Dear Dad,

I’m writing to you because it’s not easy to talk about it. I still   31   clearly how my uncle died two years ago. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up a lot of information about smoking and I found out something   32  . You know that smoking is bad for your  33   and can cause cancer. I’ve learnt that it causes many other   34   too. Do you know that over ten thousand people die from smoking every year in Britain?

When mum asks you to smoke   35  , you think she’s angry. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the   36   of smoke in the house. When you smoke, it’s also   37   for mum and me. In other words, when we   38   in your smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves.   39  , we can also get disease. Doctors are finding that

more and more   40   are falling ill because of the others’ smoking.

I know that it’s very   41   to stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him   42   help. We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to   43   your own life. We don’t want to  44   you because you are so important to us.  45   you, who can help me with my maths homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!

Your daughter,

Meimei
