wedding

In my country, many people wish to have a fancy and luxurious wedding ceremony in their lives. On the other hand, some want to have a humble one with only their family. I think the thing that makes the wedding is your visitors who celebrate your wedding with a true heart. I hope that on my wedding day, I have a great time with people who I love. I would like to have a wedding ceremony in my church with a blessing by people. I will do a favor to my friends to sing a special nuptial song for only us. We will worship god with the best gratitude as much as I can do in our first day as a couple. I also have a great plan for our honeymoon trip. The place is Hawaii where we have wanted to take a trip for a long time. In this place, we will never have a wonderful time we never forget. I think that Being together is the most important element among everything we can do.

A Fall Holiday in Korea

we have a fall holiday, Chu-seok, which is one of the biggest holidays in Korea. During
this holiday, all of the family members get together and make many kinds of traditional foods. Also, we play a traditional game, Yut,which is a kind of role-playing on the board. We make two teams, having for to five on each team, white and black stones and four sticks which are kinds of dice. According to the result of the sticks, the stones move forward. If one of the teams succeed all of their stones pass the finish spot, they are winners. We cook many kinds of traditional food in Chu-seok. My favorite food is Song-pyeon which is a kind of rice cake. Whenever I eat it, it reminds me of my grandmother who made the best Song-pyeon in the world. I love Cho-seok because I can enjoy playing a game and having many kinds of delicious foods with my lovely family.

Climate turns up heat on sea turtles

In Moises Velasquez-Manoff’s (2007) article, global warming causes the extinction of sea turtles. Global warming generates unbalanced gender in them. In addition, it causes the extinction of them. According to this article, most species of sea turtles are endangered by several reasons: habitat destruction, hunting, and climate change. Among them, the most important reason is climate change. So our societies and communities began to try to help them. They started moving eggs to proper places to live. However, this kind of help is not a fundamental solution. On the other hand, people eliminated plants around the beach to build houses and stabilized the beach with reinforcement materials. Human development destroys their ability to fit into new conditions. So, we should think about a harmonic relationship between people and turtles to live together.

It is apparent that global warming causes bad effects. So we should find a solution to protect ourselves from global warming, because it jeopardizes sea turtles.

First of all, we should stop building ceaseless new construction without thinking of environment. We have built new houses and roads, and constructions for our convenient lives. However, it caused an increase in beach temperature. Sea turtles have been threatened by climate change. We should find appropriate ways to live without intimidation of sea turtles. We should not destroy our environment through building new constructions.

Second, we should reinforce with the law to protect sea turtles. Our government should have a strict position against the activities that cause global warming, such as the construction with destroying environment. If they need stronger laws to protect sea turtles, they should not hesitate to create laws to punish people who threaten the existence of sea turtles.

Finally, we should educate all generations in the world about bad effects of global warming. Actually, many people in the world don’t realize how serious this problem is and aren't concerned about it. So all countries have a responsibility to give an instruction to all generations from school and Television. In addition, people who are educated have to study about that and find a solution to protect sea turtles.

In conclusion, we should concentrate more on our environment. It is significant to realize that we are connected to the environment. We can begin with a tiny effort from our house and the influence will spread to our city and the world. We should protect sea turtles from global warming.

My favorite band

My favorite band is the Beatles. they have been a legend in the music field. I first met them when I was a middle school student. I cannot forget the moment when I listened to the song, " Let it be" through the radio in my room. I like them because their songs have a special rhythm that makes people move. The story in their music is also great enough to love them. When they sing a song, they make a perfect harmony. I enjoy listening to their music when I am depressed or sad They also did not stop trying to make new songs. It was a great lesson for me in the age of puberty. They are my only band I still love.

Class: EAP2
Date: October 19, 2007

In Catherine Brahic’s (2007) article, global warming causes a reduction of loggerhead turtles in Florida. She thinks that this problem is serious for the society and the community. According to this article, global warming affects the balance of their gender. In addition, this unbalance of gender causes extermination of them. Global warming is generated by the construction of new roads and houses in Florida because the sand from the bottom of beach is much darker than general beach sand. It causes beach temperatures to increase. Also the unconcern about endangered loggerhead turtles is one of problems. If we more concerned about taking care of them, it might not be happened.

It is apparent that global warming causes bad effects to loggerhead turtles. So we have to find a solution to protect ourselves from global warming, because it threatens our environment and our lives.

First of all, we have to stop the ceaseless construction of new roads and houses. Because it causes increase of the beach temperature. We should make a law to limit the ceaseless development and use existed constructions. It helps loggerhead turtles to make a balance of male and female.

Second, we should concern about taking care of loggerhead turtles. All people in the world should realize how big this problem is and begin to take care of them. This view point supports them not to be threatened by global warming. We can provide them proper habits to live in. In addition, we can move them to adequate places to breed with a proper temperature.

Finally, our societies should study more about loggerhead turtles. We should learn accurate and professional information about them from the studying. So all of people in the world have to find a solution and attend to this movement through the studying. Government should invest the studying for accomplishing the successful result.
In conclusion, we should concentrate more on our environment. It is significant to realize that we are connected to the environment. We should protect loggerhead turtles from global effect.
