Question

Read this story and write a suitable conclusion for it. The conclusion should be based on the events described in the story. On Friday evening, Shania and Roland were driving home from the movies. They stopped at a red light and were talking about the movie. Suddenly, a car crashed into their car from behind. Shania cut her lip on the straw from the drink she’d been sipping. Thankfully, however, they weren’t seriously injured. They pulled over and got out of their car, and so did the driver from the car that crashed into them. The reckless driver apologized for his mistake and asked Shania and Roland if they were hurt. They assured him that they were fine. He offered to take care of the damages through his insurance if they wouldn’t press charges. Shania and Roland . . .

Answer 1

Shania and Roland looked at each other evaluating the situation, and then saw their car, it wasn’t badly damaged. They talked for a few minutes in private and decided that they were tired and wanted to return home quickly so they wouldn’t press any changes. The driver gave Roland the insurance information and thanked them. Finally, Shania and Roland returned home in their crashed car thinking if they had done correctly. Next morning, they woke up and while they were having breakfast, they listened to the news. A man was killed in a car accident…he was the man that had crashed their car the previous night. They immediately thought…what if we had called the police and pressed charges? Maybe the driver would be still alive.
