Dad is a liar definitely.
He never tells the truth about anything _36_, or anything that he thinks is bad to me, even though I _37_ that I don’t mind hearing these things.
He is the kindest man I have ever met, who never _38_ others, as well as the _39_ man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I _40_ home from college and asked Dad how his _41_ was getting on, he would always reply, “Oh, couldn’t be _42_!” When I asked my mum the same question on the phone, _43_, she honestly told me every _44_ with Dad’s business. I didn’t blame Dad for his _45_. I felt a deep sympathy for him.
Dad is a miser, undoubtedly.
I hardly see Dad wear _46_ clothes. In fact, his closet is half empty. Even in this half , two-thirds is occupied by Mum’s clothes and the other _47_ belongs to him. I urged him to buy some new clothes, _48_ he simply shook his head, “The old clothes are still good enough.” Were they? I saw _49_ in them!
It _50_ my heart up when I saw Dad _51_ terribly with his hand covering his mouth. When the pains became unbearable, he _52_ took some pills.
So it surprised _53_ when the day came that Dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered around him. I knelt by his beside, tears filling my eyes.
Dear Dad, you’ve been _54_ yourself too hard, which you should not have. I know I might as well _55_ a river to flow backward as hope to talk you out of working so hard. But I still want to say, “Dad, take better care of yourself!”
