Huiyeong Kim - A five-paragraph classification essay p.144

201181021 김희영 Intermediate English Writing 1   Our Feet, the Transportation   In the past, people had to walk, ride a horse, or ride in a carriage to go somewhere. However, today, as the technology develops rapidly, there have been also many changes in the transportation sector. If people have the time and a car, they can easily go everywhere, or they may use public transportation such as a bus, train, ship, and an airplane. As for me, after I came up to Seoul in March to take courses in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies as an exchange student, I use these things more than before to go to my house in Ulsan. To go there, people can usually use a bus, train, or an airplane, and each of them has some advantages.   First of all, to go to Ulsan, bus is the most frequently used. Not only it is the cheaper than any other transportation, but also people can watch TV or use Internet while the bus is moving. In addition, unlike the ordinary buses, this bus never stops to its destination, except go to the rest area for a while. Also, there is lots of legroom in this bus, so people can go comfortably by stretching out their legs.   A train is the second most used transportation to go there. Because of the development of technology, Korea has now a high-speed railway, KTX, throughout the country, and it was also opened in Ulsan last year. Now it takes just about 2 hours from Seoul to Ulsan by KTX because it is over 200km. It can accommodate a number of people and reduce carbon emissions. It is also cheaper than an airplane and faster than a bus. Therefore, the number of people who use it is gradually increasing, and I also use KTX a lot.   Finally, people get on an airplane. It is the fastest transportation, so they can go to Ulsan in just thirty minutes. Because they can reduce the time, they prefer to take an airplane. It also offers people the better services compared to others. For example, a snack is served onboard. In addition, they can fly in the sky. One of the human desires is to fly in the sky, so some people take an airplane to achieve it through an airplane.   In conclusion, people usually go to Ulsan by using public transportation such as a bus, train, or an airplane. Also, there are some advantages each of them. Now people can go everywhere they want if they put their mind to it because of the development of transportation. It is not only fast but comfortable. Because of it, people can also meet their family, friends, boy or girlfriend like me, so it has now become an essential part of life.

             What do you think Seoul looked like 30 years ago? If you look at photographs taken by Kim Ki-chan, you will know how Seoul was like. The photographer Kim Ki-chan had taken photos of alleys in Seoul since 1980's. Here are two black-and-white photographs, which do not have the title. He only marked where and when he took them. In both photographs, the main center of interest is a child (or children), and there is a dog. However, each photo portrays different feelings of alleys in Seoul.

             In the first photograph, there are five children almost in a line. They look close friends. They attach a long black tape to their and dog's eyebrows. They are making a wry face, which creates a humorous atmosphere. In the center, the tallest child is holding a baseball bat. Children may have been playing baseball before they were photographed. One boy is holding a dog, which is staring into space blankly. The dog might think that it does not care whatever children do to itself. What makes this photograph special is that children are not moving, but it does not seem quite. Because of children's funny facial expression, the mood of the picture is fun and enjoyable.

             The center of focus in the second photograph is a little girl in the foreground. She is walking up the alley. In the background, there are a baby and an old woman. However, they are not seen well because they are just out of focus. Therefore, it seems as if a little girl is the only person in the alley. She looks isolated and lonely. However, there is something strange. The sense of solitude is not the only feeling this photograph gives. It also creates a sense of warmth and peace. The reason is because a little girl is carrying a spotted dog on her back. She may think of the dog as her best friend or her little brother.

             The theme of both photographs is a child or children in an alley. However, they give different feelings. In the first photograph, five boys and one dog are the main center of focus. The impression of the first picture is communicated through children's facial expressions. It seems humorous and enjoyable. On the other hand, in the second photograph, the way a little girl is positioned is important. She is only with a dog in the foreground. This composition produces the impression such as loneliness and deep friendship.

 

 

                           

 

Park Jinkyung / Five paragraph calssification essay

200904082 Park, Jin Kyung     Good Transportation, Good Trade   About 1200 years ago, people crossed the silk road, which is about 600km, from Asia to Europe and they walked or rode camels for several months or a year to do the foreign trade. This kind of story is just unimaginable as we live in a world we can go that way at only 10 hours. Nowaday, we can use various kinds of transportations such as ships, planes and rails when engaging in trade and each of them has their own advantages.   Firstly, ships are the most frequently used transportation for trade. They account for 70~80 percent for a means of the trade transportation and they are largely used for foreign trading. Not only are they relatively cheap but they are also useful when sending freight in bulk at least 40~50kg to tons of cargo at once. Trading companies use ships when they export or import crude oil, gas, iron ore, clothes, crops, cars, etc.   Another means of carrying goods is a plane in the trade business and it takes 20~30 percent. The biggest merit of the plane is speed as it is the fastest transportation in existence. It is usually used when transporting products which are small in volume and have high value such as semi-conductors or parts of electronics since the airfare is very expensive.   Lastly, people use freight rails when they carry products and they are good for domestic trading. They are cheaper than ships or planes and safe because they are not affected by the weather or environment so much. They can also carry freight in bulk and are almost free from the risk of accident.   There are three main means of transportation for trade business ; ships, planes and rails. Ships are relatively economical and carry things in bulk. Planes are really fast and good for sending products urgently. In addition, rails cost least and are realiable as we can use them regardless of the weather or the environment.

What nutrients does your food have?

        People eat various foods everyday. But do you know what nutrients the foods have? There are six main types of nutrients used to maintain body health, which are water, protein, fat, inorganic salts, vitamin and carbohydrate. Among them, water, fat and inorganic salts are common. Most foods fully contain them. You just need to control the amount of them not to overeat. But protein, vitamin and carbohydrate is limited to certain foods, although they are essential nutrients. So we have to consider our diet to consume certain foods which contain protein, vitamin or carbohydrate.

        First, I will introduce why our body needs to consume protein and what foods contain protein. Our body consists of a large number of organs such as intestine, teeth, lung, muscle and so on. Almost all of them are made up of protein. Like this, protein is an essential nutrient in making our body. Then, how can we consume it? We make an effort to eat certain foods containing protein. For example, a beef tenderloin, a pork neck, a chicken breast have relatively the high amount of protein. Especially, a chicken breast per 100g contains about 23g of protein.

        Second, I inform you about vitamin. You don't have to consume vitamin too much. But if your diet is deficient in vitamin, you will suffer a vitamin deficiency disease. For example, lack of vitamin A makes you suffer night blindness; lack of B does beriberi; lack of C does scurvy; lack of D does rickets. Let me introduce what foods has what kinds of vitamin. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and carot have enough vitamin A. Milk, cheese, liver and egg contain enough vitamin B. Tomato, orange, kiwi and apple contain vitamin C. Mushrooms, mackerel and other fishes have vitamin D.

        Last, you have to be careful to consume carbohydrate at an appropriate time. When you eat it too much at a time, leftovers turn into fat which can induce obesity. If you don't eat enough amount, your body may damage itself to produce energy. So you need to keep carbohydrate consumed on time. I will inform you of what foods have much carbohydrate. Beans, rice, nuts, barley, wheat, bread and other cereals consist mainly of carbohydrate.

        Up to now, I introduce specifically protein, vitamin and carbohydrate. We have learned that lack of those nutritions affect our body and how we can deal with nutrition deficiency. These days in our society, products and services that promote personal well-being are all the rage. The most important element for well-being life is health. Take good care of your health!

A classification essay on page 144 (first draft)

 

 

Environmental pollution, which is caused by human activities which do production, transportation, daily life and so on, is a phenomenon that harms the natural or living environment. The pollution has been deteriorated rapidly after the Industrial Revolution and is top priority that should be resolved right now. It is often said that Earth's environment is composed of the atmosphere(air), lithosphere(soil or rock) and hydrosphere(water). According to these three components of the planet, the major types of environmental pollution can be sorted into air pollution, water pollution and soil contamination.

First of all, air pollution happens when overly many pollutants, which can harm humans or other living organisms, are released into the atmosphere. Common air pollutants are usually harmful gases, which are produced by industry and motor vehicles. For example, there are carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) and nitrogen oxides and so on. Serious problems caused by air pollution, are acid rain, stratospheric ozone depletion, smog, global worming etc. Actually, the atmosphere is essential to support life on the planet so, what harms it can threaten human health or life as well as the Earth's ecosystem.

The next crucial is water pollution because most of all, Earth is covered with water, amounting to 70 percent of its surface. Water pollution is caused especially when pollutants, intentionally or through spills, are discharged into water bodies like lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater etc. Commonly discharged pollutants are wastewater from commercial and industrial waste; untreated domestic sewage; chemical contaminants like chlorine etc. In addition, water pollution is closely related to terrible sanitation problems; so, it has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases.

Another major type is soil contamination. It happens when chemicals are released intentionally, or by spill or underground leakage, into the natural soil environment. Common soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons etc. Soil contamination is serious in that it is the source of food or nutrition for almost all living beings on earth. Furthermore, it can destroy the entire ecosystem when pollutants mixed in the soil enter the food chain and spread around the planet. Soil pollution can also threaten the health of human or other living organism so, it should be always checked.

Environmental pollution is divided into air, water and soil pollution according to the sphere which pollutants is introduced to. Any type of environmental pollution can harm the overall ecosystem because almost all parts composing Earth's environment is closely connected. However, recovering the destroyed environment is extremely difficult because it is time consuming and expensive, requiring extensive knowledge and skills. Thus, we should make arduous efforts to protect our environment.

What is your Travel Type?

 

         

             Truman left his village for Fiji to meet his ex-girlfriend in "The Truman Show (1998)". In "Home Alone2 (1992)", Kevin took the wrong airplane and arrived in New York. And Funny things which he has never done before happened to him there. Like what Truman and Kevin experienced, traveling during vacation can be a good chance for you to have special memories in your life. First of all, you should think about what type of trip you prefer before leaving on a trip. There are several types of vacation trip according to the purpose for the trip.

             The fist type of trip is involved in someone who wants to take a rest. Do you think that the reason for a trip is to relax with a cup of coffee and music? If you do, you are of this type. You may prefer staying in one place for very long to going around, and taking a look at yourself to meeting new people. You need some places which have calm and peaceful atmosphere. For example, Ko Samui, Thailand, is one of the most appropriate places to take a rest. The natural environment is preserved as it is. Therefore, visitors can enjoy clean sea which is so clear that they can see the sand on the bottom.

             Another type is an adventurous trip. Some people want to go where everything is different from what they are used to. In addition, they prefer some places which most people do not visit yet or even mind visiting, because there is little information on their destination. This type of people may say, "If your feet are not perspiring, your trip is not perfect." For people who aspire to be of this type, Tibet is one of the best countries as the first to travel. It will be unforgettable memory to live with nomads, milking and shearing the sheep.

             The last type is about people who hope to enjoy urban cultures. Most people of this type hope to blend in with citizens living there. Also, they are busy looking around from museums, galleries to fancy restaurants. Suppose someone of this type goes to Bangkok. She reserves Bangkok Oriental Hotel which attracts millionaires and celebrities from all over the world. After that, she goes to Bangkok National Museum to learn about the Thai royal cultures. At night, she enjoys having a cocktail, admiring the scenery of Chao Phraya River where many people go aboard a cruise to see many Thai floating houses.

             There are three types of trip such as 'rest' type, 'adventure' type and 'urban culture' type. Although every types of trip can bring a refreshing and new experience, but you need to know what type you are of. This is because each type has different demerits in its own way. So find if you are 'rest', 'adventure' or 'urban culture', and you will be able to minimize weaknesses of each type of trip.

Few options decide your vacation

 

 Vacation always makes people excited. Get out of the stuffy downtown and traveling in nature refreshes us. But Korea students can't enjoy their vacation well. They are always chased by studying and most of the time experience financial problems. So most of people can't realize their plans for vacation. In this writing, I want to talk about some options that are needed for vacation and categorize them.

 

 First, people have to make sure their time for travel. After making promise with friends and then we can make sure the other plan. We can travel in weekdays or weekends. If we chose weekdays, most of other people have to work in that day so we can enjoy leisurely travel. Also traffic might be cool. But travel in weekdays is difficult because we have to work or study in that day like others. In some case, the vacation is cancelled because of emergency situation in school or workplace. In contrast, traveling in weekends will be good for making promise but traffic condition must be bad and so many people are in vacation spots.

 

 Next thing is place. Korea is very small country but has many mountains and beaches. Mountain is one of the most popular places for vacation because there are many mountains near the city. It's good for short trip. But many people think beaches are better than mountains since most of them can't see beaches during their daily life. Other attractions of sea are sea breeze, wild beaches, surfing and swimming. In summer time, however beaches will be so crowded.

 

 Last thing is transportations. Your choice about transportations can have a great effects on your financial and time plan. If you choose public transportations, you can save money and it could be faster than your own car when the traffic is terrible. But in some time people spend their time for waiting their bus or train under the sunshine and it makes people so tired. When you use your own car you will feel comfortable and calm. Though if traffic is heavy, you will spend your time on the highway.

 

 Vacations can be tonic in our life but many people spend their money and time with more stresses. It's because they didn't plan well. As I said, If we make a good choice in many options like weekdays or weekends, mountains or beaches, public transportations or car, we can enjoy beautiful vacation without waste of time and money.
