When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 19.

Generally compared to(与—相比) a mother's gentle love, a father represents qualities such as independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure(冒险).

    Also, caring fathers help their children get along with others. Fathers can lead their children into their social circle(社交圈). They can al so teach them how to behave and control their feelings.

    For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “my ability of leading and cooperating(合作) became better through games.” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.

    US actor Will Smith said that his father taught him important lessons through small things. His father once planned to tear(拆) down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You didn't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show.

    “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters”, British poet George Herbert once said. Do you agree?

    Welcome to England! The weather of England is very changeable. It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, warm, foggy or cold at any time of year. If it's raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is cooler than the south. Just be ready for any kind of weather.  

    In England, shops are usually open from 9: 00 in the morning to 5: 30 in the afternoon. On Sundays some shops are open from 10: 00 a. m. to 4: 00 P. m. But a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums or other places are open from 10: 00 a. m to 5: 00 P. m. You can go to the parks at any time.

    All the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don't forget this--traffic goes on the left. Be careful!

    Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with his toes(脚趾).

    One day when Liu Wei was only 10 years old, he played a game with some friends. He lost both his arms because of electricity (电). Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the accident. But soon he had to make a choice. “For people like me, there were only two choices. One was to give up all the dreams which would cause a quick death. The other was to work hard without arms to live an excellent life.” says Liu Wei.

    Liu's dream was to be a pianist. His excellent life included a show on China's Got Talent(中国达人秀) and a wonderful performance playing the beautiful Marriage D'amour with his two feet on the piano. Liu Wei learned to play the piano with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very hard. Many times he wanted to give it up, but his parents went on encouraging him and he wanted to make his parents proud.

    Maybe you can not believe that Liu Wei is able to play well only with his toes. The audience(观众) were deeply moved and very excited when they watched his performance.

    How do people find theirinner talent (潜力)? British author KennethRobinson talked about this at TED. He told the story of Gillian Lynne, a dancerand a choreographer (编舞者) who has worked on manyfamous musicals (音乐剧).

    Gillian Lynne never didwell in school as a child. She couldn't sit for long and often found herselfmoving restlessly (不安地). Her mother was reallyworried about her. She took Lynne to a doctor and told the doctor the problemsLynne was having in school. Then, the doctor said to Lynne, "I need tospeak to your mother first. Wait here."

    As they left the room,the doctor turned on the radio. He then said to Lynne's mother, "Juststand and watch her." Later they found Lynne start dancing to the music onthe radio.

    The doctor then turnedto Lynne's mother and said, "Mrs. Lynne, your daughter isn't sick. She's adancer. Take her to a dance school."

    So the mother did. Lynnefound there were many people like her in the new dance school. They all had tomove their bodies to think. Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School (皇家芭蕾学校) one of the world's greatest dance schools, and became a greatdancer, she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history, such asCats and Phantom of the Opera (《歌剧魅影》). It is hard to believethat years ago, somebody else would just put her on medication (药物治疗) and tell her to calm down.
