Each of us is brave in a different way.
For example, there is the person who saves another person’s life, such as when someone falls off the subway platform and the other person rescues him seconds before the train arrives.
Then there is the person who finds the courage to leave his or her country in order to go to another land and start a new life. That person is very brave, too, because starting a new life in a strange land and with a different language is very, very difficult.
Then there’s the person who is very shy, but who leaves the house in the morning to try to find a job and make a living.
There is also the mother or father who works very long hours at a hard job in order to earn money to help support the family. That person is very brave, too.
So tell me about your own life and the time when you were brave. What was the brave deed or act you did? How did you feel – frightened or confident? Was it hard for you to be brave?
Or, if you wish, write about someone you know who has done a brave deed. Tell me who that person is and what he or she did.
