Dear Dad,
On this date of your 50th birthday, Mom gave me the letter you wrote me when I was born 18 years ago. In your letter, you (wish) me to be strong-minded and successful. You were looking forward to (see) me fight for my future bravely and do well for myself and others.
After reading this letter, I feel quite (shock) at your expectation on me. I also feel shamed for not having performed well to meet your demand. I still remember when I was in primary school, I failed (apply) myself to studying. I was addicted computer games. As a consequence, I soon became the last one in my class. You didn't abuse me at all. On the contrary, you taught me that studying was most important object at the moment and encouraged me to study hard. Only when I have read your letter did I realize that I behaved so (bad) at that time.
I can't help (express) my gratitude and sending my best wishes to you. Wish you health and (happy). I promise that I will spare no effort to satisfy your demand of being a brave and (success) person.
