WRITE ABOUT YOUR HERO (9º)

Hello, guys. In your workbooks there is an amazing story about a special hero. Here, you are going to find another example, just to guide you when writing about your own HERO'S STORY. You can about a fantastic hero or a person or even an animal you consider a hero and tell why.

Toby, my dog; is my favorite hero. He saved me from drowning in my grandparents' lake. It was last year summer. My family decided to go vacations there. We arrived to the farmhouse and inmediately we went to have a picnic near the lake. I was swimming when suddenly something strange pulled my legs and I began to sink. I shouted for help and Toby, my dog, jumped into the lake, swam, took my long hair and carried me to lake's side. It was incredible. We were surprised. Toby was really a strong dog.

Now, write your story and post it as a comment.
