A stingy person I know

I’ll introduce a friend of mine who is very stingy. I won’t tell his name. He likes to drink so-ju, but he never pays money. At first all of our friends thought that maybe he had no money for a while, but it wasn’t it!! He never paid money for six months. Our friends made a decision not to call that friend whenever we drink so-ju. Now, he joined the military service so we can’t see his face.


My Trip in Africa

When I visited Africa 30 years ago, the whole continent was just a primitive nature itself. I was very surprised because African children played with diamonds. People didn’t wear diamonds because they didn’t even know how diamonds were valuable. Plus, a preventive injection wasn’t popular, so Malaria spread easily. What was worse, there were a lot of wild animals everywhere. I heard tigers attacked people many times, so I was very careful to prevent the horrible situation. However, it really happened. One day I was sleeping at night on my own with a window open. Suddenly I felt something heavy and violent on me. I soon realized it wasn’t a tiger. The snarling sound was different from tiger’s because it was a lion! I fought with it desperately for my life. I stabbed the lion in the throat and the back with a dagger. When I recovered consciousness I was covered all over with wounds in a hospital.


My Most Loving Place

This is a place I like the most. From the door there is a black bookshelf, a black and white desk, and a blue chair. The bookshelf is on the right corner touching the two walls and facing the door. The long side of the desk touches the right side wall of the door. The chair lies near the desk. The left side of the desk touches the middle of the shelf. There is a white bed on the opposite side of the desk. It is on the other corner also touching the two walls. The long side of the bed touches the left side wall of the door. Pink bed sheets and two pink pillows are on the bed. A built-in wardrobe is on the same wall of the door facing the bed. There is a window between the shelf and the bed. The door, the window frame, and the wardrobe is all white. The walls are ivory, and the floor is brown.


Have You Ever Been to This Place?

This is a place that I often visit with my friends. It is small and surrounded by big glass windows on two sides. There are two long tables and some stools along the two glass windows. There are some tables and chairs in the middle of the shop, and the counter is opposite to the door. On the right of the door there are pink shelves to display many different kinds of donuts. Menu board is hung on the top of the wall beyond the counter, and a fridge is on the left of the counter. The whole shop is decorated with colorful tiles.


My Brother

I have an older brother. I feel him like my second parent because he always teaches me what good and bad things are. Since the very first of my life I have got a lot of help from him whenever I needed, so I can’t imagine my life without him. Besides, he takes the initiative in everything to give me good examples. Because he always tries to lead me to a good way in my life, not only do I love him but also do I pay my respect to him.
