The Man I Respect Most
「我最尊敬的人」

　　My father is the man I respect most. Stern as he may be, he never fails to show his care and consideration. Once I broke a neighbor's window. Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately. When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened.

　　I could only tell him the truth. Rather than scold me, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor. I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens. How lucky I am to have such a good father!

　　我父亲是我最尊敬的人。虽然他可能严厉了一点，但他无时无刻不表现出他的关心和体贴。有一次我打破邻居窗户的玻璃。因为看到附近没有人在场，我立刻就跑掉。当父亲回家时，他注意到我的不安，因而询问我发生了什么事。

　　我只好告诉他实话。他不但没责骂我，反而称赞我的诚实，并鼓励我向邻居道歉。从这件事我就了解到，父亲不仅照顾我们的健康，他也教导我们如何成为好公民。我有这样一位好父亲真是太幸运了！
