Elementary Composition – Night

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

Be Careful! When you Watch Advertisments.

 Advertising tricks customers to buy something that is unnecessary. Do you think advertising always leads us to buy what we need?

 

Now, we are living in the world, full of advertisements. So we have to look advertisements very carefully so that we can distinguish a proper ADs from whole ones. Of course , advertising can be very helpful to us. For example, it gives us many informations about new products. Or it makes us possible to compare with various items easily. However, it can be dangerous to people who are not critical enough to compare like children or elderly. And advertising makes products more expensive because it includes much money which is caused by advertising. As a result , I think ADs that gives us proper informations are necessary in our lives. but exaggerated ADs shoud be limited.

 


Wonderful Professor

I take a History of Modern Philosophy this semester. My professor is Kim, Jae-ho. I really respect him. He is really smart. Modern philosophy is a not easy class. Thanks to him, I can understand Descartes,Hum,Kant, and other philosophers. His explanation was really good so he made me interesting to this class. Maybe I couldn’t know modern philosophy well and be interested like this without him. I really got a lot out of the class. I also like and respect his personality. He is really generous to his students. And I also have really good teachers in other classes. I think I’m really lucky because I have wonderful teachers.

 

 


You Have to Have Friends

People use the word “friend” in a variety way. A friend can mean anything from a casual acquaintance to someone you’ve known your whole life. Whoever they are, friends are an important part of life. They provide companioship and emotional support. Friendships are the most voluntary. We choose our friends.

Making new friends! It’s easy to stay in a circle of friend you’re comfortable. If you are old, friendships may be lost-people move away. You have to make new friends to experince new things.

Keeping friends! Whether friendships are old or new, you can’t neglect them if you want them to last. Though it’s sometimes hard to spend time together, it’s important to keep in touch. Two ways are flexibility and respect.


Physical touch has many meanings than skin-deep.

Physical touch has many meanings than skin-deep. For example, a simple touch like a hand on a shoulder, or an arm around a waist can reduce heart rate lower blood pressure. Even people in deep coma may show changes in their heart rates when their hands are held. Positive touch appears to stimulate the release of endorphins, and the body’s natural pain suppressors. That may explain why a mother’s hug can cure it better  when a child skins his knee.


Rich people, Poor people.

The main difference between rich and poor is that the poor people do not get a chance to get out of their hard situations. It is a endless in Korea. If you are born with rich, you will start the best thing. You can afford to receive good education, get a expensive lands, and make a lot of money. With your many money and rich parents, You will be supported. But if you are poor, you will start to struggling. You don’t get the good chances. You have to work hard for small accomplishments. It is not fair.


I like to read books.

  

When I was little, I don’t remember either of my parents reading to me. But I love to read. Why do I like to read? I think that I like to read because both of my parents are avid readers, even if they didn’t read aloud to me when I was younger. My mom reads while eating a snack. My dad reads in his office and before bed. They didn’t exactly hide the fact that they love books. I believe that this is why Iike to read books.


Air conditioner please!

In these days, weather is so warm. I like warm weather, but the matter is it’s too hot. It’s really hard to study in library nowadays. I wonder why they don’t turn on the air conditioners in the library. Even outside of the library is cooler than inside. I can’t be sitting a long time in the library, because my bottoms become too hot. I have many assignments to be finished within this week, and I have no places to study other then my school library. All libraries nearby my house are on repair work, or have been closed from some days ago. I didn’t understand why they didn’t turn on the air conditioner, and criticized their stinginess at first, but now, I want to appear to them for a little mercy.


I hate me.

Yesterday, I handed in my final project in media English class. My project was a making ten ads. Some friends also were making ten ads. At first, I eagerly prepared to take pictures. But I did not have digital camera. And I did not use computer about photo well. Although I had only celluar phone camer, I did my best my project. Whenever I saw my project, I felt terrible and depressed. Specially, When I saw my friends’s final project, I felt angry at me. My project is a trash. It is crazy. So, I did not see my teacher because I were very shame. ㅜㅜ


Library

Today I went to a local library in Pu-Pyung with my friend. Whenever I go to a library, I always used to borrow a book from a library. After I searched a book, I watched a bulletin board. There was a notice that you can see a good movie, listen to a concert, obtain a beautiful painting or participate in craft. The library offered many services. Libraries were not only alive with the records of our progress, but they were also alive with activities to improve our daily lives. But most people only go to there for book. 


Special Smell

Last night, I had many to do things like homework, ready to quiz, and note arrangement. So I stayed up all night. Then I came out of house at about 5:50. My condition was terrible before came out home, because I had a headache. What I hate most is headache. But when I came out home, I felt better. Because I smelled grass. Have you ever smelled the grass? Because of lack about English writing, I can’t explain very well. Anyway it’s very fresh, sweet, and comfortable. I forgot this smell for a long time. But today thanks to stay up all night, I can feel this great smell.


A Difficult News Interpretation.

I don’t like reading a newspaper. I know what a shame as a university student. Anyway I’m weak about politics and economy. One of my major classes gave me a homework. The homework was news interpretation. Even the story is about politics. These days I learned the class about U.S. politics especially Choosing the nation’s president. Then this news was about voting problem. Oh my God!!! I tried to interpret, but I can’t understand the story. So I should find a lot of words and stories for understanding. I think this is shame. But more sad story is that I know U.S. politics better than Korean politics. HA HA HA. Am I right a Korean university student? Anyway I feel very hard news interpretation.


Today is payday

 Today is my payday. As I have already told many times, I have a part-time job. Actually, 10th of every month is payday. But tomorrow is Saturday. So I receive my salary before one day, because the banks of Korea are not opened. Even though I’m so tired, only thinking about my pays is happy thing. I would like to do a lot. However, if I spend my pays freely, before long I will regret obviously. Therefore, I will make a plan to save money and spend it. Ah~ I feel so good now!


The feeling that I can’t explain.

Today I turned on the computer for homework. Actually I don’t like turn on the computer. Once I start to the computer like the internet, I can’t stop easily. So, finally, I was trap the attraction of the internet. During the surfing, I remembered the movies music of Poseidon and Corpse Bride. Because I saw the movies recently. When I listened the music at the movie, I was steal my mind at the first to the music. I really liked it. Especially when I listened the music ”Victor’s piano solo” again, I was very pleasure. But I also felt to be gloomy. I don’t know why. Sometimes any music let me be gloomy and feel strange. A year ago, when I watched the movie Howl’s moving castle and listened the movie music, I felt the similar emotion. But I don’t hate this feeling. Just I can’t explain about this. Then I get a little bit gloomy feeling. That’s it!


Pollution

Almost everyone complains about pollution, but few people are doing anything about it. Average person shrugs his shoulder and says the problem is too big for him, but there are many things that he can do, surprisingly. The problem will not be solved without the cooperation of millions of people. Individual’s contribution will involve sacrifice, but it will pay for clean land air, and water.


I don’t want to get a part-time job!

Ever since I got a part-time job after school, I’ve had trouble managing my time. By the time I get home from work, I don’t have much time to do my schoolwork. I have to rush through my homework, and my assignments are always late. My social life is also suffering. I never seem to have enough time to be with my friends because I’m too busy working. Some of my friends have even stopped inviting me to go out with them. Worst of all, my demanding job leaves me little time for myself. I don’t have time to do the things I really enjoy like watching moves, hanging with my friends, and playing games. Altough I need the extra money I make, my job is really eating into my time.
