Sports

In the past, sports were activity that people did only for fun in their free time. But this has changed recently. Now the sports industry is huge. Most big sport teams are businesses and aim to make money. Individual sportsman are promoted like film star or pop starts. Do you think this business has done damage to sports or not?


Telling the truth requires thoughtfulness.

Telling the truth requires thoughtfulness. Before speaking out, try to imagine the situation from the other person’s point of view. First of all, decide other person really  need to know what you to say. Consider how you would feel if what you are about to say were said to you instead. Maybe it hurts your feelings.


Children and pet

Many children want to have a pet. But parents don’t want to keep a dog or a cat in the house. In fact, pet can be good for children. A pet means something to play with. This is important if there is only one child. Also, children can learn a lot from a pet. They can learn about animals and the natural world. Children also learn about taking care of something. This is an important lesson for all children.


Cellular phones

Nowadays, many people have cellular phones. It makes our lives easier. We can contact anyone we want to speak to in any place. We can even call the police or fire fighters in emergency. But there are some problems. Sometimes we are upset in the cellular phones. Maybe many people have some experience like that. So I want you to turn off your cellular phones in public places.


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.


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.


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. 


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.


Do you keep a diary?

Do you keep a diary?  I believe that to keep diaries is a good habit., whoever I am, whatever I am doing. I am sure that the reward is well worth of it. So everyday I try to write a diary. Although writing daily in diary is difficult. As time passed, we tend to forget precious moments in our lives, and the scenes tend to lose focus. Diary makes our lives more colorful.


In the park

The weather was really nice today. So I went to sangdong lake-park with my friends. The flowers along the streets were beautiful. I took some pictures and I took my picture, too. I rode a bicycle and my friends rode inline skating. After came back home, I attached my pictures in Internet bloge. The pictures came out well.We had a good time.


Shopping is not easy.

I like shopping. When I felt depression, I go shipping. But if I don’t have enough money, I go window-shopping. Particularly, I like to show a pretty earring. Sometimes it is very dangerous, because I want to buy it more and more. Or it tempts me by having bargain sale. I often get exited about percentage they are saving rather then the amount I am spending. Of course, after I bought it, I suffered from money matter. Shopping is not easy. Do you like shopping as me?


TV

TV helps to develop social or artistic judgment. And it services a program about a working knowledge. For example, it introduce a good book, food, and Health care, people showing news are able to know the world and we have experience of indirect. But it can be avoid a book. News or movies are more enjoyable than turning the pages of a newspaper or a book. And it can be wasted the time because people watched TV for a long time. once you hold the remote control, you cannot put it down easily. You can be addicted by TV. For example, though you try to study in mind, you like to watch it more and more. If I don’t watch TV, sometime I become outsider. We often buy unnecessary because of many advertisement of TV. Watching TV is bad for health because it cause eye-train, and physical fatigue. Finally, children can watch adult TV. It will affect children’s emotion.


The key to clear skin may all be in my mind

Today, I spent most of the day with a makeup on my face because I had a part time job. After the day was over, I cleaned my face and showed that big, big pimple break out my face. Oh…. I squeezed it. I fear pimples. In order to expel fear, I read many books about skin and pimple. In some book, a dermatologist, or skin doctor says that a lot of these pimples may actually be caused by fear. According to studies, college students are more likely to break out pimples before a big exam. The key to clear skin may all be in my mind. But I fear pimples….


Internet has merits and demerits.

Internet is very popular today. Why does it like to use? First, internet gather information and give intelligence easily. Second, we can enjoy a new movie, game or music as hobbies. Last, internet is easy to operate and there are many computer everywhere . Otherwise, internet has demerits. When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don’t have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures and tone of voise to communicate your meaning; words that is, lonely written words are all you’ve got. And that goes for your correspondent as well. So, when you’re holding a conversation online, whether it’s an e-mail exchange or a response to a discussion group posting, it’s easy to misinterpret what your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own. Computer networks bring people together who’d otherwise never meet. But the impersonality of that medium changes the meeting to something less personal

  I’m on a diet in order to lose my weight. Last summer I went on a diet but I failed. I skipped breakfast but I ate a lot in the night. In the end, I put on more weight.

Today, I heard that getting up early is good for health and beauty. I’ll try to change my habit. I’ll go to bed early and get up early.  

 


A talk on the cell phone

This afternoon I went to  seoul. In subway, I heard a girl talking. It seem that she was talking to her friends but she was talking on cell phone. On a sudden, she raised her voice and cried. I can’t read my book, because she are very noisy.  And I can’t concentrate my attention. Cell phone conversation are often annoying and become noise pollution.

Ambiguity of wine

Wine is many kinds of favorite food that people use very for a long time. Some people praise wine and others people refuse. Like this, there were a lot of side effects as the history. So, I will search ambiguity of wine in two sides here. First, it is advantage of wine. It is very famous doctor that Greek Hippocrates speaks “Wine have value most as drink, and tastes most as medicine, and amuse most among food “ 2700 old years ago. In this way, wine has considered by efficacious medicine from ancient. Nowadays doctors certified truth that suitable drinking protects heart disease. There was report of this truth that it is good for metabolism and act as digestive. Also, it is peddler’s secret and profitable in person’s mind health. For example, It makes personal relations smooth being in civil life.But, there were a lot of side effects as the history. Wine have tried to control mankind if is an opportunity. A person who wield for wine suffer from alcoholism or drinking affects in all important special skills of human body such as central nervous system, endocrine system m stomach heart pipe, and so on. And In spiritual a side, it can cause home disagreement because does individual’s spiritual and physical fitness by contradictory value, and deal harm that is great on company or whole society. Like this, wine has various ambiguities. But, there is a common in such various ambiguities. According to use it, it is effective as medicine or becomes harmfulness. So, we have grasp ambiguity of wine certainly and use to only good side.


Colors in my life

I like many colors. White, black, red, and so on. Each color has its merits. Sometimes I feel better, because of color. For example, light pink manicure give me bright mind from gloom. And yellow curtain makes a snug room. I am a quiet person, so I avoid too gaudy colors. I enjoy wearing white and black colors. It has correlation with my personality. But I don’t like blue, because there is bad memory about it. When I was 10 years old, my teacher let me shook dust of her clothes. I was delighted because I liked her. So I opened the window and shook a her jacket out of the window. When I finish it, I found out something wrong. A jacket was stained with a blue color paint. I was astonished at the sight. When I spoke my fault her, her told me to be fine. But that day was horrible. It was the worst blue.  

 


Cosmetic surgery

When I watched TV, I found out that a TV star had eye surgery. She looked very different. She used to have a small narrow eyes, but now she has big round eyes and double eyes. Nowadays many people are interested in having cosmetic surgery. I know that people has want to look beautiful, but most important is our inside.

If she didn’t have that, she cried all day long. When she have that she was satisfied. For example, I was usual dispossessed my doll, headbands and pens. I was afraid of her visiting. she is growing more and more beautiful with the years but her avarice is unchangeable. I think that she will be unchangeable.

How to Make a doll

According to doll’s measurements, cloth and cotten. scissors, a ruler, chalk, needle, a ball of thread.

First, you must select a cloth and shape. In my case, I have bought cloth that was very soft to the touch like a towel because it was easy to clean. Also because a person making a doll for a first time finds it difficult, I have bought a simple shape. If you are a beginner, you had better select it. when you buy it in shop, selecting  a cloth and shape is very important. While you male it, you may lost interest in the doll. The second step is to sketch in cloth with a chalk. You must sketch arms. legs, a face and a belly according to doll’s measurements. When you sketch, too thick and dim sketching line is bad because it is difficult to stitch straightly. The next, you should cut out all part of cloth to measure. You must margin to sew up. Then leave a small hole and stitch hard in each part. If you don’t stitch hard, it can tear apart while you wash it. A small hole use to turn the other side and you put a cotten in it. At this, it is important to put it firmly. And then, stitch up a small hole. Finally, you must attach arms, legs, and a head of doll to the belly. I did it as if I sew buttons. If you do so, it is very easy.

During making a doll, you will know that it is a easy and fun.

Infant Education

Last weekend, I saw the TV program about Infant Education. The story of the program is that everyone must look after children from all of the things. That tell us “Not only parents but also society is responsible.” There were some impressional scenes. Parents permit personal liberty of children but they are strict with a rule. And teachers made efforts to develop a child’s originality. Especially, there are teaching materials that it utilize the five sences. It was interesting. Society supports facilities of education and place of children, too. Children’s library, museum ,and so on. It was nice. But they told that the most important thing is love. Without love, child don’t grow up. This program was very nice and had a valuable information.


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.
