Change Recently, I lost 1 important family member, my grand mother. And because I'm living in a different city far away, and my father only informed me this bad news the day before her funeral, I didn't have the chance to see her for the last time. Even though, I'm not her favorite grand child, and we were not really close when I was little, and we didn't go along together, I feel sad, and feel sorry, especially for my father. My father is her oldest son, but not her dearest, even he was looking after her several years since she had getting old. She was always unhappy... My father lost his mom, for long gone, forever, disappeared. And what makes me panic is to think one day, I will lost my dad and my mom... I asked for 2 days off, just want to go out to see some place different, to breath some air, to break the ritual in the daily life. A little travel may makes me feel better, and many things need to be thought through. decision need to be made, I need some change in my life.

Recently, I lost one important family member, my grandmother. And because I'm living far away in a different city, and my father only informed me of this bad news the day before her funeral, I didn't have the chance to see her for the last time.


I wasn't her favorite grandchild, and we were not really close when I was little. Even though we didn't get along, I feel sad, and feel sorry for my father.

My father is her oldest son, but not her dearest, even though he'd been looking after her for several years since she had started getting old. She was always unhappy... My father lost his mom forever, she's disappeared. And what makes me panic is to think one day, I will lose my dad and my mom...


I asked for 2 days off; I just want to go out to see some place different, to breathe some air, to break the ritual of daily life. A little travel may make me feel better, and many things need to be thought through. Decisions need to be made; I need some change in my life.

Hello Ziqi,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. When this happens you start to realise your own vulnerability. I think you are right to ask for a few days to be alone with your thoughts.

Remember in English that modal verbs like 'can', 'may' and 'will' are always followed by an infinitive form.

Best wishes


Bob
