The cycle of water
The cycle of water
The earth has a limited amount of water. That water keeps going around and around. Water cycle is made up of a few main parts.
stage 1. Water turn to evaportion. Evaportion birth when the sun heat up water in rivers or lakes and sea. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake and sea and goes into the air.
stage 2. Water vapor changes to liquid again. Water vapor become cold in the air and changes into clouds by condensation.
stage 3. Water, such as snow, rain, drops from clouds to the ground. We call this situation a precipitation, which is a process in a chemical reaction which causes solid particles to become separated from a liquid. Precipitation is occured when so much water has been condensed that the air cannot hold on it anymore . The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. It falling, soak the ground or become a part of the "ground water" that animals and plants can drink and become a part of the sea.
Water become evaporation, evaporation become cloud and cloud become water back. Even though the cycle is simple, it act as essential condition for lives of every animals and plants. This cycle of water is continued again anywhere as long as the earth exists. It is the unchangeable rule of nature which was made from creator of the earth.

Compare
comparing Korea and America
Comparing of Korea and America
Even though Korea and America is an closer ally than other nations, there are many difference.
First, there are geographical big differences. The area of America' land is too big than it of Korea' land. Population of America is also too big. On the contrary, Korea' population density is much higher than America. Because America' climate is on condition of farming better than Korea' it. America can produce as enormous agricultural products as amount we can't be imagine.
Second, there are differences on the culture. Counting numbers, Koreans count number bending fingers one by one, but Americans count number unbending fingers. Mothod of motioning in calling a person also is different each other. When people call a person, Koreans put palm toward lower part, Americans put palm toward the sky.
Last. there are differences on the level of people life. Many of people has told that America is the most comfortable country. America must be the strongest country, but in the point of real people's living it is different with what people has thought. Although there are many plutocrats in America, there is also many starving people who don't have ability to make a money. According to a formal announcement of America goverment, rate of those in America is over 10%. Average earning of Americans is even higher than that of Koreans.
Korea and America have many differences on the part of geograpy, culture, life. In addition there are many different things that isn't written. It is not easy to find same things between Korea and America. Until now, because America is too advanced nation in comparing with Korea, it can be meaningless to try to compare with each other. However, what is clear is that knowing difference of each other must be help to understand America.

Adjustments to marriage
Adjustments to marriage
Whoever have the dream of happy married life but there have need of many kind of adjustments.
First, there are professional adjustments. For example, if both husband and wife had job, they have to decide whether all of them will go on working or one of them will give up working for future. Besides, if the workplace of one of them is so far, they may have to move to near place. The colleagues of the work didn't tell me anymore " I will introduce a virgin to you".
Second, There are the personal adjustments. In my case, even if I was so tired, I should cleanly wash my hand and foot before going to bed. If I work late at night in office, I had to report to my wife. I also had to do often houseworks.
Third, there are some social adjustments. The number of the family is increased. I should consider memorial days of family belong to my wife and had to agree to go to the house of my wife's parent.
finally, there are the emotional adjustments. Because I felt lots of responsibility to serve my family, I could had endurance.
Marriage must is one of the reasons that make me change much. I had many adjustments for happy married life consciously or unconsciously.

An International Language
An International Language
English has become an important international language.
First, it is important in international communication. For example, when airplane pilots try to communicate about emergency situation for landing to foreign airport, he must speak in English. If you want to watch read CNN TV-news or to read international newspapers to search variable information of the world, you will be faced with the problem of ability related with the English.
Second, English is important in business and trade. For instance, the World Bank offer all sort of available informations by reports written by English. Besides, Most of trade agreement of common market through trade negotiation is written in English. Even in the sight of economic such as international currency exchange which relate in the life of moderner, ability of English is very important in our real living.
Finally, English is important in international relations. For illustrate, Even Unite Nations has taught English as the first foreign language to communicate with foreigners. World Court draw up the ruling by English and international treaties is made up by English sentence. The correct expression of the English in the diplomatic arrangements is very important. When we are in America, we can be helped by using English from Organization of American States.
I think that learning English is inevitable more and more for global life style of the moderner.

Before he became a president, used to experince many failures. Even, he was in the mental institution for a while so because suffering was big. But he came over difficultys, had confidences to the right. After all, He became a president. When he saw the black had suffered many suffering, decided to abolish slave system. However, he was face of many opposites and had to suffer the war between the sourth and the north America. But his faith to the right was not shake, after all, he gift freedom to the black.
Because he did not surrender to actuality and practiced his confidences, I honor him.
