American Food.

Honestly, I never think what is the traditional American food. I think hamburger are the one of famous traditional American food, so if my friend ask me to go eating American food, it means going to hamburger restaurants such as MacDonald or Burger King. In addition, fan cakes and stakes are also the famous traditional American food, also.

I think American food is really similar with Europe countires' food because they also love to eat meat, beef, or bread. But I do not know why American people become more fat than Europe countries.

Moreover, American food is really salty than my counrty's food. Salty food also make american people to become obesities. These days, of course, Korean food culture accepts other countries' food, so we also love to eat American food because we live hatic lives and it is really convenient. However, in my country, we still think nutritions are more important than convenient, so we spend more time to cook. But in America, they like to eat fast food because it is really convienent for eating and they do not need to spend too much time for cooking or eating food. Even though they know fast food is not good for their healthy, they enjoy to eat that. I think Amercian food like drugs that I cannot quit if I try to eat one time.

I love to eat American food especially hamburgers, but I made a decision to reduce eating it after I watched movie called "Obesity in America" in last composition class.

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill

This quote means people who think about something positively can find every opportunity in every difficulty situation, but people who think about something negatively find the difficulty in every opportunity.

I agree with it because if I think some situations negatively, it always makes me nothing to do, so I always try to have good thinkings in my life. However, it is so difficult for me to make positive thinking. I don't know why. These days, I am so pessimistic because I don't pass the TOEFL yet. Taking TOEFL always makes me negatively. But since today, I want to change my thinking from pessimistic to optimistic. I can do it!!!

When I met my friends first time, we did not have any embrassment. I don't know how we became best friends. We just became best friends. As time goes by, my friends and I knew we have a lot of commons in personalities. We love to talk, eat, drink, or take a trip. Because we have a lot of commons, it is really easy for us to make decisions what we will do. However, if we have some problems, conflicts or fights about something, it is really hard for us to slove situations because it is difficult for us to sorry. I don't know why. But usually, when we turn round 1 or 2 minutes, we forget everything. We are so simple.

We have same blood types, so we cannot decide to go to some places for eating, talking, or spending time. Moreover, we have a same religion, so we can share our thinking, life, and problems. I think haveing a same religion is really good for us to become best friends because it help us to know each other really deeply. And we have a same major, also. Always we can help each other in music. It also makes us to become one.

"Friend is my second self." I love this sentence and I love my friends. I miss them so much.

Do you know a movie called "Stuart Little." This movie has silly story, but I love it because it show me to impossible things. Can you imagine that pet is possible to talk and have their own thinkings? This movie shows everything to us what would happen if animals could speak. They can play games, share thinkings, go shopping together.

If animals can talk with me, I want to ask how about their lives because I think their lives are sometimes really peaceful. They do not anything just sleep a whole day. So, if they can do everything a day, what they want to do? And how can they think about human?

Christina Aguilera - "Beautiful"

One of favorite songs is "Beautiful" that Christina Aguilera sang. This song has really good lyrics. even though, this lyrics was wrote about broken relationship with love, but also I can have a rosy message. My favorite part of lyrics is "Don't you bring me down today." When I listen to this song, I always make a lot of good decisions that I can do everything, anybody can't bring me down, and I am strong. I don't know when I listen to this song first, I think I listened to it in radio. These days, I still love listening to the song.

Korea has four seasons-spring, summer, fall, and winter. So, we can experience various kind of weather conditions. In spring, a lot of plants start to alive, so it is really beuatiful. In summer, we has heavy raining, so we can suffer serious problems by floods. However, summer also provide hot weather, so we can enjoy to swim in sea. In fall, a lot of areas has good landscapes. Every places are arts. In winter, we has heavy snow, so sometimes we can go out because of snow. But I really love snow. I love fall seasons because it is not hot and cold. I usually love California weather conditions to except summer season. Even though I love California weather, I want to go back Korea during winter season because I really want to see snow.

Test always makes me fearful, so I hate to take test. However, my life is series of test. I think I am always suffering body problems during test time because of too much fear or nervous. If I have a test tomorrow, I cannot sleep well. I am really senstive about everything. Also, during test time, I cannot concerntrate on my test because other people's test sounds bother me. I do not know why but I can hear a lot of sounds easier than my sounds. I am usually trying to overcome fear, but I cannot do that. Before test day, my mind has a firm determenation that I do not feel fear during test time, but I forget everything on the day. Next month, I will take a test again, but I feel fear now, even though test day is far from today. I hope I do not feel fear that day, pass the TOEFL, and overcome fear.
