Study Log
1. I tried to read news paper because there are lots of vocabulary, so I tried to find the meaning of vocabulary. It was helpful to understand article, and I keep repeat some other works too.
2. I learned write better topic sentence and support detail. It’s hard to write better than before but I think most important point is development.
3. Lately, I’m working on the pronounciation, becuase it’s bothering me when I speak with American people, I feel like they can’t understand clearly what I’m saying.
4. I will just keep ask you what I don’t understand, I think it’s very helpful to me.
Stop sign ahead for texting while driving?
President Obama have plan to determined to stop texting while driving. The reason why he started this campaign is because it’s too dangerous,and Robert Menendez said said “it’s like driving with your eyes closed.” Nearly “6,000 people were killed and a half-million were injured last year.” However, eighteen sates passed law for texting while driving and seven states have banned talking with phone while driving or texting.Unfortunately, in 2004 12years old kid killed “when a driver using a cell phone ran a red light”. I guess people should not texting while they driving, and usually people think that it’s not dangerous,but I think it is dangerous because people don’t have mutiltasking ability. I think it’s common sense that focus on drive, but many people use to drive, so people just ignored their safe. Some people just drive without put on the seat belt. In my opinion U.S government should make more strict for drving law, so people who texting or talking on the phone while driving have to get suspend few month.
I guess most people have experienced for work. In my case I’m not working now, however, I used to work in H-Mart only for event. It was my first time to work in my life, but this event was only 3days. The work time was 9:00am through 8:00pm, so I worked for 10hours. At first day, I cooked dumpling, at that time I was really excited, because it was my first time for cook food, and also I can eat it, but think about it, I have to cook dumpling for 10 hours. After that day, I never ate dumpling, even now, I don’t want to look at it, so basically I couldn’t used to cook dumpling. The second day was pretty easy for me, because my job was packing up customer’s foods. After few hours I used to it, so I was relaxed even though I was getting tired for standing around 10 hours. It’s much better than cooking dumpling, so I was thankful to be working pack up. Last day was really fun, because me and other two guys were made for magic balloon. We were learning from balloon master and after I master that I made everything like dog, sword, hat, flower, human and so on, it was really fun. Many people were ask me for poodle, so I made for them free. It was pretty easy for me so time goes so fast at that day. In conclusion, I couldn’t used to cook dumpling but I used to made magic balloon and pack up.

“Mexico senators confirm new point man in drug war”
This article is about in Mexico prosecutor couldn’t solve the problem of crime, on thursday “Mexico’s attorney general and leader of the nation’s war on vicious drug cartels”. Actually, Mexico police didn’t do anything they didn’t protect people who get killed by gangsters,because I guess they are afraid of gangsters. Sadly,there are more than 1,600 homicides this year in Mexico. Also there are more than 13,500 people are gangsters,so many people get scare to go outside.The gangsters are more violence now because since president Felipe Calderon was offensive against cartels.After that the gangsters were going to be crazy. They still figure it out what they should do. I know that it’s hard to solve the problems. In my opinion guns and drugs are most serious problem in Mexico,because drugs give effect to people do crime. I don’t know why they are keep doing drugs and I heard that it doesn’t make you feel good, it just make people to see a false image and it ruin human brain. When I read these kind of news I’m thinking about my past time, because when I was little kid, I thought whole world was beautiful and peaceful, but when I grow up I realized one thing, you should survive in this world and your life. Lastly, I think it’s hard to expect peaceful world until I die.

A person I Admire
I admire a lot of people who fought for their country. However, one of my most admire person is Yu Gwan Sun, who sacrificed and fought for Independence of Korea. I don’t really know about her a lot but I know what she did for Korea. The reason why I admire her is because she was really brave woman and she had awfully powerful passion for patriotic sentiment. Even though, she received harsh beatings and torture, she didn’t afraid of death, so she keep fought with japanese police untill she died. I’m not sure why she decided most dangerous and painful life, nevertheless, she show us her love of Korea. She lived in jail for 7 years, during in prison she kept shouting about independence of Korea. Surprise thing is she died when she was 18,so I guess she was a mature girl nonetheless she was young. She couldn’t have live for her life she just fought for her country. This is really sad story that only 18years old girl received beating and torture for a nation. In conclusion, I learned really important things from her which is powerful passion and dauntless. I know that it’s really hard to train to have adamant heart, but I will keep try hard for my life.

Other thing is listen to Npr news or Wtop news, but it still hard for me, however, I just tried to focus on the main topic, eventhough I couldn’t get the rest of it, nevertheless I tried to catch the main topic.
2. I think most important thing to learn is Grammar, so I tried to learn grammar more. Some part of grammar is really hard for me but I realized that grammar is really important to English,so I studied over and over again on my grammar test, eventhough I disappointed with my test score, but the test was helpful to improve my English skill.

“Swine flu concerns close schools in Mexican city”(Reading Journal)
This article is about in Mexican city 1,400 schools closed because of “Swine flu”. The education secretary says 19 students showing symptoms so they have tested for swine flu and they are wating the results. Also sadly other 50 students have respiratory problems at 80 schools. The officials “decision to cacel all primary,secondary and university classes in Culiacan.” They are trying to figure it out when they sould open the schools. Of course that they don’t want to shutdown of schools but they have to because this virus can move to other people. I heard that the Swine flu is similar as common cold.However, Swine flu is more stronger virus and more than 3000 people died because of this extreme virus. After I know about Swine flu I always wash my hand and when I have to cough I always cover with my arm. I know that this is basic manner but still I think people should be careful about this, because some people cough without cover their mouth. I really hate people who don’t cover their mouth I really want to say to them “don’t act like a baby!!”. I think when we observe the basic manners we can protect ourself from the virus. Lastly, in my opinion this is kind of disaster by God because many people died in these days. I know that people die somedays but this is terrible death. Don’t you think so?

Paragraph#3
Money
Everyone knows that money is important for human’s life and they definitely agree with that. However, what I’m trying say is does money makes you happy? actually I’m disagree with that, because money and happiness is big different. I know that money can make you feel good but it doesn’t that it’s your happiness. What I mean is it makes your desire bigger because human’s desire is none stop. For instance, one of my friend’s parents was really rich. Especially his dad has nice cars, five houses, wonderful buildings, but the thing is he doesn’t feel any happy. He always wanted to make more money, so he always gets nervous and lots of pressure. What I want to know is what makes him stressful it is probably he is CEO in his company and his decision is really important to his workers and company.
