高考英语二轮专题训练 书面表达49 江苏省扬州市2017届高三5月适应性考试英语 【题文】读写任务（满分 25 分） Dear God, Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers or/and fathers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers or/and fathers until it was too late to tell them. I am blessed with my dear mother and father who are still alive. I appreciate them more each day. My mother and father do not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what extraordinary people they are. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in their presence, but they flow easily from my pen. How does a person begin to thank his mother or/and father for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a baby, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? How does a person thank a mother or/and a father for continuing to be a mother or/and a father? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying: "I told you so", when she/he could have uttered these words dozens of times? I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her/him as richly as she/he deserves and to help me live up to the example she/he has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother or/and father look(s) in mine. |
