amazing grace

Judy Collins, American






Amazing grace!

How sweet the sound!

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see.



T'was grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!



Through many dangers, toils, and snares,

I have already come;

Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.



The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.



Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease;

I shall possess, within the vail, A life of joy and peace.



The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine

no smoking in indoor public places

From the beginning of this month, Hong Kong extended it smoking ban to all indoor areas--workplaces, public areas, restaurants, bars, and karaoke lounges a public living room, a lobby >. Those who break the rule could face serious punishment. In fact, smoking bans can be seen around the world, in South Africa, New Zealand, Italy, Ireland and some parts of the US. Plus, UK will introduce the ban in 2007. So, what about the mainland? Many no-smokers say they would welcome a decision to save them from passive smoking. While, it is obvious the smokers will say no to such a kind of ban. The smokers believe that it is their rights where to go and where to sit. The ban mean they on longer be any freedom of choice. What is more, heavy smokers are unlikely to give up. If they have no public place to go, they prefer to stay home and have bad effect on their children. Some even argue the business of entertainment places will be driven out of. However, it is on doubt that smoking is dangerous...

friendship

I believe friendship is one of the most important things in my life. Real friendship is a spiritually developing experience. Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and...

awful people

In the world, there are always some awful people to remind us the reality of the society is not ideal as we think. They are fond of pretend being sanctimonious, just like the wolves in sheep’s clothing. I have to open my eyes and stay awake to protect myself. In fact, one of my used admired teachers is such a kind of person. He is some kind successful, with one of the top awards by the government due to his achievement in the academic field. Plus, he is also a successful enterpriser who owns a famous manufactory in Shenzhen. And, he is planning to invest another machine factory in Hangzhou. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, he is a celebrity with great fame and wealth, admired by most of people. However, in some other fields, he is a squalid guy, because he is a lady-killer. He makes use of his status and fame to trap his young students. Of course, it is a two-side business. Once the girl accepts his lure, she must be some kind of person—van and shallow. As you can imagine, these pe...
