What a Scary Happening On Hiking

  People are scared of viruses because viruses like HIV, SARS, and mad cow disease spread easily. Especially mad cow disease may spread quickly because dogs, cats. and cows breed quickly. But when people go hiking, they will be scared of animals, especially rich people. One day I went hiking alone, and I watched people. At that time, I saw many rich men and women. Because people want to look nice, people usually wear diamonds as shiny jewerly. I think rich people want to look nice even when they go hiking.  Animals like foxes, lions, tigers, bears, and snakes may attack people because they like people’s shiny jewerly. I saw that one bear attacked to people because of that reason, and they started to escape. But it was also dangerous decision. Animals such as lions, tigers, snakes, and bears are dangerous if they escape because it makes animals want to follow them.  The bear started to follow them.

The sky in which birds fly is bright blue and white clouds look like cotton candy. In the distance, Nam mountain is beautiful green color. Furthermore, there are a tower which is one of the symbols of Seoul. I like to sit there looking at the view. Sometimes, I have lunch there. It makes me forget everything. Additionally, during sunset, I can see a picturesque scene. The sky is dyed orange. White clouds change to orange clouds. The splendor of the setting sun makes me reminiscent of the past. So, I recall many happy events in my life listening to musics. It makes me joyful. Further, during the night, I can see a fantastic night view of Seoul. Even if it is difficult to see a lot of stars, sometimes I can find some stars. The tower of Nam mountain is lit up at night.

I hoped he will recieve it well because whenever I sent letters to my friends, it didn’t go well. In this reason, when I found the letter, my heart fluttered.

The latest movie ” A Lewd Confucianist”

Under 18 people can’t watch this movie because it is a movie for adults. In the Choson Dynasty period, confucianists were a symbol of the intellectuals. Sometimes they can’t do something freely for keeping up their dignity. In this movie, one of confucianists starts to write a lewd story and the other confucianist starts to illustrate. There is a love story. One of queens is falling in love with the confucianist who is a writer. Now I won’t tell anymore for you who didn’t watch it. There are many lewd jokes. And the color sense in this movie is the best.  You can see beautiful Korean dress, Hanbok. There are famous two actors and one actress. In this reason, I’m sure you can enjoy this movie.
