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 between us began to grow.He had done so much for me but I always take it for granted.
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 is had been a long tome since we got close last.Suddenly I felt a little shamed.I realized that I had ignored(忽略)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 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 interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone.”
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, “Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn't know what to say.Finally I rushed with tear 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 anxiously, 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.

Good morning.I’m Chen Hua.Here’s my culture report for today, Monday:
A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock.The film is Pirates of the Carribean.It’s a fantastic adventure film.Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars.They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.
The story is about an old ship.It sails around the Carribean islands.Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold.Then they come fare to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them.There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous.They also saves Keira Knightly.She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man.The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.
The film isn't true to life, but it' s very exciting, and some of it is very funny.It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting.But except for that, it's an excellent film.U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now.I' m sure you' 11 enjoy it.It' s showing all week.
