Love of my life

Love of my life, you've hurt me,
You've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me.

To remind you how I still love you
I still love you.Back hurry back,
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me.
Love of my life,
Love of my life.

How Deep is Your Love

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And its me you need to show
Chorus:
How deep is your love
I really need to learn cause were living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour
Youre my saviour when I fallAnd you may not thinkI care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And its me you need to show
Chorus Repeat and fade

New Big Cat

Zoo searches for a new big cat as Siu Fa begins to feel her age (SCMP) 01月 25日 星期五 00:03AM

The Zoological and Botanical Garden has started looking for a replacement for its only jaguar, which has almost reached the end of its life.

Visitors to the zoo in Mid-Levels recently reported that a female jaguar was seen "hobbling along, dragging its hindquarters, and apparently in distress" in its enclosure.
Zookeepers said yesterday that the jaguar might be having difficulty walking because of overgrown claws in its hind paws.

But the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, which manages the zoo, said the jaguar was suffering from conditions normally associated with ageing and was being treated.
Nicknamed Siu Fa, the jaguar was born in a German zoo in 1987 and was brought to Hong Kong in 1989. Its male partner, Siu Hak, which was born in Hong Kong in 1987, died in 2003.
Zoo manager Chiu Yuen-ying said the 21-year-old jaguar has already lived beyond its average life expectancy of 20 years.

He said her age was now the human equivalent of a centenarian. "Because of its old age, it has become less active as its physical fitness declines," he said, adding that the jaguar was still in satisfactory condition with a good appetite.

The jaguar was under special care and was provided yesterday with a heater in its enclosure to keep it warm amid the cold weather. Caretakers also ensure meat for its meals is free of bones.
The jaguar's health is closely monitored by a resident veterinary surgeon.

Meanwhile, the department said it had started looking for a replacement since last year, adding that it was looking at other endangered animals apart from jaguars.
The department last night said it planned to introduce another endangered species to maintain the conservation programme of the zoo.

A source said the most likely sources of jaguars were from overseas zoos which also successfully bred the species.

Timothy Lam Fung-ngai, senior programme officer of Traffic East Asia, which monitors the international trade of animals and plants, said the zoo should not take any animals from non-captive-bred sources.

He said releasing the animals in the wild was not a viable option because past experience indicated many of these animals failed to adapt to the new environment.

Streets of London

Have you seen the old man In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper, with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
Chorus
In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone
Chorus
And have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears.
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care
Chorus

School Debating

I support that we should learn a second language.

Everyday we are learning something. I find learning a second language is most useful, it is a tool for communication.

Since communication included talking with and writing to one and others, only if we can speak and write well, then we can express ourself well.

That's why our school and most schools encourage their students to learn two languages and three dialects.

Communication help to reduce misunderstanding between people and develop friendship.

Why we need a second language?

1 Language is for communication, we can communicate better with friends from other countries.
2 Each country has his own culture, language help us to learn their culture.
3 When we study or work in other country, second language is useful.
4 One may discover that his second language is even better than his mother language.
