Mom， I Miss You！

You left home after you had a fight with my father and never returned① ever since. At that time I was only two. From then on， Father began to drink and smoke every day. When I was four， he died in an accident. I have lost him.

I live with my grandparents. They have taken lots of trouble to bring me up. When I saw other childrens parents to take② them to the park， to the school or to the cinema， how I envy them！

In dreams， I always see you and hear your voice. Youre a nice woman. I throw myself to you and you take me in your arms closely. How happy I am！ But when I awake from the dreams， everything is still like what it was before. Im a girl without mothers love.

I asked grandma where you had been③ and when you would be back. She said she didnt know， but she said if I were a good child， you would be back soon. So I have been studying hard. Im one of the best students in the school. Teachers and students all like me. I have been expecting you return④ every day， but every day I get disappointed.

Mom， do you still remember me？ Do you know my wish？ Will you please be back soon？ I miss you， Mom.

1. 優点：

这是一篇情真意切的文章，文中多处使用复合句，给文章增色不少。这篇文章告诉广大父母：自己的言行要对孩子负责，不要让孩子过早失去父母的爱。

2. 需要修改的地方：

①“never returned”改为“have never returned”。“ever since”意为“从那以后”，常与现在完成时连用。

②“to take”改为“take”。“see sb. do sth.”为习惯搭配，意为“看见某人做了某事”。

③“had been”改为“had gone”。“have been to”表示“曾经去过某地（现在已不在那里了）”;“have / has gone to”意为“到某地去了（表示到了某地或正在去某地的途中）”。

④“return”改为“to return”。“expect sb. to do sth.”是习惯搭配，意为“期待某人做某事”。
