（D—David; N—Nick）
D: My father is a soldier, so he wasn’t at home much when I was young. I     saw him at home.
N: Did you miss him ?
D: I don’t think I did. When he was at home, he always made me do things like cleaning my shoes or
breakfast. My mother usually did all of the housework herself when he wasn’t at home.
N: Now you both seem so close!
D: Well, one thing showed me how much he loved me and helped me understand him better.
N: What      ?
D: One day in December last year, I was looking for my Christmas presents. I wanted to see them before Christmas Day. I went quietly into my   bedroom and looked under the bed. I didn’t find any presents, but instead, I found a photo album.
N: So ?
D: To my surprise, the photos inside were all of me . And they were all carefully kept. On the back of one photo there were some words written by my father, “ David, my dearest son , you are growing up some day to     us and start your new life .”
N: So, what have you learn about your father ?
D: His love for me is deep and strong, but it’s hard for him to talk to me about it.
