For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He      reading the newspaper or    football matches on television to talking to his family.

Everything     one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his     reserved self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the     was about: Dad is a big football fan.

Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we     watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to     Mum and me into football fans.

The match started a few     after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television.     , I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad     explained: “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.”

Dad     almost everything to me. His monosyllabic（单音节的）answers were a thing of the past. I loved the     Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more     . When I told my father that I planned to watch     matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink（眨眼）. At long last we had something in     .
