【A（Beggar-一个乞丐及大学英语作文）】In the heart of a bustling city, where the noise of traffic and the hurried steps of people fill the air, there is a quiet corner where one can often find a beggar. He sits on a worn-out mat, his face weathered by time and hardship. His clothes are tattered, and his eyes seem to hold the weight of a thousand unspoken stories.
Every day, as people rush past him, few stop to look. Some avoid eye contact, while others glance at him briefly before turning away. It is easy to ignore him, to pretend he doesn’t exist. But in reality, he is a part of the city’s hidden life, a reminder of the struggles that many choose not to see.
I remember the first time I noticed him. He was sitting silently, holding out an empty cup. I hesitated, then dropped a few coins into it. He looked up, smiled faintly, and said “Thank you.” That simple act made me realize how little we often give, yet how much we take for granted.
The beggar is not just a figure of pity; he is a symbol of human suffering and resilience. He has no home, no family, and no future that most of us would consider normal. Yet, he continues to live, day after day, with a quiet dignity that is hard to ignore.
Sometimes, when I pass by, I try to imagine his life. What led him to this situation? Was he once like us—working, studying, dreaming of a better future? Or did fate deal him a harsh hand from the beginning?
It is easy to feel indifferent, but the more I think about him, the more I feel a sense of responsibility. We all have the power to make a difference, even in small ways. A kind word, a moment of attention, or simply acknowledging his presence can mean more than we realize.
In a world that often moves too fast to care, the beggar reminds us of the importance of compassion. He may be invisible to many, but he is not forgotten by those who choose to see.
So, the next time you pass by someone in need, take a moment to look, to listen, and to act. Because even the smallest gesture can change a life—and maybe even your own.
