a father's back

I read one of the prize essay of the 57th writing contest for elementary and junior high school students in a newspaper this morning. The writer thought what an ideal father should be at home through the dialogue with his father who seemed to live only for his work.

You can see the key conversations which pulled father's real feelings. Though he sometimes was offended at father's sayings, I found that their conversations constructed their reliability. I also found that an one-way thought or refusal of talking would become the barrier to understand each other.

Things will become relative through conversations. If you only concentrate the father's first reply, you will misunderstand him as an old Hickory. However, his real intension manifested itself by his opinion towards child-care leave and what he felt the most painful.

I believe that we are requested to develop the above communication skills and don't need to be eloquent if we could.
