WORKED OUTPUT (model paragraph ~110–130w, natural use)
In a light drizzle, I waited at the bus stop, watching raindrops ripple across a puddle near the kerb. A man hurried past, but the ground was slippery. He suddenly stumbled and almost fell. I was startled, then quickly stepped forward to steady him. He gave an apologetic smile, yet his face looked embarrassed. “Are you okay?” I asked, feeling concerned. After he regained his balance, he thanked me softly. When he walked away safely, I finally felt relieved, as if a heavy knot in my chest had loosened.
