Korean has ' Eol jjang' syndrome these days. 'Eol' is a short form of 'faces' and 'jjang' means 'the best' in Korean. 'Eol jjang' stands for someone who has very good look in Korean. This syndrome has been in fashion for years. As a result of it, people started to care of their appearance and also, they have the tendency which judge someone by his/her appearance. we call it, Lookism. That is so sad and stupid and it should be changed.
Then what are the problems with lookism? It makes people feel that they have to be beautiful. Because of this, people have plastic surgery. It would be right, for example, if someone got plastic surgery for one's self-satisfaction. She had a complex about her eyes so she could not make eye contact with anybody and after surgery she got confidence when she were talking with somebody. However, Korean today get plastic surgery for getting a job and getting a boyfriend or husband. Sad to say, it is becoming very common among not only women but also men.
In fact, lookism has really made very seriously problems. As I mentioned above, many people had plastic surgery and some of them are addicted to it. It is a kind of mental illness and they never satisfy with their appearance so they long to have surgery more and more. In addition, people want to be in fit for having good look. Some people work out for it but most people choose being on a diet. Here is something have to concern. If someone were on a diet very extremely, it could bring him/her anorexia or bulimia. These are also a sort of mental illness and these are common side effects of diet. For sure, they make him/her get sick not be seen beautiful or healthy. As a matter of fact, many people are suffering from these kinds of side effects.
It is time to consider this situation seriously and try to get out of it. Mass media could feel the responsibility about this because if they had been able to foster lookism, on the other hand, that means they would have power that can make things go in the right way. Furthermore the thing we could do is to try to pursuit inner beauty which is more beautiful and important. There is an old saying, it is telling us that do not judge a book by its cover.

If vegetable could talk...
If the vegetable talk, what it will happen? We can guess lots of situatuions and I think if the vegetable say, I feel very scary. Because whenever I want to eat the vegetable, it says to me " Please don't eat me! "It seems like butcher livestock. So may be there will be objection of eating vegetables. Oh my god! If the group founds, how does human take many nutritions? Do they eat just meat or kind of artifical nutrition? It could be very serious problem.
However I don't want to write serious problem so I think another situation which is human and vegetable will be good friends. It means human grows vegetable which looks like pet. So for example, if some grow a tomato or a potato, when person give nutritions to it which will say "Thank you master or friend. ". It could be very good for some people who want to bring pet but they have a sort of allegy or fear of animal.
If some scientists invent that vegetable can say, the pet business will improve level and expand field. We can imagine we can talk with vegetables after invention. Sometimes it may have seroios problems but it might have positive things and develope language study. Anyway it is impossible in thesedays so just imagine and laugh!

An older person I admire
I admire my university professor who teaches business ethics. His name is Yo Sub ,Lee and he is over 60 years old and healthy. I heard from my freind that his orginal major was not business when he was young, he studied art and sculpture. After his graduation, he went to usa and started to study business in graduated college.
I admire him because whenever he teaches hs pupils, he always does his best. for example, he always comes to the class 10min to lecture time and leaves the class final. When I asked him " Why do you always come early and leave late?", he answered " Because I have a big responsibity which I have to manage all students and improve students's experts and then I want to see all my followers so I always do it." at that time I was really impressed and from that time I admired him. Another reason is whenever I told with him, he always spoke politely and gave an honorfic. Even though I am one of his many students, he knew my name and information exactly.
When I counseled with him because I worried about study English in another country, he said to me " Place is not importnat and you should try to do best and if you want to be succeed anything, you have to keep your mind honestly." Nowaday I lose my first mind so I am going to try change my mind which is origin and I will do my best.

Poverty in Japan
Notes:
About a sixth of the world's population still live in extreme poverty, earning less than $1 per day, and nearly a seventh of the world's population face starvation
the widening gap between rich and poor and the growing ranks of "working poor" have been hotly debated in Japan lately, many Japanese seem to be more inward-looking than before, showing little interest in the acute issues of global wealth gap and poverty.
spending for public-works projects, widely seen as a main target for budget reductions, has been axed in recent years amid strong public criticism of pork-barrel projects.

Take off your colored glasses about AIDS
You must have been heard about HIV and AIDS. HIV(Human Immuno Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). If you are infected with HIV, you will experience some 'flue-like' symptoms. However, it lasts only few days. You would feel healthy again and have no problem. It takes about 10 years from the date of the infection to experience the signs of AIDS. The period between HIV infection and appearance of AIDS depends on the infected person's health. If he is healthy, the period might be longer.
There are several things people think as a way of transmission of HIV.
-kissing
-shaking hands
-hugging
-using a toilet
-drinking from the same glass
-sneezing
-coughing
Do you think that you can get HIV from this kind of casual contacts? If you say yes, you're wrong. It's not true. You could never get the virus through this casual contact so there's no problem living with the infectee.
And the follow's are prevalent knowledges about AIDS.
-AIDS is a genetic disease.
-You would get HIV right away if you slept with an infected person.
-You could get HIV if you shared a needle with an infected person.
-Breast mild can transmit HIV from a mother to a baby.
The first one is wrong. Many people believe that it's true but scientists and doctors found out that AIDS was not a genetic disease. The virus could be transmitted during the delivery if mother was infected. However, if the doctor was carefule enough, the baby would not get HIV.
The second one is wrong either, in spite of the prevalent idea. Even though having sex is one of the strongest way of transmission, the possibility is very low. It's usually under 1%. (0.1~1.0%) So, continuous sex can be dangerous, but having sex once is usually not serious.
The third one is true but the possibility is low, too. Scientists reported the possibility as 0.7%.
Last one is true. Breast milk has the virus in it. Because a baby has a very weak immune system, he would get HIV very easily if mother was infected.
The reason why I wanted to talk about AIDS is that a lot of people are suffering from the prejudice. It is the prejudice not the disease which kills them. People around them regard them as criminals or animals. The infected people are isolated from their family, friends, and jobs. They are even losing basic human rights. It's sad but it's the reality. What we can do is to open mind to them and to take off our colored glasses! It really makes difference.

Daylight Saving Time
Do you know? We have to correct your clock in this weekend and we have to get up early. Why do we have to do? Because the move back from daylight saving time to standard time will take effect at 2 a.m. on first sunday in November. In summer season, we has been effected by daylight saving time, but we will retern to standard time in next week.
I didn't think about daylight saving time before I came here. Because we don't have daylight saving time in Korea. For the first time, I really confused. I didn't know why people change the standard time, and what is daylight saving time.
Nowadays Korea is tring to adopt daylight saving time. It make people confuse, but why Korea government is tring to adopt it? What is positive side, and what is nagative side? We need to think about it.
Daylight Saving Time is the practice of turning the clock ahead as warmer weather approaches and back as it becomes colder again so that people will have one more hour of daylight in the afternoon and evening during the warmer season of the year.
It save energy. It's one of the biggest reasons we change our clocks. If we adopt daylight saving time, we will get up early. We will start working one hour early and finish early. We will go to bed early too. For one hour, we can use daylight more than don't adopt daylight saving time.
If people expose to the sun more long time, they will be more healthier than before. This is another reason.
Even though daylighting saving time has good reasons, many country don't adopt this system. Because it make people confuse. If a country is effected by daylight saving time, whenever people go to forign country, they have to concern about the time. Birthday can be changed, and people have to change their life rhythm.

About Britney Spears!!!!!!
Pop singer Britney Spears is in the head lines for the wrong reasons again. Photographers snapped her driving her car with her four month old son on her lap. Ms.spears has admitted that her actions were dangerous.
However, she has blamed the paparazzi for being aggressive her. She said the photographers follow her every moving. She added that she feels she is always trying to escape from them. Ms. spears said she put her son on her lap to protect him from media.
Nowaday she usuallu makes accidents which are her exposure and drunk driving, scandle. So media attacks her who is good targer for making issue and the issue is popular favor. She is super star and her life is curioused by public however many people detest her behaviours so some media experts said her comback is not good in these days.
What shoud she do to return her glory? In my opinion she should think very carefully before she behaves because she is superstar so she is always proud of herself which is dangerous idea. the resuly is usually negative things. If she manage her action by herself, she will be queen of pop singer again. and she shoud try to keep her temper who blames media or paparazzi because they bother her but she has to control her emotion. The reason is she also needs their support or help which is used to keep her popularity.
In my conclusion, thesedays she doesn't try to revise herself if she didn't do it, she can't get her former popularity. Stars are public persons so they should be a good example of society because their behaviours infuluence very strong!

Global Warming
Recently, scientists have discovered that our environment is changing for the worse. There are some causes and effects about global warming and the holes in the ozone layer. Why we are experiencing global warminjg and holes in the ozone layer is because a lot of factories manufacture poison and pollution without recycling. Coal is plentiful and the cheapest resource in the world and the mass of CO2 is produced from coal.
People also cut down many trees for wood or burn them to clear land for farming, therefore de-forestation will decrease the amount of CO2 being absorbed. Moreover, CO2 is the main gas causing global warming. The other problem is scientists found a hole in the ozone layer near Antarctica. People using air conditioners, refrigerators and aerosol cans containing CFCs will destroy the ozone layer.
Global warming causes extreme weather. For instance, glaciers melting, sea levels rising and flooding. A place that has never had tornadoes is now experiencing them. Places susceptible to drought are drier than before. If sea levels rise, we will lose a lot of land and a lack of fresh water. Then, many habitats will disappear and animals will become extinct. We'll probably get epidemics because of extreme weather. The hole in the ozone layer allows ultraviolet radiation fo directly into the Earth. People will also get skin cancer more easily.
Altogether, we should cherish our Earth or destruction will happen one day. I think if everyone does their best, the Earth will get better. In my opion, if we could

A Trip to Vancouver
I went to Vancouver three weeks ago. My friend was supposed to move to Vancouver. Just one day before he leave, he just said to me that he will go there by car. I really wanted to join with him. Going to Vancouver by car looked like it was going to be very exciting. I wanted to try go for it! Finally, I decided to go there and we left Toronto. It was a very nice trip. I have been visited many place on that trip.
The first day of night, we didn't know that driving at night would be so very dangerous. We just drove very quickly. On the second day, we heard from various sources that driving at night would be very dangerous because there were many wild animals on the road. They can come up the road that it leads many dangerous situation that involve hitting large animals on the road. We began to be careful from then on.
That night, we saw a wolf on the road.We drove slowly to avoid dangerous situation. If we had drove quickly without being cautious, we would have had an accident. During this trip, I also have one really good memory that I can't forget. 2nd day of trip, when we were driving at night, suddenly my friend shouted. I freaked out and asked him what happened. He just said to me look at the sky. I got my cat to pull over the road and then I saw the sky. When I was seeing the sky, I was shocked. I also shouted like 'Aha!'. There was so many stars. Half of the sky was filled with stars. I couldn't believe that. I had never seen like that scenery. It was awesome.
I could feel how great God is and His creation. We stopped off at many place; Calgary, Thunder bay, Winnipeg and Banff and so on. Banff was also very beautiful. When we arrived there was snowing. We also went to Lake Louise. The water was so clean and the color of water was green. I just surprised and it gave me great impression.
From Toronto to Vancouver, it took over 5 days by car. Certainly we were very tired during the trip but it was really nice. I could realize a lot of things. I think Canada is blessed land. They have big land that has many natural resources. It also seemed to be developed more and more at any time. Canada is so beautiful country. I want to trip like this again.

How could Britney put her life together?
As you know, Britney Spears is a famous American pop singer. After she came out , she was always great success about her works. The album's single"toxic"was an international and has won her first ever Grammy Award. She is famous not only her songs but also her personal life. It has gained much attention from the media as a result of her stardom.
Her life was the wind in the beginning of this year. In 2004, she announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, three month after they met. He had very recently been in a relationship with actrss who was eight months pregnant with his second child. If she had considered who he is and what he had done before, she wouldn't have gotten married with him.
She had 2 children, but their divorce was highly publicized, followed by a legal battle for the custody. After the mediation, they shared the custody for their sons. A few days later, she was officially charged with hit-and-run and driving without a license. If she had convicted, she could have forced a year in jail. She should have cared about her conducts.
After that, throughout 2007, she has been the subject of media which wanted to air a series of controversial behavior in public. Every day we could hear about her gossips.
What might have happened her? She stayed in an off-shore drug rehabilitation facility in Antigua for less than 24 hours on February 16, because her parents and relatives recommended to have a rehablitation. The following day, she went to haircutting studio and shaved her hair off with clippers. After the several unconsiderable behaviors, finally she was dispossessed of her custody for her children.
Now she came back with her new song "Gimme more". People still doubt whether it is real come back or not. If she sing her song in live performance, say good bye to her foolish friends and drugs, she will get good relationship with her sons and people who helps her.

How can Britney Spears change her life?
Britney Spears was a top star few years ago. Her songs and dances affected many teenagers in several countries. She's still one of the most popular stars whom Paparazzi and Tabloid reporters love. However, everyone would agree that her reputation as a lovely pop icon has been ruined since 2004.
Britney married backup dancer Kevin Federline who already has 2 children with Shar Jackson in September, 2004. Next year, she gave birth to Sean Preston Federline, her first son. Unfortunately, She got into more troubles after his birth. Photos of Spears driving a car with an infant son on her lap are released. Many people blamed her and authorities visited her to investigate. Even after that, carelessly, she made her son fall from a high chair and almost dropped him in front of media. She insisted that she was trying to be a good mother and actually she was, but her behaviors didn't support her insistence at all.
She gave birth to another boy baby and two months later, she divorced Federline. However, her behaviors which seemed she had no qualification as a mother kept going, and finally she lost custody of children. her former bodyguard even witnessed her drug use in front of the children. It seems that she gets into more serious troubles as time goes by. Photos showing her without underwear were taken and they made us shocked. Is she never going to be same again as we remember? How can she change her life?
She should not hang out with her friends! There's a saying, "If you see one's friends, you can get his/her number." Yes! Your friends tell who you are. Britney is now so in love with having parties with her crazy friends - Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Lohan is a drug addict and has been in rehab. Hilton has sent to jail for drunk driving. All of them are kind of spoiled children. They became a big star when they were young and that spoiled them. If Britney didn't hand out with them, she could be changed.
Also, it would be a good idea for her to join a social service program. She could donate to charity or she could visit the poor in person. There are lots of social programs that can change her if she wants outside of the party place.
Now, it's time she had to change herself, her life! She has to remember that she has a responsibility as a mother and as a public person. Everybody is looking forward to seeing her changed life.

How could Britney put her life back together?
I think if Britney wants to change her life, she'll think deeply before do something. But I don't think she wants to change her life when I read her article recently.If she worked tidy for her children in her house, she mightn't lost custody of her children. She lost custody of her children because she was accused of not taking a random drug and alcohol test and she couldn't provide a driver's licence. Maybe she has many another reason why she is hard situation. If she thought deeply her behavior, nobody might blame her.
How can Britney change her life? It's a difficult question because I don't know about her. If I think about her, first she has to change her mind. I don't know her thinking, but I think she should change her thinking because she is a mother. If she is fully conscious of her responsibility as a mother, she mightn't go out every night. I can't think about if I have a children, but I understand it's very hard. If I think about only me, I mustn't have a child. Anyway if she had a strong will, she might have kept being nice artist.

An older person I admire
An older person who I admire is my grandmother. Her name is Nobuko. She is 72 years old. She used to have 11 siblings, but most of them died because of the second world war.

To talk with vegetable
When we are children might at least one time thought about talking with vegetable.
Of course that is impassible until now. but if the god made a mistake or just wanted to have fun
so suddenly every vegetable would talk with people which might be friendly or terrible or just noisy.
If I were quit nervous about standing in front of lots of people, so in that reason I wouldn't have any friends. It can be good practice stuff usually talk with vegetable and then finally I will be talking with someone fluently.
And many people who has lots of money, don't need to have a alarm for example,
"Dude, wake up 2 strange guys are invading in the house they are claiming my back now!! they are so heavy and rude"
On the other hand if vegetable say complaint or requirement a lot until they are satisfy.
Former will be pretty tired,exhausted and puzzled.
If nobody want to be former we wouldn't buy vegetable easily. Even though that is one of the most important nutritious. And whenever we cook vegetable that will be saying something for example " Please dear, I don't want to be dead now. I have been living only for 7 months. I could see sky 4 months though. That is unfair I wish I lived more than now"
Fortunately or unfortunately those things are just supposition. If we are worried about talkative vegetable that is so unnecessary.
Although vegetable can't talk that is okey.
If we really like our own tree which bear vegetable and do our best. We could understand what they want and what they want to say.

What would happen if water in the ocean increased by 10 meters
If water in the ocean increased by 10 meters, some small islands like Tuvalu would sink under the sea. The continents would't sink, even though water in the ocean increased by 10 meters. However, people who live at the sea shore would have to move somewhere where they can live safely.
It can be accepted for people who can get the information which water in the ocean is increasing but peple who live in uncivilized place like no electricity or waterworks can't get the exact information about that, We would investigate how many people there are in uncivilized islands, and we would tell them that you have to prepare some boats inside their houses and learn how to swim.
It would have many refugees, and if they lose their own land, they have to change their citizenship. If their life is uncivilized, it would take a long time to get used to living in the new city life.
There is another problem which is fishery zone. In Japan, we have a small island which is called Okinotori island. The small desert island is located the extreme south of our country and keeps our fishery zone. Actually it doesn't look like islands it kind of concrete block. At high tide, it almost sinks under the sea, so we have to harden artificially.
We used to eat fish for our main food and we believe that we can eat them forever as a same taste. But once we lose the island, we couldn't eat various kinds of fish. So now we keep it to harden by concrete. It is a big problem for Japanese, if we can't eat many kinds of fish, Japanese would be come eat beef or pork more than before. It isn't good for our health, even though they are delicious. The prise of fish are higher, people couldn't buy fish. I'm anxious that Japanese would gain weight. Therefore, we have to keep water in the ocean doesn't increase any more to keep our wonderful food life.

What would happen if vegetables could talk.
Language is a privilege for human beings. Human beings are fed up with talking with each other. It is kind of boring. They started to have pets as friends like dogs, cats, birds and even snakes. One day, what would happen if vegetables could talk? It would be big chaos but human would try to find something interesting with them and some people would want to use them for their interest on the other hand some people would want to protect them.
Vegetables that can talk could be pets. People are always looking for something new. It might be big fashion. Also, It would be a very big business because if people had a vegetable as a their pet they might want to keep it alive as long as possible. People might want to make special house and medication and so on. It could be also possible that some vegetable could be given some special education and then they could be used for children education, depressed patients and visually impaired people.
If vegetables could talk, that means they also would be influenced by cultures. It would be a good idea to trade vegetables for the purpose of learning languages and cultures. Vegetables that can talk could be good tutors. For example, if someone wanted to learn English, he/she could buy a vegetable from the countries that use English as the first language. People could get a tutor which can speak language as a native with small payment compare to go abroad or get a tutor who is real human.
That would be very funny. Vegetarian might have a big problem. They would have conflict over eating vegetables. Some vegetarians do not eat meats and that kinds of things because they think meats are from killing animals. According to this reason, many vegetarian would reject to eat vegetables. However, there would still be some people who want to eat vegetables for their health. It would be possible to have conflict between vegetarians with destruction of life.
It seems like very exciting to talk with vegetables. In fact, if vegetables could talk, they would be respected as life more than animal. Also, They would be closer with human just like animal have done before. However, if I were a vegetable that can talk, I would not talk to people because if people found vegetables that can speak. The vegetables might have to speak when people want to hear. If I were the vegetable, I would just keep it a secret.

What would happen if vegitables could talk
If vegetables could talk, it would be very funny. It would be impossible to eat vegetables or we might have to eat only vegetables. If we talk to vegetables, our life might change a lot. I am going to imagine what would happen if they could talk.
Whenever we ate vegetables, they would stare at us. They could make a problem in our stomach. They might plot in our stomach because they could speak each other. If they have a bad intensions, they could get angry at us like and make digestion problems. We would have to be careful with vegetables.
Our food style also would change. They would put the meat away to far then occupy our table. We may have to get our protein from other food like tofu not from any meat whatsoever. Even though we want to eat meat, we may not find it anywhere.
On the contrary, I think we can be more familiar with vegetables than meat or something like that. We would understand how vegetables feel. In talking with vegetables, we might realize better than before that vegetables are more healthy food than other foods. We would have to change our menu.
We would be friends with vegetables. Whenever we are boring we may talk with vegetables. Sometimes they might comfort us and give an advice and also it is possible to fall in love with them.
Can you believe this? We can communicate perfectly only with human beings. It is intersting thing. All people might know about this fact but in my case, I had never thought about this happening that would happened. Apparently if vegetables could talk, it may make many problems in our life.
I thank God who makes the world perfectly.

I've never thought about that vegetables could talk . It makes me very interesting .
We always have many kinds of vegetables for our meal and also nowadays people wants to have vegetables insted of meat for their health and we can meet many vegetarians easily . Besides , Some people said they can talk with their vegetables or flower like plant. They think vegetables can understand what they say and also vegetables can feel love so, I emagine that there were vegetables who can talk.
There was a carrot who could speak. His name was Joy and He was only 1year old and he lived on the ground out side of the country. He lived with parents. There were a lot of neighbors around him . Lettece's family, Onion's family and so on. He got along with them each other. He was used to tanning his body but he didn't used to drinking water enough . However, his mother always said to him that he had to drink water enough because she wanted that he became the most fresh and popular vegetables in the world.
One day , Joy heard the story about his grandfather from his mother. She said that his grand father was the most fresh and delicious carrot in the ground so he was sold to one woman who had 2 children. As soon as he was sold to that woman , he was very proud of himself. However, The woman's children hated him because they didn't like to eat vegetable like carrot. Unfortunately, when the children had dinner, his grand father was thrown away into the garbage. He passed away sadly. After Joy heard that story, he was shocked and depressed also he was very worried about his future so he stopped to learn how to make his body more freshly and stopped to drink water too and he shamed that he is vegetables.
When Joy lose his confidence, he met a new friend on his way home. He introduced himself . He said that he is meat. He've never met a friend like meat. He was not vegetables like Joy.
He looked so strong and delicious so Joy talked about his story and worries to him. He said that people don't like to eat meat nowadays because they don't want to eat meat because of fat.
He watnted to be fresh begetables like Joy. It was very surprising story to Joy. He decided that he will become vegetables who is the most fresh and delicioius. He tried to drink water enough and tanned his body again. Finally, Joy sold to one man and he could move to the big market in the city. He was displayed the vegetables section. When people wanted to buy vegetables he tried to talk with people. He introduced by himself and also he said his good point for their health. Finally, Joy sold a woman who has children . Joy dreamed come true and he became the most famous and fresh carrot .
If vegetables could talk , we can talk with them . Then we can choose fresh vegetables easily but It means that vegetables talk that they can think and feel. I think if vegetables can talk, we'll never eat vegetables anymore.

What Would Happen If Vegetables Could Talk
If vegetable could talk it would be very cool and funny. We might have vegetables that are edible and we may have vegetable pets.
Ppeople who don't like pet because of cleaning their excrement, then it would be a good news for them. If vegetable could talk, I think vegetable pets would come in in the world. We will probably dress up our lovely pets, moreover we may have a place like a kennel and also give a nickname for them.
I wish if I go to supermarket, vegetables would tell me how nutritious they have and people would eat more healthy. After I shopping I wish they could go toward fridge in order ,also before I cooking, I wish they could wash themself such like taking a bath and we could chat a lot while I prepare dinner. After that I would drop a miraculous medicine on them because of leniency and no howling. Eventually we would have a healthful and happiness meal without guilt.
If vegetable could talk, people's life would get more interesting and plentiful. I wish it would come ture oneday because I am the one who like pet but don't like cleaning their poo.

What would happen if vegetables could talk
People will often imagine something very interesting. Take a look around, if you find someone who is laughing without any reason, maybe he is daydreaming. Through the imagination, if you see something from a different point of view, you can get fun and new idea from that imagination.
My homestay host is from Colombia. Now, she is raising a coffee tree in the house. She do her best to take care her coffee tree. Everyday she water and control the temperature for that tree. She say that she can talk with her tree. She said she can understand what tree say such as what the coffee tree need, or when the coffee tree bear fruit.
Now I imagine something fun. Like my homestay host's coffee tree, if vegetable could talk, what would happen? Good things? Bad things? What would happen?
I guess, people could make many friends. Try to imagine! If you wake up in the morning, your vegetable friends will say good morning. You can talk with vegetable when you are bored. Even if you take care of your vegetable friends, you will receive some fresh vegetable for present.
The number of vegetarian will decrease and vegetable conservationists who are against eating vegetable will increase. They will ask that how can you eat salad which ask you to spare their life.
You could see some vegetable which work in the telemarketing company. Isn't it fun?
Of course we don't know what would happen if vegetables could talk. However, through the imagination, you could feel another world.

What would happen if water in the ocean increased by 10 meters
Global warming is now a serious problem all over the world. You can find articles about global warming in the newspaper everyday. In Toronto, we can even feel that the weather is getting warmer every year. I feel happy because of the warm weather but it's not an enjoyable thing at all if you think about the sea level areas.
For many years, icebergs have been melting because of global warming and it has been causing a lot of problems. First, we're losing lots of parts of the Earth. The increased water of the ocean would occupy the lower parts of the land. Experts say that we will lose Maldive Islands in a few years. People will lose their homes and their countries.
Second, increased water also would decrease wetlands and it would cause a big problem to an ecosystem. The wetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. If the wetlands disappear, some animals will not be able to find places to live in and some others will lose their places to hunt. The ecosystem doesn't suddenly appear overnight, so we should be careful not to break it.
You can't bring it back if the Earth goes wrong. We have to be sensitive about the changes in our planet. Newspapers and environmentalists are going on warning. We should listen to them. It's our home, our planet! We're responsible for what we've done to our planet.

What would happen if vegetables could talk
First I thought it would be good for the vegetable store if vegetables could talk because Halloween is coming. If a pumpkin could talk, it would be very nice for a Halloween party.
What would happen if vegetables could talk? I think would be very convenient because people except for vegetarians who eat vegetables in their daily lives. How would it be convenient?
These are some possibility if vegetables could talk. They'll teach us good nutrition about vegetables. They would tell us how much vitamin C and carotene they have. They'll tell us their friends missing in fridge. They 'll warn us in fridge conditions.Something like that.
It's very nice if they could talk! However I hope they don't have their heart, because if they have their mind, we couldn't eat them. Maybe they'll say that they want live longer.
The worst thing is that if they teach us how to eat vegetables combination, it's good, but if they could teach us about vegetables nutrition, they would be more intelligent than me.

A Person Who I Admire
If you asked me about most important thing that is in my life, I can give you an answer that is my family without hesitation. As you love your family, I love my family too. I am usually cared to my family as much as it is impossible to return it. There is a person who taught me love. He is my favorite person and a person who I admire. I would like to tell about him to you through this story.
He is my father. His name is Dong Hee Kim. He has a family of five included me and him. Two years ago, we are six. I had a grand mother. She was really familiar and healthy person. She used to hang out with her friends, and she would make delicious food for me and our family.
One day of two years ago, she suddenly went down with cerebral arteriosclerosis. She was moved to hospital, and cured for six month, but she couldn't stand up. My father worried about her statement. He had had a job when my grand mother was sick. He was so busy because of his job, but he used to make a time to care his mother.
After working, he always went to hospital, and looked after his mother. He used to spend time with his mother until she sleep. He would always help his mother to eat some food, and would help her to lay and to do exercise.
I could feel how he loves his family. It made a great impression on me.
An older person I admire...
I admire my father. He is 56 years old. He lives in Seoul, Korea. He lives with wife, one son and one daughter. He was a gymnasium teacher. He is a vice-president in the Bang-bae middle school now. He likes competition. He is used to play many kinds of sports. In addition, after he gets up early, he is used to going climbing mountain.
When my grandmother died, she said to my father that should be the principal in the school. He has been endeavoring to keep the promise. A few years ago, he was to be a vice-president in the school. I think he will do that his dream comes true soon.
Whatever it happen, he must keep a routine. He think it is a promise with himself. So when I am in trouble, he tells me not to give and or change my desired goal. His words can always give a courage to me. Therefore he is the best person that I admire.

When I came back from school, it was evening, we went to the sea. I don't know now why I wanted to go to the sea at the time, but my father took me the sea in spite of my sudden request.We saw very beautiful sunset. I never forget the view. Well, I almost forget what we did, but we usually would catch beach crabs.There are many crab's hole in the beach.So we would look for the hole and dig the hole,but when I was child my arms were short,so my father would dig deeply instead of me.
I like animals like father. I usually would find cats however my mother doesn't like it.At the time, my father used to be my supporter.It doesn't cange now,so I have two pets ,dog and cat.
Sometimes we quarrel.Sometimes I really hate him,but I love him.

I know a person whom I admire. Her name is Jungrye Jang. She was my high school home - subject teacher. Now she is over 55 years old and she lives in Seoul, S. Korea. She lost her husband when I was 3rd grade in high school so she has one son and daughter.
She always looks very strong. I mean, even though she lost her husband, she was not disappointed, she was not gloomy. She overcame all her situation. And also she always shows us a real posture of teacher. She was very passionate and convinced.
She was always reading a bible whenever I saw her in break time. Maybe that is her hobby. She looked serene for me. Whenever I had some problem, she always listen closely to my saying and gave me an advice and a councel. It was really helped me to cheer up. She always gave something to other people. Not only a money like something material that we can see but also any kinds of help like serving. Still until now it has impressed me a lot so I'm also trying to serve others.
One day, around 2 years ago, with my high school friends and teacher, we went to her cottage in the country. We had a really nice time in their. We talked a lot together and share many things. Maybe their is her favorit place to visit. She said that she usually goes their to rest.
I can't forget her. She has really impressed me. We often keep in touch each other by internet or telephone. I thank her serving to me. I want to be a person like her. I love her, my forever teacher.

An older person I remember.
I remember it was when I was a little girl that I met him. There used to be a place where the old could spend their day time in my town. It was a kind of shelter for the old. They would talk to each other, drink tea and do small works like making dolls in there. I used to go there because one of the old in there had opened a Chinese characters class with small payment. When I was 10 years old, my mother sent me there to learn Chinese characters and I met him for the first time.
He had been a teacher. He was quite old like around 70 years old. When he stepped in the class on the first day of the class, he totally dressed up and looked so neat but he grabbed a long switch which made me get so frustrating. However, He was so friendly and kind to his students. He taught me not only Chinese characters but also many things. He would tell us many stories. I could learn a lot about how to respect my parents, family, teachers, the older and my friends. I also could be taught wisdom of life from him.
I really respected him and I used to like the way he enjoyed his life. He was always passionated about everything not only teaching. He would sing a Sijo which is Korean ode in the past. Even though he was over 70 years old, he would go climbing. He would love to enjoy nature. I was kind of a teacher pet. I would clean up my class room and the black board before the class started and I remember I was really happy when he stroked my head as praise. Somehow I do not keep in touch with him anymore but I still remember him and respect him. I hope he is healthy and sound.

An older person I admire...
I admired Seu Jin Kyu who used to be a U.S army.
3 years ago, I read her autobiography and I admired her life story.
Twenty years ago, she worked for a wig factory because she was very poor. Suddenly, she decided to go to America to study. The moment she made her new plan, everyone ridiculed her dream and egnored her plan because living in other countries was not common at that time but she went to America to study.
As soon as she arrived America, there were many difficulties. She had no money and she couldn't speak English either. However she wasn't flustrate and would always keep smile on her face. She went to school and worked day and night and she met a guy and fell in love with him. She got married to him but her marriage life was not happy. Even they had a young daughter, her husband abused her so she had to get divorced with him.
After she got divorced, she enlisted in the army to forget about her marrige life. However, she got into difficulties again because of English but she never gave up and studied English day and night. Also, she trained physically by herself when she was in an army service. Finally she could promote as a U.S military officer. It was the first time that a Korean woman became a U.S military officer.
And then, she planed for her future again. She wanted to go to Harvard University. She studied very hard tried and tried. As a result of her efforts, she entered Harvard when she was 36 years old. Finally she dreamed come true.
Why I was admired her, even she is a woman, she has strong passion and patience. She would never give up whatever she started and although she had a lot of difficulties in her life divorce, language problem and poverty, she was very optimistic and she used to try to study and ended up dreamed come true. After I read her autobiography, I reflected on myself about my laziness also I thought my goal and I wanted to be like her. Dream is very important in our life. Dream makes me happy and proud of myself. I'll study very hard and I'll do my best like her.

The oldest person I know
I'll tell you about the oldest person I've ever met. Her name is Jisoon Park. She is 95 years old. She is still healthy although she's pretty old. She lives in Nam-won, Korea. She was 93 when I met her. She is the oldest woman in her village.
I think she'd never got any education because it was not common for a woman to go to school at that time. She was a tenant farmer. She used to get up before sunrise and go to bed late at night. She would go to neighborhood to get food because it was always insufficient in her house. She did part time job when work of farming was not busy. She used to knit for money.
She had to support her family because her poor husband died early. She had to get used to working hard. That's why she advised me to marry a rich guy. Anyway, she lives alone now even though she has 4 children. She doesn't look to her children for help. I think she's a strong woman. If you meet her, you will feel like that too.
