My Dad's Best Flower
I remember my first home was
a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my
mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing
in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She
was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The
balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations
(康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink
and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so
much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking
care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing
him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that
balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the
potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his
improvement operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and
with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then
he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut
with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then
to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said
to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, "Do
not touch Daddy's flowers." For us it was a fascinating experience to watch
how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown
big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.

答案:Paragraph 1: One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father's arrival and his response. Paragraph 2: When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, "You are my best flowers!"
