A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her．She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up．She was tired of fighting and struggling．It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose．
Her father，a chef，took her to the kitchen，filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high Soon the three pots came to a boil．In one he placed carrots，in the other he placed eggs，and the last he placed ground coffee beans．He let them sit and boil，without saying a word．
The daughter impatiently wondered what he was trying to do．In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire．He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl．He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl．Then he ladled（盛）the coffee out and placed it in a cup．Turning to her he asked．"Darling what do you see？"
"Carrots，eggs，and coffee．"she replied．
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots．She did and noted that they were soft．He then asked her to take an egg and break it．After pulling off the shell，she observed the hard-boiled age．Finally，he asked her to sip the coffee．She smiled，as she tasted its rich aroma（芳香）．
Humbly，she asked．"What does it mean Father？"
He explained．"Each of them faced the same adversity，however each reacted differently．The carrot went in strong，hard．But after going through boiling water，it softened and became weak．The egg was fragile．A thin outer shell protected a liquid center．But after sitting through the boiling water，its inside became hardened．The coffee beans are unique however．After they were in the boiling water，they had changed the water"

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
