十二張卡片
My teen-age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer. Her grandfather gave her 12 post cards .
“Here， write us a few lines every month，” he said.
Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived：
“Dear Jennifer，
Life is a series of stages.
As a child， I looked forward to becoming a teenager-that happened.
As a teen-ager ，I looked forward to becoming a young man-that happened.
As a young man， I looked forward to meeting a young woman， in love and becoming a married man-that happened.
As a married man， I looked forward to becoming a father-that happened.
As a father， I looked forward to becoming a grandfather to beautiful ，intelligent grandchildren-that happened.
Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-that hasn't happened yet.
Yours Sincerely“

十二張卡片
一個夏天，我十多歲的女兒在她祖父母家過了幾周。她準備回家時，祖父給了她十二張卡片。
“每月給我們來個短信，”他說。
幾個月過去了，可卡片一直放在那兒沒用――直到有一天來了這樣一封信：
“親愛的詹妮芙：
生活是一系列階段組成的。
還是個孩子的時候，我期待著成為一個青少年――我如愿以償了。
還是個年輕人的時候，我期待著遇到一個年輕的女人，戀愛、結婚――我如愿以償了。
結了婚，我便期待著成為一個父親――我如愿以償了。
作為父親，我期待著成為一個祖父，有漂亮、聰明的孫兒孫女――我也如愿以償了。
接著，我期待著有一天他們能給我寫信――我卻還沒有如愿以償。
練習參考答案：
