A Trifle① That Still Upsets Me
What about the sick old man in that cart②? Is he well now?  Every time I think of what happened to me a year ago, I feel I was to blame③.
It was a Saturday evening, the third evening after my arrival at Zheng Ding Middle School. I was a new comer and knew little about the town. After supper, I went out for a walk alone. It was getting dark and few people were in the street. Suddenly a cart stopped and the man who pulled the cart came to ask me if I knew the way to the No. 1 Hospital.
I had heard of the hospital and I seemed to have been told that it was in the north of the town, but I was not quite sure. I looked at the sick old man lying in the cart and moaning④. Without hesitation, I told him the way to the hospital. Then he turned the cart round and soon it was out of sight. When I came back to the dormitory, I told my roommates what had happened. They told me that the No. 1 Hospital was in the southeast of the town. Only then did I realize that I had told the man the wrong way. I at once thought of the sick old man and felt upset⑤.
What would they do if they couldn＇t find the hospital? Would the sick old man survive⑥the journey? I couldn＇t think any more. I was too upset.
A year has passed. I am still worrying about the old man. Maybe I will never have a chance to make it up, but from then on I have never said a word that I am not sure of. （转载自科教范文网http://fw.nseac.com）

【写法指要】
本文用插叙的方法写作者自己因做错一件小事而忐忑不安的有愧心绪。第一段首先用了两个反诘句，然后点题：我该受到责备。第二、三段是插叙一年前发生的事。第四段又用了两个反诘句，之后说：“我很不安”，与第一段呼应。最后一段用不同的表达方式再次重复自己受到的良心的谴责。
