Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Yearbooks are a tangible reminder of our childhood experiences. Looking at pictures from when we were younger is always a walk down memory lane. Teenagers are awkward, so it’s likely that many yearbook photographs are embarrassing, but they’re still part of the past.

Jeff just found an old yearbook. How does Gary react? Find out in this English lesson about memories.

i like to look through my yearbook and walk down memory lane. Agree with u, guys, it’s so exciting to return to the past. And sad at the same moment; as for me i don’t wanna become an adult and when i look at my old photoes where i was much younger, i think like “omg, the time is running. Please, stop!”

I don’t know where my yearbooks are now. We don’t have a permanent place to stay so sometimes when we move to a different place stuff get missing. I like it better though if I still had them.

I don’t have any yearbooks but i have  a lot of photos on my computer about me when I was a teenager.


Sometimes i look these photos and I walk down memory lane, it is funny and in some cases is embarrassing because now I’m different. For example now I’m more elegant and normal, in my teens I wasn’t elegant in dress.

I’ve regreted not to keep it until now. When i moved my house to another place,i see the yearbook and think of necessarity. Does anyday will be needed these things so that i decided to throw it away.. and I did. But I am now father and want to show my youth years to my son so i can compare my youth to youth of my son.It is going to be fun of us if i didnt do it. Anyway I have still time to recover the things that i’ve done it. and now we have a facebook or others which can save the photos till my son grow enough to see it.

I don’t have a yearbook, just some phots my class and of course many photos of my best friends. I like seeing them. It is really tangible think of our past. I guess it good to see how cute and little we are. The clothes we worn are a bit funny but not awkward. What’s more I also think that these photos worth much more than photos todays, when most of us take a photos every minute and share them with everyone even those people who don’t know us. Don’t mention the photos which are photoshoped,they really worth nothing.


But I also think that the most valuable photos are taken in our memory. :-)

I don`t like to remember the past, i live in the presence and think of the future because you`ll regret in any case about something that never comes back or something wrong you did.

I don’t have that kind of “yearbooks”. But when gradulated from primary school,middle school,senior high school or university,we usually made an album filled with lovely photos taken with classmates.:) I don’t think that will be awkward or blackmail materials. They are part of our good memories..


I have an idea,if I could choose my family photos from the past to recently and put them into making the calender.That will be so so great. :)))
