如果一切重頭 如果你再說你愛我
習慣了 熟悉的溫柔
turn around turn around turn around
怎麼還是 一個我
雨滴滴答答的墜落 還有什麼說不出口
淚不停不停的滑落 習慣沒有你的角落
I want to sing a song for you
sing for my soul
沒有你的天空 沒有雲朵
you are my everything and I really love you
在淚乾了以後 想聽你說 愛我
想太多 如果有如果
如果永遠愛我 如果最後能到最後
一個人 該習慣什麼
turn around turn around turn around
習慣晚安自己說
雨滴滴答答的墜落 還有什麼說不出口
淚不停不停的滑落 習慣沒有你的角落
I want to sing a song for you
sing for my soul
沒有你的天空 沒有雲朵
you are my everything and I really love you
在淚乾了以後 卻還記得
還記得青蘋的酸甜 酸到心底沒有感覺
夢太美 回憶太心碎 再多給我一點點的勇氣
I want to sing a song for you
sing for my soul
沒有你的天空 沒有雲朵
you are my everything and I really love you
在淚乾了以後 想聽你說 love you
The body was not even cold yet. But they were coming. And I had to run, to run for my dear life.
My long white fingers were gripping hard on the club. I made no noise running down the staircase. The body was behind me, and I was running fast. But I knew it was going to rise again. The spirit of its master would take revenge on me. The walls shone with blue light as if a warning to me. My fingernails were scratching the club uncomfortably. I was approaching the door of freedom when I heard a distant scream. I knew I had made it in time. I opened the door. There, the fresh smell of flowers rushed in, against the smell of sanitized bed curtains and pills, from the place which I had been staying in. I thought I got freedom. I released the club. There was no need to escape.
Suddenly, I felt the body stirring. They were approaching...approaching! I could not hear anything. A man in white robe appeared out of thin air. 'It is really you, Phalanges.', he said. He did not sound friendly. I backed. My eyesight blurred. The next moment, all I could see was the blue checks on my my clothes and pants. Everything came into focus again, except that I could not feel where my body was.
I saw a fat man, then. He was in white robe too. He was looking at a boy, a skinny and badly injured one, with great care and attention. He turned around. He looked familiar. He was the body. The body! It was Dr Femur! He looked at a woman, who was much older than the boy. He talked to her about something like 'car accident', 'brain damage' and 'intensive care'. Then I suddenly thought that the boy was me, for no reasons at all! Then Dr Femur was no longer there. He was in his office, hands on his phone. He must be calling experts to help me. The woman was by his side, frowning. And he was there, again, helping me talk to the woman and I kept on screaming. What was worse, was that he was in his office again. He was quarreling with the woman. And the woman suddenly wept and he went silent, pursing his lips tightly. I saw myself holding a club, standing at the top of the staircase. I raised the club. There were shock and fear in Dr Femur's small eyes. I felt myself again.
I opened my eyes and felt memories rushing into my brain. Beside me stood Dr Femur, whose head was bandaged, and the woman. 'Do you know where you are?', asked Dr Femur, 'Hospital.', I answered confidently. He pointed at the woman. 'Do you remember her?' 'Mom.', I whispered. And we were hugging each other. I felt her tears falling onto my shoulder. There were so much blessings, so much to embrace: the love and the hardships.
Teacher's comments: The portrayal of the protagonist is intriguing.

結果日出後她碎成泡沫 漩渦盡頭沒有你沒有我 長大以後無聊的某一天 我們擦肩而過沒有想念
花開在那片荒蕪頹廢沒有顧忌的海上 你說 如果我們都不再呼吸也沒有關係 Oh my Gloomy Salad days
'Bend it like Beckham' is a rather old movie, but it is still popular. It has brought many stars to fame.
The movie is set in Hounslow, London. 'Jess' Jesminder Bhamra is an 18-year-old Indian girl who loved playing football and admired Beckham very much. Jess(Parminder Nagra) was to go to university very soon. Her parents were starting to try to stop her playing football completely when 'Jules' Juliette Paxton(Keira Knightley) invited Jess to her local girls' football team, Hounslow Harriers. Jess' parents are traditional Sikhs and objected strongly on her playing football, even though she was very talented. Joe(Jonathan Rhys Meyers), the coach of the team fell for Jess very soon. However, Jules also fancied Joe. This brought crisis to Jess and Jules' friendship. Jess' parents later discovered her playing. Finally, against all odds, Jess got her parents appreciation and went to Santa Clara University on full scholarship with Jules where they became professional football players.
The movie is directed by Gurinder Chadha and it brought her prizes in 2002 Locarno International Film Festival, 2002 International Film Festival of Marrakech and many more.
I like especially the costumes used in the movie. Splended, traditional Sari, sports wear of Hounslow Harriers and the uniform of Jess' father's...they all gave the audience very rich visual effects. It is also used to bring out contrasts in different characters, eg. contrasts in the clothes of 'Pinky' Bhamra's(Jess' sister), who was going to get married, and that of Jess'.
The acting of Keira Knightley, as Jules, was greatly appreciated with 2002 London Film Critics Circle Awards: British Best Newcomer. Her acting is rather eye-catching and convincing, especially in a scene when Jess and Joe almost kissed. She said 'You bitch', not with purely fury and disappointment, but with quiet anger and shock.
The movie revealed social problems like gender difference and how traditions my seem conservative and unreasonable. I think the strongest message is about racial discrimination. The reason why Mr Bhamra objected Jess' playing sports so much is that he was discriminated as an Indian when he played cricket as a young man. He did not want Jess to suffer. The movie also encourages the audience to pursue their dreams. As we see Jess fighting for her dream, we feel as if we have the same courage to reach an ideal like Jess to the end of the movie.
There are many echoes throughout the movie. For example, Joe and Mr Bhamra played cricket at the end of the movie, echoing Mr Bhamra's story. The movie also made good use of the rich sunlight at the football pitch where Hounslow Harriers have their practices. The make-up is rather light usually, bringing out a sharp contrast when Jess wore heavy make-up to a disco in the middle part of the movie. There are also easy laughs throughout the movie. It brings a humourous air and makes the movie sound lighter. The story and sets are close to daily life so it is easy to comprehend the feelings brought out.
However, I think that Jess and Jules seem a bit detached from the rest of Hounslow Harreirs' members. I also think that the crew can make better use of the spacious filming venues and the large number of actors they have got. For example, they can choose not to restrict the filming area to the sitting room and Jess' bedroom at Jess' home.
Although 'Bend it like Beckham' is a low budgeted movie, it is surprisingly impressive and with lasting popularity. Overall, it is a rather nice movie but I do not recommend it to people who are looking for stuns or much romances.
Teacher's comments: Quite rich ideas but can use more effective topic sentences!
