Dear Dad,

I’m writing to you because it’s not easy to talk about it. I still   1  clearly how my uncle died two years ago. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up a lot of information about smoking and I found out something   2 .

You know that smoking is bad for your  3  and can cause cancer. I’ve learnt that it causes many other   4  too. Do you know that over ten thousand people die from smoking every year in Britain?

When mum asks you to smoke   5 , you think she’s angry. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the   6  of smoke in the house. When you smoke, it’s also   7  for mum and me. In other words, when we   8  in your smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves.   9 , we can also get disease. Doctors are finding that more and more   10  are falling ill because of the others’ smoking.

I know that it’s very   11  to stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him   12  help. We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to   13  your own life. We don’t want to   14  you because you are so important to us.   15  you, who can help me with my maths homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!

Your daughter,

Meimei
