2. My father really dislikes my stepfather,Mike,and is always calling him names,saying what a "good-for-nothing" guy he is.Mike knows about his name-calling because sometimes when my father comes to pick me up,he'll say inconsiderate things right in front of my stepfather like, "Is what's-his-name going to pick you up after the game,or am I supposed to bring you home?"
Even though it's rude,my stepfather doesn't hold it against my father. "I'll pick up Shawn at 3:30," he'll answer.
Nor does Mike make a big deal out of my father's inconsiderate attitude towards him. He lets the comments go.
I ask my stepfather if the way my father treats him bothers or upsets him. "Oh,not really," he says. "You don't always have to be right,as long as you do what's right." My father's taunts(嘲笑) don't bother Mike because he likes himself.My dad's opinion doesn't change the way Mike feels about himself.
I really admire Mike.He's so good to my mother.And what a good father he is to me!I appreciate all the things he does for me,like teaching me to throw a fastball and helping me with my homework without becoming impatient like my father does.Mike even volunteered at my school's carnival(狂歡節(jié)) this year.No other stepfathers were there.
Though I would never tell my real father that I think my stepfather is one of the nicest guys I know,he is.I'm happy to make Mike my stepfather.Sometimes,I even call Mike "Dad" because he acts like a dad to me.In my eyes,my stepfather is a really great guy.
