Many people hurt their backs when they try to lift heavy things from the floor. It is easy to hurt your back muscle(肌肉) when you try to pick up a heavy thing. However, there is a correct way to lift things from the floor. If you pick up heavy things correctly, you probably will not hurt your back.
To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend (弯曲) your knees and lower yourself. Keep your back straight.

As you lower yourself, try to get as close to thing as you can, put one knee on each side of the thing. Remember at all times to keep your back straight. Put your hand under the thing that is in front of you, between y our knees.

My dad used to say he knew I would be a singer. When I was a baby, I was always singing loudly. Dad was a big sports fan, but he was happy I loved music.

After dinner, Dad would often ask me to sing. He always said I sang I Will Always Love You much better than Whitney Houston!

At every school concert he cheered me on. The look of pride on his face made me happy.

My life was full of concerts, singing lessons and laughter. Though my mum and brothers helped me, they did not share our love for music.

Our lives changed when Dad was told that he had cancer. We always hoped that something would happen and he would get better, but the doctors told us that they could not save him.

About a week before my dad died, he fell into a coma (昏迷). The nurses said even though Dad did not reply, he could still hear me.

The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang, my dad gave a big smile, and clapped (鼓掌).

I will always remember that smile. I was so pleased to know that Dad had heard me sing one more song.

My dad died on May 14, 2000. It was hard to believe: he was so full of life. I don’t know how to say how much I miss him.

Now I have all the memories of him and his beautiful smile deep inside my heart. I will always know that he is listening from his front row seat in heaven.

He used to say: “Sing from your heart.”

My dad has been and will always be my hero.
