I recently gave my class a task. It was to go to someone and say “I love you”. It could be someone you felt sorry to or had never said those words to before. Hearing this, my students were silent, because they were too ____to express love, especially the boys who ____ speaking out love not macho（男子汉的）.

When I checked their work, Zhang Rui was the first to ____ his story “Since my sister was born, she has become the focus and caught the ____ of the whole family. I felt left out and unhappy,” Zhang Rui said “They were not angry with me. Instead, they comforted（安慰）me. When I said ‘love you’, they were _____but moved”

As soon as Zhang Rui sat down, many students ____ their hands actively. Du Yang got the chance. “My father and I had a(n) ____ one month ago. After that, we ____ spoke to each other. When I went back home with the task, I took courage, ____forward and said, ‘Dad, I just want to tell you that I love you’ My father’s face softened and his eyes watered. He reached out, ______ me and said, ‘I love you too, but I have never been able to say it.’ The next day, my father volunteered to ____ COVID-19. Several days later, he called and thanked me for those words. He added that ____ could be stronger than the power of love and support from family. I believe that my father will have a safe ____.” With tears in his eyes, Du Yang sat down.

Hands were waving when the bell rang. No ____ all my students had expressed love. ____, there was still a person in the room who didn’t. It was me. It was my turn to do that.
