Elementary Composition – Night

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

For great time.

I think this semester past too fast. I looked back this semester, and asked myself. During this semester, What did I do? Did I do my best? I can’t do any sure answer. Because I can’t satisfy myself. So I might feel this semester past too fast. So I promise myself before start summer vacation. Let’s spend great time!


Sadness facts.

These days my home got a confliction. That is my mother and my younger brother’s confliction. The problem is about studying. Of course, this problem has been exsited until now. But the power of confliction is stronger. This problem is connected with my problem. Because my mother has been affected most to family. So mother’s anger affected to me badly. One more thing, I can understand thier mind each other. But I can’t do anything between mom and brother. What I can do most thing is avoid and cheer up each other. Because I have many what to do, I don’t have any mind’s free. This fact let me be gloomy.


The movie Coach Carter.

A couple of minute ago, I watched the movie “Coach Carter.” When I came back to my house, my parents wasn’t my home. So I started to watch TV. When I turned on the TV, there is matching England & Paraguay. Sometimes I watch a soccer match. But actually I don’t enjoy soccer. So I found interesting channel. Then I found this movie. At the begining, I didn’t want go see that. Because this movie was also connected with basketball. (I don’t like sports) But now I’m really really impressed. This movie was about basketball prayers who were high school students in the slum. I know this time is important for good score. But I think this movie is also worty.


Rain

Most people don’t like rain. But I like rain. Especially raindrop sound let me feel so cool. Most people is afraid of thunder. But I like thunder. Thunder sound is like music. Have you ever been in rain without unbrella? You will think this is like crazy. But if you have any bad feeling in your mind, why don’t you try it? It will give feeling so cool. You might think this writing is very strange. But still I like rain. One more thing! I recommend listening raindrop.


A cute story.

Once upon a time, there were three little boys. Their name were Jack, Mich, and Woodi. Jack made always trouble. Mich was very greedy. Then Woodi was lazy guy. One day, they went to deep forest. Of course, their parents said. “Don’t go to the forest. If you go to the forest, a bad thing will happen to you.” But they didn’t follow this. When they were walking on a path, Mich found an old castle. “Guys! Look at the that. It’s a castle. Mich said. “Let’s go to the castle. we can find something interesting.” Jack said. “I don’t want. Don’t bother me! Woodi answered. “Please, let’s go to the castle, Woodi. It is also interesting to you. After a quarrel, they decided to enter the castle. They were walking the enterance, there were some doors. They entered their favorite rooms each other. Jack entered the first door. It was a entire white room. When he looks around when, suddenly, a fairy apeared. Then she said to Jack. “Don’t make some trouble.” “Please be quietly.” But the troublemaker began to scribble on the wall. He draw tiger, ghost, monster, something like that. At the moment, the scribbles started to come out of the wall. And they treated him very tough. The second room, Mich entered. There was too much jewelry. And then the fairy also appeared in the second room. “Don’t touch anything.” she said. But Mich’s eyes already was sparking. Finally he started to put the jewelry in his pocket. He was putting the fabulous things when, strange, the jewel turned into real heavy rocks. So he never moved. Lastly, Woodi entered the third room. The fairy appeared, too. At this time, she said, “Dont’ sleep, and feed cows over there. Bur the lazy guy didn’t follow this, and fell in sleep. After Woodi wake up, he felt strange about him. He became a cow. Then he had to work with grachy farmer. They had hard time all day, and soon regreted their action. In the evening, the fairy appeared each room, and forgave them. Finally they came out of the castle. The three children started to cry in the dark deep forest. And then they said, We will be a kind boys!!!

   As it was a practical English homework, I wrote it! Then I found it again in English writing notebook! How about this? Is it interesting? HAHAHA


My Disgraceful mistake!!!

Whenever I go to school, I should take a subway. Then when I took a subway, a happening occured yesterday. As you know, I stayed up all night for homework. So I was very tired. But when I entered a subway, there wasn’t any seat for me. I must wait for seat. After a while, an old man standed up his seat. So I walked there, and sit down. But it was my terrible mistake. Because the old man got off the subway. He just standed up for looking station line. Anyway I felt very disgraceful. I thought that I stole the old man’s seat. So I should stand up quickly. Sorrily, the old man got off next station. But I couldn’t sit down again. Today was very disgraceful to me cause of the happening.


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.


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!


Never ending sleep!

These days my sleep time is growing during the day. I can never feel satisfying about my sleeping. I know this reason. That’s why I can’t almost sleep during the night. Because I have a lot of homeworks and reports from my classes. So When I sit somewhere, I sleep everywhere. I don’t like sleep during class. But I sometimes fall into sleep without my will. When I get on a bus, the same situation happen. Even I miss to get off a bus stop. So I should walk more and more. So yesterday, I slept a lot. I think that I slept about 12 hours. But today, my head is still unclear. I still feel sleep. Why don’t my sleep end? This fact let me be sad.


Corpse Bride

Monday, this week, I saw the movie “corpse bride”. This story is about a groom “Victor” who is hero and afraid about marriage. His marriage day before, vitor makes many mistake, and finally he go out of the rehearsal of his marriage. During his practice in the woods, he put in his marriage ring to a stick. But the stick is corpse bride’s finger. The corpse bride misunderstand the marriage. So she take him to underworld. In there, vitor experience very unique things. This is for children movie. But it’s very interesting to me. Actually I like the director Tim Burton. I like his unique movie and his little bit strange mental world. This movie doesn’t have only fun. This movie also has scare just like The  Nightmare Before Chistmas. Anyway I feel so good because of this movie.


My special class

I have a special class. The name of class is Teaching Korean Language for preschooler. I choose this class with only interesting. When I was a kid, my dream was being kindergarten teacher. Even though I give it up now, I am interested about preschool education. Then I like playing the piane, cutting and gluing colored paper, something like that. This things are connected with preschool education. But these days I am regretting a little. Because of making a doll. Especially needlework is so terrible to me. Yesterday and Today, I made a pig doll because of this my homework. But I have little problem. So I am very worrying about that. I don’t have confidence. Anyway I will never choose these kinds of classes. I will study only my major.


A Quote

“No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness.”         -Graham Greene(1904-1991)

A week ago, I got a homework from practical English class. The homework is finding five quotes. And then above the sentence remains in my heart. Actully I can’t explain the quote exactly. I just feel the meaning, and I thought finally, human being is alone. Even though human has family, friend, and lover.


Mean Insect

Until now, too many people think an ant is a good insect. Even we express the ant as a symbol of dilligence in “Ant and Grasshopper”. But the ant might be troublemaker in our house or some building. There are some reasons. First of all, the ant can live house or building as well as soil. It’s start of problem. Then they spread so quickly. Once the ant comes into building, we can find the insect anywhere inside. How do they built their home? Here is the answer, and it is the second problem. Thet is they make hole on the wall for their way or home. They can pierce wood, concrete, even plastic. Lastly, worst point is that they can bite us. Especially, if a red ant bite us, it will be pretty painful. We’ve believed the ant is a good insect, but we’ve caught in a trap.


A Greedy Woman’s Story

Once upon a time, there was a greedy woman. She always wanted to jewelry for showing off. Then her favorite jewelry was diamond. One day, she found one fact that people commonly wear diamond from Africa. Because Africa is a lot of diamond. So she decided to go to Africa. She went around for finding diamond. After a while, she found a prohibition area. But she thought there will be too much diamond. At that time, she heard animal’s roar in her back side. she turned around. Then she found something. It was a lion, because she came into lion’s zone. She was scared. So she ran away. After several days, she got Malaria. During the time, Malaria spread easily, because there were lots of mosquito in Africa. Because she got ill instead diamond, so she was very angry. For a while, she kicked near steel cage. Unluckily, there was a tiger in the cage. So the tiger tried to attack the people including her. Lastly she didn’t get anything. She just got scary and dirty experience. She started to cry very sadly.


Let me Introduce my Father.

Let me introduce my father as a stingy person. My father is a very stingy guy. Here are several reasons. First, my father never go to movie theater. Because he always wait the movie until it comes out on TV. He thinks to go to movie theater wastes money. He doesn’t feel worth of movie theater. Second, he think eating out also wastes money. So my family almost doesn’t go out for dinner. If I or brother really want, we go only with mother. It’s very sad story. Finally, it will be funny fact. My father eats perfecttly watermelon except thin outer peel. I don’t know the reason exactly. I guess he might stint the fruit even though common people don’t eat that part. Then, actually, when I was a child, he taught me to eat watermelon like the way. As you know, my father is pretty stingy person. So, sometimes, I feel shy or unwilling about the truths. But I can’t hate originally, cause I’m his daughter.


Unusual Girl who wants to Special.

I shoud write about unusal person just only one. Because I have no time to interview. So I want to write about me as unusual person. First, I enjoy to talk alone. I almost talk to me wherever I am. So sometimes my friend talk to me. “Who do you talk to someone? or, please stop to talk alone!!” Then I like to sing in the park in very deep night. Sometimes I sing alone in empty near park, and I really like it. But passerby looks me just like strange person. I feel this action is little bit strange and unusual. But I want to say it’s because I’m special!!


Her Unusual Father

  My classmate has little bit unusual father. First, he is very interested in fashion. For example, a common man don’t like shopping. But, he is different. He likes to go to shopping. Especially, he loves department store. And then he likes to make himself as beautiful. One time, when my classmate was doing cosmetic pack, her father asked his daughter. “Is it good for skin?” So she said. “Of course, this is good.” After the time, he sometimes buy cosmetic pack. Even he use the pack of his daughter. Finally, his spending habit is unique. For instance, as you know, he spend money only good food and fashion. Her said. “My father is really unusual.” But I think,”He is cute guy interested in outlook.”


Chat (Give me a Energy!!)

I got good news today in bathhouse. The good news is to lose two kilograms. HAHAHA. It’s really good thing for girl. But this reason is not good. Because I had sickness. Last week, I had a cold and bad digestion. So last weekend I was in bed long time. I didn’t do anything. And then all during the week, I can’t eat commonly. Of course, lose weight is good, but I don’t like sickness. Please give me a energy!!

Anyway there are lots of places in my country from small to big. There are swings, slides, seesaw, and so on. It’s really funny place. Guess where? Try again!


Where is it?

There is a building. Around the building, there are parking lots, some bench, a truck for something. Outdoors, some students and kids take a rest, or chat each other. Let’s enter the building. There are resting rooms, studing rooms, most important rooms in the building. There are too many books in the room. Someone read a book on the desk. Others find a book, or borrow a book. Where is it? It’s pretty easy. Try it!

Women! Drink Green Tea!

Green tea is good for diet. Because green tea disjoint fat in our body. So some women drink green tea. They enjoy green tea everywhere. They drink the green tea in a shool, in an office even on a street. That’s why some women drink green tea for diet.


Only white rice is not good for us.

Only white rice is not good for us. We know rice is good for health. But what’s the meaning of that? That means we should prefer rice and cereals.(In the sentence, rice and cereals means rice and creals(black rice and beans something like that) boiled together in a pot.) And there is saying these days. It is stepmother to give only white rice to their children. It means white rice less nutrition than rice and cereals. These days the word ‘well-being’ become popular, and health is important to us. And we find better things. So this sentence comes out. Therefore let’s have rice and cereals!


Rice is getting popular in America.

Rice is getting popular in America. Why? That’s because health problem. Their main meal is kinds of meat. Even meat is cheaper than vegetable in America. (This is opposite side in Korea.) Whatever they eat, that is freedom. But now overweight or obesity are one of serious social problems in America. For example, some obeseness can’t anything except lie down. So the sociality suggest vegetable or grain instead meat to nationality. And rice is a good solution. So rice is getting popular in America.


Hateful book! Odious class!

About six, I did homework. It’s terrible!! Of course the homework is simple. The homework just need reading determined book and summary. But the problem is book! The book is very very difficult. I read the book. But I feel just reading words. I can’t understand. So I read again and again. I look like stupid. Finally I did it. But it’s not perfet. I hate it. The name of book is Orientalism. And writer is Adward side.(I can’t confident spelling of name) I am really odious the book and the class!!


After reading a novel, Remain?

A few weeks ago, I started reading a book. And now I finish the book. The name of book is Hongrumong. Do you know that? That is Chinese novel. I usually interested in Chinese things. Movies, drama, books and so on. So I choise the book. During reading the book, I felt it was pretty fun. But now I’m sad. Because I am feeling some futility. The topic of book is the frailty of human life. I’ve read the three books during twice weeks. And after reading novel, I remain nothing. It’s very very sad.


Animation give us fun, but it give children harm.

Do you like animation? Or did you like animaion when you were child? I love it very much. I still watch animation from childish programs to adult one. But I feel that thoughtlessness animation watching is really bad for children. Especially for preschooler. It made them wild, violence and distracted. And children addict animation easily. Even children see us strange action. What a terrible! I think children’s bad things come from animation. Because they accept all things during unconsciousness watching. So I believe before children have right sense, they must not watch animation a lot and unconsciousness.


Alcohol make good atmosphere, but it sometimes get bad ending.

 We can talk that drinking is good for us. But we must think about overdrinking. Sometimes we go to a bar for icebreaking or appeasing stress. I think too many university student go to a bar a lot. And fit drinking is very good.  But after we drink over and over, problem might start. Sometimes we may talk bad language each other and it may expand fight. When we drink too much, we can’t control our body. And we may vomit. The worst case, we might fall anywhere. Have you ever seen someone on the side street? If you aren’t careful, you will become like that. Therefore alcohol can make good atmosphere, but it sometimes might get bad ending.
