W: Opera. It's only five minutes from here.
M: And is there an extra charge for children?
W: If the child is under 16 and we put an extra bed in your room, the charge will be 75 dollars. Do you want the room?
M: Yes, for one night—23rd July.
W: OK, sir. May I have your name, please?
M: Actually, it's for my wife and two daughters—Mrs Jean Gordon, Linda and Maggie.
W: Yes, sir. So you need an extra bed.
Text 10
We all like our parents, because they give us too much love and care. Now I'd like to talk about my dear dad. My dad is a “Mr Mom”. He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know why he was at home instead of mom, hut I considered myself very lucky because I was the only one of my friends who had dad around.
Dad did so many things for me during my elementary school years.
He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at our house instead of the usual bus stop two blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little older and tried to gain my independence, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wouldn't give up. In high school I was no longer able to go home for lunch, so I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little earlier and prepare it for me.
However, when I left home for college, I missed my dad every day after school. At that time I called him a lot. It didn't matter what he said; I just wanted to hear his voice.
