Dear Dad,
I’m writing to you because it’s not easy to talk about
it. I still 1 clearly how my uncle died two years
ago. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up a lot
of information about smoking and I found out something 2 .
You know that smoking is bad for your 3 and can cause
cancer. I’ve learnt that it causes many other 4 too.
Do you know that over ten thousand people die from smoking every year in
Britain?
When mum asks you to smoke 5 ,
you think she’s angry. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the 6 of
smoke in the house. When you smoke, it’s also 7 for
mum and me. In other words, when we 8 in your
smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves. 9 , we can
also get disease. Doctors are finding that more and more 10 are
falling ill because of the others’ smoking.
I know that it’s very 11 to
stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him 12 help.
We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to 13 your
own life. We don’t want to 14 you because you are so
important to us. 15 you, who can help me with my maths
homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!
Your daughter,
Meimei
