Response
In the ironic story, I know that the couple hide different intentions, and they don’t trust each other. The talk between the wife and husband is mean and boring. In the real world, there are a huge number of couples or lovers treating each other with sinister. All in their life is cursing, creaming and shut somebody up.
It says that, “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched”, if you think you are wisdom only, what is not enough. When life is flat and insipid, what people want is more freedom and a nook or something fresh. There must be a winner in the end of a craft game. The looser must be out of control, the other must be mind
clear.

tongued social rituals and bonding in the contest. Though someone may think it is good because we can never see such more beauty in a time, but I don’t like.

Singgle Mother & Proud
In general, it is ashamed to be a single mother, so do I.
At first, in my opinion, a single mother couldn’t be proud, how could she――a 20 years old girl――take care, for another girl?
But in the article, I strongly fell how worrying she was.
Once pregnancy, her mind made a different sound at the thought――saving the baby; even though she was straddled to weigh each plans, to take up her mind more than once.
The last but not the least, she not only faced the truth bravely, but also raised the little girl diligent.
No matter how awful the environment was, her soul was optimistic. What a calm young girl, what a brave mother!

Postman In The Mountains
The generation gap appears in turn in the city also can appear inthe village，
perhaps we should say each "inheritance", all has the very deepbackground.
Delivers a letter after a colleague ﹐
they understand each other more.
The umbilical cord hobbles can let the way your father love you different.
Although the way he loves you is different,
the degree in the heart is invariable.
The same file, the different age, I can get more from the movie.
Obtaining a lot, cuts into also to be able to be different.
What it straight into is a new field.
What you want, what you may not get!
No think, the most smooth-going road is no flavor,
no belief, the god in the mountain may die.
We should have a clear road, and the most important,
to put it into practice!
