One day when I was walking through a park, a woman came up to me and asked if I was willing to donate1 blood. I turned her down because the thought of it made me uncomfortable. However, she still tried to persuade me to sign up.

So, on second thoughtI agreed because I realized a little discomfort2 could end up helping2 someone. She then led me into a donation3 car to fill out a form and do a series of tests. Afterwards, I was informed that I was healthy enough to donate blood.

When I lay down, I was a bit nervous. Still, I rolled up my sleeve3, and a nurse started to draw my blood. She also helped me relax by chatting with me. Fifteen minutes later, I was done with donating blood and was very proud of myself.

有一天当我行经公园时,一名女子向我走来,并且问我是否愿意捐血。我拒绝了她,因为一想到捐血就让我觉得很不舒服。不过她仍然试图要说服我加入他们捐血的行列。

所以经过一番仔细思考后,我同意了,因为我了解一点点的不舒服最后可以帮助某人。然后她把我带进捐血车里填写表格,还做了一连串的测试。之后他们通知我说我够健康,可以捐血。

当我躺下来时有一点紧张。我仍然卷起衣袖,一名护士开始帮我抽血。她也跟我聊天好助我放松。十五分钟后,我捐血完毕,自己也感到十分骄傲。
