Some time ago I received a gift from both of my children. It had nothing to do with Father’s Day. Yet, at the same time it had everything to do with Father’s Day.

My son was studying in a high school in Colorado. He lived in the school. While we were talking on the phone he shared some wonderful news with me.

He said, “You know Dad, I am really happy with my life. I can’t think of a thing that I would change about the way that I grew up, or the way that my life is now. ”

My daughter was living with her mother in Northern California at that time. She said almost the same thing to me just a few days later.

Of course, I was delighted to hear this from both of them. And I told them both  how happy I was, not only that they were happy ,but that they expressed it to me.

And that was the gift that they were giving me ---with the heart to communicate. Certainly I hope for good news when I hear from them. But mostly I love that they will share their real feelings with me. Happy or sad, I love to be touched(感動(dòng))by their real thoughts and feelings.

For a child, Father’s Day isn’t really about giving Dad a gift. It is about understanding the love that fathers express when they help put food on the table, teach their child to ride a bike, cheer at a soccer game, etc.

For a father, Father’s Day isn’t so much about receiving gifts for a job well done. Remember, the greatest gift that we give our children is the real expression of our love. It isn’t enough for them to feel love inside ourselves: we need to express that love.

【小題1】The writer’s son said        on the phone.

Time is very important in our life. It      our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I       a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It's around my wrist with two silver bands.

    I received this gift on a gray-sky day. I went to the airport a.m. to       up my uncle Ali and take him to my house. However, I was late because I was       with my friends. Later, around 11:00 a.m. I      my uncle , but he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my house. I got to my house at 2:00 p.m. and felt       of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, "Peter, did you have       with your friends today? I answered, "Yes, Father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali." He said, "What you       was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your action." I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again. I promise." He said, "I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a       for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.

    I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is       to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
