9 A father has a great influence on his children, so the qualities that a father has are really important. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the important qualities you expect of a good father.

I suppose a good father should have the following qualities. First, he should be a pillar of strength for the family. No matter what happens he is the one that the family can rely on. And he must be hard-working and optimistic about life. Second, he ought to have a strong sense of responsibility. Whatever he does, he should think about the family. He

should also spend as much time as possible with his family no matter how busy he is/ In my opinion, a good father is one who cares about his children and knows how to communicate with his children. And he should know how to educate children, that is, to praise, not always scold and criticize them. What’s more, he should set a good example for his children to follow. He shouldn’t have any bad habits such as smoking, heavy drinking and gambling.

10 Write a paragraph of around 80 words telling about one aspect of your parent’s character.

My Generous Father

My father is a most generous man and is always ready to help

someone in need. Although he earns a small salary, he never turns away those friends and neighbors who come to him for financial help. He even treat strangers very generously. One time, he met a pitiable-looking old man in the street who said he couldn’t go home because he had lost all the money he had with him. Father took the old man to our home, gave him a meal and then sent him home with some money. Father’s generosity has earned him a lot of friends, as well as a good reputation.
