I believe my father is a talented man./He is decisive and efficient in doing things./By his own talents and efforts,/he has secured for the family a good social position /and a comparatively rish life. /People of all fields come to my house ,/and from them I have gained lots of valuable social experience /and seen a lot of joys and sorrows of the world./

But at home he is a harsh parent ./He has high expectations of me ./When I am idling away my time ,/I can see that it hurts him deeply ./When I am doing something great, /such as writing a book , /he is more than excited ./With such a father , /I always remind myself that I must go on and on ,never give up .
