	Yesterday, when I was riding along a busy street, I saw an accident. A woman was knocked down when she was crossing the street at a zebra crossing. Many people stopped to offer their help. A policeman arrived and asked a young man to telephone for an ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance, the policeman and some people tried to stop the bleeding.
