When you say nothing at all


How are you today? I like a song:When you say nothing at all.

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever
I fallYou say it best when you say nothing at all

Arranged Marriages


In China, arranged marriages were very common a long time ago. Chinese had traditional culture that they agreed to the arrangement. The parents always made the arrangement and also the parents tried to find out the fit person for the children. After the couple got married they would treat each other very well.
Now, some people are so open, they fond love very easily and they don't respect about each other as much as in the old days. They separate as easily as they fine love. Its very hard to find out how the lover will be when people are in love“Love is blind”.So, the divorce percentages are higher than before because some people just like playing games with their relataonship. Its best way for the parents to give some advice and their opinion before their children get married but not too strong.

A book from the library

On first March, I went to TAFE library because I wanted to look for a directory book. So, I looked at the library Dewey information diagram that our teacher gave us, and found out the location number was 400 to 499. I found a grammar book called“Grammar Made Easy”.The book is about how to put words together correctly to make sense, It's about teaching the part that each word plays in a sentence, so you can understand it when reading and writing English. Now, we are living in Australia and English is spoken by more and more people as a second language in the world. It's very important for us to learn English well. If you want your English to be good, You have to learn grammar step by step.
