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

Eating out with family.

My family sometimes like to eat out for family’s union. Today my family had a good dinner in restaurant. That place is kwown for a breaded pork cutlet. I love it. And the resturant is quite. I like such atmosphere. Although Food price is so high, there is the quantity a lot for our food capacity. After we ate out, I felt we could talk more and laugh more. I thank you for my family. In the future, I really want to often eat out.


Presentation.

Today, I prepare to a english play. Although I don’t speak english well, It is quite fun. We consist of me, eun joo, and ji young. Except me, Because they can speak well, I became tense. I didn’t really want to distrub them. So. I did my best my part. Repetitely, I learned by heart my stories. Tommorrow, I will present our play. Although I do at first english play, I want to play good well.


Traffic Jam.

Everyone knows that we should avoid taking buses and taxi during rush hour. It is a nightmare and getting the crowed subway is faster. But subway during rush hour is not any better. It is so packed taht you can not move and you can not read your papers. In my case,  I get up early to avoid crowed in subway. I think it is a best choice in Korea which many people live there.


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 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


My hope is a Lotto.

I enjoy a Lotto. It is a my friend. Whenever I feel depressed, I usually buy a Lotto. For example, I was very sick or I break out my girl friend. Even though Lotto is so expensive, I am happy during drawing a lotto. So I believe that somedays my Lotto will be won.  Some people used to say Lotto is addicted and a gambling with negative aspects. But In case of me, It is a really interesting game. If I win the Lotto, What should do I do with a lot of money? That is very happy a worry.


My friend has special talent.

I have one friend. He is the same age. He is very smart. So I often envy him. Today, I think why he is different? First he is alway crazy for his fonds. He has enough passion. Second he is very rich. He has a his house and car even if he is young. So woman alway follows him. I think his best action of his abilities is alway a humility. I really want to resemble him.


I bought my new electronic dictionary.

I finally bought my electronic dictionary. At the beginning of this semester, I had  not my electronic dictionary because mine was not working. In case of me, I need to it because I learned all subjects which is related with English class. Especially, when I tested exam , when I prepared for my assignments in library, I desperately  need it for my study. At now, my new electronic dictionary is better than any other electronic dictionary in Korea. It includes various functions (MP3, radio, and many paper dictionaries). Because I am going to get a scholarship about “TOEIC score higher” in catholic university ^^v, I can fill enough money my empty account. I am happy. I really want to keep new one without out of order for a long time. 


I hate a TOEIC.

If you are a university student, you maybe have a experience about TOEIC. TOEIC is a Test of English for International Communication. Although it is only a test for increasing English, its influences is very strong in Korea. For example, high school students learn it for their university, university students learn it for their job, and officer also learn it for their promotion. I admit English is very important for many reasons. But I believe only a TOEIC score must not judge people ability as well as test for a proper English skill. I really do not understand why we are always required to the TOEIC score everywhere in Korea.   


My grandmother said “what do you think the best importances for your life?”

When I was young, my grandmother told me a interesting story. Even if I was grown up, my heart still remain her story with strong impression. Let’s start what grandmother said. She told me there are three things for your success. The factors of success are money, honer, and health.  she compared three success to circle ball. 

First, money is made of basketball. If you lose the ball, do not worry about it because the ball will be rebounded. If you try to catch the ball, you can easily get it.

Second, honor is made of tennis ball. If you lose the ball, do also not worry because it will also be rebounded. If you try to catch the ball, you can get it. It is only more difficult than the basketball.

Third, health is made of glass ball. If you lose the ball, It is never rebounded. Because It is completely broken, you will fail to catch the ball one hundred percent.

In conclusion, you keep in mind what kind of the best important thing while you live your life. You always recognize that in your heart in depth.


Life is not a speed but direction.

I have a dream for my life. At now I am progressing step by step in many courses.

   Firstly, My goal is that I pass the public officer exam. Its exam is related with emigration and immigration. Because I learn English In Catholic University, I do not study the public offer exam. At the end of this semester, I am going to do temporary absence from University for my study. I will do my best my study even though the exam is difficult.

   Secondly, after passing the exam, I will marry as soon as possible. I really want to make my household with beautiful my wife and cute children.

   Thirdly, I will earn the much money for my future company. Probably, I will have two jobs, or I will invest in real estate for earning much money. And then I will make the my company. It will help for people who is living a laborious life rather than it earn the money for managing company. My company will find out a direction and support for wandering people.

    At last, after leaving my company, I will write my an autobiography about my rewarding life. If my book help only one person who find their life value, I will very happy after I die.


Some cats can understand what people said.

I hate cats. Frankly speaking, I sacred cats because I believed cats can understand what people said. The past time, my mother told me real story about cats. She brought up a kitty. After long time, the cat became pregnant and the cat kittened eight kittys. At that times, because my mother was very poor, there are no enough room for the cat and eight kittys. So she told the cat ” why you kitten many kittys?”. You maybe should be good If you kitten one or two kittys. Next a day, the mother cat cruelly killed her six kittys. My mother said that it was a terrible aspect about cats. After listened to her story, whenever I met cats, I felt scared that cats can understand what people said. 


I got refreshed.

On saturday, I hiked Gwanak Mountain with my friend. At first, we decided to hike the middle of Mountain peak. But we cannot help hiking at the Mountain peak because we were attratived by a beautiful spectacle. Whenever we took a break, we were often irritated by smoking people. When we got to the Mountain peak, even though we came out in much sweat, we really felt refreshed by fresh air and beautiful scenes. As we lost a route, we had sometimes many troubles. But thanks to fresh air and beautiful spectacles, we really felt a tranquil mood.


I usually go to zoo.

Because I love to see many animals, I usually go to zoo. Once I go there, I sometimes take a picture with a memorable animal. It is a lion. Even though  it is a savage animal, I am Ok because of a cub. Whenever I went a Safari in Young-in, I alway thought If tigers attact people, What am I doing? Even imagination, so deadful. If you go to zoo, there are watchful things.

firstly, Some people came here  with accessories. Especially, those who wear diamonds must be careful for approaching animals. Because they have many curiosity about people’accessories, some kinds of brilliant animals were trained by their zoo keeper often steal high price things.

Secondly, because many animals live there, a lot of mosquito also exist. Many people as well as  animals were threaten by mosquito. If people and animals are bitten by mosquito, there are chance of bad dieases. Specially,Because Malaria speards easily, it is very dangerous.

In conclusion, If you go to zoo, You must be careful of  savage beast, brilliant anmials, mosquito.


I want to live there.

When i served in the military, I was there. The place is famous for beautiful a scene. Mountain is very grand. Especially. Whenever I saw their Rock in Mountain, I was awed by the majesty of the mountain. Food of the place is well-known about delicious buckwheat noodles, marin products. Unlike Seoul, because air was very fresh, so I always felt refreshed. Many people usually visit their rest. Sea also is very famous. There are a lot of see bath beach. From Jun to September, most people came here.


I realized I made errors.

Hi~ Long time no see. I had not written my composition for a long time. I slip my mind what to do. I had problems about my work. I often wondered because of my future filled fear. And I met my girl friend after a long time (about more than three years). Although I knew my English skill is very low, I did not my job. At this time, I recognized my errors. So I really want to do my best my job. I shortly got hair cut such as a soldier for my mind. I want to new start before too late. And I am really sorry  for my teacher.

Learning English

Most in korea study English and try to master it. I think that mastering English can be a great job because it is an essential language. It is also helpful to understand the people custom from other countries. We have to know English to get new information from around the world. English seems to be required everywhere in modern society. So Korean society demand that we should be proficient in English.

I have been studying English for many years, but English is really hard for me. Above all, I had absolutely been studying English in order to pass the Exam for example TOEIC, transfer University, The public Office exam and so on. In my case, I  have to study English for passing the exam even though I know English conversation is more important. so, I feel frustrated when I used in real English. I wish I could speak English fluently after passing the my exam.


TV has many negative things.

Television is a good source of information. But it is only one source. Some plople have to watch TV every night before hey sleep. They are called by addictive the TV. It is also creating a lot of violence in our society and our children are learning the false notion that violence is ok. Therefore, we need to limit what we see, especially what our children see.


Many people only think that alcohol looks like friends.

Alcohol have many negative effects.

Firstly, it is harmful to people’s body.

If you drink too much alcohol, maybe you can not control your body and rationality.

So, many problems would be  happened such as car accidents, impulse incidents.

Secondly, people will take many the times and  cost the money about drinking alcohol.

Thirdly, if you have a lot of times drinking alcohol, you would be alcohol addictive someday.

As a result of, you have to moderate your mind same as selecting good friends.
