　　Dear Dad,

　　I'm writing this letter to you because it's too difficult to talk about it．I can't stop thinking about my uncle and how he died．In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking．I've looked up a lot of information about smoking and I've found out some disturbing(令人不安的)things．

　　You already know that smoking is bad for your breathing and can cause cancer．I've found out that it causes many other illnesses as well．Did you know that over 100,000 people die from smoking every year in Britain?It's the second biggest cause of death in the world．I don't want you to be one of these people．

　　When Mum asks you to smoke outside, you think she's just being difficult．Well, it's true that she doesn't like the smell of smoke in the house and on our clothes．It's not very pleasant．However, when you smoke, it's also bad for me and Mum．In other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it's like we're smoking ourselves．As a result, we can get diseases as well．Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people's smoking．

　　I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking but you mustn't give in(屈服)to it．Please see the doctor and ask him for help．We will do anything we can to help you．You must try to save your own life．You are important to us and we don't want to lose you．Who else can I ask to help me with my maths homework or fix my bike?Please don't smoke!

Your loving daughter,

Kate

　　I used to be very close to my father when I was a child．He gave me almost everything I wanted．Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort．He was everything to me．

　　Time flies like a bird．As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father．The gap between us began to grow．He had done so much for me but I always take it for granted．

　　Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike．I was tired and fell asleep on his back．Later my mother said he was very happy because is had been a long tome since we got close last．Suddenly I felt a little shamed．I realized that I had ignored(忽略)him a lot during the last few years．

　　The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended that I couldn't hear him．At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream．” I got so angry with him for interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone．”

　　As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor．Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “Who else treats you as well as he does?”

　　I was shocked and didn't know what to say．Finally I rushed with tear all over my face．I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy．A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy's motorbike．He was looking for me anxiously, but he didn't notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush．

　　I didn't return home until 10 a．m．The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me．Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes．“Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last．Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me．
