When I was young, I remember my grandpa always said: "A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams." At that time, I didn't understand, 　1　 　I thought his words must be full of wisdom. So from then on my grandpa　 　2 　one of the people I most respected.

My grandpa was an English and physics professor. 　3　 　all kinds of books is his favourite pastime. There are at least three big bookshelves in his 　4 　, "A book that remains shut is but a block" is his motto.

Grandpa is reliable, humorous and kind. I like talking and studying 　5　 　him. He　 6　 　draw funny cards to teach me the English names of animals; or tell me stories to teach me simple life experiences. Grandpa is my 　7　 　teacher, a good teacher.

Grandpa is very 　8 　. He lives far from the supermarket, but he walks there. I tried walking with him once, but when I got there, I was exhausted. 　9　 　long distance it was!

Dear grandpa, you often tell me: "The wealth of the mind is the only wealth." "We are here to add what we can to life, not to get　 　10　 　we can from it." I hope you keep your good health and have wonderful moods every day!
