I left my home one year ago. I first went to Singapore
and then I came to Canada. This has given me time for personal reflection. When
I was in Korea, I didn’t have to think about myself because Korean schools
usually don’t ask us to do personal reflection exercises. However, I have
learned that personal reflection is challenging for me because Canadian schools
ask us about feelings. I have seen that Canadians have healthy
lifestyles. They eat raw vegetables frequently and Canadians play sports often.
However, Korean kids like instant food and they have less free time to play
sports because they have to study a lot.
Before I came to Canada, I thought Victoria
would be like New York City. When I arrived here I disappointed little bit
about down town. There are no tall buildings. Victoria doesn’t even look like
city.
I like Victoria’s weather because it is not
very cold or hot, but I don’t like the rain fall often. I like the school, but I
frustrated by all of the scheduled physical activity at school because I don’t
like sports and I’m not good at it.
My father is a doctor and was born on 24 August 1964. He has two brothers and two sisters. His father was a principal and his brothers and sisters are also teachers. When my father was a university student he wanted to major in biochemistry, but his father and his brothers wanted him to be a doctor, so he majored in biology. After university he wanted to be a internist, but he was terribly wounded in his leg. He had to have surgery and he lost his chance to be a physician, so he became a Paediatrician.
I respect my father because he works hard at his job for his family even though that is not what he wanted to be.
I admire his qualities of being hard-working and taking care of his responsibility and his family.
Rick Riordan was raised in Texas. He
graduated from the University of Texas Austin in 1986 and specialized in
English and social studies. He published his first book in the Percy Jackson
series in 2005 and has continued to write about mythology and mysteries.
I like Rick Riordan because I read his Percy Jackson
series and I loved it.
Three qualities that I admire most about him are that he is successful,
hard-working, and imaginative.
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Scotland and died on 7 July 1930 in England. His father was an alcoholic and the family separated for a while due to the alcoholism. Even though he had lots of problems, he went to medical school and became a doctor and research scientist. Also, he wrote Sherlock Holmes and had a successful writing career. In addition to all of this, he wrote about international war and defended his country's political position.
Arthur Conan Doyle was resilient, talented, and patriotic. I like him because he had strong opinions.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching “The
Avengers” in a theatre full of heroes
and dreamers. Below is my review of the movie.
A mysterious tone is set when the International peacekeeping
organization, the S.H.I.E.L.D, responds to a terrorist threat. Loki is
responsible for this threat when he takes over an energy cube in the possession
of S.H.I.E.L.D. He also invades the minds of a few S.H.I.E.L.D agents for the
purpose of learning how to use the cube. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury,
unites a team of super heroes to catch Loki and regain the cube. The elite team
of heroes includes Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Steve
Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner, a.k.a. The Hulk
(Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow
(Scarlett Johansson), and Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).
I laughed throughout the movie, mainly because of
Robert Downey Jr.’s funny performance. Even though I am a movie critic, I
cannot say any bad things about the great cast.
I liked the humorous actions of the super heroes. The
perfect example occurs when Thor kidnaps Loki and he is trying to talk with
him; however, Iron Man rudely interrupts them without understanding Thor’s good
intentions.
My friends found the action to be boring, but I don’t
see how that is possible.
Loki always does bad things and he always has
bad things happen to him, so I think the moral of the movie is to stay out of trouble.
This movie is for everybody and the MPAA rating of the
movie is PG-13. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes heroes and action
but I wouldn’t recommend this to people who like romance. This movie is really
awesome!!!
I think this movie is really great, so I give it a
score of 9.5 out of 10.
Minkyu Lee is a 15 year old Korean and he is a secondary
school student. He doesn’t like to play sports but he likes to play electronic
games and watch American dramas.
Three years ago I loved Korean dramas
and hated all foreign dramas. Why? I don’t really know. Maybe I just loved my
country too much and was unable to say anything bad about Korean productions.
One day my older brother suggested that I watch the British drama “Doctor Who."
I was bored, so I found a season four episode
and watched it on my computer. I had never before seen a Science Fiction drama
and discovered that I was interested in that type of drama. Doctor Who opened
my mind up to other new foreign English language dramas. Ultimately, they make
me feel many different emotions: excitement, stress, and wonder. They make me
laugh and I always think about new things. Now, I’m crazy about specialty
foreign dramas!
