I’m sorry to occupy your precious time，and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays．I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason．First of all，as it is known to people，pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot．What’s more，it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment，where makes people quite uncomfortable．Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people．The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention．Take all these factors into consideration，I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this．
Yours truly，
Wang Lin

He and then went on，"I remember the day when I said 'No' ”
It was the first time I had ever talked to him that ，and he had this surprised look on his face．
I said，'Dad，I'm too for a goodbye kiss．'
My Dad looked at me for the longest time，and his eyes started to tear up．I had never seen him ．He turned and looked out the windshield(挡风玻璃)．'You're right，' he saiD． 'You are a big boy．．．．a man．I won't kiss you anymore．'”
Frank got a sad look on his face，and the tears began to in his eyes，as he spoke．"It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back．”
Tears were running down Frank’s cheeks．He spoke again．"Guys，you don't know wha would .to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek． to feel his rough old face．to smell the ocean on him． to feel his arm around my neck．
I wish I had been a man then．If I had been a ，I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss．"
