這是一篇描寫文(Description)。用通俗的話說，描寫文就是用文字給人物、地點、景物畫象。一篇描寫文主要是通過所感受的細節——所見所聞發展而來的。在寫人時，不僅僅要用細節描寫其外貌，而要注重通過他的言行來表現其人物性格、思想和品德，更要抓住他區別于他人的性格特點，這樣就容易給讀者留下深刻的印象。短文的第一、二段敘述故事發生的時間、地點，故事發生的原因及故事所涉及的人物。文章的三、四、五段描寫的是人物的外貌，穿著及性格特點。通過對人物言行的簡單描寫來揭示主人翁的助人為樂的高尚精神。短文的最后一段，要用一句話概括作者對主人翁的看法：Agoodguy。文章有描述，有議論，要加敘加議，有血有肉，上下文連貫要緊密，首尾要呼應，人和事要給人們留下深刻印象。
