Elementary Composition – Night

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

The most horrific animal ” cat”

I am afraid of cats. Firstly, I feel horrible because it intimidates me at night. It appears in front of me at night. I was suprised to see it many times. Next, because it has big eyes, I am afraid of it. The big eyes makes me feel nervous. Then the snarlying sound lets me feel terrible. So, I used to avoid it. Lastly, I like dogs more than cats because dogs are cuter for me. Therefore, I never want to meet cats in the street.


2006 World Cup in Germany

In the next month, 2006 world cup is going to held in Germay. I have some expectations toward the world cup. Firstly, I am looking forward that a Korean National team is going to make success. In 2002 world cup, it went up to semi final. I expect that it can make the same success. Next, what I srongly expect is that one of the strong countries ” Gemany” goes up to final. So, I hope that the match between germany and korea can be realized. Then I would like to support a korean team strongly. So, the support will make a Korean team cheer up. Lastly, during the final exam, I should watch the match of the Korean team. I expect that I can face the final exam, enjoying the match. As mentioned above, there are several hopes for the World Cup.  


My brother.

I have two younger brothers. One of the brothers preforms military service. So, I have not met him for a long time. He has a gorgeous, belevable, and pretty friend. Sometimes, his grilfriend says to me ” I miss your brother.” In June, he is going to come back home for a while. It is a short break. Because I miss him too much, his short visit will make me feel pleased. Maybe my mom will prepare delicilus food for him because he needs a lot of nutritions. I expect that my brother and his girlfriend can spend the short time happily.


Meeting old friends.

I have reliable, hardworking, and true friends. I have met them since I was a middle school student. Recently we couldn`t meet them because they are very busy with their work. Whenever we are worried about something, we talk about it openly. Its topics are about girl friend, our future, and marriage. When we are exhausted to do our work, we can be reliable advisor one another. so, I am very happy that I have such friends. I can say that I love them.


Scary things in the world.

In the world, there are some scary things. Firstly, it is Malaria. Malaria spreads easily because mosquito can infect people with that disease. Next, people sometimes wear shiny and expensive diamond. It is possible for theives to steat it. So, they should be careful not to be stolen. Then it is a lion. If you meet him by chance, he might attack you. So, you should avoid him so that you can`t be in the risky situation. Finally, because a tiger enjoys eating humans and other animals, he may attack you.


Describing one of my friends ” Seung Hoon”

He has an intelligent, pretty, and sincere girl friend. What he strongly hope is that he get married with her in the future. So, he makes an effort to get the national certificate of tax accountant and stays at ” Sin Rim Dong “where there are many students who prepare for an examination. Most men in Korea need to get the stable gobs because it helps them to make an excellent household. Because he does his utmost to reach it, I am sure that he will pass the test. He is highly weary. So, he needs to keep good health so that he can work on that study harder


A certain guy who is very stingy

He works at the trade company, but my classmate ” Tae Kwang” is still student. They used to hace a drink at a bar. The most important fact is that he doesn`t like spending money despite his much salary. In addition, the fact that he wastes money he has earned for a month makes myclassmate feel abhorrent.


A stingy girl.

She is a close friend of my classmate “Sun Myung”. Even though she is friendly with Sun Myung, she has a big fault which makes Sun Myung feel embarrassed. To illustrate, she earns 2 million won a month. However, she has never spent money. For instance, when they meet at any place, she is always late not to pay money. Moreover, she intentionally leaves the place very early. Her behavior always lets my classmate feel irritated.


What is the place?

 This place has various meanings. Firstly, it plays a significant role in improving people`s intelligence. If people study there, it has such a advantage. Secondly, it is the place of a quiet atmosphere. The noisy people cannot stay there for a long time. Next, during the exam period, more people gather there. So, they are hard to get a seat. To get a seat, they should come to that place quicky. Then you can lend some books from there. After you finish reading that books, you should give back to that place until due date. Finally, it can be the place that many couples go on a date. It is important that when they don`t concentrate on studying, it can be the terrible problem. As shown above, the place has some characteristics.


The warm place.

Could I explain my lovely place? This place gives me unconditional love. When I first came to this place , I was never satisfied. As time has passed, I was genuinely moved by the importance.  A long time which has spent in this place let me adjust to it. Above all, this has offered the biggest gift. It is invaluable people and precious time. I will keep an affection toward this place, invaluable people, and precious time. I have gotten the big love from it, but I have never given any love to it. So, I am a selfish person. From now on, I should make a concerted effort to cherish it because it is my warm place that there are invaluable people and nostalgia. Also, the most enormous task is that I keep love in my mind for good. 


Mid term exams.

 During mid term period, most people have been having a big competition of getting a seat in the library. Students have had to go to the library to get a seat early in the morning. After that exam, I hope I can escape from the busy state. I don`t know if most students get a good mark and cheat in the test. However, I wish all of you could forget the result of the exams. Anyway, after you finish them, why don`t you picnik anywhere?

The food “Dak Dori Tang” is popular with most Koreans. Even though most of them get used to eating it, they are not interested in cooking it. How to cook it may be tricky for you. However, if you listen to my explanation, it will be easier than before. Let`s explain about it. Firstly, after cutting a chicken, get rid of its grease and blood with cold water. Secondly, season it with liquor and ground pepper. Thirdly, after peeling all kinds of vegetables, chop them properly. Next, mix all kinds of dressing materials and keep them in a plate for ten minutes. Then put three spoons of edible oil into an iron pot, and roast the chicken and all vegetables.

How to spend college life meaningfully

If you become a university student, you will be concerned about how you spend that time. So, I would love to recommend some things. Firstly, when you are a freshman, I recommend that you be participate in all kinds of events such as the beginning party,a membership training, a festival, the ending party, and the like. If you do so, you can associate with many schoolmates, and there will be no problem of adjusting to the college life. Next, I suggest that you had better go on a trip anywhere at the beginning of the college life. Traveling anywhere will provide you with a meaniful experience, a chance to acquire various culture, and an opportunity to ponder over yourself seriously. Then how about reading a variety of books?  The books will give you a lot of knowledge and indirect experiences. Lastly, you have known that English is the most significant medium to communicate with people all over the world. Promoting the capacity for using English wii be helpful for you to adapt to the world. Also, it will offer you the chance to meet people who are from a lot of countries and will  be useful for you to be knowledgeable. However, the most important thing is that you make a genuine effort to have an affection towards your university, classmates, and professors cordially. It will really be the best way to spend college life meanigfully. 


Rice has a good effect on people`s body.

 Rice is considered to be the main food all over the world. In these days, some people maintain that rice be harmful for people. However, some reserches show that rice has a good effect on people`s body because the element, which is called “GABA”, stops high blood pressure, and gaining weight can be prevented.

 To begin with, rice plays a significant role in reducing high blood pressure. The main reason is because of the element that is named ” GABA” . To illustrate, “GABA” has a huge influence over enhancing the function of people`s liver, getting rid of fat in blood, and as a result, preventing the adult disease such as high blood pressure. In hence, rice is the major food in that it includes the ingredient which promotes health

 Moreover, even though a few people insist that rice be the big cause of gaining weight, rice is a good nutrition for people`s body. In general, most people avoid eating rice in the reason of being fat. However, some experts strongly say that being fat is due to eating a variety of unhealthy food like junk food rather than eating rice. In other words, if people want to stop gaining weight, they should eat rice or vegetables. Above all, it is conspicuous that rice provides people with a protein which is good for health. consequently, the fact that if people eat rice, they are fat, is erroneous.

 In conclusion, in these days, people are accustomed to eating other western food and don`t prefer to eat rice due to the wrong idea. However, rice is the imperative food which helps people to improve their health, not to deteriorate it.


The transformation from eating rice to eating other food.

 People don`t like rice because they are sick and tired of it. Although rice is regarded as the main food all over the world, they prefer other food such as vegetables, meat dishes, a lot of instant food, and kinds of noodles. For instance, the western culture has a big influence on changing the eating habit of people in Korea. They prefer fast food which is convenient to eat. Indeed, most youths tend to go to family restaurants, having a good time with their close acquaintances. Therefore, rice is no longer popular with people in that food culture is changing rapidly.


Enduring eating something at night is one of the biggest tests of our life.

It`s 3:30 A.M. I am staying up now. Whenever I don`t sleep until late, I become hungry and would like to eat something. As you know, if anyone eats something at night, it will be the big damage to our body and is possible to gain some weight.  So, I must tolerate it. When we eat something which has high carlories, we may feel  better at the moment, but It will be deleterious later. Enduring eating something at night is really one of the biggest tests of our life.


It is rainy day, today!!

Today , it goes on raining. It means that spring is coming. Above all, if spring comes, I would like to travel anywhere, but I am sure that I am busy with my schoolwork. However, if I have a spare time, it is certain that I am going to anywhere, which is beautiful and warm place, with my close friends or family. So, I am pleased with this rainy day because it  says spring is coming. I would love to tell all my classmates that even though you are weary, tired with  a lot of matters,  I hope that you spend all the time in enjoying  spring days which are warmer than before. Take care and have a good weekend!!


Exercising for life.

 Exercising is the most important element for life, in that it gives people good health, helps them to improve a sense of sociality, and makes them ged rid of some stress. First of all, one of the big adavantages to exercise is that people can enhance their health. Scientific reserch shows that  both mental and physical health will be better and rehabilitated, concentrating on exercising. To illustrate, working out has an enormous effect on obese people who want to lose some weight because it can get rid of some fat.

 Moreover, sports is the most significant element for adjusting to a modern society. Generally, getting  along with numerous friends and collegues around you is required to adapt to the society. In other words, if you participate in a sports team for friendship, it will be a good choice. It provides you with a sense of cooperation, leadership, or confidence which is needed for life.

 Lastly, if you work out regularly, you can relieve some stress which is stored in your mind and body. In general, most workers and students are exhausted due to their heavy workloads. Also, they lie on the intensively competitive society. It gives them  a lot of stress. In hence, if you focus on execrcising regularly, it will play a major role in reducing some stress.


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.

In addition, when Korean workers have a drinking time, their collegues make them drink more. In general, most of them have a tendency to drink a lot until they become completely drunk. In this situation, collegues may give them any pressure to drink more. They, who are very drunk and want to go back to home, don`t reject it and are tempted to have a second, third drinking time.

Lastly, Most of Korean workers drink alcohol for their business. Generally, they are very busy with their working. Also, they may meet a variety of people who are related to their business. In Korean society, when they talk about their business, they mainly drink alcohol. By the way, It is crucial that althogh they don`t like to drink, there are inevitable cases to drink more often. Accordingly, as mentioned above, The three reasons that Korean workers drink more often is to have a party, be forced to drink more, and drink for their main task.


The start of the new week.

Last week, there were various events, such as the national success of a Korean baseball team. The new week begins from today. I think all of you will have to do a lot of assignments, presentation, and group work soon. I also will be busy with some schoolwork. Even though they may give me a stressful feeling, I would love to concentrate on them actively, positively. I hope you can make an energetic, happy week , forgetting a stressful memory of last week which haunts you if perhaps you have something like that.  P.S. I am wondering what kinds of Joke a humorous professor, gord is going to give us in today`s class. Maybe it will be utterly funny.


The night before the big match.

 Tomorrow, The big match between Korea and Japan which is semi-final in WBC holds with the strong expectation of people of two countries. I am highly nervous and am wondering how will the result of the game be. I read the two interesting news that there would be the marrige of the famous  actor, Lim Chang Jung at the same time of the game, and the program rating of the game might be better than that of Korean games in 2002 world cup. It was really amusing like the interest towards tomorrow`s big game. I have a strong hope that Korean players will play courageously, gorgeously. Tonight, I may stay up till late because of the big tension about tomorrow`s game.
