Example 1. Short B1 story
Last Friday, I was walking home after work when I saw a small dog near the bus stop. It looked cold and frightened. I tried to call it, but it ran away. Then I noticed a phone number on its collar. I called the owner, and twenty minutes later she arrived. In the end, the dog was safe, and I felt really happy.
