2. Sound: Liu Yufan, is it possible to bring your sound system to class again, pse? Can you download this song for us, or should I bring my USB memory stick to the class? Pse let me know if you need that. Thank you.

    hello,teacher.i have listened the music,and the music is beautiful.i have listened it when the song was new issued,we have a discussion in pairs or small groups and in my opinion the usual symptom of relationship broken is never get touch with each otger,i would not seek a revenge on a partner.see you tomorrow

      Tian Jing, thank you for the comment, but why do you comment so late at night? See my comment to Nancy above; maybe you should leave your comments earlier when you are fresher. Don't you think so? But okay, at least you said something I agree with ... if the relationship is over, never get in touch again. Go and sleep now. ;-)

      Yes Nancy, Adele is making good music. But Nancy, I am getting worried when some students give their comments so late at night ... Then they are already very tired and want to go to bed. Do you think the quality of their comments would still be good? Don't you think it would just be a "rushed job" then? Maybe you, Tian Jing, Li Fengxian, CC and Jiajia should consider leaving your next comments when you are fresher? What do you think? ;-)

      I agree Li Fengxian, if a boy treats me so badly as her bf treated her, I think I would feel like killing him! Why do boys often treat their gf's like that? Why are girlfriends more warmhearted than their bf's? Or am I missing it?!

      Yes CC, it sounds like a song about a broken relationship that turned very ugly as she now seeks revenge. You are right about cheating and abandonment; couples shouldn't do that to their mates (but they do ..).

      Yes, it may be true what you say about failed relationships, Wang Jiajia, but it is also true that it makes one stronger. So, though it hurts when one is at the receiving end, one should believe that it's not the end, but the beginning of a new road in life (I know - I had three major relationship-failures

      Well Hetty, I am happy for you that we can use your favourite song in class for a lesson. I hope it would meet your expectations, and more. Maybe you can sing it for us shoud Liu Yufan forget to bring the sound system ..!

      Yes, Wang Shuaitian, the music is exciting, but I guess the theme is a little depressing. But one can still learn a lot from this experience (especially what to look out for, and what not to do, or not to allow).
