Passage

My Father

Everyone has a father. My father is of middle height. He is stout and strong, with a severe look on his face and with keen expressive eyes. On first sight you may feel he is hard to approach. In fact he is very kind and considerate.

I believe my father is a talented man. He is decisive and efficient in doing things. By his own talents and efforts, he has secured for the family a good social position and a comparatively rich life. People of all fields come to my house, and from them I have gained lots of valuable social experience and seen a lot of joys and sorrows of the world.

But at home, he is a harsh parent. He has high expectations of me. When I am idling away my time, I can see that it hurts him deeply. When I am riding something great, such as writing a book, he is more than excited. With such a father, I always remind myself that I must go on and on, never give up.

Questions:

1. What does the author’s father look like?

2. Are they leading a good life?

3. Does the author love his father?
