Elementary Composition – Day

Yesterday is April fool’s day. It’s the day everyone become a liar. When I was a student(of middle&high school), we all became a liar. My friends and I changed the class with a senior for deceiving teachers. Also, we used to sit on chairs with changing their direction(for instance, with turning back). And to my friend, I lied the teacher called her to a teacher’s room. There were many lies amusing people.

But, these days, April fool’s day isn’t like a April fool’s day. Lying text messages in cell phone doesn’t occur any more. Because we are growing older. Sometimes, I miss these playing that we used to do when we were young.

Everybody learns something in their entire life . As  I am a part of everybody , I am always studying wether I like it or not in my whole life. This is what I want to talk about. If you have no choice but to do it , why would you do it happily? It seems easy , but doing things enjoyfully is not that simple matter even if most of people would know that it is right to do. For instace, let’s look back on what I have been doing from friday night up  to now. Frankly speaking, I haven’t done anything related with study,and  even I didn’t clean up my messy desk and the floor that my clothings have been  exhibited as if cicada comes from the  pupa. What a loser I am! How can I be called a student? I am so ashamed to confess what person I am. I want to be different! If so,how can I be changed?

I need to restart my resolutions up again. It’s been about a month that I have not kept my resolutions. To maintain my goals, I need to somethindg that can wake me up mentally  and boost my energy. Best thing that I can think of is giving  presents for myself. It could be ridiculous, but I bet and I hope it will work. Presenting myself when each goal is accomplished. Then, I could feel more sarisfied and get some power to maintain to go further.

I will stat right after finishing this writing! My mid-resolutions has just started! I am going to be whole new person. from tonight. I am not a loser any more.

Have you ever read “butterfly” written by Jeon Kyoung-Rin? I read it by accident on Friday. It is written for women and It has a great picture every pages. There are 20, 25, 30, 33, 40 years old women’s life and love in the book. Among them, I’m touched 20 years old women’s part. Because the writer explained very well. So I sympathized. Especially, I like this sentence “Even if everything is unclear, you don’t need to be sad. Because it’s right of people who is 20 years old.” It consoled me for my anguish. Actually, I’m worrying about my future. Because I can’t predict anything about my future. But, now, I’m relieved. I realized life can’t be predicted. If anyone worry about your unsure future or want to know women’s life and love, read this book! It’s helpful.

I have an American friend. His name is Thomas, He was my teacher when I studied English conversation at Institute on winter vacation. He’s really outgoing, so we became a friend easily, even though I am so shy. But, he quitted his job in February. He wanted to travel in Australia in March, and go back to America in April. So, I didn’t see him for a month, I just contacted him on the Internet. But, he called me, so I met him with some friends on Friday night. I had a dinner, and drank. He told me his trip, and invited me and my friends to his hometown, Las Vegas. Actually, I didn’t spend a long time that day because it was too late. But, I was really glad to see him, and I hope he will have a great time in America. 

  If you want to know whether your boyfriend or girlfriend is a spouse or not, you can do napkin fortune-telling for fun. In the beginning, break a napkin in ten pieces, which are long shape. After that, roll up the pieces of napkin separately. While someone is holding these pieces, choose two pieces, tie them, and repeat that four times more. When you’re done, someone hold these pieces in the opposite direction. Then, choose two pieces, tie them, and repeat that four time more. Finally, someone sets it free, check how it’s shape looks like. If you get a big circle, he or she is your spouse. If you get two binding circles, it means just lovers. If you get three binding circles, it means a love triangle. If you get many circles, it is not good divination sign. The probablity of one big circle is one to fifty. In my experience with my friends, it worked like magic. I don’t know why, but you can enjoy this fortune-telling.

 Today, after school, I came back to home, and I found a letter on my desk. I was surprised, and I hoped it will be from my friend, Kyung-min. In January, he joined the military. Now he’s serving in the Navy. About two weeks ago, he called me, and let me know his news. After the call, I sent a letter to him. 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. I thought even if e-mail will have great development, the letters won’t disappear. Writing a letter, mailing it, waiting for it, and recieving it give us happiness, which is different from using e-mail. That’s why people  still write letters.

Sometimes I worry about my future and wonder what I am going to do after I graduate. Actually, I want to be an interpreter but I am not sure if I have the right talents and traits to become a good interpreter. I am so shy and not really good at speak loud in front of many people. The more I become to think it will be hard for me, the more passion I feel inside myself. I like learning English. I think it sounds beautiful and have a lot more sophisticated meanings than Korean do. I just feel happy and interesting when I am learning or studying English. I believe that the passion and love for English I have is enough, but I think I should have more confidence and faith in my dream.

Yesterday, my small group had party for freshman. So we drank Soju and beer. But my feeling was not good. I caught cold. I had got a fever. So I was eating Ssang hwa tang and medicine, before I went to party. When I arrived that,  I was along with freshman. They were pleased with this party. I was very happy, too. After we drank, we went to karaoke. But I couldn’t spend long time. I was very tired and sick. So, I came out first. I was very missing.

when I was a first year in high school. I met a girl. Actually I had heard about her before I met her. Someone said she was s trouble maker. She smoked, drunk, and even liked riding a motorcycle. So I had a prejudice to her. One day, I had a chance to talk with her about now and the future. I was surprised. Because she was maturer than any other students about the some age. She already decided to her route, and she also had a dream same with me, lawyer.

  After the time, we became good friend. I liked her very much, so I didn’t like that she smoked and drunk especially rode a motorcycle. Riding motorcycle without a helmet is really difficult. But sometime she enjoyed riding a motorcycle without a helmet. I asked her to quit riding a motorcycle. Whenever I asked her, she answered just “Yes”. But she didn’t quit anything.

  Finally, when I was a second year in high school, during vacation, she died cause of car acident. At that time she didn’t have helmet but her motorcycle clashed with a car. She died on the spot.

  After she died, I was depressed for a long time. I couldn’t sleep and eat for few days. Sometimes I dream about her until nowadays. I miss her so much, and I hope we’ll meet again in the heaven.

I live in the dormitory in campus. Living in a dorm room is not so uncomfotrable, actually it’s pretty comfortable to live there. Anyway, I came home this weekend to just relax myself and take some rest. I made a list of the food I would want to eat, but as soon as I arrived home, all I did is just sleeping. I slept whole morning and then I had lunch and I slept again. How come is it possible? I usually don’t sleep much but coming home, all I really want is just to sleep! Well. I guess I was too tired during weekdays but didn’t even noticed it.

Three weeks away from freedom and I’m not sure if I want freedom at all
I enjoy the stressfulness of sleepless nights

I enjoy the relief after a hard exam, either when I nailed it or not

I enjoy the midnight chats with my friends that are basically just consist of one topic “I hate exam”

The problem is, I lost the passion of studying. I left it behind when I moved up to the Jounior year. So now what I do is, faking the enjoyment of all of those things. I want it back, I want to feel it, I don’t want it to ever go away.

I used to like drinking milk. I uaually held a nurser tho drink milk. I refused to eat weaning food. I just wanted to drink milk. My mother said to me ” It was very serious. Because you had to eat weaning food. Milk was not enough for yuor nutrition.” however, when I was 4years old, I had an accident. An unexpected thing happened to me. I bit the teat, do the teat had a very big hole. I didn’t realize, because I was too young to know that. The milk poured into my mouth. After, I had an attack of indigestion. I vomitted whenever I ate some food. At midnight I went to the hospital. the doctor said to m mother ” she has to be looked after for about 1month. But I was hospitalized for 2months. Actually I couldn’t remember all things. After that i couldn’t drink milk ,and I couldn’t eat dairy products as well. If I dadn’t milk, I might not have hurt my stomach. I think if I had drunk a lot of milk, I would taller than now. 

 April is Spring.. and Today is holiday But!! cold and Cloudy..Like a winter. Sky is glay, I don’t see nobody in street. I think that they don’t want to go outside Because Weather is Worst and Listen to music at home. At Rainy day I used to think many things…such as my past and present my shape and future and have negative thinkings. i don’t know about why i had this mind.   

 

Today I saw a movie that is Pride and Prejudice.

It was beautiful and moving.

Especially in the movie, hero who is Dashi was wonderful.

Dashi is considerate person. And he very shy.

But his love is great.

 I and my friend was happy after movie ended.

I want to see a drama Pride and Prejudice.

 In the drama pride and prejudice, the actor Colin Firth plays the hero.

Colin Firth is my favorite actor.

I think Colin Firth fit for that role.

The story of Rip Van Winkle is that first American imaginative fiction.Rip van winkle is an amiable farmer who wanders into Kaatskill mountains. He was a simple good natured man. .

When spceship travle universe for 10 years, but in the earth time passed 1000years at the same time. This apply to the case ‘theory of relativitty. Scientist find that similaity between Rip’s situation and relativity .

What is the most important thing in our life? I sometimes ask to my friends this question. Then, someone said that it is money as a joke or truly. Or someone answered that it is love. However, I believe that the most important thing is health. In truly, I was sick last year and I had a big surggery on my shoulder. At that time, I had a very hard time and I was so depressed. And I realized health is really important thing after losing my health. I am still sick a little bit and I have to see a doctor regularly, but I really try to keep and recove my health such as taking a swimming lesson even though it is a little hard. If you don’t try to keep your health, you won’t be healthy and regret like me.

It’s about one of my best friends’ story.

  A couple of weeks ago, my friend had a blind date with a guy. He was not only handsome, but also polite, quite humorous and popular with many girls. He’s so-called ‘Casanova’. And she forgot herself as she met him for the first time. But she worried about herself. She has thought she looks so beautiful and charming. So, she thought she didn’t deserve to have a date with him. She felt like breaking her heart if she loves with him. And the really sad thing was she was dumped by him at the blind date. She felt desperated and was cried for a whole day. She made a phonecall to me at around midnight, and talked me her feelings crying over and over. I found myself at a loss for words of consolation. I was also sad, because I really love her. How can I speak smoothing words to her? Please give me an advice.

Trees and flowers are necessary for people to live.

  Plants can protect people from air polution. They can purify dirty air to clean air through photosynthate. Also, plants control the temperature of earth cannot increased anymore. Thank to them, we don’t really suffer from skin cancer or after effects from a green house effect. In addition, plants can help people give an emotional stability when they are under stress.

  The problem is that many countries cut plants down, and earn huge incomes by selling. But, we are not owners of earth. We are just users. For our descendents, we have to keep our environment. First, more governments should publish ‘Arbor day’ every year than now, and encourage people to plant trees and flowers. Seconds, environmental communities or organization should hold campaigns to realize recent problems around them.

  Without plants’ help, people cannot live longer and healither. Before thinking of our benefits and conveniences, we’d rather think about what way is more wiser. We should keep plants with all of our efforts.

I went shopping to the save zone with my mom. Actually, I don’t have nice skirt. So I want to buy new skirt. My mom and I chose my skirt but we had a problem. Because my mom stop chosing skirt. And then she start chosing pants.I want to buy skirt. I have my own style. But she never listens to me. Mom! I’m not kid!!

 In most cases, a person shouldn’t judge by external appearances. In many cases, sometimes when I walk down the street at night, I avoid people like migration workers from East South Asia. I feel they look dangerous because of their appearances. Their skin color is dark and there are so many rumors about migration workers are dangerous, but in general I prefer to reserve judgment until I get to know someone. Judge someone by external appearance can be deceptive. Judgment based on external appearances prevent you from getting know a person.

             In high school, I was one year older than my classmates, because I’ve been to abroad for one year. At first time my classmates avoid me because they though I am kind of ‘bad student’. As time goes by, after they getting know about me they start to be friendly with me. Later they told me my first impression was not so good but, after they know about my character and story, they could be talk with me and they realize that they shouldn’t judge a person by appearances.

              If you form an opinion of someone based on stereotypes you risk never getting to know someone who is different. You might miss out on an opportunity to have a good friend. And you are reinforce that stereotype by believe it with out given the person a chance.

             Judging people by external appearance is superficial and often unfair. After all, you do not know what circumstances the person might be face or who the person really is. Perhaps the person comes from a less fortunate wear. However, that does not mean the person is less intelligent or interesting than you.

             People should not judge new people they met, and should take a time to get to know them. External appearance often does not tell us anything about a person.

After class, I had an apointment with my friends. We promised to see a movie. But when we were going to movie theater, one of my friend’s cell phone rang. after that phone call, she said her grandmother is dead. So, I went to funeral. And while I was goind to home, I thought about losing precious people. For me, my grandmother. she passed away in March, 2005. When I heard her death for the first time, I couldn’t believe. Because I didn’t expect to her death. But I could accept it after I saw people who visit funeral. Actually, I don’t have many memories of her. I didn’t live with her and her house was too far from my house, so, I didn’t see her very often. But she was really good grandmother for me, and I miss her tonight. 

Seoul has advantages and disadvantages. Seoul has a very nice living environment like public transportation, shopping mall, public school and so on. Especially subway system covers almost region of Seoul and quite cheap. And there are many big and nice companies and this is why so many people are living in Seoul. Seoul is one of the safest cities over the world. But, there are 3main defects that make people think that Seoul is not a good place to live. Air-pollution, high living cost and over population is that. First, air-pollution is very negative facts for health and it is one of the main causes of lung cancer. Second, the house price is extremely high in Seoul. Finally, there are so many people in Seoul, so people conflict each other for very trivial things.

The midterm exam season is coming already. A lot of people are showing up in the library and stay there studying until the mid night. I also have started to prepare for the exams. It is a little bit boring and tiresome to be stuck in the library all day long. However it is rather worthwhile to concentrate on my studies, get to know more about my major subject and understand it. Actually it is also good that I don’t have to dress up every morning. I am happy that I enjoy this season, otherwise it would be much harder to bear.

 

 I saw a musical called the last empress. It was great time. I saw it with my family. We didn’t enjoy together for a long time. After we had a dinner together at the restaurant, we enter the Seoul Arts Center. I think that to see a musical is a good chance to meet good songs and beautiful dances. Even though I cannot see a musical often, I really enjoy seeing a musical. 

 The last empress’ songs and voice was great. And the expressions of history were easy to understand the historical situations. The musical describes the procedure smoothly. As you know, The empress was murdered at the end of the story by Japanese soldiers. It is hard to believe that is a real story. I think it is a big tragedy. 

 I was moved the final song called ‘rise, people of Chosun’ which was sung by a ghost of the empress. This is one of the famous song in this musical. I recommend you listening this song and seeing this musical. I had a happy time to enjoy this musical with my family. I wish you enjoy this wonderful Korean musical.

I have a younger brother. He is a high school student. He is 19 yrs old and I’m 21yrs old. He is the top in his class but I have never took first place in my examination. He is very reasonable, logical and patient but I’m really emotional and impatient. He is sort of serious and blunt. He doesn’t talk much. He usually responds too short. Yesterday I said “hey, I bought a MP3 through internet web site.” and he said “ok.” That’s all. He likes to watch sports games on TV but I like to watch dramas and sitcoms. He does not have the guts but I do. When I’m with him, I always talk like a chatterbox. He takes after my mom and I resemble my dad. He has a black face and I have a white face. We don’t have a lot in common but I love him. My brother comes back home from school at 11:30pm. After taking shower, he eats some refreshments. While he has some food, I talk to him. I think it is my happiest time in my day. So I always wait for him until 11:30pm. He doesn’t talk to me but I know he loves me so much. I LOVE my brother.

A couple of weeks ago, it was un unlucky day.

  People usually call the day Murphy’s day. In the morning, I got up late and I felt like being late for school. Because I was so hurry to go to school, I forgot to take my cellphone, wallet, and credit card. When I arrived at the train staition, I realized I didn’t take something. But, I cannot go back home. So, I decided to gain some coins on the street. I felt so ashamed, but I cannot help doing that. After arriving at school, I borrow some money from one of my classmates who I’ve hardly ever been hand and gloves with each other. Anyway, I could barely get fare to come home. But the problem is that nobody was at home. I didn’t have keys, cellphone, and any money! It was terrible. Only thing I can do was just waiting and waiting. It was too cold to stand on the passage of my story. I really wanted to shout loudly. At that time, my younger brother came up to 7th floor and I could be in my home. All the day seemed like Murphy’s day, and what is worse, I got really bad cold.

Have you been in love? There are many kinds of love. For example, there is love between parents and their children. There is also love among friends. But generally, when we talk about love, it must be about couples. Some poeple don’t even believe in love, and even if they believe in it and love somebody deeply, things still don’t work and they might get hurt. Loving somebody and being loved by her/him is not something you can do without efforts. Here are some ways to love your partner.

You should compliment freely and often. Compliment  is not something you can do only to your partner. This is what you can do to everyone around you if you love and cherish them. Secondly, you should appreciate and celebrate differences. You can’t expect your parter to change everything for you. You should respect her/his opinions and thought,which are different from yours without complaining about them or disparaging her/him.  When you respect your partner you can expect to be respected by him/her.  You should also be forgiving. people make mistakes. Your parter can make mistakes too. You can just forgive what s/he has done instead of getting angry and blame her/him. Lastly, you should apologize sincerely. After you have an argument with your partner, Even if you don’t think the matter is your fault it’s important for you to be willing to apologize first.

Many people are in love. Some people maybe are looking for their love. But if you really want to love someone, the first thing you should do has to be respecting and adoring her/him.  Love is what God gives two imperfert people to work out and make it beautiful. You should thank for your partner for loving her/him and being loved by her/him.
