(Korean Article...)about eating salt
WHO and korean health care organization said we eat too many salts in our life. If we eat too many salts and it don's come out than it can cause the disease, 'hypertension' which can kill 25% of patients who get this disease. They said our needed amount of salts per day is 5grams, but now a days people eat 12grams a day, so they warned this problem. Korean foods usually have more salts in it than other country foods. So 27% of south koreans have hypertension and more than 50% of people who are sixty to sixty- nine have hypertension. Also this diseas cause the stomach cancer. so we need to decreas our eating amount of salt. we usually eat noodle, but it has 5 grams amount of salt, so we have to avoid. Salts are really important for our health, but it's also dangerous if we take too much.

Things hoped for-andrew clements(~p.27)
Gwen is a seventeen-year old girl who came to her grandpa's house in New York. She really wants to get in the music school in the New York with playing her violin, so she moved to her grandpa's house alone. Her grandpa and Gwen didn't talk a lot, but they shared their time a lot. But one day, her grandpa disappeared leaving only the voice message that says don't worry and don't tell anyone, he'll comeback. So Gwen tried to be calm and didn't tell anyone, but she was very confused with her missing grandpa. I think she is very trustful,brave, independent, and calm. Because after her grandpa disappeared, she kept that secret. Also, she got the letter from her mother, and she could tell her mom, but she didn't. She contineosly practiced the violin and tried to calm down herself. I wonder if she passed that tryout and her grandpa come back.

In Texas, there are two air line, Southwest and American. Southwest women worker don't have the changed shape of foot, but the American worker women do. Because while Southwest workers wear tennis shoes during work, American workers wear high hills. It made American women workers have the strange shape of foot. There are three different disease about these strange shaped foot. Long time ago, in Korea, they wore the kind of socks called ,'Boe seon', it made their feet shape changed. Their thumb toe side bones pop out. This is called 'hallux valgus'. The women who wear high hills often or naturally have the wide feet, are easy to get one of these kind of disease, 'tailor syndrome'. This is the shape that pinky toe side bones pop out. Other kind is 'brachydactyly', which have the shorter toe than other toes. I didn't know that toe are really important for our health, from now on, we should care about our foot.

Newspaper article.

There were a 6 year old girl and her 3 year old younger brother alone in the house. Her parents keep their gun on the shelf for just in case. The girl grabed the gun and play with that gun. Finally she pulled the trigger of the gun, and it shoots her little brother, then he died. Even if she shoot the gun to her brother by accident, she will feel so guilty when she grown up. I think it's the parent's fault. They should keep their gun in the locked drawer. They lost their children by thier carelessness. Also I hope we must not keep the gun in the house. It could make another kind of accident. Someone who get mad, could shoot or teenager children can bring that gun to their school. I can understand why people keep their gun in the house, but they have to be careful from themselves and their children.

Sandy Lane Stables. Dream pony----Susannah Leigh(Ch.6)

Jess is a girl who usually enjoy to ride horses with her friends in Sandy Lane Stables, but that saturday, she couldn't, because she had a appointment at Rychester for meeting with her new horse, Skylark. She was so excited that day, so she went to Rychester earlier than the appointment time. She met some new girls. She knew one of them, but that girl is very arrogant and not nice. Jess looked like she was hopeless with that girl, like "She looked hopelessly at Camilla's beautiful riding outfit, her perfect hair, her prettily arrogant face..." Jess doesn't like her, but she thinks about the long time will spend with them, so she tried to be nice. I think Jess is a quite and shy girl. I hope she learn about confidence this time.

I reda a article about the Bethany Hamilton when I was searching for the three modern heroes. She was born in Hawaii in 1980. Her parents rode her on the surfboard as a toddle. She learned surfing from their parents and she won the contest when she was 7 years old. But when she was 15 , she got a bit from a 14 feet long shark during surfing. She lost her whole left arm , but she went to the safe place as her instint. It could make her given up surfing , but she started surfing again. She overcame that hard thing in that month. I was so impressed, because if I were her I probably though my surfing life is over of course and I would be depressed every time. But she changed negative thing to positive mind. I saw her picture in her supporting website, she is smiling in all picture. I think it's the power of the believe in the god. Her parents taught her about the Jesus since she was young. It made her to be positive. I'll keep this in my mind and try to be positive.
