Passage 1 Dear Family life, My father is a career man, and he is very busy on weekdays. He is so busy that he always forgets himself like his birthday. Last year on his birthday, he went home late in the evening as usual. When he opened the door, he found there was a big birthday cake with some candles on the table and all of us stood at the table. He was surprised and said “I’m sorry! Whose birthday, I forgot.” We all didn’t answer him, then he went to me and said “Tell me, baby! I’ll give him/her a present tomorrow.” “Dad’s birthday!” “Oh, my god. Give him a present to do some washing. Ok?” Yours, Kate Passage 2 Dear Family life, My father is a lovely and funny man, we love him very much. My mother is good at cooking, so he is poor at it. But he loves us very much. One day, my mother was ill and couldn’t cook for us. So my father volunteered to go to the supermarket to buy some meat and vegetables with me. Then he washed them carefully and prepared them for dinner. At last, he finished cooking and asked us to have dinner. I went to the table and found chicken and fish were burned black, and my father’s face was also black. My mother and I laughed till we cried. Yours, John
