It wasn't long after that when my dad went out to （44）B and never came back．It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home except Dad．He had a big family to feed．

7．The beauty of love
Love is a song with a beautiful melody to keep you warm．Love is a poem with simple but moving and touching words．Love is a painting with colorful patterns to make you cheerful．（111）D
Since I was born，my mother has been taking care of me without any complaint．（112）B she is aging over the years．Now I have learnt more and more from her．This love，between mother and I，I will always be grateful for．
Since I entered school，I have many friends around me．Friendship is a source of pleasure．
（110）A We share tears and happiness．This love，between friends，makes me more mature．
When I meet with difficulties in my life you live，many warm-hearted people will give me a hand，excepting nothing in return（114）C
（115）E A saying goes that if you love the life you live，you will live a life of love．It is certain that love is the beautiful blossom of the soul．Where there is great love，there are always miracles．The delivery of love among people will make our world become a heaven，I believe．
