To be chosen，we had to turn in an example of our （32）B．I wrote an article
about the joys of summer，and showed it to my father，a talent poet he read it and frowned （皱眉）．
"It's okay．"my father said，taking out a pencil"But how about changing this sentence to…"And as a result，he rewrote the whole piece-without me，for 1 never said anything to （33）B him．
