About a week before my dad died, he fell into a coma(昏迷). The nurses said even though Dad did not reply, he could still hear me.
The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang,my dad gave a big smile, and clapped (鼓掌).

VII书面表达
Liu Wei, an armless piano player, has a very special experience.
He lost his arms in an accident when he was 10, but he didn't give up his dream of being a pianist. He tried to practise playing the piano with his feet. Finally he realized his dream in“China's Got Talent'”.
As a student, I've learnt a lot from his story. We may meet a lot of difficulties in our future life, but we should believe that our dreams will come true by working hard. No matter how hard life is, we won't fail unless we give up our hope.
