I found him in a semiconscious state*. On my knees, I said softly, Hello, Grandpa. Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. When I asked about how he was, he told me, I39。ll be fine, Henry. But we both knew that wasn39。t true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing. Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage* I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet. I just want to make sure. By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know became free.

If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That39。s all I want of you. From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I got in touch with others to show my thanks.

Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance with Eminem? Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teen amp。 Music survey, made by the USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the result showed what type of music was hot and what was not. It es without surprise that hiphop and rap are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid1970s with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip hop and rap are wellknown for the breakdancing that goes with them. The word rap es from a slang word. It is a rapid rhyme that is spoken rather than sung. Pop music, such as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, has always met the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support from teens and is the second most popular music after hiphop and rap. The third is rock music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the USA in the early 1950s. The American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world famous rock artists. The survey also shows that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the later part of the 19th century from a mixture of African songs and hymns. Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older. （1）American teenagers like best.
