Haeundae Beach



                                Haeundae Beach

Haeundae Beach is the most popular beach in Korea. Choi Chi-Won of the Silla Kingdom named the beach ‘Haeundae’. Haeundae Beach’s size is “1.5 km long, 30~50m wide, and spans an area of 58,400㎡”(english.visitkorea.or.kr). Weathered shells from the Chuncheon Stream reached this beach and became the sand. This sand is very beautiful. Haeundae Beach has a variety of events to enjoy. People who come to Haeundae Beach can play Korean’s traditional folk game. In addition, various large and small events are held. There are convenient facilities such as Culture Center, Library, hotel and so on. June to August was packed with tourists. However, the winter beach is also beautiful as you will like it. Come to Haeundae Beach and enjoy.


               My experience in Haeundae Beach



    I have been to Haeundae Beach in Busan. When I was 20 years old, I went to Haeundae Beach with my friends. There were so many people. We swam in the water, ate ice cream, and ate fresh sea foods at the waterfront. After eating, we wanted to try to sunbathe; however, there was a lot of trash on the sand. Unavoidably, we cleaned up then we could sunbathe. During sunbathing, I thought that I would not throw garbage at tourist spots because that is irresponsible behavior. After that day, I have not thrown trash away anywhere since then.

Beer in Qingdao and Sapporo

Beer in Qingdao and Sapporo

Qingdao

    We will introduce Qingdao China's port city in the East Coast. Eight-hundred milion people live in Qingdao. Qingdao has the best commerce and industry all over the world. Qingdao’s coast is very deep and does not freeze, so the temperate monsoon climate with four seasons is distinct. Also, Qingdao’s weather is warm in winter and cool in summer because there is oceanic climate. Qingdao is famous for clean water and beer in China. We will introduce beer to you. ‘TSINGTAO’ is one of the top three beers in the world; Carlsberg and Heineken. “The Tsingtao Brewery was founded by The Anglo-German Brewery Co. Ltd., an English-German joint stock company based in Hong Kong who owned it until 1916”       (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsingtao_Brewery), so we wondered what was different from the German’s beer technology and Japanese beer technology.
Sapporo
  Second, we will introduce to you about Sapporo. Sapporo has held a variety of festivals. Also, Sapporo is the only area where there is wet weather in Japan, so festivals have opened with a lot of snow and ice every winter. “Sapporo is the fourth-largest city in Japan by population, and the largest city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapporo). Sapporo is famous as city of snow and ski. One hundred and ninety milion people live in Sapporo. Unusually, this city has many specialties. Also, the city is widely known that Sapporo is famous for its beer, milk and wood Sapporo Beer and Asahi Beer are top in Japan. Most of Asia like Sapporo Beer. If we want to have a chance to drink these beers, we will go to Qingdao and Sapporo. It will be good experiences.
Sapporo Beer Comparison to Qingdao
    We were very curious about the beer’s taste, so we drank it. Sapporo beer was not bitter and had a lighter taste than Qingdao beer. Sapporo beer's mark was a big red star with green bottle. Individually, we thought Sapporo's mark was better than Qingdao beer’s mark for concerning of consumer. Its mark is remarkable. Also, the Sapporo beer’s festival has the greatest beer in our opinion.
Qingdao Comparison to Sapporo Beer
    On the other hand, Qingdao beer was drier than Sapporo beer. We thought Qingdao beer was the mildest in the world. While we were writing this essay, we would like to drink not only Qingdao and Sapporo beer, but also famous beer in other cities. Also, Qingdao beer was more popular than Sapporo beer in Korea beacause Qingdao beer is to  korean taste.

The Secret Garden



The Secret  Garden


-Mary-




I want to tell you about Mary Lennox. She was born in India. On page 1, chapter 1, ‘She was born in India, where her father was a British official.’ Her family was very busy, so she wasn’t taken care by them. She was always alone in India. Therefore, her personality was not good. On page 1, chapter 1, ‘She was a very selfish, disagreeable, bad tempered little girl.’ She wasn’t a beautiful girl and she was a bad girl. Her appearance was unattractive. On page 1, chapter 1, ‘She had a thin angry face and thin yellow hair.’ Before Mary lived in England she was selfish, but after Mary moved to England she could be considerate of others. She was quite a good girl.

I think the book ‘The Secret  Garden’ is very impressive. While I was reading this book, I remembered Helen Keller. Mary changed herself and then she changed to another person. The secret of this was ‘Magic’. Positive mind is magic. The magic cures disease and so on. I decide to have a  positive mind from now on and then magic will come to me.

Last Summer Vacation


Last summer vacation, I went to Geojedo Island with my friend. When we arrived Geojedo Island, we rented a car because it was very large. We went Jangseungpo beach, Oedo-Botania, and Hill of the Wind in Geojedo Island. Jangseungpo beach was crowded with fisherman and there were many seafood restaurants. We ate set menu with marinated crab at a famous restaurant. That was very delicious. After eating marinated crab, we got aboard a cruise ship toward Oedo-Botania. Oedo-Botania was decorated by the hand of man. I thought that Oedo was the best beautiful island all over the world. Last, I drove a car towad Hill of the ind. There was introduced broadcasting many times before. On the Hill of the Wind, I was very happy because I could see the most beautiful scenery. I can’t forget the scenery out of my mind until now. I would really like to visit Geojedo Island again, if I get the chance. I recommend to visit Geojedo Island very much !!

My name is Jo Byung Hyun, and I’m from Busan. I want to tell you about my hometown, Busan. In Busan, you can see beautiful beaches; Haeundae beach, eat fresh sea food, and visit Nampo-Dong. There are lots of spectacles. Nampo-dong has a shopping mall, street food mall, and traditional market. In addition, near by Nampo-dong, there is a beautiful beach. Haeundae beach is Korea's most popular beach. Haeundae beach’s sand is very soft. Many people want to visit Haeundae every summer. There are many fresh sea foods on the waterfront.

Fantine in Les Miserables

Les Miserables
        - Fantine-


Do you know a charming and good woman in Paris? Here is Fantine. She is so pretty. She has only one daughter, Cosette. She doesn’t have a good relationship with people. She doesn’t have anything; money, friend, husband and hope of the future. Even, she is unemployed.
Fantine was very poor, so she left Cosette in the care of Monsieur and Madame Thenardier. For example on page 7, chapter 2. She had to pay some money instead of the desire. Before she left her daughter with Madame Thenardier, she couldn’t work because people didn’t hire single mother’s, like her. After she left her daughter with Madame Thenardier, she could got a job. She toilfully made money to send to Madame Thenardiers for her daughter. She cut her hair in order to make money in page 9, chapter 2. She was taken with a disease because she worked too hard. she entered a hospital, and she died. Before she died, she required Jean Valjean to take care of Cosette in page 15, chapter 2.

I thought the book was very exciting because this book’s storyline was touching and tensional. The more I read, the deeper I got carried away. Especially, I was very impressed by Fantine. In a difficult situation, she wasn’t pessimistic. She was devotional and didn’t know abandonment. This book| taught many things to me

Elepahnt Man- Merrick


Elephant Man’s name was Joseph Merrick. He had an ugly face and body. For example, on page 4, chapter 1, ‘ I see horrible, ugly thing every day. But this creature, this thing, was the worst of all. ’ He looked like elephant’s face.  He was very slow, because his legs were big on page 4~5, chapter 1 , ‘His legs were very big and fat, and he had a bad back.’ He had only a mother in his family, but she went missing. He had a good manners, and deep down he was quite nice. For example on page 18~20, chapter 4, ‘I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. He was not happy about it, but he was not very angry. I think he felt sorry for the girl.’ This sentence shows an example of how is Merrick worried about others.

I though Merrick was an incapable man because he was unable to do without people. For example on page 29, Cheapter 6, ‘He was more like a child than a man. He could not go out of the hospital by himself.’ He had to do anything by hinself, even if he was ugly. Also, I though Merrick was mentally immature because he could not go out of the hospital by himself and he though that the theater acts were real in the theatre. For example on page 29 and 30, Chapter 6, ‘He thought and played like a child. ’ I thoght Dr. Frederick Treves was a very kind person because he changed Merrick’s life and people’s view about Merrick. People liked to visit  him. For example, on page 24, chapter 5, ‘A lot of important ladies and gentlemen visited him.’

Movie Character Essay - Yes, Man (Carl)




Yes, Man  – Carl




Do you know Carl who always said  “No”? He always thought negatively. His job was judging one's qualifications for a loan in the bank. He lived alone. He was skinny and had short brown hair. He had three friends and no girlfriend. He was neither tall nor small. He had an indifference relationship with his surrounding people. From my point of view, he had no soul.

 
One day, Carl’s old friend suggested some conference and he took part in the conference. The conference was about saying ‘Yes’. Carl promised to say ‘Yes’ instead of ‘No’ in there. Before Carl promised that, he didn’t know about his best friend. He forgot his friend’s engagement. Oneday, his boss canceled his promotion, but he made nothing of it. After Carl promised that, Carl’s life was changed. He always said ‘Yes’ in every situation. Gradually, he turned into ‘Yes man’. He learned to play guitar and to speak Korean. He even learned how to fly an airplane. Finally, he fell in love with a beautiful woman. After he became 'Yes Man', most important thing was that he concerned himself with surrounding people.

  1.  
Carl has a positive mind, so he will live the diametrical life. In his company, his business will work out fine because his colleagues will like him. He will be magnanimous to everyone, so he will have many friends. Carl and his girlfriend will have a good relationship. They will share their hobby just like old times. He will help pessimistic people like he was.
