When I Am Sick

I am too sick because I have cold. My works are too a lot to ought, so I feel more sick. I need somebody care me. However, it is America. I feel sad. To be sick alone, is very sad. I miss my parents. I want to see my parents. My parents always take care for me when I was sick, so I feel lonely. Sometimes, I would be in deep thought where is here, what am I doing here. Sometimes, I dream nightmare. I always run to somewhere, but it is hard to run as who runs in water. I am very exhausted when I woke up. I do not want to get stress anymore because of pains.

Venice Beach

Venice Beach was really simple, normal, similar Santa Monica Beach. Firstly, Venice Beach is too simple. Especially, I could not play on the beach to break view off. Secondly, Venice Beach is normal as another beach. Before I went there, I expected special, but there were only fishing guys, birds, and people. Thirdly, Venice and Santa Monica beach are alike. I occured Santa Monica Beach's coastline and sight when I went to Venice Beach. Venice Beach is very beautiful place, but it was not different from others beach.

How Our Classmates Improved

I read others' writings at the beginning through the ending in order to look into their progress. Some people improved their writing skill and grammar, but the other did not. However, I could not look how our classmates improved. Actually, they improved a little than the beginning as I could not find their progress. Maybe, the reason might be my English is not good. I think my English is terrible, so I may not find others' development. I always learn to read others' writing. To be honestly, I feel my complex for others. I do not know English words than others, but my writing also is left behind as others' writing. Therefore, not only will I improve my English as others but that also my purpose.

Wilbur and Babe

Charlotte's web and Babe both have a story about animals. The animals can talk each other in the storys. Wilbur and Babe also have special talent. Wilbur can turn over head spin and Babe is sheep pig. They also have friens to help them if they might happen. From this, Charlotte's web and Babe have similar content.

However, Charlotte's web and Babe have differences. Charlotte's web mostly considers friendship. Charlotte sacrifices his life for Wilbur. It brings deep love beyond friendship.

To Lead Presentation by Way of Good Methods.

I saw presentations that our classmates did today. To mention honestly, many friends were well done, but the rest of them, made a several fatal errors. From this, I got how to do good presentation loosely. First of all, to lead interesting presentation, is to show visual performance about each presentation. I was interested by Shion's, Erica's, Nammin's, Youngun's presentation. Second, to say as possible as easy and fun, is more interesting obviosly.

When we are doing presentation, we ought not to do mistake. First, we should not just read paragraghs. It could be to make boring presentation. Second, when we choose a topic, small and detailed scale is more better. If topic is too big, presenter has to say too a lot.

Shion's Presentation

Shion will talk about Japaness Calligraphy. Japaness Calligraphy is Japaness words to use writing brush and black ink on white paper. I did a little Japaness Calligraphy, but it was hard to write well. Calligraphy has very old history since 4505 years ago. Actually, I don't believe it. Calligraphy has three kinds of writing, Kaisho, "Correct Writing", Gyosho, "Traveling Writing", Sousho, "Grass Writing". I could learn how to write Japaness Calligraphy.

Rewriting Farmers' Market

The Farmers' Market had nothing special to except organic foods, cheap price, and kind people. The Farmers’ Market had organic foods, but it was too normal to gather a lot of people. Big Market, Target, Ralphs, Vons have many kinds of food, so people usually use them. The Farmers’ Market had lower price, but it could not make different from other shops. The reason is it is not so much different price especially, and other shops also sell many sale articles. The Farmers’ Market had kind people, thence I could talk with them, but it is not surely necessary. Shop means just selling articles. The Farmers’ Market had nothing special, but it might be good shop for some people otherwise.

The Day

The day will be coming soon! It is I will live alone. I am living with my brother, but my brother has to move out near UCLA because of business. I will get someone can live with me. I will buy necessary furniture for me. It will be fun. However I also worry how to go to school, how to use money, and how to live alone. To live alone, might be lonely, annoying, hard, but I want to try that. It is only one chance for me to live alone of my life. From now, I have to live alone and make it through whatever might happen. I will fight my-self.

Fun Party

I went to level1’s party on Wednesday. After the class, we came together, and we went to Bear’s house. Then we played soccer to make a bet prize. That was who loser team must pay for dinner. I was so good because our team won resistant the other team. After that, I could have free dinner, so we ate Korean B.B.Q. After the party, several people went home, and the rest went to song room. We sang songs in enthusiasm. Next, we were going to go each house, but I had to pick up others because I only had a car among them. I picked up others, and then came home at A.M 01:00. I was exhausted, but I did not regret about that. It was very fun for me. I hope I will get that chance once more.

Jack and Me

Jack was a boy as who does not like to write poetry, but he was more interested in poetry to write them. I often wrote poetry during my schooling. I was same as Jack did not like to write poetry at first. However, I felt my deep emotion inside my hidden heart when I wrote poetry. I have many in common with Jack in that way.

Poetry has many good effects at people. To write poetry, thereby people would grow up their sensibility, and it enables people could think deeply. Poetry is usually short as well, but it has many connotative meanings. From this people say poetry is beautiful.

Rewriting Other's Writing

The fammer's market had many beautiful fruits. It was on Santa Monica third street and Arizona blvd. I went to the farmer's market yesterday with my classmate. There were many people and shops to sell fruits and flowers. It was amazed to eat a sample of orange because it tasted fresh, juicy, and looked beautiful. However I did not buy it because if I bought the beautiful orange, I want to eat everyday. It means to spend money, and I will get fat. That was a reason why I stopped my mind. Actually, I want to eat the orange again.

The Meanings of Artist and Gentleman.

I saw Great Expectation's movie. In the movie, Pip was being an artist. From this, it brang many different meanings. I thought about the meaning of gentleman. I occured goodness, kindness, generousity at first. Then I thought the meanings were how to make different from the meanings of artist. The book has real meaning about Great Expectation. I think Great Expectation means not to come by outside things like money, honor, but inside heart and mind. Thence, gentleman is related lots of meaning with Great Expectation.

Against gentleman, artist is just dream for Pip. In my opinion, gentleman is not a job but character. However artist is a job and way to make money, so the movie is not related with Great Expectation. It makes Pip run his own way for not only his dream but also Estella.

Farmers' Market

The Farmers' Market had nothing special to except some foods. I went to a Farmer's Market on 4th and Arizona. While I was going there, I saw another Farmer's Market on 23st and Pico. When I arrived at the Farmers' Market, many our classmates were in the market. First, we looked around the street. However there were nothing special I expected before. Many fruits, nuts, and vegietables were in the market. I bought some peanuts and tasted. It was sweet and tasty. The market smelled bad. The market was just "Farmer's Market" as the name.

Los Angeles

I have been here for 8months. Actually, I am not as good at English as I am here for a long time. I try to study everyday thence. My life in Los Angeles is not so good because I don’t go any special places in Los Angeles. The reason is I don’t have many friends here as well as laziness. I want to go to famous places in L.A.

I have ever heard that Los Angeles means the angels of the city by someone. However no matter how I see anywhere, there were no angels in L.A. Los Angeles is very famous in Korea. Many Korean want to come in L.A. English is a strong in Korea. I live in Korea-town. Los Angeles is very beautiful city to except Korea-town. Korea-town people usually say it seems Korean 1970~1980 age. I hate Korea-town’s structures.

Love Pets

I read a several poems in a book, was Love That Dog. The only one poem inspired me. The poem was Love That Boy by Walter Dean Myers. First, I was interested in its title because the title was very similar as the book's title. I read a little bunch of pages in the book. The main character, Jack always copied another poems just changing his own words. Thence, I could guess what he wrote in "Love That Dog".

If which people have a pet, they can not bring up their pet without love. I have a pet as well. I really love my dog as Jack love his dog. Not only do I miss but also want to see my dog.

In my opinion, pet has very important meaning that human's life. Pet give hapiness, hope, longing, and also to include sadness for people. To grow pet, is same amount to grow love.

Today, I taught driving a car for Sunmin. Sunmin wanted to drive a car. So I went to Sunmin's house because there was no car and best place to practice driving. First, I explained basic function of car and how to use gas pedal, brake pedal. Then we started driving. We turned a neighborhood village. Sunmin was awkward at driving, but first driving even though he could do well.

Mexican Restaurant

Yesterday, I went to Mexican restaurant with friend on Hoover and Olympic. The restaurant name was El Taurino. There were lots of menu, but I thought the best menu was taco and burrito. I have heard taco and burrito were best food of many Mexican foods. I have never eaten them, but I tried. First, I ordered taco and burrito with coke. It tasted light and a little spicy. It was very delicious not to mention made me fulled.

I felt Mexican food was so good. If I have a next chance, I want to go with my family. It is not enough to taste only me, and I will go to another restaurants on weekend. At next time, I want to try Thai foods. I have heard a restaurant good at Thai foods on Westwood blvd.

Bad at Grammar

Today, I studied English grammar in Susan's blog. I have been believing my grammar was good, but my reality was not like that. I solved some quizzes about prepositions: at, in and on. At first, I was confidence at those quizzes. During doing the quizzes, I made a lot of mistake. As time passes, there were same quizzes. But I was confused. As a result, I solved the answers just 60% correctly. From this, I made a decision to study grammar in enthusiasm. I will study grammar 1 hour of a day.

Difference Les Miserables Movie and Book

Les Miserables's movie was little different from the book. There was a several difference between the movie and the book. Among them, I considered a relationship of Jean Valjean and Javert most important difference. In the book, Javert had seen Jean Valjean first when Jean Valjean was a mayor. In the movie, Jean Valjean was Javert's prisoner before mayor. When Jean Valjean was trying to save Fauchelevent, Javert suspected the mayor might be Jean Valjean. An addition, Jean Valjean gave some money and job for Fauchelevent in the movie. But in the book, Jean Valjean gave only gardener. Moreover, Jean Valjean helped no hesitation for Fauchelevent in the movie. In the book, Jean Valjean offered his money to help at first.

Actually, I didn't watch whole the movie. It was interesting let alone more detail than the book.

Origami

Today, I saw Origami. I have heard that means folding a paper to make something. However as long as I was watching about Origami, I didn't understand almost heard. But I could know a little what was going on to show on TV. The surprising was there was mathematics's records. To unford a folding paper, one standard strait line has left side and right side. The left side seemed same as right side. It was surprised.

Summury of Les Miserables

Les Miserables was written by Victor Hugo, is about how did the main character Jean Valjean overcome whatever might happen after while he had been spent nineteen years in jail that he stole a loaf of bread in nineteen centuries France. Then he found a bishop’s house, was the one of houses he could sleep while he was finding inn in the town of Digne in order to sleep. His soul was sold to the bishop because he stole bishop’s silver. After that, he became a mayor and he helped Javert’s prisoner which woman was Fantine. One day, Jean Valjean had heard which man had been getting to suspect instead of him, so he told he was Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean bought Cosette lots of money by Thenadier, after he lived a new life with Cosette in Paris. But there was Javert, so they ran away. Cosette joined the convent and had met Marius. Next, Jean Valjean was trapped by Thenadier, but he escaped. Cosette and Marius fell in love not only him but also her. There was French revolution in 1832. Jean Valjean saved Marius in order to bring him for Cosette, and Javert died. Finally, Jean Valjean died as well. The theme in the story is anyone could not live completely as good as in law, but people have to live honestly as Jean Valjean did.

Jean Valjean's and My Lives.

I read a song "Who Am I?". I didn't understant whole sentences surely. The song seems to be before the court, he sang. At that moment, Jean Valjean looked as he have a big trouble. To summarize, Jean Valjean was thinking to make him-self, is Jean Valjean or is not. Finally, he told the truth and became a prisoner again.

I have in common with Jean Valjean to live each life. In the past, I wanted to be a generous man getting reception when would I go anywhere by everyone. Actually, I would help others how could I do the maximum. To be honest, it was really hard. Sometimes, I didn't see to be true for others. I will become as Jean Valjean did, and I do my best. It is generous and gentle man.
