Learning to learn
Features are “people stories”, and are typically longer than standard news stories. Features are written in an individual style, with extra detail and background.
Features stories typically start with a “hook” that gets the interest of the reader. The style of the first paragraph also needs to set the tone of the whole piece. The middle part contains the “meat” of the story, with the “ending” being a summary, a powerful quote or even a surprise for the reader.

Possible version:
I’ll share a moving story about Brownlee brothers. With just 700 metres to go in the final part of the 2016 World Triathlon Series in Mexico, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the lead. However, his brother was exhausted and about to fall on to the track. Alistair, who could have a chance to win, chose to help his brother. Jonny was in second place, and Alistair in third.
Opinions on whether Alistair should be highly praised for his actions are divided.
As far as I am concerned, he should be highly praised, because that's what brothers should do. At that moment, he was not an athlete aiming for a medal but just a brother.
From the story I've learnt that brotherly love means helping each other out of trouble. That's all that matters.
