Ode

 I realized the importance of cellphone by living separately with my parents. I also dropped my cellphone a lot. So, I will write ode about my cellphone.

Dear cellphone

O, cellphone, at first meeting of you and I, I couldn't sleep.
I wanted to play with you for whole days.
It took lots of time to persuade my parents to buy you.
You were always in my hand at the first meeting.
I wanted to take pictures, make a phone call with you

O, cellphone, do you remember that day?
I dropped you 3 months later that I bought you.
Your face became messy and scratched.
From that day, I didn't give you love anymore.
I begged my mom to buy new cellphone.

O, cellphone, I feel sorry about my faults.
I realized that you played a important role in my life.
I could communicate with my families, friends and teachers thanks to you
It would be difficult to live without you!
Thank you very much and I appreciate your sacrifice.

O, cellphone, I promise I will give you love and care
I will not let you feel lonely by playing with you.
I will not let you feel hurt by not dropping you.
I appreciate you very much!

Highrise


   I visited the site named, 'Highrise'. There were lots of people and countries in the site such as America, Taiwan, Brazil. Also, I could see some videos and learn about those countries. I had to search about John who lives in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa.
   Republic of South Africa is the most wealthy country in Africa. Also, 2010 World Cup was held in that country. However, I didn't have any idea about the country. I thought that they don't have enough technologies, powers and weapons. I just thought that they live in streets. After I visited the site, I realized that they also live in apartment or buildings. I also felt sorry for them because I ignored them.
   Similarly from Korea, I figured out that they have high rate of cirmes. This is what one of the videos say,
"People used to throw objects, like cupboards, out the windows. People used to throw themselves out the windows to commit suicide. Thugs terrorized everyone and stole all their belongings. There was an incident when a human eye was found on the ground in that lane down there. Another terrible story is when we were renovating the lifts. Part of a person's skull was found when we were cleaning the lifts shafts. Before eKhaya took over there were lanes going through Hillbrow where people were mugged and raped. " I was frightened and shocked by this! In addition, I felt gloomy due to people who commit suicide. I know that Korea is the first country of commit suicide because of stress, burden or the other things. However, I didn't know that South Africans also commit suicide and crime. I thought that they are always happy and satisfied easily. Fortunately, I found that there is a residential improvement program named, eKhaya which John works with.  The word eKhaya means at home and 90% of buildings eKhaya has recovered are safe now. Moreover, because of this, crime levels have dropped and these days it is rare to hear someone tell you that they've been robbed.The thugs have given up because of better security! I wondered that if there were same program in Korea, it would be save and rescue many people. I deplored myself because of lack of these programs in Korea. I thought that we need and require some programs for security programs such as eKhaya.
    I also surprised at the building called, Hijacked building. In that building, the tenants don't pay rent.
A hijacked building is whereby sometimes there's no owner. Sometimes we find that they kill the owner of the building. They move inside. They come to the building hold a meeting with tenants and they  give you the new accounts they are going to reduce rent. So afterwards people start to pay to the new account of the hijacker.The hijackers, their main important thing is to collect money.They don't maintain the buildings, Most of the hijacked buildings don't have lifts because lifts need maintenance. And they are not paying to the water accounts to the city of Johannesburg. They're just taking money to their pockets. So if you're still there after 6 months you'll find that they've cut off lights, cut off water. After people stop paying because they're not getting service from those hijackers. If someone refuge to pay, the next day he will find the person who refused to pay has passed away. They don't fear to shoot a person. If someone refuge to pay, they kill him.
Isn't it so wierd and strange to live in that building? I couldn't understand the people who live in the building which is very scary and fearful. On the other hand, I felt so pity of them who had to live in there because of poverty. I wanted to donated for them.
     Lastly, I figured that churches play a big role in that society because when schools are closed that's where kids go. They  hold their community meetings there and if they live around here and they have an event you can rent the space. Also, they use it as a space to change the bad habits of the community
like teaching people to not throw things and rubbish out their windows. I think it is similar to Korea. I think churches in Korea work hard for community such as volunteering, educating and renting places to meet.
         It was quite interesting to learn about other country. I also realized that there can be many similar or different things. I think we can get lots of lessons from other countries by learing them. So I recommend you to visit http://interactive.nfb.ca/#/outmywindow when you want to learn about other countries.

Our Class Project

Our Class Project



This year our class is doing a special science project. We have a(n) rabbit that we are taking care of. It is very shine and it has aqua eyes. It lives in a(n) key in the back of our classroom. We feed it pizza and roses every day, but I think it really wants to eat my cellphone. Everyone likes our rabbit.
One day, the rabbit got out of its cage and started eating all around the room. It made a loud Hey. I think it was trying to say, “Wowowow!”

3rd person narrative

Secret in GLPS 


 Don't tell this story to anybody! It's a top secret. If you reveal this secret, you will get problems in your life. This secret has strong power that make KLMA destroy. Before you hear the secret, you have to promise not to reveal this.  Then, let's go back to 1996 when KMLA established.

 Once upon a time, there was a smart and quiet student named, In Sun. Even though he was very smart and clever, he didn't have money to afford schools. He just graduated middle school in Seoul. He felt gloomy and sad about his poor life. He complained about his poverty to his parents. So he ran away from his house and tried to earn money for attending schools. However, it was very difficult to find jobs. He wanted to go back to his house with starvation, but he couldn't because he really wanted to attend high school!
 One morning, he woke up in the subway station and then found that something is different from yesterday. It was too silent even though it was starting time. He was so curious about it. Eventually, he figured out that people in the world were all gone. He got fear and was affraid. He also discovered a message from the principal. [You are the only one who can solve KMLA's curse. Please come to KMLA until 3 o'clock. ]
He was very puzzled and perplexed. He didn't know about KMLA anything!
 "Where is KMLA?" he mumbled.
 'Go to Kangwondo. Then you can find KMLA'
 He hesitated to go but he felt like someone forced to bring him. When he arrived at KLMA, he was shocked and frightened very much. It was burning. He had to extinguish fire. After he extinguish it, the building began to rebuild by itself! Then, the principal came out and said, "In Sun, thank you very much. I'm principal of KMLA. I really appreciate your efforts. Actually, this school had a curse because there were lots of geniuses. However, you solved our curse so I will allow you to come this school."
 In Sun was very happy to hear that and he became one of the KLMA students.

I'm sorry for vanity story. I was in lack of thinking. ^^

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring




     In the writting class, I watched the film named, 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring'. Actually, it was not exciting or thrilling as the other films such as Harry Potter or Transformer. However, I enjoyed it very much becuase of its touching messages.
     To sum up the story of the movie, there were 2 main characters who are living in the deep forest. A boy played with a fish, a frog and a snack. He made fun of them by tying with stones. Since he mocked them. the master got angry. He fastened a boy as same as a boy did. In the morning,a boy realized that he did bad behaviors to them. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret becuase the fish and the snake died just because of him. In the last scene of the film, he bursted into tears.
     I'm sure that most students feel shameful after watching it. I also felt disgraceful. I think the movie gives us some lessons and I think that is why the teacher was trying to show this film to us.
     First of all, it gives us a message that love animals. In fact, I hate any kind of animals, especially insects. When I see bugs, I always try to kill them to make them extinct. Now, I realized my behaviors were so cruel that animals really hate. I also determined not to kill or to bully them.
     Secondly, it tries to say "Don't disregard small things". I think he teased them becuase he ignored their life. I'm certain that if they were people like him, he would not play with them. So I learned, even though it's very tiny and small, it has its feelings and life. I decided to respect them.
     Lastly, I thought when I do something bad, it can return to me in anytime and anywhere. I mean, jut like a boy experienced, we have to be aware of your bad things. You can pay back of your faults. It will be too late to feel sorry about your mistakes.
     I really want to apologize about my bad behaviors on animals or some friends. Although it will be difficult to say okay, I hope they forgive me and forget what I did before.
