Andrew Bennett talked for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what happened on the night of November 23.1995.

“I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I left at about 11 p.m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible. The wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the men looked frightened, too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange. When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.”

“I was still very upset about what happened on the road. So I went to have a bath. Then I saw that the window in the bathroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it, I found Ellen lying there, blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.”

“The next thing I knew was the sky was getting bright. I can’t remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like a few hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man in the road. What was he doing on that night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?”

What is love? It’s a simple word with so much meaning.

People around the world are talking about love today. And not without reason-love is a wonderful feeling! But close your eyes and _______ love for a minute. What does love mean to you? Love is a feeling, but what else is it?

Love is _______

We can find that love is not always expressed through words. If you are in love, you keep thinking of ways to show your love to the other person. When you are completely in love, there’s _______ you wouldn’t do to show your feelings to the person you love.

Love is sacrifice (牺牲)

Sometimes showing your love includes sacrifice. An old saying says, "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. And there are hundreds of books filled with stories of people giving their lives for their country, family or friends. When you love someone dearly, no sacrifice is too great. _______ , laying down your life doesn’t actually mean losing your life. It can mean giving up something you want for someone else. We can all choose to sacrifice our needs and wants for the sake of (为了 ...) others. Learning how to love means learning how to be selfless.

Love is sharing

Some might say that love is giving. But I believe it goes beyond giving because love is about _______ . So I like to say, Love is sharing! When you have a lot of love in your heart, you want to share it with the ones you love. Love is the reason why our parents share their life experiences. Love is the reason why our friends share their joys and sorrows. Love is the reason why our teachers share their knowledge and friendship. Love comes from everyone around you.

What’s love like? It is just like the _______ . We can’t see it, but we can always feel it.
