What's on Your Bucket List?

  As for myself, I have always want to visit North Korea. It is divided into two nations: the South and the North. It occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. It also one of the pool country. I always have questions about the North Korea. I'd like to know about their life, environment and characteristic. In fact the North is a very closed and secluded country.I think it is the most mysterious country in the world and that country is most. Many world leaders question how the country will change. That's why Before I die, I'd like visit that country, North Korea.

Euphemisms

  Euphemisms are common phenomena which can be seen frequently in every language in the world. Every countries have lots of euphemisms. My country also instead of saying a person died, we say he passed away. Instead of saying go to bathroom, we say go to see my work. Instead of saying to person who lazy, we say carefree. Instead of saying mental hospital, we say white hospital. like that we always try to  polite way of saying something.

If I Could Change My Country

 If I Could Change My Country

   My country is South Korea. I think my country have a lots of problems. especially, the Police. These days Korea is not same with before. I'm in U.S. now, and I can feel that America police is very strick, people are respect the police, too. However, Korea people is not, sometimes they look down policeman and some people get into trouble with the police. but I naver saw before that situation in America. America policeman are something dignified in their bearing. People are so awed by their air of dignity that they aren't able to make any objections. I think America people are afraid the police and recpect them. We need to change the police's image, only then will Korea raise its status in the world.

Appreciating my family of origin


Appreciating my family of origin

   I feel disappointed with my parents.  When I was young I felt that they are too strict with me and I thought  that they don't understand me. However, I realized that for the most part, especially education part. I really luv sports and I always play soccer, basketball and baseball all day long. Then, My parents let me go to private educational institute. Then, I can't understand why they do like that strick about my study. But now I realize that education is very important thing in our life, especiall good university can be control our life position. I'm still studying now, that's why I want to get a good job and work of life.
