Photo Essay : One picture every day

  -Experiencing Seattle-
In 2012 December to 2013 March
Hi everyone! Welcome again! Well, this time in this post you can see my photo essay : one picture every day. So, please enjoy my post!!


  Every day, every hour, every minute, every second, which I want to express those here, in this essay. This photo essay will be about meaningful photos in my life, expressing my emotion, situation and behaviors. If you want to know my topic of this essay, it is above in my title, experiencing Seattle. From now, on let me start.


 So, I collected pictures taken during Seattle abroad study. I went to Seattle in order to study English and experience something new there. There are bunch of pictures taken with my friends, teacher, and myself. 

Above pictures are from my Korean friends, sharing boarding house room for 3 month and play, stay, talk together. We were really close at that time. We cried in the day when we have left to Incheon airport. 

My pictures. Just in every moment. While studying, eating, smiling, standing, reading.

Staying in Seattle. We had lot of presentations and speech to present. Especially in JLS or another studying period. We had done final presentation for boarding house, speech in King's school about Korea, and so on. Those pictures are taken while I was presenting during class period.

In almost last day, boarding house students went to Boeing company because they wanted to. We had great time watching airplanes, buying airplanes with our allowance...... However, I thought it was the happiest time ever spent in Seattle.

These are my school's picture. JLS boarding house students attend to Seattle King's school and JLS academy. King's school is a private school with great lunch and fantastic recess. All of the students attending to this school was enthusiastic and bright and kind. I really enjoyed my school life. 

Pictures taken with all of my friends. Actually, there are more friends who paid more money and staying at foreigners' house(homestay students). But, I was in boarding house. We went to many places like parks, college, shops, ski resort(with homestay students). 

My best picture in Seattle. It was maybe final picture taken with my foreign friends. I can remember their names. It was such a fantastic time and fantastic friends around me. I want to keep this picture forever.
  Did you enjoy my pictures in Seattle? If you did, you should go to your blog and upload your pictures about your life! If you didn't, please read this essay one more time and enjoy and follow above steps! Thanks!

Movie Review-'Mao's last dancer'





  Hello again. This time(or today) I am going to post movie review about a movie which has such a fascinating and influencing story. Before we start we should know some of character right? So there are Li(main character), Liz, Li's parents, Mr. Chan, Ben Stevensen, Lori, Charles Foster, Mary Mckendry. And, this story takes a place at China-America-China-Australia. Now, let me start movie review about 'Mao's last dancer'.
  Mao's Last dancer is a movie about a boy who becomes a professional danseur. The story's background is in a small village in China. And, China in communists' govern. This movie shows ordeal of a boy while becoming a professional ballet dancer.
  To summarize the story, I have to go back to China when the communist government was ruling country. There was a boy, just a normal boy who lived in countryside of China. He was just a normal boy in school. But one day something happens, which changes his destiny. People from Beijing came to his class and picked him to take a test to be a danseur. He finally passed and moved to Beijing. He was trained hard in the school of danseur and ballerina. He just wanted to give up and was disappointed some times (because of lots of ordeal), but he didn't give up ballet. After his teacher went to jail because he was told to blame China, he becomes professional danseur and plays in lots of musical. After the show which representing China, he was told to go to America for show. In America, he met Ben Stevensen, who manages ballet in America(?). After meeting Ben and performing lots of shows, Li became popular all over America. His show was fascinating everywhere. But, there was a big problem, he had to go back to China. He married Elizabeth(Who wanted to do ballet well) and was just trying to live in America. After some contradicts, he finally decides to stay in America. Then, a Chinese person brings Li's parents and go back to China. After that, Li and his secondary girl friend marry and live in happiness in Australia.
  So, things that this movie teach is be passionate and do not give up if you like what you are doing now. You need to do what you want. That is a way to success. Like Li chose to be professional ballet dancer, and practiced hard. You have to have strong passions in your work. If you don't like or hate to do, you must throw away immediately and try another thing that you would enjoy and like to do. I can give 4 stars out of 5 stars because I cannot feel passionate in watching movie and also this genre of movie is not my favorite. But, story was well organized and great. I recommend you if you want to be an professional ballerina or danseur.(It means if you feel passionate about it)

Self-introduction

"Three things I know to I know to be true"
1. My vision is to be an astronomer that is why I like to watch stars.
2. My favorite sport is badminton.
3. My favorite subject is science. (because of astronomy)

Introduction introducing me
Hello to visitors! My name is Daniel cho ye jun, I am 14 years old and now, and going to middle school in Bundang. I live in Kyeonggido Seong Nam in Korea. To introduce my self specifically, my hobby is playing badminton. And, I also like to watch stars, because I have little telescope in my house. I usually watch moon because in city, there are light, air pollution so it is hard to observe deep sky objects. I have never observed stars or bright galaxies or nebulae with that telescope, but I have observed Jupitor, ring of Saturn, Mars and other stars with telescope in School astronomy club. 
You can see that I like astronomy, and that leads to my vision, astronomer. Astronomers are who study about stars and outer universe. And also, my favorite subject is science. At my age of 12, I wanted to be an aeronautical scientist, who makes aeroplane and studies about aeronautical science. At that age, I was really interested in airplanes. I memorized names of airplanes used in WW1, WW2, Cold war and also now. I studied about airplanes and how can they fly. Also, in my school, I presented about history of airplanes, the way how airplanes fly. In winter of 2012 and 2013, I went to Seattle to improve my English skills, but I made interest in astronomy. At the last, I presented about life of stars and in 2013 also in my school presentation competition, I presented about life of stars once again.Otherwise, I still like to watch documentary about warplanes. My favorite documentary about warplane is History channel's Dogfight. This documentary contains lots of information about warplanes. Above pictures are warplanes I liked in that age.
I do have my favorite sport. Badminton. I like badminton a lot so that I only play badminton. I know lots of techniques of badminton but I am not good at dropshot, jump smash. My highclear length is short because I don't have enough power. I hope to play badminton well soon. 
Don't get out yet, I have more things about me. Because my father is a pilot, I have been to lots of countries abroad. Maybe 12 or 13 different countries. You know what? I have been to Egypt while protesters were on stage. I drank cs gas which was fired by police. That day, my father and I made way to airport immediately passing through barricade. Also, I have one more experience. Recently like 2 month ago(from date when I wrote this post) our family went on trip to France. When airplane took of and 10 minutes passed, first pilot made emergency call. And, plane threw away fuel and landed safely on Incheon airport. We were really scared. My mother said "It's glad to have all of our family members here" I don't think it was really urgent situation.
I think I have finished introducing about my self. Here, I want to hear your stories. I am glad if you write some feedbacks or your stroy in my blog.
