I Dreamed a Dream
Ruthie Henshall From-Music drama"Les Miserables" as Fontine

There was a time when men was kind,
when their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting

There was a time
But it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would nerver died
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With the voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days
With endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And I still dream he'll come to me
That we will live years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot wheather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed

What do you want most in a friend/girlfriend/boyfriend—someone who is intelligent、or someone who has a sense of humor、or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you?

It's said that no one coule live without friends. We cognize many kinds of people in our life long, and everyone has his own character, hobby and formative environment. There are some reasons which could make we estabolish a nice friendship with someone. And comparable personality and hobby must be important in making a good friendship. In my opinion, a friend who is reliable is most important.

Realiability makes one have true friendship with the other. Intelligent and humor friends might have consequential influence on my life. These unique qualities of the kinds of people would attract me to consort with them. However, it not just make fine friends for me. I think that the nice friendship should depend on the interaction and reliability. A friend who is reliable and have more interaction with me will indeed realize me more. So we have much chance to become good friends after all. Therefor, I think a friend who is reliable is most important.

A person who be reliable could become verus friend for me. A really friend is who I can reveal complete aspect of me to. They'll understand my personality, behavior and moods, and they don't ask me a lot. I don't have to mask or pretend when companying. When in mood, I can complain to them and they'll try to cheer me up. While in happy, we'll share every fruition. This kind of friends is what I want to company with.

Friends play most important role in everyone's lives. We all should have many friends, and all of we have to learn to be the good friend in someone's thought.

Traveling alone or in a tour group? -- Some people like to travel in a tour group. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer?

I prefer to travel alone compared with in a tour group. The main reason of the preference is that a period of a travel must be free and unrestricted in my opinion.

A travel plays an important role on one's life. It not only brings the disengagement to our monotonous life, but also let us learn unfamiliar knowledge by special ways. For instance, we would be distant from tenseness and bother from cities by touring in countryside. And when taking a trip in a foreign nation, we may experience an outlandish atomosphere and culture that could enrich our information.

Some people would like to travel grouply. A travel represent that we must be in a strange place. Therefor, those who prefer to travel in a tour group will be cared well and completely.
In the period of a travel grouply, there's less hazard or unsafety. And all the traveling schedule almost be attained and completed.

Compared with traveling in a tour group, it seems that there is full of risk and chanciness in traveling alone. However, the surprise and the wonder gained by traveling alone are far away from in tour group. In addition, I think traveling alone is a kind of adventure. In the itinerary, I have to meet all situations, such as hungry, sickness, looseness and larceny, and deal with those by my self. It's another sort of training and education for my personality. Most of all, I'm fond of cruising without astriction and excessive detailed arrangement. It's because of the freedom and unconstraint that journey alone attract me much than in tour group.

I prefer to travel alone. And I hope that I could take a trip by my self last years soon.
