For today's class activity, the exercise would be creating a passage or writing that describes the concept of Love.

a) Mountain

Love can be cold,

Love can be hot,
No matter whether you're old,
Or you're not hot,
You'll always be in my heart.

b) Plastic money

Money can buy me a car,
Money can buy me a house,
There's one thing that money can't buy me;
The priceless love of yours.

(unless she's a gold digger)

c) Time

Men and women are like watch,
Hours and minutes work together to show values,
If one dies, the other half would be virtually useless.

d) Garbage

Women nowadays see men like garbage,
They doesn't know how to appreciate,
They just simply dump men away whenever, wherever they want to.
