九、书面表达(10分)
Last Saturday afternoon, I took a walk in a nearby park. When I came back, a dog was walking after me. It followed me until I got to the door of my house.
When I was opening the door, it was sitting on the ground and looking at me. I knew it was lost. Then I let it in and fed it some food and water. After that, I put up a Dog Found Notice at the gate of our neighborhood.
The next day, the owner of the dog came to my house and picked it up. He thanked me a lot before leaving. I felt proud that I was able to give others a helping hand.
