Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on(巴结) him. They knew it was good for their business. Now the officer got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs（楼上） at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to a doctor. "Stop eating much fat(脂肪) and sugar, Mr. Jenkins," said the doctor, "or it will be worse for your health!" It was difficult for the officer to do it. He didn't do as the doctor said. He found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital. "You must lose weight(减肥), sir," said the doctor, " unless you want to die soon!" "Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please?" "You must do some exercise first." "Which exercise?" "To move your head from side to side when you are invited to dinner!"

My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17，but the real gift was what he taught me about life through this car. very month, on the first day, he asked me to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn't pay， I couldn't drive my car（or "his car"，as he often reminded me（所有权））.My dad was（and still is）a successful businessman，＄150 was more than I usually made every month.I had to work harder. Although I was unhappy about my father's request，I always made sure to give him ＄150 on the first day of each month.

The day I graduated from high school，my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk.

"Kevin，"he gave me a white box and said，"here is your graduation present. To be honest，this is actually a present you gave yourself."I opened the box carefully，and almost started crying when I realized he just gave me ＄3，600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years.Every payment I gave him went straight into this box.By asking me to pay him every month，how to use my money and how to be responsible.My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.

Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep，as my college graduation gift.

Let me tell you about my hometown. I live in Kinsale. It may be one of the smallest towns in England.

The fish restaurant is very good. It takes ten minutes to get there from my house. It cooks the best fish for people. The food is delicious to eat. So you can see many people from different countries in the fish restaurant.

My town is very beautiful because it is near the sea. In summer it is very hot and you can go swimming in the sea. People here like swimming very much. There are three small shops and you can buy your friends many things there. You can pay a little for them. The big shop is next to the post office. Things there are expensive.

The people in my town are friendly. It is easy for you to make friends with them. If you feel sick, there is a hospital with doctors and nurses. They are always helping anyone in the small town.
