I really hope, after learning the 3 sentences, you can remember some countries' names and something about earthquake.
I am so sorry for the people who were dead in the earthquake and I really hope the people who are suffering the disaster to be safe and lucky and recover the peaceful life as soon as possible. I do hope all of us to cherish our lives, work, friends and family members, when we are still alive, to cherish our friendship, love and all of the beautiful human feelings when we can feel...
If you have any questions, comments and suggestions, please write to shirley@ebridge.cn,you are welcomed.
