The Beautiful Story of a Friendship.
On May 9, 2007 in the mountains of northern Albania, a wolf was captured and put in a pen. To feed him, his captors decided to give him a "live food", an old donkey who, exploited for many years by its owners, had become worthless. But what happened? The two became best friends.

You know what they say about mistakes. Everybody makes them and you are no exception. Of course you will do what you can to avoid making a serious error, but sometimes they happen anyway. While your instinct may be to run away and hide, that is actually the worse thing you can do. Admitting your error, finding a way to fix it or at least taking an action that lessens its effects, will help restore your reputation.
It's important to accept responsibility for mistakes you may have made. Don't argue with the person who's correcting you, even if you think they're mistaken. Just say okay and that you'll pay closer attention to it in the future. You're not admitting fault, but you're not making an enemy either or being viewed as a difficult person.

I didn’t use to like sports – any kind of sports, even the lightsome easy one. Truly, I – a grade-eight student that time - was once attracted to some famous handsome footballers when the 2002 Word Cup tournaments were broadcasted on the national channel. I followed all the matches in which my idols played. I call “idols” coz there were some of them I crazily dreamt of, namely Casillas (the gold-keeper of Spain), Raul (the striker of Spain) and Klose (striker of Germany). My heart got sunshin

Dear Captain,

Xun's history can trace back to the later part or the stone Age, and its rudiment were stones used by our ancestors for hunting. There were cavities formed naturally on them and gradually became an instrument as time went by.
My teacher is an amiable grandpa. He is 77, an excellent musician. He is good at many instruments such as Guzheng, Pipa, flute, viol
