Then when I was in high school, I prepared for an examination for Art college.
It was so hard, I had to draw the whole day, even on summer and winter vacation.
I didn't pass the exam, so I tried again for the next year.

In what ways are they same?

city life is more convenient
there's too much traffic in the city
transportation is very fast.


when i was in the elemantary
i lived in the country.
i stayed there during my vacation in summer and winter‏

country life is more queit‏ and has fresh air‏.
fruits and vegetables are freshly picked eaten in the country‏

Q. How has the weather changed over the years? What do you think causes climate change?
How has it affected people's lives 

Korea has 4 seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter.
I think that it is very inconvenient.
Every season We change temperature. so I  should arrange my clothes.
In summer i wear short pants and sleeveless top, and thin cloth.
On the other hand, During winter, i wear heavy clothes like....,

Climate change is caused by revolution of the earth and Korea's location is in northern.
Summer season become longer than other season.
On the other hand, winter season has become shorter and colder, so people add to sleep. There is little sunshine and people just had to stay home and do less activity.

[OPIc] Live, Park, Restuarant

Live
I live in Ansan. My home is a small townhouse that is located near my elementary school.
In the house, my living room and kitchen are joined. So when my mom is in the kitchen
we can see her cooking from the living room. We have lived here since i was born for 26 years,
but when I went to the university I had to board and stay in Seoul. We have two rooms ,
one is my room , it has an electronic machine. i also have a lot of books in my shelf
as well as furnitures even if My room is just small, as much as possible , I want to live independently.

Park
I love to go to road parks during the spring and sit on the grassy lawns with a blanket spread
having a picnic with my friends. Along the park there is a subway station, Every day When I go to the station
I passed by the parks. Thesedays we can see cherry blossom trees. The park has a bike lane route,
sometimes I enjoy rideing a bicycle. Many parents often bring their children and pet to parks.
You see a lot of smiles and fun-loving people here. Being at the park give me a break from the hectic pace of the city. And I love it.

Restuarant
My favorite restaurant is called 'Our home' and it's a Korean home style cooking restaurant.
It specializes in pork bulgogi, which is Korean version chop steak.
It's not very spacious so it's always crowded with people during lunch time.
 It feels me with mother's cooking that keeps a regular customer. I 've also become familiar
with the family who owns the restaurant, who are really nice people.
