Hello, everyone. My name is Peter Black. I am an Englishman, but I am in China now. In my family, there are six people—my parents, my wife, my son, my daughter and I. I always miss them. So my wife takes a lot of their photos.

Look, these are my parents. They are old, but they are very healthy(健康的). They often help my wife look after(照顾) my kids, because my wife has to go to work. In the next photo, there is a boy and a girl. The boy’s name is Jim. He is my son. He is six years old. He goes to school in London. Right, the girl is my daughter. She is Mary. She is four years old. She phones me every evening. But she doesn’t call me Dad. She always calls me by my first name. She only does this to me, not to her mother.

I tell her she should (应该) call me Daddy, Dad, or Father. When she asks why, I don’t know what to say. Who can tell me how to tell my daughter? If you have a good way, please call me at 8769868. Thanks.
