When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t 36 me at home on my own, 37 I had to go to the market with her.
38 , I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mother told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get 39 .When I got older, I gave my mother a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market 40 because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I 41 my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made 42 them.
One day, my mother was ill, so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to 43 some candles with me and see 44 I could sell them. They 45 in 20 minutes! The next week, my mother gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too.
Ten months later, we decided 46 flowers. My mother and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound 47 every candle, and we 48 sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle 49 me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve 50 looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from the designer, furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

I used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.
Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap(代沟) between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted（理所当然）.
Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.
The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended(假装) that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for troubling my sleep that I shouted, “__________.”
As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “What do you think your father is? Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me worriedly, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.
I didn’t return home until 10 a.m.. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. “Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.
