Earthquake in China 2008!

On May 12th, one really bad thing was happened... Sichuan earthquake! This powerful earthquake was worse than the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China. It is 8.0!!! It occured very widely in China, including Beijing...Shanghai... and it lead more than thousands people died in this earthquake.

I choose this item cause I am a Chinese... I like my country, it seems like my big family...When I first heard about this news, I was so depression, and I was worried about the people who live there. I don't want to see the death toll was increaseing...
I hope they can rebuild their hometown as soon as possible.

You know that this year is very important to China, it will hold the Olympic Games in China this year, but a lot of bad things were happened, such as snow... Tibet... and also this earthquake... So this year is also hard for China. But I think that was not the obstruction to stop China to hold the Olympic Games this year---Beijing 2008...
We can solve the problems right now;we can do it very well;we can conquer all the difficulties... I believe!

Week 3: Task 1 - I Believe I Can Fly

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

R.Kelly I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think that I could not go wrong
And life was nothing but that an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Oh I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes inside us, it can seem so long
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
Could I believe in it?
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Oh I believe I can fly
