There are many reasons why people drink. One think is peer pressure, which can be very powerful motivation. Korean thinks friendship is really important. So it’s difficult to refuge friends asking. Korean emotion affect people who are forced to drink. And at this point alcohol can make people close. If people want to get close each other, it’s very common thing to drink together. The other thing is that people tend to reduce their depression by drinking. Anyone can have a hard time, during the whole lives. At that time, people drink to get out of depression. By drinking, people can temporary make himself or herself feel up. Last thing is to celebrate. Alcohol works on turning people’s mind upbeat. So people drink alcohol happily when the party is held.

There are many kinds of alcohol.   for eample;whiskey.beer.wine and soju.alcohol have a both aspect;advantage and disadvantage.first of all alcohol useful alcohol make stress-release and feeling good and make fun atmosphere.second alcohol harmful too much alcohol drink can cause liver damage and hang over.alcohol also expensive and time-wasting.so alcohol have have a both aspect.

One of the secret of success is concentration and ideas.

Most people get frustrated when they fail and would not try again.

But people who eventually succeed will focus on what they can do well and continue doing it.

Up until now people who work hard have succeeded and for that reason we respect them.

But this has changed. In times like these, we must be creative.

In other words, people with ideas can succeed.

We should come up with great ideas no one would think up. 

 

I took the subway to go to sinchon yesterday. The subway was crowded. Fortunately, I took a seat beside a young woman who was talking on the phone. She was carrying on loud conversations with no regard for other people. I was so upset but i didn’t say anything. An half an hour later when i got off my stop she was still going on. People who have good manners leave good impressions.

 In conversation class, I got an awful and goose-bumped truth about who I had believed in he was the one of the greatest leaders not only in America but entire world. Can you guys guess whom I am talking about? He is Ablaham Lincon. Not only me but most korean students have known him as an exallent leader. Yes, he was a good leader for white people or citizens, but not for the blacks. I would say African – American. You could say that I am stupid beacause the fact that he freed black people from under the name of slavery.

 There is a somthing to talk about it. When did he free them? It was after the civil war. I would say he could have freed them before the civil war occured if he really meant and felt sorry to them. However, he didn’t. If he thoght that blacks have equal right like white,he should have let those people free first and let them fight for their own rights,but he didn’t. What implies you? Do you feel anything?

 He was a calculated and mean and smart person as well. He thought let blacks free right after the war could affect on southernes whoes economy was run by majority group of blak. Actually it did and he succeeded in it. Before since I didn’t know  the awful truth, I had been thaught like he was the greatest guy in terms of all what he did for people.

I can not say that whole concept of him is fake, but at least I have samll eyes to see what is under the truth that I have heard and believed. I am glad that at least now I can think the other way around any truths in which are witten or taught by majority of historians could contain a kind of winners minds.

Does it excist a real truth? Everyhting is curved and distorted. You could realize by looking at the mirror. It shows the exact opposite side of real things.

There is one truth that there is no such a perfect  truth out there

 A freind of mine is a really nice person in terms of her abillty to make friends and hospitality to everybody whom she’ve met. I would say that she is warm hearted. Actually I somewhat admire her of those things. However, What i want to make sure about her is that she has a low self-esteem. Too much of self-esteem is also a problem to get along with people but to lower yourself is also a problem which  can’t be overpassed.

 I want her to be more proud of herself. She deserves it. Nothing can block her but herself makes a wall from to-be -better-life. Every single time when I happen to meet her, I always tell her that don’t lower yourself. I assume that she thinks telling and behaving like she is not ego-sentric and not good at anything are representing herself as a humble person , but it is not!

 She misunderstands the concept of a humbleness. I want her to realize that what a truly moderate person is. She needs to be see a silver light from cloudy sky.  She has got to feel she, herself is a great person and doesn’t have to be scared anybody who don’t like her! I want to her know that the fact you can not please everybody! It just impposible.

Don’t have to challenge you! by doing unprfitable work.

Hey! my Freind Get rid of your persona! and be mean!!

what the hell.

The weather drive me crazy!

 Sometimes it is very warm, but sometimes it is very cold.

I don’ know what to do.

And so badly, i got a catch cold.

I get hoarse.

Im so sad.I wanna chatter with my friends, and i wanna singing.

Anyway, I don’t know the weather.

 

Spring is coming. Thesedays I can’t figur out which day is warm or cold. It is very changeable weather. When I wear coat and a mufler the weather must be warm,even hot.  The oppisition situation happen many times, too. Yesterday I wore just T-shirt and blue jean because I expected real spring and wanted to enjoy it. That was my mistake. All the time I was outside I was shaking my body. How about today?? Due to yesterday I chose a thick jumper. Other people wear pretty spring clothes.

I’m a highschool-part teacher at my church.

So every sunday I have conversation time with my students.

I want to talk about their life and mind.

In other words, I strive for hear my students’ worry and talk my experiences about that and pray for them.

But teenagers are adolescent boys and girl.

So they express rebellious spirits or shyness or other complex feelings.

For example, someone doesn’t look up his face while my class going on.

Or almost of them don’t  long-answer  to my questions.(answer “yes” or “no”)

Or one man puts a stony face.

I understand their respons but I feel difficulty.

When we has better conversations, sharing each other’s mind will be  easy.

I pray Iwill be a good teacher to my students.

And I hope that I will take care them better than now and make more comfortable our relationships.

I love all of them….

I need excercise very much. I feel not only very tired but also back pain.

When I ran every day last year for three month, I can feel wonderful effect. I was suffering from anemia and back pain. After running -actually, it was brisk walk-, I was healthier than before absolutely. Excercise make some muscle in my body and my shoulder hold up. However, after I stopped exercising, I started to feel pain again. I always used to make plausible execuses to myself such as bad, cold weather, tired. From now, I will not.

I have a plan about it. I can’t do it every day because of an institute. Therefore, I will exercise every other day for two hours.

If you keep your health, you should try to do exercise right now.

 

Are you a morning person?

I am definitely not a morning person. It’s just hard for me to wake up early in the morning. However, in this semester, I decided to try to wake up early so that I don’t waste time sleeping in. Unfortunately I have difficulty coming to classes on time everyday. I want to excuse being late as due to a long distance from home to the school.  It takes about one hour and a half. The problem is I knew it would be hard before I made a schedule. I cannot blame anyone.

I have another problem. I’ve been trying to read a book everytime I get on the subway, but I am too sleepy to read something. If I don’t sleep in a subway I become so tired when I get to school.

Did I make a mistake? I want to be a morning person.

Today, one of my arond got married. So I went to the marriage ceremony hall. Thesedays, korean wedding ceremony similar with western countries’s. We wear a dress and tuxedo instead of ‘Han-bok’. We use western music (like a wedding march) instead of custom music. And ater wedding ceremony, we have a honeymoon. But long time ago, our ancestors didn’t have any honeymoon.

But we still have a part of tradition.
we called “pyae-back(?)”. The bride and the bridegroom wear ‘Han-bok’ and also their families wear ‘Han-bok’. Their parents tell them well-wishing remarks and advise for the future.

I was impressed about this ceremony. They looked like real Korean. I hope that it is continued to exist.

 As soon as I got up in the morning, and have a breakfast, I watched the baseball game with my father.

The match of today is a little lacking. Merely, It makes my heart hurt not to make a one score at playing Japan.

But Korean athletes played well. I’m very well as going on to the semifinals!

There is the other lacking thing.

It is the press or the broadcasting that flustered when Korea went on to the semifinal.

They were very quiet after Japan defeated Korea. Just my thinking…

Anyway, I’m thankful to atheletes for make a boast of our own country ! hahaha ^^

After I ate breakfast, I turned on my computer. And clicked my ‘minihomepy(CYWORLD)’ habitually. That moment, I was found that today is my friend’s birthday. Me it surprised and I sent text massage to friend, “Happy birthday to you! so, what are you doing for your birthday?” That time, I thought ‘May be, he have a nice plan’ But he sent massage to me, “I see the roof in my house alone.” I was alarmed. ” There is something wrong,” I thoght. I was so sorry for his birthday. Because, I know that how lonesome of alone on birthday! Moreover, like to me, He has living away from his family. So I call out him, and I spent my time for my friend. Though I didn’t have many things for my friend, but I felt happy that I gave someting to him for his special day.

After all, friend is best. I realize the importance of my friends once again.

 

I have been occupied with my work these days.

one of the hardest thing for me is getting a driver licence.

i didn’t know that getting the this took the time a lot.it’s not over yet. some of the course is left to me. i think it will be over next month.i regret to not get a licence earlier than now.

second thing is prepare to study bible every saturday.

but, this is so difficult for me to find the answer.

these days, we are studying in Hebrews, the more interesting we know this part.

beyond i have to do a lot, but i can manage everything^^ 

 

 When I was a child, I liked ‘A Rose of Versailles’. It is a cartoon with Versailles in France. This cartoon is about Marie Antoinette who is a queen of Louis XVI. I like a drawing way of this cartoon because it’s so beautiful and fatastic. I liked Marie Antoinette because her character is so beautiful. And I also liked Oscar-Francois de Jarget who is a woman in male attire. Many girls liked her because she is so sexy. Since I watched this cartoon, I have been into French history, French, and Versailles. That’s why I chose French for my major.

Last class, proffesor gord told us about Maus. And he said that he didn’t remember cartoonist’s name. 

Maus’s cartoonist is Art Spiegelman.  He was awarded the pulizer prize with Maus in 1992. As  cartoon it recieves the pulizer prize at the begining.

Maus is consists of two books, ’1.My Father Bleeds History’ and ’2.And Here My Troubles Began’. It is the story of Vladek Spiegelman ,who is a survivor of Nazi Europe, and also Art Spiegelman’s father. Art spiegelman is a jew. Title ‘Maus’ is just mouse and it symbolize a jew that is suffered by Nazis. Undoubtedly, cat appear and this cat means Nazis. And also other people are personifed. A Poles are personified as a pig, and Americans are personifed as a dog.

This story tell us ’what did Nazis do to the jew?’ that we don’t know. That we only know is ’German have to reflect on themselves and apolize for the jew.’. That’s all. So, i recommend you.

This is only idle talk. I think, Mr. Vladek Spiegelman is very smart.

I am having a very busy day today. I have a bunch of homework to do, texbooks to read, and I also need to go to a grocery store to feed myself. I thought I could have finished all my assignments during this weekend but I haven’t, even a half of them.

 Well, the new semester seem to just started but it is already heading to the middle of it. I hate busy day and I hate myself being lazy.

Do you like Green tea? I like Green tea.

To be honest with you, It’s tasty is not good.

but it is good to lose weight. and smell is a beautifle.

I love it. China is a variety of green tea. The price devided to it’s quality.

It’s very Good for your health.

I am interested in musical.

musical is total theatre. musical has music, acting,and Dance.

it is defferent from movies, and therter.

I have been learn musical at the Nam’s musical academy 2times a week.

it’s very difficult to me but very interering.

 

When I was a middle school student, my friend told me the story about “while you were sleeping.” I didn’t see it at the time but I watched the movie few days go. There is no superstar like Julia Roberts. The movie just told us ordinary family love and life which Lucy(main character) doesn’t have. Ironically the things made me touched. Sometimes people forget how important the family is in their life. Also, they pass through trivial matters but precious value in the life. If you want to be emgrossed in it,”While you were sleeping” would be good.

I teach English and math to a high school student. yeah, I’m a tutor. I have been teaching for seven months. He is the third grade in high school student. you know, it’s really important period. but he doesn’t study hard and he is bored with his study. I’m worried about hime a lot. Among part time jobs, tutoring is best part time job, i think. First, I can take a seat. when I worked at conveniece store in freshman, I stood for eight hours a day. It killed me. Second, I can get much money. Pay is good than other jobs. Third, it’s worth to teach someone. When he understand my explanation clearly and get a good grade in his exam, i feel very happy. I like my part time job!

snow is really warmer than the subzero air that kills many plants. thus,snow insulates the plants it covers from the killing cold.one observer noticed that some shruds bloomed only up to the depth of the winter snow that protected their buds.the buds higher up had been killed by the cold and did not bloom.

have you seen the movie “Ice Princess” ? i watched it a few days ago. Casey is a high

school student. She and her single mother has a goal of attending Harvard. Casey has to

prepare for science project to get a scholaship for Harvard. While she was focused on her

project about skating, she discovers her raw talent about figure skating. On Harvard

interview day, she said no Harvard. Her mom is really mad at her. But she says ” i gave

your goal. i will go after my goal ” Her mother can’t afford to skating and she had a

original goal but she challenges it.  Throughout Casey’s trials and triumphs, i think of my

dream a lot. actually i don’t have a clear dream. i just want to get a good job after

graduating university. Are you guys worried about future? just watch Ice Princess.

Are you forgetful? Yes, I’m really really forgetful. so, I have many episodes about my bad habit. The last episodes happened on Friday. I had homework which is submitted until noon on Friday. But, I forgot. When I realized I didn’t submit my homework, It was too late. So, I am trying to get rid of my bad habit by writing important things. But, It’s not easy for me. Because I also forgot where I put my note pad, even I forgot writing important things. It drives me crazy…

First, three people met.

Then we bought martini, tequila, lemon ….

We are not drinkers

We just spend our time.

Feelings are very good and we talk a lot of things about many kinds of subject.(love, family, culb, study, job..and so on)

We share our secret.

We don’t know that we has many things.

Our friendship became more powerful.

So, it was very satisfactory night.

I cannot drink. Actually, I can little but I don’t want to. The first reason is alcohol makes me turn red very fast and severely. It does not look good. I feel so embarrassed. If I should have a drink inevitably in particular situation, I need to drink a lot of water. I have thought about the reason why I turn deeply red. Some people say I don’t have any element for detoxicating alcohol or have little. Others say I ‘m not suited for alcoholic drink at all. Fortunately, I don’t like it. However, I had a glass of wine about a month ago. It was great!! I didn’t feel any headache and my face didn’t turn red almost!! I was very happy that I find out the fact. Since I found out, I bought a cheap bottle of wine. When I’m used to have no sleep, I drink a little. It makes me calm and peaceful. Thanks to wine, I find another happiness at dawn. I love it.

You guys are doing a great job! I’m very impressed. I am waiting before I post individual comments, because I don’t want to make people nervous about posting. But I will make a couple of notes for you guys and the other Elementary Writing Class Blog, just some general notes of things I’ve noticed.

First, a lot of people like to use smilies. Western smilies look like or . I know some Korean smilies are different, using Hangeul letters or carets, like this: ^^ … But since we’re practicing academic writing, it’s better to avoid these things. Also, in academic writing, we wouldn’t write kkk (or, in English, Hahaha or LOL). As I said, this is okay in comments, but I know you can find other ways of expressing that feeling in English. Usually, I write something like, “That’s so funny!” or “That’s hilarious!” Try it!

Second: everyone please rememeber, we’re working on paragraphs. You should try to bring all the sentences together in paragraph blocks, like I am doing. Don’t write single lines disconnected. Put your sentences together into paragraphs!

Third: keep blogging! You’re doing a good job and I am honestly enjoying reading your posts!

i feel so gloomy,

i’m so hard to think about the matter what it is in mind.

i don’t want to accept this feeling. but i will overcome this matter.

a few minutes ago, my girlfriend called me.

someone makes me very hard.

although i found the solution, i can’t manage it.

it is so hard to say something ㅠㅠ
