Language points
2. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped
me out.
help out 意为 “使某人脱离困境”可分开使用。
Nobody helped me out when I lost my job.
当我失业的时候没有人帮助我。
It was unexpected but I could help out if the price was right, I thought.
这有点出乎意料，但我想如果价格合适的话我可以帮忙一下。
3. I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
be excited about意为“对……感到兴奋”，主语通常是人；而exciting意为“令人感到兴奋的”，主语通常是物或事件。其他类似的词： surprising / surprised; interesting / interested等也是这样区分的。如：
He is very interested in this interesting book.
他对这本有趣的书很感兴趣。
4. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kindness!
(1)此句中的be able to 意为“能够做……的事”， 可用can替换，主语为物时一般都使用can, can没有将来时和完成时，也不能用于其他助动词后面，所以常用be able to do 来替换。
(2) because of 是介词短语，表原因，后面接名词或代词宾语。because 是连词，后常接从句。
