Elementary Composition – Night

This site is a group effort by the students in Gord's Elementary Composition evening course at Catholic University!

There are many kinds of diets generally known.

Many people have a diet plan. These people take a diet for a personal reason. For example, maintenance of health and for a beautiful body line, etc.. So, I will introduce some kinds of diet – the one food diet, the low insulin diet and a vegetable diet.

The one food diet is to eat one food. For example, when a person eat tomato only all day long, we can tell she is doing one food diet. It is easy to do certainly. But they can be suffered from anemia. Doctors tell one food diet is attended with danger because of undernourishment. It cause dehydration, low blood pressure, dizziness, a hair falls out off, and so one. If you must do one food diet, you should do it for once a week.

The low insulin diet is to control secretion of insulin. Insulin is hormone secreted when we eat. The low insulin food was felt hungry less than a high insulin food . And it contains abundant nutrition. It partakes in fatness and slim body. So if we change a high insulin food into a low insulin food, It is effective. A low insulin food is decided on size of food particle, a character of starch and processing. In particular, a size and form of carbohydrate is very important. For example wheat without pure white is lower than polished wheat. Plainly speaking, people who ate baguette change to rye bread. And people who ate white rice change to eat unpolished rice.

Finally a vegetable is helpful in diet. Red pepper help us to increase calorie consumption. If we eat a red pepper, we can consume 10% of calories. Sea tangle is helped us to reduce grease. Its calories is about 2Kcal but it has many roughages. So it is effected to reduce constipation. Last, a pumpkin is got rid of dropsy because it is a  diuretic food. It is helped blood go on smoothly and reduce cholesterol. Also it has a lot of vitamin A.


Do you believe in fortune?

Have you ever visited a fortune teller? I have talked to fortune teller when I was highschool student. At that time, I asked to fortune teller about my love fortune. The result was bad. He said ‘In your life, you won’t fall deeply in love ‘ oh!! my god!!! I got a shock. But, I didn’t believe that.  And I haven’t been believing until now.

Many people like fortune. Also, they believe in fortune. However, I think it is not good that people fanaticize fortune. Because that is can interfere with their life.

What do you think about this?


These are many reasons that we have interested in hair style.

As to change hair style, we can refresh ourselves. When we are sad and gloomy, we used to decide changing hair style. So, we can cheer up. In korea, a female who cut a hair is regarded to be crossed in love and to escape from the situation.

Have you ever hear the art of physiognomy? Physiognomy is to judge by appearances. And, hair style is one of many ways that we can understand other images. Here is four hair types. First, to have a permanent(wave)  make people seem to be lovely and graceful, sometimes vividly. But, we should be careful beacause we can look like older. Next, to straight is leaved an impression behind purity and innocent. Most people like this hair style. Mext, when people cut a hair, they are regard to be neat, smart and intelligent. This hair style looks like a baby face. To dye an hair looks like personality. According to fancy, we can change a hair color. It make us to be unique. For example, to dye a hair in brown seem to be mild.

Hair style is connected with fashion & trend. In korea, all of people disliked to change hair in the past. So, people grew a hair. But, nowadays people react sensitivity on fashion. As they change hair, they express their personality. And they like to follow a star. So, if there are a star they loved, they almost want to follow their hair style.


I have a friend who looks like my mother.

I have two sisters. One of them is older than me. I have already written little about her. Actually, she lives in my hometown with my grandmother. But nowadays she lives in Seoul with me. Because she became a intern-journalist of newspaper company that located in Seoul. So she is in my house thesedays. She is diligent and honest. As living with me, she washes the dishes, launders clothes and prepares the table instead of me. However, if she sometimes get angry, I scared her. But she is both my best friend and my mentor in thesedays. First of all, she is apparently my mother.


Diet is effort for training ability in Korea.

Last year Yo- ga diet  become popular in Korea. Someone who have opinion that diet is bad to health criti-cize  diet.

 However diet has many merit. They feel more pride as go on a diet and slim person look like more devoted than fat person.

 Specialy good looks is important thing in Korea. Good looks can merit to working intervew and love. If person have same condition, intervewer will prefers more good looks than common looks . I think effort for good looks help you became more special person.


There is flower that have a teaching like a “Halmi flower”.

There is many flower like Rose, Freesia, Tulip. How make many flower’s name ?

 One way is making name from teaching story like “Halmi flower” that mean is grandmother flower in Korea. “Halmi flower” ‘s story is that one mother who have three daughter visited her dauhgter’s home for live with them but they rejected her help. During she look for location of her daughter’s home , she was tired and felt cold. After all she pass away in road. The flower bloom that spot. This flower called “Halmi flower”. This story give theaching that we have to respect our parent.

 Sometimes flower’s name make from their trait. However name having teaching story give chance to thinking about that mean.


Do you like to drink?

So many people like to drink(even though some people like the environment of drinking), and it gives good points to them. However, it doesn’t always make good things. First of all, some people could have a big brute courage, if they were drunken. So, They caused many big problems. For example, they shouted at such a trifle as louldy as possible. Secondly, they sometimes fought one another or with foot passengers. Also, they teared down something. I don’t know why, of course they are, either. They, also, couldn’t temember what the did, so they didn’t apologize to a person who were treated. Therefore, I think we should control ourselves as we are drinking.


Drinking is not so bad!

Do you like drinking? How many times do you drink a week? In my case, I really like drinking with my friends and I drink 3-4 times a week. Some people say that drinking is bad for our health but there are some good aspects of drinking. I want to write it about it.

  First, in Korea drinking is necessary sometimes to be friends with people you do not know. While drinking with unknown person we can have a little conversation with him or she and have a chance to talk about their common interest and can become friends. Drinking is a good way to know about people. Second, it can protect heart disease. On a research, drinking a little bit a day reduces the attack of the disease. When alcohol gets into our body it destroys cholesterol and make the blood pass by more easily. Third, it’s good for mental health. If we drink alcohol it makes us to feel better and it can release our bad stress and that is why we say it’s good for our mental health. For last, in Russia for exaple, alcohol is very useful to win the cold weather. So many Russians  are drinking “Vodka” in daily life.

  But these good aspects are good only when we have enough alcohol. Too much drinking can be very bad for our health. So I want you to say that if you have a chance to drink, drink a little and do not be a drunk person in the street like our Korean people do. A little alcohol can be good for our health!!


Drinking a glass of alcohol per day is useful.

Drinking a glass of alcohol per day is useful to person’s health. That means drinking is not always bad. Once you drink alcohol, you can feel good and be comfortable. And alcohol element helps the circulation of the blood. Moreover, alcohol can dissolve fat and help activation of the body. However, if you much more drink, it’ll be can poison. And it can spoil not only you but also people around you. Therefore, drinking of proper amount is all right but you don’t have to drink much more. That is, what is most important thing we have to know exactly is not quality or price of alcohol but proper amount of alcohol like a glass in each day.


An alcohol makes us lose many things.

 

As we know, we drink an alcohol to improve social relationship. However, even if we enjoy to drink, we always alert about the negative side of it.

To drink an alcohol -especially, overdrinking it- is that we lost many preciously things. First, we can waste a time. Tempting to drink it, if we do it, we don’t have a neccessary preparations. Second, we can have a various accident. When we are drunken driving, we can lost  life. Next, an alcohol make us waste much money. If we often have a chance to drink an alcohol, we can’t stand an anxiouty to drink it. So, we always spend more money than we need. Finally, we can lose self-privacy and thruth. When we drink too much, we can have some mistakes. And we always regret about our badly behavior in the next day.

Following these reasons, we must try to reduce drinking an alcohol. I think we can have a healthy life when we have to do it.


Alcohol make good atmosphere, but it sometimes get bad ending.

 We can talk that drinking is good for us. But we must think about overdrinking. Sometimes we go to a bar for icebreaking or appeasing stress. I think too many university student go to a bar a lot. And fit drinking is very good.  But after we drink over and over, problem might start. Sometimes we may talk bad language each other and it may expand fight. When we drink too much, we can’t control our body. And we may vomit. The worst case, we might fall anywhere. Have you ever seen someone on the side street? If you aren’t careful, you will become like that. Therefore alcohol can make good atmosphere, but it sometimes might get bad ending.


People drink alcohol more for social reason than for personal reason in Korea.

Someone drink alcohol for removing depression but people drink alcohol more for social reason than for personal reason in Korea. Korean have many party for each troup and people tempted drinking alcohol by his friends or co-worker. What is more worst, although they have many task almost every Korean go to drinking.

 Reason of this situation is that social relation ship is important thing for Korean. Korea was agriculture society so they need  someone who work with them easily. In this society, cooperation is important thing.

 Like this, society background make imprtant thing that social relation ship to us.

We can explan why people drinking for social reason.


Use Paragraphs, Please!

Everyone, I want to make sure you understand what I said in class when I said that you should use paragraphs. So I’m going to use some Latin text. The meaning of the text doesn’t matter: just the layout, the format. Okay? Just look at how it’s organized and you’ll see what I mean.

Here’s an example of what you SHOULD NOT do when writing a paragraph:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Nam volutpat feugiat massa.

Integer et mauris.

Donec malesuada mi eget est.

Morbi tortor est, rhoncus eu, placerat sit amet, ultrices vel, enim.

Duis vulputate.

Nullam blandit arcu vitae quam.

Donec vel augue quis enim blandit rutrum.

And here’s an example of what you SHOULD do when writing a paragraph:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nam volutpat feugiat massa. Integer et mauris. Donec malesuada mi eget est. Morbi tortor est, rhoncus eu, placerat sit amet, ultrices vel, enim. Duis vulputate. Nullam blandit arcu vitae quam. Donec vel augue quis enim blandit rutrum. Mauris scelerisque imperdiet sem. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Nulla augue nisi, tincidunt sit amet, venenatis vitae, blandit eu, pede. Morbi elit elit, dapibus eget, vehicula eget, mattis eu, justo. Maecenas suscipit vehicula leo. Vivamus interdum. Proin sed dui ac quam pretium malesuada. Duis scelerisque nunc tristique lorem. Mauris sodales. Aenean iaculis aliquet arcu. In sed est quis ipsum consectetuer gravida. Quisque at lacus. Quisque rhoncus.

Nunc elementum lobortis magna. Donec mi. Donec dictum dolor quis ligula. Duis nibh magna, suscipit et, volutpat at, tristique in, urna. Nulla sollicitudin tincidunt dolor. Cras vestibulum neque a ipsum. Morbi sit amet lectus. Aenean odio velit, placerat eu, porttitor ut, vehicula eget, mauris. Vestibulum luctus tempus massa. In urna. Nulla eget quam sed tellus semper ornare. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

The first example isn’t a paragraph. It’s just a bunch of sentences one by one, which is NOT what I am asking you to write. The second example is of two nicely written paragraphs. Of course, you can’t really indent on this blog, but normally the second paragraph would be indented, if you were printing this text to hand in as homework.

Does that help?


Be careful!! those can happen to you after drinking.

Did you drinking? How many? Bad happenings can happen to you after drinking. For example, car accident can happen to you , when you get dead-drunk. Also, time-wasting and money-wasting aren’t other person’s story. Maybe, you’ll be wasting your time and money because of alcohol, when you don’t recognize. Be careful!! And be careful!!


There are people who like or dislike the alcohol in Korea.

  There are people who like or dislike the alcohol in Korea. Then why do people drink the alcohol? It is due to expectation to taste felt sentiment when drinking to be the biggest among drinking psychological reasons. That is, they shall drink to experience it by expectation about psycholigical effect of ‘They can relax tension.’,'They can get rid of stress.’ etc. The most common reason which people drink is to get rid of stress. Because it is one of the easiest way that get rid of stress which occur in complex and hard a social life. However They will be under great stress in body preferably if they drink too much.

  We can also find reasons to drink in socio-cutural level. There is a possibility becoming the reason which the inducement of the friends or the colleagues has a drink. Specially Korea must swig a drink even if they don’t have an inclination because alcohol is a barrier of socialization and everybody make much account of a drinking party. Also alcohol is used a courtesy thing to plan union of group. we can see it is used with the way which plans a friendship from the various meeting and job.

Alcohol leads to some problem to almost every people without regard to drink

In Korea, most parties with alcohol go on up to late at night. It makes people difficult to turn back to their daily life quickly. Another serious problem is alcoholism. People want to drink more to console their feeling or just enjoy the etmosphere.  However, habitual drinkers need to be careful, because their overloving for drink makes them addictive. Time and money comsuming, hangover and alcoholism are problems of drinker, but alcohol infulences to people who don’t drink never. For example, a drunken driver hit a person with innocent sometimes. This car accident would kill blameless people or fatal wound. Therefore, people must keep a look out for drinking alcohol because it has some negative things.

Korean workers who drink alcohol very often.

Korean salary men in Korea have frequent chances to drink alcohol. First of all, there are a lot of drinking parties after working. For example, if new employees come to the department of companies, it is highly possible to have a party. Also, at the beginning and end of the year, they hold a party very often for celebration.

The Homework That I Maybe Didn’t Explain Well

It seemed to me like maybe I was less clear than I thought about the homework I assigned in class, so I’m going to explain it very clearly here. If you have any questions, please leave a comment with the question and I’ll answer it. Sorry this took so long but I had to reinstall Linux on my computer. Windows was killing it.

Okay, so…

Tonight we worked on creating topic sentences for each “category” in the Mind Map/idea bubble network. You created a topic sentence for one part of the map, and started to created other sentences for each of the ideas or items in the category. For example:

There are many kinds of alcohol which are popular among Korean students.  Beer is very common, because it’s cheap. Soju is also common, especially among male students. Wine isn’t so popular, but some people enjoy it. And students with a lot of money to spare sometimes drink whiskey or other strong alcohol.

In the  example above, the topic sentence is in bold, but you don’t need to do that. (You can if you like, if you think it helps, but for now, the topic sentencewill usually be the first sentence in the paragraph, so it’s not usually necessary.)

As for your “homework”, this week you will need to make 2 blog postings, right? So, your next blog post should be the paragraph you started to work on in class, on one of the topics related to alcohol.

Your second blog post of the week should be created in a similar way, but using one of the mind-maps that you worked on before, during the last week.

(Please bear in mind that when I say “homework”, it’s not always something that gets “handed in” during class. Some homework is for a mark, and some homework helps you prepare for the big assignments that will come later on. This week’s homework is mostly the second kind… I won’t collect or mark it, but you need to do it if you want to be able to do what we will be working on next week, and the week after, and so on.)

Any questions?
