One evening, I came across one of my son’s papers with a failing grade. I almost started to yell his name 31 I suddenly remembered he was in bed asleep. It was his 32 (nine) year of school and his academic career seemed to be in ruins, so I was full of anger. But I put the paper aside and turned to the 33 one, at the top of which were written “My dad”. It was a poem about me, 34 included the time I had to leave work to take him to the hospital because he had broken his finger. So careless was I 35 I had forgotten all about that. He talked about how I wrestled with him in the evenings and a good many other things. That paper was suddenly not nearly as important as it 36 (be) a few minutes before. I don’t know if he planned the poem next to the failing grade 37 (soften) the below, but it worked. Instead of 38 severe lecture, I talked to him about the poem as well as the 39 (fail) homework, and it began to make sense to me that I could include praise along 40 constructive criticism (批评).
