Just see the over-brimming river flowing east! 虞美人 —— 李煜
问君能有几多愁，
恰是一江春水向东流。How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.水调歌头 —— 苏轼
明月几时有？把酒问青天

When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.青玉案·元夕 —— 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度，
蓦然回首，
那人却在，
灯火阑珊处。I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad, so drear,
so lonely, without cheer. 声声慢 —— 李清照
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。 In the Quiet Night
A bed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it's frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned. 静夜思---李白
床前明月光，
疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，
低头思故乡。

(清单诗) Our first football match
We would have won…
if Jack had just scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!CList poem
