    It is said that the dog is man’s best friend, and there are many lessons we can learn from this friend.

    Love and fidelity first of all. A dog will always follow you, it doesn’t matter if you tell him not to, for the simple reason that he wants to be next to you.

    Observe your dog and you will see that he eats when he needs to eat, without gorging himself.

    A dog can teach you how to adapt in life. The dog is in fact a perfect example of how an animal can adapt to different places and to new families without problems.

    A dog is also a great example of altruism such as when he is about to die and turns away from everyone to no longer be a burden to others.

    A dog also teaches you to rest and not to waste energy. In fact, dogs know how to rest and save energy when there is nothing to do, unlike many people who must always feel active.

    Well written Diego

    (note in the first phrase, you don’t need the dog, for the same reason you wrote man’s and not the man’s: It is said that dog is man’s best friend, and there are many lessons we can learn from this friend.)

    ✅ you used your own words

    ✅ you identified the main idea

    ✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details

    ✅ you kept the meaning the same

    ✅ you kept your opinion out of it

    Things to improve

    ▶️you should note the title and author in the topic sentence

    e.g > In “The lessons one can learn from a dog”, the author writes about how many things man can learn from dogs.

    ▶️ you should use attributive tags

    e.g > The Author suggests etc
