The Semester is going to end

This semester is going to end.
I learn lots of English about reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Why I want to improve my English?
They will help me when I keep studying or work in the society.
People say English is more important than everything in this epoch.
Because many countries are link together, it's like global village.
Today, it is important to focus on teamwork.
It need good relationship and good communication.
Make friend or work with foreigners need one language to communicate.
Although many people's native language is not English, they can speaking English.
So I think English is important to get a good job and have a good life from now to forever.

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

Blunt said on VH1's The Vspot that he wrote this song about seeing his ex-girlfriend with a new man who he didn't know about on a train in the London underground. He says that they shared a lifetime in the brief eye contact. The words came to him all at once. (thanks, steph - cape cod, MA)

My life is brilliant.

My love is pure.

I saw an angel.

Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway.

She was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

'Cause I've got a plan.



You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.



Yeah, she caught my eye,

As we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was,

*****ing high,

And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end.



You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.
