photo essay

This is when I went to Joosang julli(?). It's located in South Jeju. People says that it is the only place to see such stones. I thought it was made by humans. Already, I was surprised. But actually when I said to mom:"Wow how can a human do all of this? It's impossible." And then she said:"What are you talking about? It is natural. Nobody made it! Nature made it." I couldn't say anything for a while I just admired it. I'm sure you'll feel the samething
 This photo is also took in Jeju. It was in a buddist temple but I don't remember the name. While I was visiting there, I thought I was in a movie. I was also curious to know how did ancient people built this.
 It was at Gyeong Ju museum. It was hard to take this photo because my friends kept interrupting me. These necklaces were quite surprising because of the beautiful stones were so well sculptured.
This photo was taken also in Gyeong Ju. As you see, the woods are beautifully colored with decorations. I stayed a long time in front of this temple, admiring it.
This was the most amazing thing I've seen ever seen in a temple. I learned that some of these golden statues had a dead monk. As you see, a person is on the picture. You can notice that the statue is huge. It's amazing that the ancient people could get all those gold.

persuasive writing

<Lee Hyung Jip>
South Korea KMLA
08/08/13

By writing this persuasive writing, I hope to convince my mom to agree with me. What I'm trying to say that I want to play online games 2 hours in weekends. 1 hour Saturday and Sunday. I won't get addicted to the game. Now, my mother always thinks I will get addicted so she only allows me to play 30 minutes a day in weekends. First of all, I will prove that I won't get addicted. According to the internet articles, if we look how many hours do addicted people play game the average is between 4~5 hours. However, I just want to play only 2 hours a week, and at the weekends. Anyone would think that 2 hours a week is far from addicted which is 4~5 hours a day. Also, according to the self testing method of Mr.Lee Hyung Cho I was way below addiction (I've done it myself)
Based on this first point, I suppose I've proven I won't get addicted if I play only 2 hours a week.
 Second of all, I think I need something to help me to get rid of my stress. Maybe you are curious what stress I have compared to yours. Well, I'm worried about my scores, my future(job) and which school I'm going in. Reading books as you say helps me, but I think it doesn't. It's working for me not taking a rest. In addition, 2 hours a week, I think it makes no difference and doesn't affect my lecture skills. It has been proven by my report card, in which my lecture exam scores didn't fall even after I started to play 2 hours of games in 1 week.
 My last point is also about addiction. Because what you're mostly concerned about is addiction. And I'm going to prove that I'm not addicted a second time. According to the researches based on DSM-4(for the source click here) which is a self-testing method. The last section is 'can't find difference between reality and game. But you know I can. If I couldn't I won't be here at GLPS camp, writing an essay to you. The second section says 'feels nervous,terrible without playing games'. As you see at home, I don't feel nervous at all, I can perfectly do may thing else even while I'm not playing games.
 For these reasons, I believe I will be safe from addicted even though I play games 2 hours a day in weekend. So I hope that, when I go back home, you allow me all I've asked you.

-Wake up, son! Denny! Wake up!
-Sorry again Dad I can't... answered the boy,whispering.
-I'll take you to the hospital! Just hold on few minutes!
-... The boy couldn't answer, he had no more strength to say anything.

The man ran through the rain, his son in his arms. He felt desperately sorry for his son that he could not help him and that he had to make his son do painful treatments to stop the disease for a while. He had enough of this stressful situation. He drove the car furiously still the sit on the seat nest to him. When they arrived there, the doctors received them immediately under 'emergency situation'. The doctors knew that it wasn't the first time that Bruce came to the hospital for that reason. The doctors knew what to do and stopped Denny's pain immediately.
-Dad... sleepy. said Denny, still whispering without strength.
-Then sleep son. It will be all right.
The next day, Bruce went to a restaurant to take some more foods for Denny. There, he met his doctor friend Damian. They discussed long time.
-So, how...is my son going? asked Bruce, carefully.
-He's fine. You know, I've got a friend, Smith.
I think he 's the only one who can cure your son. Damian explained how he could meet Smith. Bruce thought that Damian seemed a bit concerned...
When Bruce could meet Smith, he immediately introduced himself and asked for surgery. The doctor said that Bruce won't see Denny for 4 days and asked if ti was OK. Bruce didn't want to but accepted. And didn't know why.
 Few days after, Bruce received a phone call from Damian, that he wanted to meet him.
-I'm really sorry to say this...
-What? Is it about my son?
-Umm... yes.
-What is it? Tell me
-Your son is ... dead... I'm sorry Bruce...
 Bruce thought he was dreaming. He couldn't believe it. He had never felt such a pain.
Even he fell off a ladder, even he got shot in the foot during military service. Even he lost his wife. The doctor, Smith killed him, because he tested his some injections on Denny. And he died because of a serious side effect.
 Endings:
1. After a deep thinking for few days, Bruce decided to kill Smith. He couldn't hold his fury and sadness. He finally tracked Smith's laboratory which Bruce had to spend a month, entered there carefully. Bruce pretended to be one of those workers. Bruce quickly found Smith's office.. He entered there and throwed a knife right into Smith's left chest. He fell down. Afterwards, nobody could know where Bruce is, he just disappeared. Pelple now doesn't even know that he existed...
2.After this tragedy, Bruce felt in his dreams for few months. He ignored every works from where he worked. Now, he just became a useless person. He didn't even think about eating. It's already 2 months that Bruce had lost focus in his eyes. Simply, he became a ghost. He had no more reason to live. No family, he had nothing. Then, hanging his neck to a rope tied to the ceiling, his feet off the the floor. That's how he went across Styx that he would never come back.
3.(Same text with 1st ending to ' ...'s office'.) There Bruce's heart rate began to augmented 3 times faster. He saw his son tied up in a chair, painfully receiving an injection. He defeated every workers but didn't kill anyone. He menaced Smith with a knife and made him talk.
-I... I told your friend too lie to you. Because I thought if you knew that your son is dead, you would not try to find me.
-Why would I do that? I want to take my revenge!
-I wanted to use your son as white experiment mouse.
-Son, close your eyes.
Then Bruce killed him without hesitating.
 Bruce went back home with his son. It was his happiest moment in Bruce's life.

Princess Bride Movie Review

Today, I will introduce the famous movie Princess Bride. I had to see this movie because the teachers said so.
 As I said, Princess Bride is a famous which has many genres. It can be comedy, romance, adventure, and fantasy.
 The movie starts by a grandfather reading a book to his grandson in a bedroom. First of all, the story begins with an introduction of Westley, a man with blond hair, who will be the hero of the movie. But he isn't alone to be presented. The Princess Buttercup is introduced too. The Princess is fiancee of the prince prince Humperdink. However, she doesn't want to marry him but with Westley. But suddenly Indigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini kidnaps Princess Buttercup because the king needed a reason to start the war. Next, they arrives in an area in which lives the shrieking eels. The Princess nearly died but Fezzik saves her. They arrives to the cliff and climbs it helped by Fezzik. But a mysterious black man follows them. Indigo cuts the rope. However he survives and climbs it finally. He beats Indigo by a duel and goes to save Buttercup. Next, Fezzik waits to fight. The black man beats him too. Finally, the black man plays a game with Vizzini and as in the other movie it does, the black man(who seems to be a good guy) kills him this time. However Indigo and Fezzik only faint. Now, while talking with Buttercup, the black man reveals himself, he's Westley. They goes to the fire swamp together. Suddenly, Buttercup falls into a quick sand. Westley saves her and they also fought against the unusual sized rats. Westley got seriously injured. After they got out of the fire swamp, the army of the six fingered man captures Westley and tortures him by talking off his life. Buttercup is captured again to marry Humperdink. But Indigo and Fezzik tries to make revive Westley and they become one team. United,they beats but doesn't kill the six fingered man.
 Now I think this movie's scenario was a bit predictable I mean obvious. The message is clear(that true love is stronger than anything) but I guess it's too ordinary. Maybe because it's an old movie. And there were some stupid jokes(?) like when Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill and immediately follows him by rolling down there. So I think its an old fashioned movie and unfortunately, I can't say that I liked it.
 PS: here it's trailer

My goals to accomplish in 30 days

 This is my second post in my blog. Today I will tell you about my goals that I can accomplish in 30 days. My motivation to post this is a video of Matt Cutts. There are 3 goals that I want to achieve.
 In 30 days, I won't forget to do my homework. I often can't go to my first self studying time because of extra lessons. It is going to be a hard to keep this promise but I will try.
First of all, I think that I have to write homework on a notepad. Otherwise, I forget to do it like yesterday for Mock Trial lesson. Secondly, I should use my time wisely (keep my concentration on the work) while self study time if I can have one.
 My next goal to achieve in 30 days is to finish reading my 2 french books. I suppose I should read at least 10 pages a day. Next, I need to take books wherever I go, if I don't have time or if I couldn't finish it.
 Finally, I don't want to get any EOP papers (it is a punishment for when I speak Korean) til the end of the camp. For that, I must try to stop speaking (Korean). If I can't do that I should whisper while talking in Korean. Especially, I got caught in the cafeteria so I will be careful there. 
 I hope that I can keep my promises and achieve them so that I could be a better student. Thanks for reading.

introduction

                                      Introduce
 My name is Hyung Jip Lee. It means brother's house in Korean (just joking). Today I will share three things about myself with you guys. First of all, I was born in France. It's because my parents were working there once. This fact helped me to apply to an international school. Not only was I born there but lived there for 4 years.
 Secondly, I love to play football. Before I came to this camp, I played it everyday for almost 3 hours. This is one of the reasons why number 3 is important to me. Another one is because it is also the number of days I can last without doing any sports.
 So this is me. A boy who can't last 3 days without sports and who has a bizarre name.


 Thanks for reading!

PS : One of my dreams is to become like Messi. As good as him at dribbling. The second one is to become a doctor.
