Week 4 task 1



This is my favourite song whose name is never had the dream come ture. The singer is S Club7.And here is the lyric.

Everybody's got something They had to leave behind

One regret from yesterday That just seems to grow with time

There's no use looking back or wondering how it could be now or might have been

All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I never had a dream come true till the day that found you

Even though I pretend that I moved on

You'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say

You're the one I think about each day

And I know no matter where life takes me to a part of me will always be with you.

Somewhere in my memory I've lost all sense of time

And tomorrow can never be cause yesterday is all that fills my mind

There's no use looking back or wondering how it could be now or might have been

All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

never had a dream come true till the day that found you

Even though I pretend that I moved on

You'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say You're the one I think about each day

And I know no matter where life takes me to a part of me will always be with you.

You'll always be the dream that fills my head

You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget

It's no use looking back or wondering because love is a strange and funny thing

No matter how I try and try just can't say goodbye

new phrase: I can't find ways to do something =I don't know how to do something.

might have done someting

Blue whale


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_pk-hEPQVM

I have listened this video for 10 minutes
Blue whale is a marine mammal which live in Pacific Ocean .With 33.59 metre length,189 metric tonnes weight ,blue whale is the biggest animal in the world. What's more, it is very atonshed that its lung capacity is 5000 litres! Every day,about 1 tonnes of krill and crustacean are eaten by a blue whale. In late fall, it mating starts,and continues to the of winter.Due to unreasonable hunting ,the number of blue whale has drawn to 5000 to 12000 in the world. So many orgnizations are founded to protect them. If we go on hunt them unreasonably, our grandson will never see them! So something must be done by us.

New word:mammal n. worm-blooded animal ,such as humen, rodents,carnivores, bat
E:The bat is a flying mammal
I think blue whale is so cute .Its face like a kid's.But when I heard about it is emdangered animal,my feel was sad. So I chose this one.
