When I was a little girl, every time my dad was repairing something     1    (break), he would ask me to hold the hammer, and meanwhile, have a conversation with me. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care     2     his family.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. Several years later I bought a house,     3     my dad painted by himself for three days in the summer heat. All he asked was for me to talk to him. But I was always busy, unable     4    (find) any time for a conversation with him.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things we discussed lately. I was in     5     hurry, so our conversation was short. Later that day came a call     6    (say) my father was in hospital.     7    (immediate) I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was thinking about all the missing     8    (chance) to have a talk with my dad.

By the time I     9    (get) to hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad,     10    (he) deepest thoughts and dreams. After his death I learned more about him, and even more about myself.

Children, on the other hand, should let their parents know they appreciate what their parents     9     (do) for them. If possible, they can give their parents a gift on a special day or help with housework     10     a regular basis.

No healthy parent-child relationship is without conflict. But as long as parents and children make a joint effort, they can settle the conflict and enjoy their time together.

Second, we can achieve a better understanding and     6     (judge) through conversations with close and wise friends. It is easier for us to recognize others’     7     (weak) than our own. On the other hand, our friends are     8     (well) able to offer advice to us when we make important decisions.
