			<title>In Yangpeong (robert KIM) 5J</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">On Saturday, my friends and I were going to a pension in Yangpeong to play. It was total of 15 people, exactly three cars, and four people in each. It was exciting to go with my friends to a pension because we could play in the stream and play poker or Halli Galli all day. These friends were my best friends in Elementary School. We all went to different schools. Except for two, they went to the school all of us would of gone to if we did not move to another place. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><o:p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">&nbsp;</span></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>We always meet once a month, in one of our houses. Most of the times, we make fake money by paper, and play poker. It is really fun when they make you think they have a straight, full house, or a flush, but they actually do not have it. We bet about 100 won (fake) and give money to the dealer. I do not know why we give it to the dealer, I did it because my friends did it, but they think that the card the dealer gives will become better. I gave the dealer about 1000 won but I only won twice. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><o:p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">&nbsp;</span></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Another game we played was pillow fight. There were total of 7 kids playing, becase two did not play because they did not like getting hit. We divided by 4 and 5. My team always won. I requested for 1 to 6. It was me against everyone. We played this way 5 times, and I won all. The way I win is, do not be scared to be hit, it is just a pillow. However, my friends were all tired, so was I.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><o:p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">&nbsp;</span></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>In conclusion, although it was only one night, I made a lot of memories and would want to come here again with my friends.</span></span></span></p>]]></description>

			<title>Term-end Exam (Kelly Shin 5P)</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-family: verdana;">July 7th was the first day of a term-end exam of my school, and it ended on July 10th. Because of this big </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">exam, I had been absent for about two weeks to Lex Kim English School. in term-end exam, there were 12 </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">subjects which were Korean, math, social, science, Japanese, English,&nbsp;morality, music, Chinese letters, art and </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">more.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I prepared&nbsp;for this exam for&nbsp;three weeks at the library, I think it was pretty helpful for me because the </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">library was very&nbsp;quiet and everybody at the&nbsp;library was studying hard. I finished&nbsp;studying&nbsp;Korean, English on </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">the first day of preparing time,&nbsp;and I&nbsp;used a lot of time to study social and science to memorize them. The </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">hardest subject to study was Japanese. All I knew&nbsp;in Japanese was </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">only&nbsp;a few words, and I had to memorize </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Japanese letters and conversations.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the exam period,&nbsp;I could&nbsp;feel that everyone was panicking before the test.&nbsp;The very first subject </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">we were </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">having was math! I was very bad at math all the times, so I was really worried, and as&nbsp;I worried,&nbsp;I </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">spoiled&nbsp;math test. However, I think that I did good on art, Korean,&nbsp;science, and English.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On the last day of the exam, which was Friday, July 10th, I went to Coex mall with my friends to play!! We </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">went to singing room and took sticker photo. We only played for 3 hours because I had a math lesson. I was </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">really happy because this boring and sick exam was finally over! I hope I did great on this exam.</span></p>]]></description>

			<title>After test (Jane Kim, 5J)</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Two days ago, our school exam had finally ended!!</p>
<p>As a celebration for it, me and my three close friends decided to walk around the main streets of Seoul.</p>
<p>The first place that we decided to go was, the "KyoBo" bookstore.</p>
<p>After we bought some books there, we also visited "Hot Tracks" too.</p>
<p>The highlight of this day was taking a s.p.</p>
<p>Since we aren't expert at that category, our photo seemed bit strange and odd,</p>
<p>but to me it was quite interesting photo.(( just for my case.</p>]]></description>

			<title>Obama swats a fly (Andy Park-5B)</title>

&nbsp;As yo ucan see from here, Obama clearly caught a fly on his wrist during an interview with a CNN reporter. It seems uncommon and unappropriate for a president of United States to be catching flies, but it gives the citizens a sense of humanity. By catching a fly, Obama basically made himself more like a common person, allowing citizens to be more open with him. It was an intersting scene, and it truly amazed me.</p>]]></description>

			<title>My school trip (Christy Lee)</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span><span style="font-family: 바탕;"><img border="0" src="http://s.tabulas.com/kaos/TinyMCE Smilies/smiley-money-mouth.gif" alt="smiley-money-mouth.gif" />I</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> went to school trip Monday to Wednesday. As most of you know, my school is mission school, which is Christian. So it was kind of praying things going on. I thought it will be disgusting because I don</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>t have any religion and I really hate praying. Holding hands and just closing our eyes, it doesn</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>t mean anything to me. However, it was totally different than I thought. We didn</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>t pray that much, but we had a time that to know our friendship. Something that I also knew is my friend</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>s real personality. It was a time to get more time to be far with some friends. But I got closer in my best friends. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>There was time to hug our friends. I really hugged like couples, and I actually kissed to someone I wanted to be closer. It is not lip to lip kiss. Then our camp fire was really interesting. We learned one dance and we played. I actually played forgetting everything that connected to studying. We also did rock scissor paper game which is called </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&ldquo;</span><span>Very Long rock scissor paper</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rdquo;</span><span> I didn</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>t won but I was playing so hardly so I got hurt on my feet, but I am alright now. I love and love my friends. I love this school trip and I will never forget memorable trip. The worst thing was that in class activities our class did worst. Everyone danced but our class just sang. But it</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">&rsquo;</span><span>s okay. We made remembarance.</span></span></span></p>]]></description>

			<title>Another mistake (5P-Liam)</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>This time, was whole a lot different from the others. I didn't know that this was the last time. I&nbsp; finally made another mistake. I was in my classroom and it was a break period. I didn't know what to do so I just had the earphones in&nbsp;my ears and it was fun to listen to the musics. Listening to the music is always fun but this time was&nbsp;kind of a shameful thing. Well, it is a long story. When I was in sixth grade my mom and dad decided to take away my i pod and that was it. It was no fun. I hated the fact that I had nothing to play with. At that time, I was also taken away with my cellphone. I had no fun without the i pod and the cell phone. I kind of... stole the iPod from my mom's bag. I knew it is a bad thing but I was so tempted by the iPod and it was my last chance for me to take it away from my mom and dad. I surely knew it was a bad thing. I was so tempted and didn't know what to do at that time. I was so badly tempted. I don't think I did a good thing. Then, there is also another long story with it. I took it to my school and put it in my backpack. Well, if I press one small button, it turns on and it goes on and on. I hated that. I wasn't able to control that because the teacher already noticed that the music was turned on. The muscic was flowing very smoothly and it was ballard. I was so embarrassed! I didn't know what to do at that time... This was just horrible, I&nbsp;remember the moment. The teacher was screaming at me and I remember the moment.</p>]]></description>

			<title>this girl i hate..........5BMichelle Cho</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">I just read Surim's entry and I decided to write about a person I hate, too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Well, in our class at school, there are many devided groups of girls that play separately. And there are about two or more girls who have nowhere to go. Well, two of these nowhere-to- go- girls were kind of pushed out of the group that I am in. And one of those two girls, whose initials are PJY, is the girl I hate. Okay, so basically&nbsp;our group jas six people. Well, it was eight in March, but we kinda kicked them out. It is too complicated to explain, so I'll skip that. Anyways one girl went out of the group soon after we started to give her looks, but PJY tried to squeeze in for like two months and made us feel horrible every single day. No one in our class likes her. She never washed her hair, and she never says anything interesting or funny. There is like no reason to be with her. When we are all chatting she just stands with her arms crossed. Do you get it? She is just dirty and NOT interesting. We didn't want to like tell her directly that we didn't want her in the group, so we just gave her looks and let her play alone. But she always came over with her greasy hair and face and lurked around. It was so unpleasant to look at. For almost two months, she did that. Someone heard PJY saying that she will stay in the group even though no one pays attention to. We were so mad, we like swore at her right in front of her everyday. She talked behind us even though she was the fault and we didn't like her. So at our school camp which was like a week ago, we talked to her...kind of forcefully. I was so mad at her with her behaviors. She was so straight-face and acted so........arghhh!!!!!!! I was the most serious. She got pretty scared of me. And after&nbsp; camp, at school, she still talked behind us, like 'i did nothing wrong but they are....'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We really didn't want to use physical force.....but wemight have to , Idon't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We talked to her like two times again, but sh estill acted like nothing happened. She really has to see us really, really mad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>]]></description>
