Topic: My one-of-a-kind grandfather

Main Body:
    Main idea: 
My grandfather is special because he showed to me how perseverance, patience and 
                       love can make a difference in one's life.

                                           teenage years.

                   opportunty, he moved to Jinan and live with his grandpa.

                   himself" to be a slave. Luckily, he had gotten enough money at last.
               3) Few years later, the Chinese Civil War broke down, and he was fored to become a
                   rufugee.
               4) During this trip, many bad things happened (I didn't put them in the right order because
                    I have to comfirm the time again ):
                    (1) He was sent into the jail because the Taiwanese government thought he was a spy
                          that Communist Party of China sent to show how poor you would be if you still
                          want to stay with the Koumintang.
                    (2) After he had worked for a while, he finally saved enough money to buy a new pair
                         of shoes, but after he washed them and put them under the sun to dry it, someone
                         stole them right away. He had no choice but wear the pair of old shoes which a
                         kind woman gave him.
                    (3) His girlfriend who kept all of his money ran away with another guy. Luckily his
                          teacher shared his room with my grandpa so that my grandpa wouldn't have to
                          live on the street.    
            
     
        (2)Topic sentence 2: No one compares to my grandpa when it comes to perseverance.
             Supporting sentences/ examples:
               1) His studying: He had loved studying since he was young. He continued studying even
                   when he was a refugee. He made to the NTU by himself.
               2) Among all of the subjects, his favorite was math. But because his major in university
                   was history, he then have to learn it by himself. After he graduated from university,

                   days, but he recovered magically.
               2) 19 years later, he fainted in front of me, and we couldn't understand why. He was so
                   healthy before his first faint. Few weeks later, we finally found out the reason that
                   caused him faint-- the epilepsy. And the doctor said that the reason to his epilepsy maybe
                   was because of the scar in his brain that he left there 19 years ago.
               3) A year later, his health condition worsened, and another disease also came to him-- the
                   senile dementia. This disease made him forgot many things, but the only thing he
                   wouldn't forget was to ask us whether we are cold, do we have enough money to
                   spend or have we eaten yet. Sometimes he was also stubborn and refused to take the
                   medicine. At last, he refused to eat.
               4) During the last six months, he almost went to the hospital every month, he could hardly
                   walk due to the lack of exercise. At the last time he stayed there, he was sent to the ICU
                   because of his bad health condition. He made through few times of dangerous situation,
                   but at last, he didn't make it. He passed away in the morning of 5/17, just a day before
                   our school anniversary. I didn't make it to see his last minute, when we rushed to the
                   ICU, he had passed away a minute ago.
