Question

Dad's Advice

When I finished my school education, I began to find a job. I was very happy because it was time to make my dream come true.

One evening, my father talked to me about what kind of ________I should look for. He wanted me to work for a big company and asked me to take his advice. But I really hoped to be a teacher. It was my dream. I didn't accept his ________. We shouted and didn't talk to each other. Even worse, I found it more and more difficult for us to say sorry as time went by.

A week later, I decided to break the ________ and make the first move. So I dialed (拨打) my father's number and began talking in a low voice, “Dad...I am ________. I shouldn't argue with you that day!”

There was a silence at the other end. After a while, he ________ in a low voice. “Well, that's all right, honey.”

I was surprised, and raised my voice a little, “Dad, I understand why you don't want me to be a teacher, but to be a teacher is my dream job. I hope you can also ________ me.”

From the other end of the line comes my father’s answer, “Sorry, honey. I shouldn’t force you to accept my idea. You have your own dream, I should ________ you.”

On hearing this, I was so ________ that my eyes were full of tears (眼泪). I realized that this special moment had taken our father-and-son relationship to a new level.

A few weeks later, my mother told me that my father had been ill for half a year. He would get an operation (手术). The operation was successful. My father was saved and ________ escaped (逃离，逃脱) death.

Many times I feel lucky that I ________ the first step to say sorry to my father. I can’t imagine how I can live the rest of my life if my father didn’t have a successful operation.
