Clever dog saves newborn girl.

Publish : 4 June 2013

          Pui carried the bag back to the home of his master Gumnerd Thongmak and barked loudly to get attention.

          Mr Gumnerd’s niece, Sudarat, 12, said she went downstairs after hearing Pui barking and found the bag on the patio.

          She opened it and was shocked to find a newborn baby inside.

Pui also received a free medical checkup from a local veterinarian and, best of all, plenty of delicious food. Pui should remain well-fed for some time as one local man gave Pui’s owner 10,000 baht for...

And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right
And We'll Be United

And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Chat on my facebook
Today, I chat with someone in my facebook. I use English to speaking with someone who speaking English. At the beginning, I greeting “hello”. I ask some Question to him for introduce himself. He is Turkey. He can speaking English but some word I can’t understand. The story that I want to say with him is about his country and tell about different Thai and Turkey.
On my chat, I ask question “What do you think about Thailand and turkey. He said “Thai is very good and Turkey is very good too.”I think, when I tell “I am Thai”, he may b e like me because he never speak English with Thai people. In some word that In write to him . he don’t understand because I may use wrong word. When he ask some question for me, I can tell to him but some rude question I can’t tell to him.
Using English on my facebook is important for people’s other country because Thai is language that different. Thai language is a local language but English language is international language. So, in my chatting must be use English language to communicate. When I chat with people’s other country, I must chat with someone that have trust such as, a teacher, etc. for make chat have effective.
