It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was monitor and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building One morning my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father?

Hmm…I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad.

My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).

The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed(失望) at the same time. The second prize was announced.  I t  was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,Dad put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life.’’

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

Many people like to travel by plane , but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from  the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours  to go out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains  are safe. Railway stations  are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk  around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I  also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. also you can carry many things with you in a car.

There are many different kinds of cars in the world. My aunt thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. She says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with her.
