My darling Grandfather, I don’t think I could ever find the words to describe the positive (积极的) influence you have had on my life. I’m writing to tell you how important you are in my life. Grandpa, I couldn’t imagine where I would be now without you and Grandma. Through all the difficulties, you two have been like a rock in my life and a peaceful island in a big lonely ocean. You have given me power in my life. Seeing you two again was always like a homecoming. When I came to visit, your loving arms welcomed me and we had wonderful times together talking and walking. You have shown me that there are men who are caring and good. I remember when I was a little girl, how you held me tightly (紧紧地) when I couldn’t sleep. You always spoke kindly to me. You have shown me what a family man is—a man who gives what is best for his children. You always gave, even when it was not easy for you or when you were tired and unwell. You have also shown me what a caring husband is—a man who loves his wife as much as he can. We know that no one is perfect, but in my whole life I never heard you raise your voice at Grandma or treat her disrespectfully (不尊重地).

25、 McDull(麦兜)is a well-known cartoon animation image(动画形象)in Hong Kong, China. He is a little pink pig who lives in Hong Kong. He is not bright, but he works hard. His dream is to make his mother proud of him. For more than a decade, McDull's cute animated pig image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a national sprout(国民萌物).
You probably know him. He's McDull. Most children are familiar with him. However, do you know the artist behind this lovely pig?
Let's meet Alice Mak(麦家琪).
Mak is a shy artist in Hong Kong. Ever since she was a kid, she has liked drawing. In college, Mak decided to study illustration.
At that time, there were few illustrators(插画家)in Hong Kong. Mak, however, was lucky. Her teacher introduced her to lots of world famous illustrators. Mak wrote letters to them to ask about their opinions about her work. The young artist learned a lot from them.
Over the years, Mak has created lots of interesting characters. Some of them, like McDull, brought great success to her. The artist, however, is not interested in her popularity. She doesn't like giving speeches. She doesn't like talking to strangers either. At most times, she refuses to be interviewed. As a result, some people describe her as an unfriendly person.
Instead of preparing for interviews, Mak spends most of her time drawing. "To me, drawing is like a language," she says. "If I don't know how to say something to you, I will draw it."
Mak, the creator of McDull, can also be called "the mother of McDull". This person who has always liked to dream in a simple world doesn't seem to grow up until she becomes a wife and still looks like a lovely girl. She was born for comics, for McDull.

27、Misadventure in English
Last week, our forum (论坛)asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. Here are some of our favourite posts.
Sophie
When I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre. I asked a lady where the shoes were. She said they were on the first floor. I went upstairs. But I couldn’t find any. I thought she gave me the wrong information. Then, I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.
Yancy.
I went to a summer school in Manchester. One day, the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn’t teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Why did she eat a frog? Then I learned that it means someone’s throat is dry or blocked. How funny!
Julien
My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was “wicked (邪恶的)”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very strange. Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man? Guess what? When speaking informally, “wicked” means “very nice”.
Zheng Xu
I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China. I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper. But my teacher gave me “Not bad!” Not bad? There weren’t any mistakes! Actually, British people use “not bad” when things are pretty good! I got a good comment!

Some men are excellent dads but they are not the o【3】you'll see on posters for Father's Day: they are not the smiling men full of energy, but i【4】,they are the tired and underpaid(薪水不高的)men.
My good father was one of these exhausted men. He spent 12 hours working hard every day w【5】complaint so that we could live in a house and not in an apartment. I never thought he would show up at school plays I was in or attend the award events. Although my father didn't feel it necessary to be p【6】to show his support, he encouraged me whole—heartedly. I a【7】his encouragement in the way he offered it and learned to play in public: it wasn't his applause(掌声)I was looking for,after all, because I knew l already had it. To him, I had n【8】to prove.
A good father loves unconditionally(无条件地)and allows you to understand him by actions. A b【9】dad always tells you your success is his success: your failure is his failure and he's not there as a support or a guide but as a j【10】. To my great father.
