15．　　I didn't get into the swim team and I had to wait another year to try out again. What was more, I was taking some difficult classes this year, and my best friend moved away.
　　Dad knew I was feeling pressure. He sat next to me and asked me to help him make bread. In the kitchen, Dad gave me one apron(围裙). Next, Dad took out his mixing bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and told me to stir(搅拌)the things in it. After making a dough(生面团), Dad told me to use my hand to push the dough for five minutes.
　　Next came the most difficult and surprising part﹣doing nothing. We waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly double in size. Next, we pushed the dough again, divided it into two parts and waited for the dough to rise again. After that, we put the dough into pans(平底锅)and waited another hour for the dough to rise and double for the last time. Dad said, "It's hard not to put the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be small, and the bread will be hard. "
　　While we waited, we sat and talked. The dough was going to rise at its own speed. We could do nothing to make it rise faster. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and playing with my fingers on the tabletop. I started enjoying the quiet time with Dad. I learned to relax and let the bread rise.
