Irreplaceable

For S103,
Listen to the song and enjoy the MV at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsQvXgCcng8

This song vividly depicts how a girl feels when she is betrayed by her lover. Do you believe that you'll find true love in your life? Or do you think there's no such thing as eternal love?

She's so vulnerable!

For S202 & S206,
Hope that you all like this song and don't forget the key word "vulnerable".

You'll be able to see what the two singers look like in either version.

I can't help falling in love with you!!!

For S103,
Do you still remember what I taught you in class today?

來自彰化的訪客

星期三晚上,心機和大黑居然打電話給我說要來家裡坐!這是我教書以來,首二位到大甲來找我的喔!為了紀念,所以決定打在網誌裡!先前在台北教,帶完他們三年後就離開台灣,所以學生也沒得找我!後來回來就在台中市教,所以學生也不可能到家裡!哈...這就是我的陰謀啦!有學生問我怎麼不回大甲教,我當然不想嘍!這樣我就算穿著拖鞋走在大甲街,或者頭髮亂七八糟地在散步,也不會被認出來啦!

英詩創作大賽之自然組篇

For S206,
I was very happy to see that most of you did your utmost to complete your task! The winners are as follows.

Group 1
Love is water,
Something we can't live without.
Love is underwear,
Invisible but important.

Group 4
Love is the sunlight,
Light up my life.
Love is the twilight,
Faint but stays forever in my mind.

Group ???
Love is the sky,
Mostly sunny but sometimes rainy.
Love is the feather,
Soft but easy to disappear.
Love is coffee,
Bitter but tasty.
Love is everything,
Enrich my life.
Love is my guide,
Take me far and wide.

英詩創作大賽

For S202,
I have to say...you guys are fantastic! In today's English class, you have achieved something remarkable! All the seven poems you wrote in ten minutes impressed me! And I'm now going to announce who the winners are!

The first place goes to.....Group 1
********
Family is a shelter,
Keep us from danger.
Family is a heater,
Warm us in winter.
Family is the water,
Give us power.
Family is an eraser,
Wipe away our tears.
********

The second place goes to.....Group 3
********
Happiness is the kite,
Enable us to fly high.
Hapiness is the twilight,
Take us through the night.
Happiness is the apple pie,
Make us smile.
Happiness is the sunshine,
Light up our life.
********

A low-profile girl's version
********
Truth is a gun,
Hurt someone cruelly.
Truth is the sun,
Keep the lie hidden in the shadow usually.
Truth is the only one
Won't change easily.
********

How wonderful your works are!!!
