LuckyAnimal helper
Dear Miss Li,I'd like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.
Paragraph 1 :
1.What is “Animal Helpers” ?It is a group was set up to help disabled people.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
Paragraph 2:1. Can you give me some examples of normal things according to the passage? answering the telephone ,opening and shutting the doors , carrying thing
