Reflective essay



     There were two monks. One is adult and the other is a young boy. The young boy is really curious about living things maybe it's because of his thinking. At that time, many children feel curious about things. One day, he found fish, frog and snake. Because he had lots of playfulness, he played with those living things. He tied them with a rope. He enjoyed this time. The day after, he felt like he can't move and he can't wake up. It was because the monk tied rocks on him. The young boy said sorry to monk but he said "say sorry to fish, frog and snake." When young boy go to them, he found he was died, frog barely alived and snake was died. He felt guilty for it and big monk looked down that situation. 

     Today, we does many experiments in school. And I can remember well on cut up of frog and fish. I fistly did it when I was in fifth grade of elementary school and most students don't care about studying actually. They enjoyed that experiment and dissect it harmfully. So they don't have serious and sorry mind to frog especially the boys. I wans't dissect it harmfully but I also enjoyed. But after times past, I felt really sorry to frog. Although it can't talk, it's also one live thing and we killed it carelessly. When I became a middle school student, my teacher said "we should always think of them and we should feel sorry for them. They are also a live thing and we just dissect them for studying. Don't do it carelessly." It was really touched to me and I agree with teacher.

     This video remind me that experience again. We should always think they also have a life and the price is just same as people. Shift our position and think about it. If they are a human and we are the animals, maybe we can treat badly and we can get stress because of it. So, it's not different and we should respect their life. Do not think it's useless. Everything in the world have a value. I wanted to say this for people by this video, especially for the boys.

     Thank you.

Metafiction

 Tomorrow, I will have a presentation about imagine stories. I'm not ready for it so I'm really worrying now. I want to say that there was no time for doing it but I have to do that presentation. So, I made story about it. Firstly, I wrote 'Once upon a time' and then I thought a lot. But I was so tired that it was about 12 o'clock. Then, I fall in sleep. When I fall in sleep, I dreamed. It was about strange story.


 Once upon a time, there was a witch. She looked so ugly, and she was very evil, so many people in town didn't like her. One  day, she went to the forest. She found a pond. She was going to drink the water. from the pond, but when she bent herself forward, she saw herself mirrored in the pond. The witch thought it was very ugly, so she decided to go to plastic surgery clinic to lift her face. Soon, her face became the prettiest in the world. She became popular all over the world. Everybody thought that she was really beautiful. However, as you know.some people dislike someone who uses plastic surgery, so the picture of the witch's face spread into the internet, and many nasty comments were under the picture. There were many people who disliked it, but there were also some who liked it.

 The comments was like "You are not a person! Although you did plastic surgery, you are a witch.", "But still, you are witch!", "Go away! Don't think you are pretty." On the other hand, "You are so pretty.", "You did it well.", "You are the best all over the world.", "No one can follow your appearance."

Suddenly, this became an issue for most people. The world was divided by people who like the picture, and people who did not. They were fighting seriously. Then one day, a person came who could end this fight.

 His name was John. He is the person who solves the problem all around the world. And he was wondered about witch's appearance that why it became so big issue?! So, he met witch. When he saw her, his action was stopped for about 3 seconds. He thought it's not a person. And he remembered that she did plastic surgery. He said "You are so beautiful lady. Can I get your phone number?" and she said, "Sorry, I don't have any phone number. I will get it after this situation is over. Can you help me?" And John said "Sure, sure, of course!! I will write many articles about you and I will also talk about plastic surgery is not that much bad. Like it can change person's life by having proud of yourself.

 When he worte many articles and uplode it to Internet, the argument was almost gone. Then, the witch buy cellphone and give number to John. They contacted for long time, but the most important thing that John realized is she was becomming having a bad chracteristic. She always answered bluntly and John becomes hate her. And then, he stopped contacting with her and say good bye to her. He lived to other place where people need his help. He is still changing his home to help people in this world now.


 It was really strange dream. It feels like a real and the time was almost about 8o'clock. He felt he might be late to his school so he ran to his school forgeting about his homework. When he arrived it at there, he suddenly remembered his homework. The presentation was started and I was waiting for my turn. I was really nervous but suddenly, I remembered the story about his dream. And he determined to talk about his dream. It was fantastic story and I said John is still alive today. When I finish talking about it, my teacher said "you made really good story!" She was really surprised at my presentation and I was also happy.

 The school was finished and I was going back to home. Suddnely, he saw the man who has a familiar face. I don't know where I saw him. He was stopping people's fighting, and after, the fighting was overed. When I come back to home and the times past to sleep, I suddnely remembered the face. It was John who appeared in my dream! I was so surprised that I get out of the house and ran to the place where he saw. But, there was no one in there. When he come back to home and when he just fall into sleep, he dreamed again. And that man appeared in my dream!! I was so happy to see him and I said so thank you. I'm not sure that he listened my voice but I was really happy.

 Next day, I got my grade and it was A.

Chain writing

 If I could go back in time, I would do other things, not just playing computer games. Because I'm really busy now that there are so many things to do for studying and for the homework. When I was young, I played lots of computer games for almost 5 hours per day. So, if I could go back in time, I just want to use my time in other ways, but I'll not use it only studying for whole time. I want to see more dramas, movies, and want to exercise more. Since I like to do these activities and I think it's more useful than just playing computer games or sitting on the chair. Surely, computer games are fun and it gives us many information. However, I believe that they give us many bad effects than good effects. Like eyes become sore and our neck gets worse. Also, electronic waves from computers are not good for our health. Moreover, it's not good for person who can't control their minds that they plays whole time for playing computer games as me. On the other hands, if I watch dramas and movies, I can know many good things like I can get teachings like we shouldn't live like that character and the result will be terrible. Or somtimes it gives growing the imagination and it makes me get rid of stress. Also, doing exercise makes me healthy and it also makes me get rid of stress.

Dear White Board

  Dear White Board

 What a wide white board! You are so wide that you knows a lot of information. You teaches us everyting.

 What a wise white board! You are so wise that I want to get all of information from you.

 What a well white board! You are waiting for someone to write something on you and you don't chose person who can write or not.

 But, you know sometimes I don't want to see you. Sometimes my eyes become closer and close that it make me to flal in the sleep. There are somedays I do like that, because I can't control myself. Now, I'm thinking your feeling about maybe you was worried for us and your face was looked like wan. Also maybe I could hear your wailing. I'm sorry to being like that attention to you. It might not your fault but still, I want you  to don't let some person, who make me fall in sleep, writing on you with your frirend pencil and eraser. Can you do that please? Then you can see many of wailing students and also you can hear like these phrases.

 You can make me just as what you wanted attitude everyday. Please listen carefully what I said and I wish you can do it.

 What a wide you are! You made me change of information which is in my brain.
 What a wise you are! You made me change of my attitude toward you. Isn't it fantastic?
 What a well you are! Now, I like you and everyting can be happen because of you. Maybe if you waif for the years, I might can use you or can write on you. Please wait for me until those days.

Viral Video

 

  When the babies coo and gurgle, they say something what we can't understand. They try to say but only they can understand. People sometimes suspect what's happening by watching the situation. It is happening in the kitchen and actually, they are fighting with the socks. This video was uploaded 11 months ago, and it got a big hit. More than 60 million people saw this video and one company bought this video in Korea. Now, it's really famous that it comes up to CF. It's also famous in other countries that their family had interviewed and reported by TV programs like BBC, ABC, CNN and so on. The twins' names are Mama and Rama and their ages are about 1~2 year. They became famous in young age and many people wants to see them.

   There are many parodies. Some people made the subtitles, not associated with the real situation but it also makes sense that it's similar with the twins' action. Also, it became a big issue that some people think that they are actually talking with each other about their situation. So, they are reacting when one says something. It means they are understanding what they are talking about. In addition, some people say kids are clever to watching and learning from adult. Moreover, they looks fighting and we can know it because we can hear that they are using question mark or exclamation mark. On the other hand, some people don't agree that they are talking. They think there is no meaning on their converation and it's not the language. Also, normal people can't understand their talking. However, my opinion is they are having a conversation. Although people can't understand it actually, we can still expect what they are talking about and they are reacting what they are talking.

   I saw this video very well and I enjoyed watching this video. I think we can also use this for the class, for example, what they are actually talking about and expect their conversation. This can increase student's creactivity. Also, I found there are the babies' world again. Because I have cousin who is about 2 years old and really, she says as this video. So I think this is just a part of learning the language.

Let me introduce myself telling my interesting stories.

Now, I will tell you about 3 interesting stories about me.
Have a fun.


1. When I was young, I went to E-mart. I was so exited to go E-mart that it was difficult to see many people in my village cause I live in countryside. I wanted to see a story book and I wanted to buy it. So, I told mom that I want to buy it. And she said "find one thing what you want to read and come to me. I will sit on the chair over there." But, I just heard that the first part what she said and I didn't hear where she is going to sit. After I chose one book, I start to find my mom and my family. But, even I rn whole floors, I can't find my family. I lost the road. So, I started to cry and one man found me standing on the floor. He asked me about my name and age and my mom's name. Then, he repeated to his radio about it. Suddenly, I can hear broadcasting about it. Yes. The man who asked about me was a worker in there and manage if there's somthing a problem. Finally, I can meet my family and I was happy when I meet them.




2. When I was young, I was really weak that I have many illnesses. For example, atopy, nasal inflammation, and etc,. So, I started to exercise, by going to Taekwondo when I was 6years old. Because I like to exercise and I like to move my body, I loved to do it and after doing it, my illness was recovered and I became really healthy. Now, I am a fourth-degree black belt that when I get older, I will get qualification which I can teach other children. Sometimes, I don't wanted to do it because it was hard and actully, I don't wanted to kick to someone even I like to practice. However, because of this I can get recover from the illness and it made me more stronger than before. In addition, I am really proud of Korea and especially, Taekwondo. Before, I don't know why people says it's good and important but after I know about it, I want to keep it and I want many people to know and learn it.




3. I like to play many instruments. First, I like to play the piano. Because my aunt is a piano teacher, I learned it when I was young. Now, I don't go to the piano academy but still I like to play and in these days I plays drama OSTs. Also, when I was in 3rd grade of the elemantary school I started to learn violin. I started to learn it in England but after I come back to Korea it was hard to find place to learn and teachers. So I have to change many teachers and I have to go far from my home to learn it. From 3 years ago I found my teacher and still I'm learning it. Moreover, I can play the flute. I was interested in flute and I told mom that I want to learn it. I learned it about 1 year and now I can play most of the songs.
 You can think that I only plays the western instruments but actually, I learned Korean music which is Samulnori. I started to learn it when I was in 4th grade of the elemantary school. My school supported us to learn it and I started to learn Janggu. But after 1year, I started to learn kkwaenggwari, a gong, which leads the music. I was happy to play it since it was really interest for me, not for my friends. And we also learned after we became a middle school students and still, I am learning it.
 Actully, I don't want to play it in this year. Because there wasn't many time to learn it and I have to do other things that there were lots of homework. Nevertherless, finally, we got many prizes including the 1st prize and other prizes from our country.
