There are many different kinds of love. For me there is a kind of special love，which I call “soft love”. Now I'd like to thank my parents for giving me so much soft love，especially my father. He has a special way of communicating with me.
My father works at a university as a teacher. He is very strict with students. He devotes (把……奉献)himself to his work，all of his students love him. At home he is both a good husband and a good father. He is strict with me，too，so I am afraid of him. There is one thing that I will never forget.
At the end of the second term of senior one，my scores were lower than ever before，I was very worried about it. My father came to my room and saw the report card，at that time，I was afraid that my father would scold (责骂)me as usual. But surprisingly，he left the room without any remarks (话语).I was frightened (害怕的).
The next day，when I got up，I found a letter. I opened it，it was written by my father，“Dear daughter， I know that studying is hard work，but you won't give it up，will you? I believe that you can be the best. Now I want to give you three pieces of advice. 1. Where there is a will，there is a way. 2. Practice makes perfect. 3. It's no use crying over spilt milk.” After reading the letter，I couldn't say a word. So I wrote，“Father，I can do it! Thank you!”
I think that the love between my father and I is special love that brings us even closer!
Erin and her friend Amy flew into San Diego last week. They are both in their mid-20s，and both are nurses who live in Georgia. It was their first visit to California，and they were excited.
They headed north to Los Angeles. They visited many places in Hollywood. They hoped they would see lots of actors and actors' homes. If they got lucky，they would get some autographs and maybe even some photographs of them standing next to a movie star.
But they were disappointed. A car took them on a tour past actors，homes，but no actors were outside their homes. The homes themselves were hardly visible (看得见的).They were often hidden by tall gates，fences (栅栏)，walls or trees. Later，however， Erin and Amy were able to put their hands and feet into the handprints and footprints of movie stars at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
Erin and Amy drove to Burbank the next day to watch the taping of a Jay Leno show， but the line was so long that they decided to give up. Instead they went to a mall and had a great time shopping. They flew back to Georgia with souvenirs，photos，and wonderful memories. Amy said，”Next time，we're not leaving until we see some real live actors!”

It was really a big day for Mrs. Smith. Her husband，an ordinary office worker gave her ten pounds for her birthday-ten pretty pound notes. She could at last buy the beautiful thing she had always wanted. So the day after her birthday Mrs. Smith went shopping. She got on a bus and sat down next to an old lady. After a while she noticed that the old lady's bag was open. Inside it，she found a wad of pound notes like the one her husband had given her the day before. She quickly looked into her own bag－the notes were gone. Mrs. Smith was sure that the old lady sitting next to her must have stolen them. She thought she would not have to call the police as she didn't like getting people into trouble. So she decided to take back the money from the lady's bag and say nothing about it. She looked around the bus to make sure nobody was watching， then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's handbag， took out the notes and put them into the bag of her own.
When she returned home that evening，she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought. “How did you pay for it?” he asked in surprise. “With the money you gave me for my birthday，of course. ““Oh， what's that then?” he asked，as he pointed to a wad of pound notes on the table.
