"Proud of You"--a Lovely Song

Today I had Classes 301 and 311 listen to a lovely song "Proud of You" at the beginning of the class. While listening, they were asked to write in English anything that came into their mind. When the song was over, they handed in their paper.

Some students just jotted down a few words; others told about their recent life; still others wrote about the song. The following are words about the song:

"An angel in the sky flying high, A paradise without pain comes into my mind. My sweet, old memory. I wish I were a kid." (30114)

Here I'd like to thank Annie (詹麗馨老師) for introducing this song on FB yesterday. In fact, I've heard this song dozens of times for it was played at almost all the wedding banquets I have attended since two years ago. However, I didn't know its title until yesterday. A beautiful song, indeed.
