Mysterious Woman

      I still vividly remember when I saw "the strange white thing" at my grandmother's house which was located in the country side. I visited my grandmother's house with my sister in summer vacation. Because it was 1983, the restroom separated from the house, and there were  only blurry lights. Although I disliked to go to the restroom at night, I went to there with my sister because of her request. When I stood in front of the restroom door, I felt a chill go down my spine. I opened the door, and I felt my hair raising. A woman who dressed Korean traditional white costume with black long hair without a face stood there. While I screamed at the top of my lung, I started running  far away. Because my grandmother was in the house, she wasn't that woman at all. Moreover,my grandmother had white short hair and didn't wear traditional costume.  Then, who was she? Whenever I stay in the darkness alone, it reminds  me of the moment I saw the mysterious woman.

My Three Daughters

      If  you first see my daughters, you'll think them triplets. They absolutely  resemble each other in apperance. In my thoughts, they have some similaritis and differences at the same time. First of all, they look very similar. They have long and dark brown hair, non-double eyelid eyes, and dimples. They are so skinny too. On the other hand, they have different characters. My first daughter is smart, but she is picky. My second daughter is an easygoing girl who gets along with everyone, but she is jealous of her sisters. My third daughter is in between, but she is impatient a little. In conclusion, bring up three daughters who have different personalities is very hard job, but I think they could learn and help each other because of their differenties.

It was a first time for me to spend Valentine's Day alone.  I had dinner as usual at home. When I was in Korea, my husband always prepared some gifts for me. We always ate out on Valentine's Day. I only had received from him. I bought some Valentine's Day gifts for him for the first time, and I sent them to Korea by airmail. Fortunately it was deliverd on exact date. I could hear his excited voice on the phone. It made me feel better. I felt  that giving sometimes made me more happier than taking on Valentine's Day.

My Country's Writing Style

   I had learnd how to write during my school life, and I still remember as if I had learnd this morning. In Korea, there are three parts; introduction,body of main topic and conclusion. It is very similar to American writing style, but my writing style is like a Japanese style. I think that is because I'm an Asian. Most Asians like indirect way, so they prefer Japanese style to American style.
   I agree with this passage, "Writing in English".
