helping poor woman Today I bought a coup of soup to a homeless woman. Actually first I tought she is hungry, because there was a writing on a paper which is "I am homeless and broke". Then I thought, giving money directly to her could be useless, because I don't know what she want to do with that money, I don't want her to spend her money on wine of other kind of alcohol etc. After on my way back home I bought a big coup of soup to her because outside was freezing. Then I felt like I regret because maybe giving her money was the best way to help her. Maybe she could pay her rent or she has children to buy bread. I don't know, I was confused and I did my best for that time. And I came home and didn't think about her. I hope she has felt warm a little bit.

Helping a poor woman

Today I bought* a cup of soup for a homeless woman. Actually, first I thought she is hungry, because there was writing on a paper which read** "I am homeless and broke". Then I thought, giving money directly to her could be useless, because I don't know what she wants to do with that money. I don't want her to spend her money on wine or another kind of alcohol etc. After, on my way back home, I brought a big cup of soup to her because outside it was freezing. Then I felt regret because maybe giving her money was the best way to help her. Maybe she could pay her rent or she has children to feed. I don't know, I was confused and I did my best at that time.
And I came home and didn't think about her. I hope she felt a little bit warmer.

*bought = 'buyed'. Brought =  'bringed' (did bring). Many people misspell or confuse these two irregular verbs.

**or, ... because there was written on a paper ''I am homeless..''

Very well written!

Helping a poor woman

Today I bought a cup of soup for a homeless woman. Actually, I thought she was hungry, because she had a piece of paper which said: "I am homeless and broke".

I was worried about giving her money because I didn't know what she would do with it. I didn't want her to spend it on alcohol, etc.

On my way back home I gave a big cup of soup to her because the weather was freezing. Then I felt some regret because maybe giving her money was the best way to help her? Maybe she could pay her rent or she has children to feed? I don't know, I was confused but I did my best for her.
I came home and didn't think about her. I hope she  felt warmer for a little bit.
