Good evening,teacher!I am sorry to be late for this comment.
About the love lock on the bridge,on my opinion,it's a very romantic scene.If I have a chance to go to Paris,I will go there and lock one.But according to the news, these locks have threaten the security of the bridge and the passing boats.Many citizens signed a petition to protect the bridge.Some think it should be forbidden. I think it has been a attractive and meaningful scene in Paris,so we can take steps to improve it.Like firm the bridge or others. It has been something witted the love and the time.We can carefully make it better. :)
Thank you, Zhou Yuqi ... I'm happy to learn that some of my students wouldn't mind to see me again! Of course, I am also looking forward to see my students (my Class 12 students too) as I always miss them when there is no class (that is the truth!). :)
Yes, I agree; maybe they should find another way of expressing their love. One of my Class 12 students suggested they plant 'love' trees! At least it would be more environmentally friendly. :)
CC, so what will you do one day to romantically express your love for your lover/bf? Or what would you allow him to do to express his love romantically to you?! Why does China sound so unromantic?! Oh, and I don't think the scenery on the bridge is worse now; those locks actually make the bridge look better with more character! See the pictures I have posted above. :)
Linlin, you didn't 'hear' the news, you 'listened' to the news as that is what this exercise is about!
Wang Shuaitian, are you sure that Nan Shan tower is in Korea? Is it not in Taiwan? Btw, there can be many other ways too to express one's love in a romantic way; one must just be creative and innovative!
Mary, you were not supposed to READ the news, but LISTEN to it! It is a listening exercise and not a reading one! And by the way, the government shouldn't find all the solutions. Governments are not God to be the people's provider (though some governments falsely pretend to be)! The people caused the problem; so, maybe they can come up themselves with a solution!
It looked like this in this picture:
Thank you, Hou Yan. Haha, it's not only those couples that think it is romantic; even others think that too (like some old teachers)! You'll be surprised what strange things people do to express their love! :)
Hello,teacher.I saw the news about the Love Lock Ritual in Paris .There is a lock bridge over the River Seine.As we know ,Paris is a beautiful city full of romantic. Couples visit the city in their honeymoon or in wedding anniversary. Many Lovers in Paris in order to express their undying love could write down their names on the padlock and lock it on the bridge.Then throw the keys below the river .This custom expressed peoples wonderful dreams.But now millions of locks made the bridge overwhelmed. A few days ago,many locks were dismantled.City Hall is now asking tourists to refrain from taking part .This custom may end from now on.And this incident has caused widely concern.Whether it is wright or not,we must stand in different sides to analyse .
