Sample Answer
Last year in the winter my father was going to go outside wearing just slippers, trousers and a jumper. I told him to put on his winter coat, boots and a hat as | was afraid he would freeze to death. He said he would be back in 5 minutes. And he told me a story about a man who spent a whopping 20 hours lying paralyzed in snow outside his home and didn’t even have any frostbite. I was amazed to hear that. I asked how it was possible. And it appeared that the man was saved by his dog.
So, there was some man who decided to go outside for a moment, just like my father. He wasn’t going to stay out in the cold for a long time, that’s why he was wearing slippers, trousers and a shirt. But he slipped and broke his neck. He couldn’t stand up. He was lying in the snow screaming for help, but nobody could hear him. Luckily, his dog came to him and started barking for help. She kept him warm for about 20 hours by lying on top of him. Also, she kept him awake by licking his hands and face. If he had fallen asleep, he would have been doomed. The dog kept barking for help all night long. Thank God, she alerted the man’s neighbour, who called the emergency services, and the man was taken to hospital.
The story moved me, but when my father finished it ! asked him to put on warm clothes because we didn’t have a dog that would rescue him.
