Dear Dad,

   Happy birthday to you!

On this special day, I’d like to talk to you   36   a special way.

I don’t think I’m good at   37   you my thought (想法)face to face with you, so I’m writing to show my deep love for you.

You aren’t a rich man or a famous person. But in my heart, you are one of the greatest   38   in the world. I’m   39   you.

You are   40   interested in fame and wealth (名和利). You do   41  things like paying bills on time, and working as a worker in your factory. The smile on your face shows you are happy with the family. You take good care of my grandparents. You help me with my schoolwork and do some shopping with Mom on Sundays.

In the past, I didn’t care   42   you were with me or not . Now I am sorry to say I   43   you the respect (尊重) before. But I am thankful for what you have done for me.

I am quite lucky that I have   44  a great father. I want to let you   45   how much I love. You are a successful as a son, a husband, a father, and a friend.

Yours,

David”
