My dad used to say he knew I would be a singer. When I was a baby, I was always singing loudly. Dad was a big sports fan, but he was happy I loved music.

After dinner, Dad would often ask me to sing. He always said I sang I Will Always Love You much better than Whitney Houston!

At every school concert he cheered me on. The look of pride on his face made me happy.

My life was full of concerts, singing lessons and laughter. Though my mum and brothers helped me, they did not share our love for music.

Our lives changed when Dad was told that he had cancer. We always hoped that something would happen and he would get better, but the doctors told us that they could not save him.

About a week before my dad died, he fell into a coma(昏迷). The nurses said even though Dad did not reply, he could still hear me.

The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang, my dad gave me a big smile, and clapped(鼓掌).

I will always remember that smile. I was so pleased to know that Dad had heard me sing one more song.

My dad died on May 14, 2000. It was hard to believe: he was so full of life. I don't know how to say how much I miss him.

Now I have all the memories of him and his beautiful smile deep inside my heart. I will always know that he is listening from his front row seat in heaven.

He used to say: “Sing from your heart.”

My dad has been and will always be my hero.

Susan was afraid of the dark. In fact, she couldn’t sleep without leaving the lights on. She wasn’t sure why she hated the dark so much. Her parents worried about her fear, and they always tried to find ways to help her. They left the lights on and then came back to turn them off after she fell asleep, but if she woke up she’d always start crying. They also tried giving her a flashlight to keep beside her, but she used up the batteries (电池) in one night.

Her father gave up, but her mother kept trying to think of new things. One day, she came home with a big smile on her face and two bags in her hands. “Guess what I’ve got?” she said to Susan.

“I have no idea,” answered Susan.

Susan’s mother took two things out of the bags. The first, Susan discovered, was a pair of slippers (拖鞋) that had flashing lights on them. The second was a pair of pajamas (睡衣) that could shine in the dark.

“Wow!” cried Susan. “These are amazing.” Even though it was only four o’clock in the afternoon, she tried them on quickly. They fit nicely, looked great, and they shone brightly!

“They’re the best thing in the world ever!” cried Susan. She was so excited that she went to sleep right after dinner. The lights on her slippers flashed, and the shine-in-the-dark pajamas kept her feeling safe all night.

It was several nights later before Susan realized she wasn’t scared of the dark anymore, not even if the slipper lights stopped flashing and her pajamas stopped shining.

At night，I used to watch TV, and read newspapers. I felt happy. Now，I feel stressed out. I have to do lots of homework. It's boring. I really miss the old days.
