On the last day of this semester, I'd like to thank you all for your contributions to this course, 
and would recommend the following presentation ppt for your fun and further learning:

1. Alexander Pope
2. Alexander the Great
3. Baroque Art
4. Chivalry
5. Dining Etiquette
6. Extraordinary Popular Delusions And the Madness of Crowds
7. George Eliot
8. Hannibal
9. Joust
10. King Arthur
11. Knight in the Middle Ages
12. Narcissus
13. Noah's Ark
14. Roman Gladiators
15. Sparta
16. The Leaning Tower of  Pisa
17. Trojan War
18. Western Architecture

It is right now the coldest moment, and it feels even colder without snow. At the end of yet another semester and lunar year, deep in the freezing winter, I'm looking forward to the spring, with hope rekindled, and expecting my prayers to be answered in wondrous ways - that the dry seasons in life do not last, and we will rejoice and be glad in the coming Sping.

Have nice holidays.
