The Interpreter

I enjoyed the book "The Interpreter". Originally, I prefer to watch a movie than read a book, so first I had watched the movie before I have read the book, and I realized for reading the book that is more interesting than the movie and I expected. I had been concentrating for reading. Especially, the story which Silvia met Kuman-Kuman in the bus is very interesting for me. Of course my favorite character is Silvia. Whatever, I would like to recommend this book for other ESL students. If you don't like to read a book, you may watch this movie.

My favorite video game


When I was a child, I liked the FIFA games. Actually, I've always liked them. Maybe I have enjoyed FIFA since the company called EA sports released it in 1997. It is soccer game, and the company release new version's soccer game every year. I can enjoy it, not only on the computer but also with people who I don't know or with my friends. it is so exciting! Also, it helps to learn how to play soccer. Actually, I like all games of soccer such as Wining Eleven and Foot manager. I'm good at soccer game, and confident in soccer game!

My favorite season

In Korea, we have 4 seasons which are spring, summer, fall, and winter.
My favorite season is fall; also, I like spring. There are many reasons. First, the weather is almost really nice, it's not too cold or hot. During the summer, I hope that the summer would pass quickly because Korea's climate in the summer is terrible to me, but in the fall, I can see beautiful view of mountains, and the sky is blue and the wind is so cool. I feel great! Another reason, why I like fall of all the seasons. If spring comes, summer will come soon. This is why I like fall better than spring. I really didn't like summer when I was in Korea.

My favorite way to travel.

I liked to get on a train when I traveled before I have a driver license, but now, I like to drive a car when I travel.  There are some advantages as follow. First of all, we don't need to wait for trains or buses, and we don't have to transfer. Sometimes, when we travel, we rush to get on a public transportation, and we waste a lot of time waiting for it. I don't like it. In addition, I often suffer from carsickness. Second, we can go anyplace, and we can keep our heavy bags in the car. The heavy bags are hard to travel freely. Also, we can enjoy traveling to talk loudly. However, There are some disadvantages too as follow. First, driving a car is more expensive than get on a public transportation because oil price in Korea is much more expensive than USA or Canada. Second, a car driver must not drink alcohol before he drive a car. Although, driving a car when I travel has some disadvantages, I prefer it.

Welcome to Canada

Hi, Jaekyoung. I heard that you are coming to Calgary on Sunday. I hope that you arrived here safely, 
so I would like to advice to you. First, you should bring cigarette, if you are smoker because It is much 
expensive and stronger than Korea. Also, you need to bring Korean noodles for me. I always want to 
eat it after I drink. Of course, you should bring winter jumper, here is very cold. Second, you shouldn't 
drink anywhere. For example, if you are outside of home or pub, you must not drink. It is illegal in
Canada, and you can't smoke in any building. Third, you should go Calgary tower and Banff. I think that
they are famous places In Calgary. Finally, you should buy some gift for me, because I will take care of 
you in Canada. See you soon. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Crime

I think that Calgary is one of the safest cities in the world. Calgary is a very safe place for

foreigners to live. So, I'm not sure which one is safer between Calgary and Seoul,

because Seoul is one of the safest cites too. In Seoul, We can go around until late at

night in safety. But, it's not completely safe. There are crimes anywhere.

From crimes to protect myself, we should not be drunk alone, and we have to be careful

of strangers when you walk alone at night. Everyone doesn't want to be a victim.

I want to at least disappear Violent Crimes

My favorite sport!

My favorite sport is soccer. I like to play soccer, and I like watching soccer games. My favorite team is

Real Mardrid because C.Ronaldo plays for them. Also, I like Jisung Park who plays for Q.P.R.

When he belonged to Manchester United, I enjoyed their game. Recently, his perfomance is poor, but

I believe that he is the best soccer player in Asia, and he can do well again.

The most recent game which I wactched that is the match between Real Mardrid and Manchester United.

The match result was 1 to 1. It was fantastic game! Someday, I want to see Real Mardrid's game directly to their stadium..

I won $10 million in the lottery!

Someday, I will win $10 million in the lottery! If I win in the lottery, first, I would donate at

least 10 percent for the poor neighbors because I won it with my good luck, so I think that

it's not my money, I have to help them. Second, I would give my parents and sister at

least 30 percent. And then, I would buy something such as sports car, clothes, a watch,

shoes, and so on. Lastly, I would put the money in a high interest account. Of course, I

would change my phone number. Also, I would still work. I wouldn't change anything about my life.

City and Country: I like Seoul

Do you know Korea? Have you ever been to Korea? Seoul is the capital city of South

Korea. Seoul is the most beautiful place in Korea. There are many reasons why I

recommend it. First, Seoul has many things for travel. If you want to see about Korean

traditional culture, you can go to Insadong. If you like to see night view, you can go to

NSeoul Tower. It is the same as Calgary Tower. Also, There are a lot of good place such

as Coax, 63City, Kyongbok palace, and so on. Second, Seoul is safer than other

countries or cities. If you need help, most Korean people will help you. In addition, you

can go around until late at night. In conclusion, if you come to Korea, you have to visit


Seoul. Please, contact me when you get Seoul. Bye.
