Look at the questions for this part.
    You will hear a man talking about his father.
    For questions 24~30, indicate which of the alternatives, A, B or C, is the most appropriate response.
    Mark your answers, A, B or C, on the Answer Sheet.
    My father spent most of his time working. While he always spoke to me as he washed before dinner, he told me tales of his childhood and let little drops of moral tuition fall into my lap. He never broke his promises to me.
    He drove a London taxi for forty years. It was a job that paid a decent wage if a man was willing to work twelve hours per day, six days a week. I could never understand why the passengers treated him with such disregard. He was "Cabby" and "Driver" and "You". No he wasn’t, he was my dad.
    He always looked so strong and powerful enough to cry when he felt the need. He wept when my grandmother died. Confusing. That morning he came to my room. Saw the fear and confusion on my face. He kissed me, recited a short prayer with me, and then drove me to school before putting his twelve hours in.
    I remember his euphoria when I first went to university, the first in his family to do so. Of course, he was gauche when I graduated, took too many photos and didn’t understand the Latin speech before the ceremonial meal. So what. All that concerns this man was that his son would not follow in his footsteps.
    "Do you know why I work so hard?" he asked me. "So that you won’t have to."
    He couldn’t afford to go on holidays with us. There just wasn’t the money. He’d stay on his own and work even longer.
    And when my first child was born, this extraordinary ordinary man said nothing, just stared at the baby and me. He spoke through his eves. "Son. Let him be able to say just one thing when he grows up. ’He is my father. ’"
