14．Season two of Where Are We Going，Dad？A reality show on Hunan TV is even more fun and colorful than the first．We've been able to watch different kinds of father-son/daughter relationships unfold．This time around we see the families at their most happy and awful moments．

Dad：Huang Lei，43 Daughter：Huang Yici （Duo Duo），8	Huang Lei，among his many jobs-actor，director，singer and lecture-is also a father．He couldn't be more patient when it comes to take care of his daughter Duo Duo．As the oldest kid in the show，Duo Duo is smart，thoughtful and wise beyond her years．Together，they're the pair with the most positive energy on the show．
Dad：Lu Yi，38 Daughter：Lu Yuxuan （Bei'r），5	As the most stylish father in the show，actor Lu Yi certainly knows how to look handsome．We often see him wearing fashionable clothes，and matching outfits with his daughter Bei'r．But as a dad，sometimes his ability is not equal to his willing．Fortunately，Bei'r is an obedient child who behaves well．
Dad：Francis Ng，53 Son：Feynman Ng，5	These two have the traditional father-son relationship，where the father is serious and the son is obeyed by only a glance． "A tough man with a tender heart"is the best way to describe this actor from Hong Kong，especially when we see him giving Feynman encouragement and support．Feynman is s a strong and independent boy who always tries to hold back his tears in front of the camera．
Dad：Yang Wei，34 Son：Yang Wenchang，4	As a father，the former world champion gymnast isn't as powerful as he was in competition．Yang has showed us his soft，patient and quiet side．Yang's good life skills make it quite easy for him to look after his son on his own．Yang Wenchang，on the other hand，is a perfect example of the saying"like father，like son"．
Dad：Gary Chaw，34 Son：Joe Chaw，5 Daughter：Grace Chaw，3	It is the most dramatic group on the show．Malaysian singer Gary Chaw may not be so great at parenting，but he certainly knows how to play with his children．The brother and sister are sweet，bright and lovely．Even Gary Chaw tears up a few times，this are what family is for：Family laughs together，cries together and shares with each other their most memorable moments．

13．You must have dreams and goals in your life．To succeed，you need to make your dream become a buring desire．If you look at the successful people in the world，you'll find the only thing they have in common is that they want something and they go to get it．These people have different education and backgrounds．But they all have a burning desire to succeed．
When I was new in sales，I had become one of the top salesmen in my company．I worked hard every day and dreamed about becoming a manager．After 18 months，I applied for the position but got the answer，"You are a valuable salesman，sorry．"I was very disappointed．At last I realized that it was up to me if I was going to be a manager．I started working hard again，harder than ever before．Within 5months I became a manager successfully．The only reason why I got the position was that I wanted it very much．
Anything you dream about can be yours if you want it．Sooner or later your dream will come true and you will have what you have wanted．

So he went up and asked，"How much is each kilo？"and the shop keeper said，"Two rupees（卢比）．"Two rupees in India was nothing．So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it．But after he ate some of it，oh，my god!his eyes watered，his mouth watered and burnt，and his face became red．He jumped up and down，saying，"Ah!Ah!Ah!"

5．When I was growing up in America，I was ashamed of （感到难为情） my mother's Chinese English．Because of her Chinese English，she was often treated unfairly．People in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her．
My mother realized that she was poor at English．When I was fifteen，she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she．I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her．One time I had to call her stockbroker（股票经纪人）．I said in an adolescent（青少年的） voice that was not very certain，"This is Mrs．Tan．"My mother was standing beside me saying，"Why he doesn't send me check，already two weeks late．"And then，in perfect English I said："I'm getting rather worried．You agreed to send the check two weeks ago，but it hasn't arrived．"My mother then talked more loudly．"What he want？I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss．"And so I turned to the stockbroker again，"I can't accept any more excuse．If I don't receive the check immediately，I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week．"

When I was a teenager，my mother's broken English embarrassed（令人尴尬） me．But now，I see it differently．To me，my mother's English is perfectly clear，perfectly natural．It is my mother tongue．Her language，as I hear it，is vivid，direct，and full of observation and wisdom．It was the language that helped me see things，express ideas，and the world．
