An adventure New York

There are many New York adventures stories since I came here. I went to the shoe’s shop in the Long Island City that I always go to buy it. I’ve already bought for many pair of shoes from this shop. After that, they always send me a discount coupon for buy the shoes on next time. At that time they sent me a $30 coupon, and then I went there again to buy a new shoe on the last weekend. There were many shoes which the different in the prizes, but the most important for me is that the shoe I like must be very comfortable shoes. I tried the expensive one, but I couldn’t use it. I’d spent my time there for an hour, so I found a one pair which was very comfortable for me. The old prize was $140, but they put down the pries was $59.94. Not only, did the shop discount 50% from that pries, but also I had the $30 coupon, so I paid for that shoe just 1 penny only. I was so surprised about that and I was very happy. The shoes which I bought, I paid for nothing.

“Adventure in New York”


There many adventures in New York. Mine was boring.

It was the Halloween day which is known as big holiday. I was at 72nd street in Manhattan. I was going to see a movie in Beacon which is a movies theater. When I left my house I saw the people everywhere. I went to the train station. Many people were waiting for the train. Every train was full but I tried to push some people to get a space.
When I came there, I got off on the train and try to join the theater. I found a long line more than 100 peoples waiting for the ticket, I got on it and waited for about 20 minutes the line seemed not move , I felt angry and didn’t no where else I could go. Therefore I decided to go back home.
My New York adventure taught me an unforgettable lesson. I leaned that if there are holidays I have to leave home early because every body are interested and nobody stay home.

There are many adventures in New York city. Mine is surprising.

Last summer I went to the six flags great adventure with my friends.

It’s a theme park And rellor-coaster park. There are 13 coasters in there, it’s

very Exciting and interesting.

I got up 7:00 am, then went to the flushing to meet my friends. After that

We went to the Time square station took the bus go to there. It’s in the NJ

But not very far just use 1 hour. When we arrived there I was so surprising

Because the coaster was so high and so fast, then I thought, “Oh my god, I

can’t take this, I will fly out. But my friends told me, “Don’t be shy, it’s very

good. Let’s go! Come on man.”

Finally I decided to try this but the line was so long, we waited about 30

Minutes after that we went into the coaster I felt so afraid, I told myself:

I can’t go out right now just relax. The coaster was running suddenly I din’t

Feel afraid I feel very good. When the coaster stopped I told my friends

let’s go to the next one.

After that I learned you should to try anything if you feel afraid, you can beat it!!!

Adventure with New York Trains

There are many NY adventure stories. One of them made me surprise was a comfortable transportation, especially a train. It was the first week since I came to NY. On that day I had to register a falling ESL class at La guardia where was not so far from train station, 33rd station. Therefore took a train was the suitable to go there. I found many problems such as where is train station ,how to buy a ticket , and how to take a train.

Simple but not easy to begin because I have never took a train in NY. First question was “Where is the train station?” I didn’t even know that, although it was only 4 blocks from my small room. It seemed silly for me, so I have to ask a neighbor. After a while I walked along the street to train station, 61st Woodside station was my destination. I reached there with two simple questions again. My questions were not only “How to but a ticket”,
but also “How to take a train”. I took a very long time to ask the MTA officer at the station. She was so kind because she not only taught me to use vendor machine for buying a ticket, but she also gave me a train map. Moreover, she described everything that she could do it for an alien foreigner like me. I was thankful her about trains.
Before I came here, I had thought NewYoker never kind to any foreigner.

My surprising NY adventure taught me an unexpected lesson. Nowadays, I learned that sometimes you scared because you just never experienced it. There is nothing too hard for people, the important point is don’t be shy. Open your mouth. Open your mind.

There are many adventure in New York city.

Mine is surprise. When I worked in Deli in Manhattan as night part time Casher There is

A lot of strange people. Drug addict, Alcohol-holic , teenage who used marihuana.



Anyway I will write about most strange person ever I met before in my life. One day I

worked as other day. Suddenly door was open. And one of fat and ugly whitish blonde

hair old woman came in. Her face was so ugly. Basically I am person who don’t see face.

Just I want to say that she was so ugly. At that time my English was not good. Of course

It is still not good. Any way as soon as she came in . she asked me something. But her

English was so fast and pronunciation was muttered. And I didn’t catch what she said to

me. Than she was crazy. She started to shout. “Here is USA and Manhattan. But I can

not see anyone who can speak English! Every one is Spanish and Asian. Is there a who

can speak English???!!!” and she repeated that word “is there who can speak English?”

Might be for 10 minute. It was horrible experience. Every customer looked me and her.

Some of people went out. Even though I said to her “O.K. O.K please calm down. I can

speak English” but she didn’t stop. She said to me “ you can not speak English, calm

down? XXXXXXX!!!” she looked like almost crazy. And then she went out with anger.

Just I wished that please do not come again. But she’d came again after that day. And

always blamed to me and my English



Actually at that time I didn’t understand how to use ‘what’ or ‘who’ between sentence.

But that day I heard too many sentence “is there a ‘who’ can speak English?” than finally

I could understand a structure of English.

“An Adventure in New York” by Luisa Maria Nieto Ramirez

There are a lot of adventures in my life. Now, I am living in New York where I have founded new and interesting adventures.
Since I arrived here, I have lived different experiences. One of them was the Halloween parade. My cousins had talked about it before and they said it was an amazing event. I was so excited about Halloween and I wanted to go there. My cousin lent me her dress and put some special make up and she also looked like a witch. We went to Manhattan with her boyfriend by train. It was so could and I didn’t wear a jacket.
When we were in the train station, two trains didn’t stop, so we arrived late. In the train, we saw some people with spectacular dresses. I had never seen it before. There were a lot of people and everybody looked very funny. It was strange for me, because in my country, you couldn’t wear like this and go by bus.
We arrived late and couldn’t find a good place to see the event. But finally, we couldn’t see the special dresses and crazy people. Some dresses were very beautiful other very strange. We took a lot of pictures and stayed stand up all the time. I enjoyed it a lot. It was really a new experience.
When we tried to come back to our house, I felt terrible. Everybody wanted to take the train. I almost fell down. I couldn’t breathe and I felt very could because I didn’t have a jacket. After that, we went to Astoria to eat pizza. In the restaurant, we started to talk about every dress and laughed for many minutes.
I felt good because I could live a new spectacular experience. That day was so difficult for me because, I realize my sister was sick and I was very sad. But my family here tried to help me and to give me support. Finally my sister was better and I had a fun time. If I was in New York on Halloween and I didn’t go to the parade I felt so terrible.
Not only was my adventure in New York interesting, but it was also very funny and enjoyable. I learned how much the people in New York like to enjoy this date. I think it was a rich experience. I want to go there again the next year but more early.

Adventures in New York

There are so many adventures in New York.
Therefore, I have been surprised since I came to New York.

One of adventures is many kinds of people in New York. Before I came to New York, I thought that most people would be white and black people. But that was my mistake. When I came here on the first day, I took a taxi at the airport. The taxi driver was not white and black. I asked him where he was from. He answered me, “I’m from India.” After that, my first house was in Woodside, Queens. I was surprised again because there were many people who had different skin colors there. Actually, I couldn’t be used to living in New York at first because I’d never experienced before. In Korea, most people were Koreans, and there were some foreigners. So New York was weird to me. I have been here for three months. I am familiar to living in New York and I have many friends who are from different countries. I’m satisfied in a New York life now.

My surprising adventures in New York taught me an unexpected lesson. I learned that the world is wide, and there are many people who have different skin colors in the world. By sunny

About "Ghetto life 101"

That story shows a crude reality. Not only can it happen in "undeveloped countries", it also occurs in "developed countries" like USA. It's a sad story, because since they are very young have to live many difficult experiences. Most of the times the poverty can be easily mixed with drugs, alcohol and a lot of children what means more needs, problems and delinquency. The people always try to put the social problems in a reduce space (like in Ghetto life), so they didn't realize, the problem is still there and is continually more big.

Michael

It is practice for writing . written by Sean. Ko

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael.

"Whoa"

Wheather is getting cold. Wind is chilly. Michael breathed out.

The church on Union Street.

It is the only one reason that Michael is here. There are many people. In the grand church which was made 100 years ago

is pride of church members.

Also it is good for Michael. Because Many people benefit from thim . But recently It has not been Good.

Today he only has 50 cents.

He doesn't eat anything for this reason .

But. Michael dosen't despair. Because it is the claim ofa person who has hope.

Only a person who has hope can despair.

"Deng Deng"

A bell is ringing. Is today Sunday? People are going out the church. The time worship service has ended.

Michael bows down to the ground.

Usally people give bread to a person who is humble and give a sneer to a person who is proudful.

The proverb is almost right. So Michael trust it .

"Ddubbuk Ddubbuk"
"DDogak Ddogak"
"Tubbuk Tubbuk"

The sound of shoes and heels and talking womens, laughing.

It is coming.

It is coming.

and it is passing away.

But there is nothing in Michael's bowl.

There is alywas an exception. Even in a Proverb.

"Do I need to search the gabarge basket today?"

Michael has sighed.

Sometimes, if he has luck he finds almost fresh foods.

But, Usally It is rotten food. But hunger makes him shameless.

Well. anyhow nobody cares about that.

But he hesitated. Because he ate a rotten apple which someone bit and he has had a stomacache for 3 days.

And he didn't get as mush as he can .

People go out from church continually, many many people.

They will return 1 week later.


There is a second crowd.

Decent block suit. whitish hair, he is reverend of this church, Steven.

Sometimes, Michael heard his sermon .

"Beloved! We must love each other. Especially, Weak person among you"

Well, maybe it was like that.

His follower walks with him. All of them are in the same clothes, black suits, black shoes, black neck-ties.

"Pastor, How can I love my neighbor?"

One of the young person ask him.

"DDubuk Ddubuk"

Rev. Steven who has a bible passed in front of Michael with dignity.

"Brother, Before everything. You must pay attention to your neighbor."

There are people who are less than us all the time around us.

Like angles they walk to discuss on a shiny road with dignity and holy figure.

"It is cold."

If I have a cup of coffee.

That hot and mild, deep coffee.

Michael thinks of coffee which can be bought for 1$ like Nectar that is the drink of life.

Michael looks up at the sky.

'Is there a God ?'

Cold winter , his body is getting weak.

It is so hary thing to live with this old body outside.

Even thougth he lived long time outside.

But. the thing that kills people is mind, not substance.

Sometimes,Despair kills people.

"DduBuk Ddubuk"
"Ddabak Ddabak"

Michael heard two footstep like a duet.

But, It was not from the church , from the oppsite side to the church.

Michael slowly turned his head and looked behind.

There were one old and one kid.

The old man wore a block suit and black sun -glass and he had also long hair.

The kid wore a white suit and white round hat, and blonde hair.

"Tadak Tdaddak , Tak"

"Hi"

He ran to Michael and said "Hi" with gazing Michael's eyes.

"Hi"

Unintentionally, He said "Hi" with his hand raised.

"What are you doing here?"

"..."


Michael thought to himself, What can I say to him who asks a homeless person who sits down on the road and begs.

"Well."

"Aren't you cold?"

"..."

'Desn't he even know he is looking at me?'

"There is a lot of food where we will go . Do you want to go with us?"

Michael felt his mind like a kid. Becuase he asked the embarassed question.

"Ha..I can't"

"Why?"

"I can not stand up"

"So?"

"I can't, Because I can't stand up"

"Why?"

"..."

'What shold I do?'


Suddenly the kid grabbed him and pulled.

"Stand up"

The kid was really strong and as a result Michael's body was raised.

But.. He could stand.

..

His leg was moving.

The kid ran to the church, Grabbing the hand of Michael.

Michael was to shocked and just followed that kid.

Michael was running.

Between waves of green trees.

The green tree's waved in front of the church.

Michael waslaughing.

His laughing was the biggest in his life.

"hey"

"Ya?"

"Why did this man laid down here?"

"Well . let me see. Oh,My... he is not breathing !"

"What? call the hospital,Now"

"O.K"

Happiness Sometime Priceless

Happiness is a very famous answer if you ask people, “What is the most important in life?” Nevertheless, most of them still believe the more money you have, the more happiness you get.
Soccer player are considered happy. Soccer is one if my favorite sports. When I was teen-age, I was interested when soccer player moved to the new teams with incredible salaries. I was thinking that they were happy with the new salary, otherwise they wouldn’t move. One day, I was surprised while I watched a sport news report. There was one soccer player who moved as usual but he got a lower salary, very low. It was strange, but at the end of the news report, he said, “I’m looking for happiness, not money anymore”
Friend is a relationship. When I was studying in the university, I had a lot of friends and one of them were from rich parents but I sometime heard him say, “If I were not a student from rich parents, I would find a lot of close friends.” and he also said, “Most poor students have a bunch of close friends.” He told me you have to make a relationship and you couldn’t pay for anyone to be your friend.
Children are parents’ hope. Most problems, nowadays, are from their parents not having enough time to talk with their children. They are working as workoholic, as long as they can for money, sometime all day all night. Eventually, their children are in trouble such as addiction.
Happiness has the most importance but you cannot buy it, although you are very famous person and got a high salary. Some of happiness is in its surrounding, you can get it by making a relationship. Some poor families has more happiness because they have time to talk with their children. Happiness Sometime Priceless.

The Challenges of My Life

I have been changing since I was born.

I’m an only child. When I was a child, I was a little bit lonely. I wanted sisters or brothers, but it was impossible. So I loved to meet people, and my personality got more outgoing.

There are many education problems in Korea. When I was in high school, our class
usually finished at 6 P.M. however, we had to study more in school, until 10 P.M,
because we had to get the test like SAT ready to go to college. So we didn’t have free time while going to high school. Afterward, I went to college, but I didn’t study more time, compared with the time of high school. Most people who graduated from high school got tired and needed free time. That’s why my English ability is worse than that of high school students.

I have chased my goal. When I was younger than now, I didn’t have my dream, but now, I have it. I have pursued my goal and I’d like to take my dream.

I have had challenges in my life. Whenever I have some challenges. I’m excited even if I’m nervous a little bit. Now I’m trying in order to overcome challenges. By sunny

[The Hope of My Future]

Name : In Jeong

I have had a monotonous life till now. I was living as others.
I went to elementary school, middle school and then high school, and university. When I was a student, I was always quiet. (It is true.)

I also had a monotonous childhood, I went to kindergarten at that time I could learn to sing and dance, so many children like this class. But sometimes, some children should dance in front of a lot of children who were selected by the teacher. I didn’t like that because I was a very shy girl. When the teacher called my name, I often cried or hid.

My family’s life was also flat. I went on vacation with family only one time. My father was always busy so he often missed his vacation. Moreover, if he took his vacation from his company, he usually stayed at home. And my mother was not active. She liked to read a book and to knit.

My New York life is also boring. But it is better than in the past. When I came here first, I thought the life was very exciting. However, my routine has been the same everyday. I go to school and meet my friends and then sometimes sightsee. And I felt all people were the same. This means Asian, American and another countries’ people were similar. So they think or act similarly.

I will change my life. I will stay here for 2 months, so I will enjoy everything. And then if I go back Korea. I can love myself. My past life was not bad but I need to enjoy my life more than before. I hope to meet an exciting future.
