There are many different kinds of love. For me there is a kind of special love，which I call “soft love”. Now I'd like to thank my parents for giving me so much soft love，especially my father. He has a special way of communicating with me.

    My father works at a university as a teacher. He is very strict with students. He devotes (把……奉献)himself to his work，all of his students love him. At home he is both a good husband and a good father. He is strict with me，too，so I am afraid of him. There is one thing that I will never forget.

    At the end of the second term of senior one，my scores were lower than ever before，I was very worried about it. My father came to my room and saw the report card，at that time，I was afraid that my father would scold (责骂)me as usual. But surprisingly，he left the room without any remarks (话语).I was frightened (害怕的).

    The next day，when I got up，I found a letter. I opened it，it was written by my father，“Dear daughter， I know that studying is hard work，but you won't give it up，will you? I believe that you can be the best. Now I want to give you three pieces of advice. 1. Where there is a will，there is a way. 2. Practice makes perfect. 3. It's no use crying over spilt milk.” After reading the letter，I couldn't say a word. So I wrote，“Father，I can do it! Thank you!”

    I think that the love between my father and I is special love that brings us even closer!
