Someone Like You

 

I heard that you're settled down, That you found a girl and you're married now. I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light. I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it. I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over. Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you too Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said, "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead" You know how the time flies, Only yesterday was the time of our lives, We were born and raised. In a summer haze Bound by the surprise of our glory days I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it. I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over. Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you too Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you said, "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares No worries or cares Regrets and mistakes, They are memories made. Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste? Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said, "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead." Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you too Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said, "Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Love is beautiful for everybody. Everybody born must have love. Love will make everybody moisten all time. Love may be happening without us knowing it. Sometimes, it make us to painful too if we see old boyfriend or girlfriend come with new boyfriend or girlfriend

Today I listen “Someone Like You”. If you listen this song you will feel sad and painful. This song about Lover who never forget the memories that they have been made ​​together. She can’t forget love in that time. Love is painful that people who have love must to meet it. I belief that if we love someone that we love he or she very much we can’t forget.

So, if we love someone we should do and told him or her of our felling that we don’t to regret later. I think this song is easy to listen because it is a slow song. I can listen and understand the meaning easier because I have the lyric. Listening to music can improve my listening skills because I can observe the pronunciation of the singer that I can use to say.

News / Health> Thailand-US Study Concludes Effectiveness of Daily HIV Medication

BANGKOK — A clinical trial in Thailand has concluded a medication used to treat patients infected with HIV can also act as an effective prevention for all groups at high risk of acquiring the virus that causes AIDS.  The United States-supported study showed the anti-retroviral drug Tenofovir cut the risk of HIV in half among injected drug users, the last high risk group to be tested. Researchers from the United States and Thailand said a clinical trial of a medicine to prevent the spread of HIV showed a 49 percent reduction in risk among injected drug users.

Cinical trial The study of the antiretroviral Tenofovir began in 2005 and involved more than 2,400 men and women who inject drugs but were not infected with HIV.  Half were given Tenofovir and half a placebo. Both groups received counseling on drug abuse and HIV prevention.  They were then monitored to see how many acquired the virus.

There were 33 HIV infections among those taking the placebo and 17 among those taking the anti-retroviral, a 49 percent reduction in risk.

Trial conclusion Patients who took the medication most consistently had the highest levels of protection, reducing their risk of infection by 74 percent.Dr. Michael Martin is chief of HIV research at the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Southeast Asia office.  He said while researchers continue to strive for a vaccine that would offer total protection, Tenofovir offers some of the most significant HIV prevention so far.

"We know that it can prevent HIV infection among people who inject drugs, among men who have sex with men, and among heterosexual couples.  So, this is very good news for public health around the world," said Martin.

Trial background The study was conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Thailand Ministry of Public Health.

U.S. Ambassador to Thailand Kristie Kenney hailed the study as another step forward in U.S.-Thailand cooperation to eradicate HIV. "For twenty years Thailand and the United States have collaborated on HIV/AIDS, on the research, on the prevention, with the shared goal of 100 percent HIV/AIDS free generation," he explained. "And, I think today we're taking another important step in that direction."Tenofovir was approved for use in the United States for HIV treatment in 2001 but was only recently proven effective for prevention.A 2010 study in the U.S. showed, in combination with another drug, it reduced the risk of HIV infection among men who have sex with men by 44 percent.  Testing in Botswana, Kenya, and Uganda demonstrated effectiveness among heterosexual couples and where one partner was infected with HIV.Injected drug users were the last high risk group to be tested with Tenofovir in the Bangkok clinical trial.  Injected drug use accounts for up to 80 percent of new HIV infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, eight percent in the United States, and about ten percent worldwide.Dr. Kachit Choopanya is principal investigator for the study.  He said now that Tenofovir is proven effective for all high risk groups, it is up to governments to bring it into their health care systems. "And, we can save their life…I think everyone, not just Thailand, every country, should do this together," he stated.An estimated 30 to 50 percent of injected drug users in Thailand are living with HIV.  Those who participated in the trial reported a decrease in injected drug use, sharing needles, and unprotected sex.  Researchers said that indicates that counseling and education on HIV continues to be one of the most effective forms of prevention.

Learning Log

Learning Log <June 24 2013>


      Today I learned about Vocabulary teaching, Pronunciation Teaching, Culture Teaching and Teaching English using ICT or Web Based Learning.
      First, Vocabulary teaching is vital that teachers give students the tools for acquiring their own rich vocabulary. Students will learn many new words and phrases when they encounter them in meaningful contexts, but other words must be directly taught. The new words will actually help the students to communicate.
      Second, Pronunciation Teaching has been taught with a goal of “speaking like a native speaker” and “listener- friendly pronunciation”(Kjellin 1998). Teacher should teach students’ problem sound before and after that teach about similar sounds.
      Third, Culture Teaching is the most important to teach students to know and understand in that culture. Teacher should increase culture that student can learn. Students should learn their culture that they can communicate and exchange language with native speakers.
      Fourth, Teaching English using ICT or Web Based Learning is teaching and learning supported by attributes and resources of internet (Khan,1997;Relan&Gillami, 1997). Teacher must use resources that appropriate of activities. It good for teacher because it can motivate students to learn.
      To sum up, teacher should select approach to teach that appropriate for you. I think I can apply to plan my lesson that approach I want to use. I know if I’m a teacher in the future I must teach from easy to hard and I must think about student's ability and background knowledge. It help me to design activities and lesson plan.
