truth of honestly returning lost items, no matter how small, in the class. I suddenly realized that everyone has the opportunity to do good deeds, as long as they have a kind heart.
