A made-up story (No.1)
It was a sunny Sunday morning. I was walking on a path way in the park near my house, enjoying the beautiful weather. Suddenly, I saw a man lying on the ground. He was sleeping with his head leaning on a wooden bench while his hand was still holding a green bottle. The bottle was empty and he stank of wine. He must had drunk too much last night.
I wondered what happened to that man. At first I thought there must be something terrible happening to him lately. Shortly, I realized, however, I was totally wrong. He was the guy who won a million dollars in the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire yesterday. So there was no way he got drunk because of the sadness in life. Certainly, he was just sleeping on his victory after emptying out a bottle of wine. What a taste of happiness!
Then, I realized deep inside my mind I felt jealous of him, not because of his success but his ability to get dunk so easily – just one single bottle of wine, that was all he needed. Sometimes, I want to drink to madness then falling asleep to forget the world for a while. What prevents me from doing so, however, is that I am pretty good at drinking, so if I want to get drunk, I will have to spend all of my savings buying wine. The only thing made me feel a bit better was at that moment I was the one enjoying the beautiful Sunday morning, not him. I smiled and walked away leaving him alone with the dreams he might be having.

What a epic song!
Lately, I have been addicted to a song named Star Sky by Two Steps From Hell. Its melody is so charming that I can't get rid of playing it again and again.
It was last Sunday morning. I was on my room, enjoying my weekend with a cup of coffee, and surfing the Internet. Just by chance, I found a short video on Youtube about a Middle-earth battle near the Lonely Mountain, known as the Battle of Five Armies, in which the Dwarves, Elves and the Men of Dale against the Orcs and Wargs. When the video was first played, immediately I was absorbed by its background music - what a beautiful melody! The song made my day and I kept listening to it the whole morning.
I don't know what the song is really about, but listening to the song, especially the chorus, makes me think of a warrior who is being torn between his honor to serve his King, his Lands and the true love of his life - something reminds me of Within Temptation with Hand of Sorrow. Looking at his own reflection in the mirror, he (the "I" in the lyrics?) wants to escape from being the man (the "you" in the lyrics?) of love and care, however it seems impossible as that man is a part of him, and his heart is torn apart.
"...Burn the page for me
I cannot erase the time of sleep
I cannot be loved so set me free
I cannot deliver your love
or caress your soul
so turn that page for me
I cannot embrace the touch that you give
I cannot find solace in your words
I cannot deliver you your love
and caress your soul..."

BLACKBERRY BUSHES
(Translated from Kevin’s note: https://www.italki.com/notebook/2457447/entry/721531)
Near my office, there are many blackberry bushes around the fence. A Blackberry trunk can grow up to 3 meters high, and its sharp thorns can cut through clothes very easily. Definitely I don’t want to suddenly be fallen into/onto/on/in (?) a blackberry bush. It will hurt, and I will get many small scratches on my skin.
Two months ago, blackberry bushes started bursting into/growing blackberries. When careful to pick up berries to eat, I think/thought (which tense?) about people who pick up berries as a job, they should have/wear “a pair of thick gloves” (correct and natural?) to prevent from being scratched by the thorns. However, I read a bit about blackberry tree, and then I knew/know (again which tense?) there are (could I use “there were” instead?) some varieties of blackberry not having thorns. Anyway, I would imagine that it’s still such a difficult thing to do.
