  • A pleasant experience is not a helpful act. A pleasant experience is something that is enjoyable or makes you happy.

The idiom "a good turn" comes from the idea of doing something kind or helpful for someone else. In the same way, a good turn is a helpful act that you do for someone else. For example, you might say that you did someone a good turn by helping them carry their groceries.
