Item 3: Poem
Time Will Pass
Janelle
Life
is something you can not fake
You live and learn from each mistake
Sunny days or cloudy skies
Happy Greetings or Sad Goodbyes
So don't sit by and let time pass
For live each day like your last
You live and learn from each mistake
Sunny days or cloudy skies
Happy Greetings or Sad Goodbyes
So don't sit by and let time pass
For live each day like your last
This is something that you must do
If you expect to grow and stick it through
All the sadness all the pain wash
It away like the rain.
Fast or slow whatever your pace
Take your time life is not a race.

The first word I want to say that I am quite expressed by your picture in the first item!
Trả lờiXóaBut I have a few comments to you. I think the message of the picture that the importance of green tree in providing people with oxygen.
I am realy intrested in your entry, my friend
Trả lờiXóaBut after reading it many time, I realized some mistakes and had some comments for you:
You need to correct some typing error such as isnot =>is not, aound => around ^.^
In item 1, you should make the message more clearly. I suggest: The air was being seriously polluted which harmed derectly to human's health
In item 3, In my point of view, you should use word " assonance" instead of " Rhyme", it is more exactly
