My daddy doesn’t know how to express love. It is my mum that makes everyone happy and calm in

our family; while Daddy only works day and night, never looking us in the face. But Mum makes a

wrongdoing list of us for Daddy scolding us. She was a spy!

  Once, I stole a candy. Daddy asked me to put it back and told the shopkeeper I would like to carry

loads for her. Well, Mum told him I was jut a child.

  I broke my leg on the playground. It’s still Mum that held me tightly in her warm arms. Daddy

drove us right to emergency room. He was asked to move the car away for that space was for

ambulance. Daddy got angry, “What do you think of it? A touring car?”

  On my birthday party, it was, again, my mum that took over the cake for me. And my dad was busy

with blowing balloons and setting the table and doing the housework.

  While looking over our album, my friends always ask, “What does your father look like?” God

knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many photos of my mum and me, pretty and lovely

photos.

  And I still remembered the day when dad taught me riding. I asked him not to let his hands away,

but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. I got angry and decided to get on the bike

and rode. But he smiled again.

  Mum wrote every letter to me while I was in college. He, except checks, did write a letter, but

extremely short, just a few words, saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son, my lawn grows

prettier than before.”

  Every time I phoned, it seemed that he wanted to talk, but he would say, “I will get your mum.”

  On the day of my wedding, Mum cried as if we would never meet again, while dad went out with a

nasal sound.

  From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been?” “When do you go home?” “Did you

get oil for your car?” “…” Dad really knows nothing about showing love. Unless…

  Maybe he showed while I didn’t notice.

.
This is my third day of the English camp here in Australia. It has been an amazing experience. I can’t believe how many different nationalities are here. Because we all speak so many different languages, we are forced to use our English in order to communicate. I really like Jim, the leader of my small group. There are only five other students in our group; Jim is very easy-going and is very good at getting all of us to chat and have fun together.
There are classes every day, but they are not boring, like my English classes at school. We learn new vocabulary every day and then must practice it immediately in conversation or in real life situations. The teachers are very professional---and very skilled at making us feel comfortable and eager to talk. The writing classes are the most difficult for me; the teacher is very strict, but I like her a lot. She has very high standards, but her step-by-step method leads us slowly but surely to her final goal.
I can feel myself growing a lot personally. In just three days, I have much more confidence than ever before to express myself in English. I’ve also noticed that I’m much more comfortable with different kinds of people---not nearly so shy as when I’m at home. It seems that being shy is just my way of hiding when I’m afraid. Here at the camp, the teachers and other leaders have kindly but firmly forced me to push past my fear. I’m learning a lot about myself. In fact, after staying here for only three days, I have realized that in the past I used my shyness as an excuse for my poor English. I’ve realized that I’m not really being shy, but I’m being afraid of embarrassment--- and my fear has hurt not only my English ability but my social skills. Here at the camp I’m not only learning English but also learning how not to be afraid.

69. What does the writer think of his English classes at school?
A. They are not boring.
B. They are dull.
C. They are interesting.
D. He likes them better than the classes in the English camp.
70. What can we learn about the writer from the passage?
A. His English used to be poor because of his shyness.
B. His English used to be poor because of his fear.
C. He doesn’t like English.
D. He is not as comfortable with different kinds of people as at home.
71. By saying “my fear has hurt not only my English ability but my social skills”, the writer means all of the following except ________.
