Example:
Dogs are the most
popular pet. Dogs have been living with humans for over 20000 years. Over the millennia
until today, dogs have given us a lot in return for our acceptance of them. First,
dogs protect us and can work as watchdogs. They guard our families and let us know
when strangers approach. A dog will bark and growl when it senses danger. Secondly,
dogs are very loyal companions to us. We think of them as friends; they think of
us as pack members. If you are happy, they are happy. If you feel sick, they
will sleep next to you. A good dog will stay by your side through thick and
thin. Finally, dogs teach children responsibility. A child has to feed their
dog everyday. A child has to walk their dog everyday. The child will learn how
important it is to think of others and to take care of other. All in all, dogs
make valuable contributions to our lives.
