Favorite Class
My Favorite Class
Bo Yoon Kwak
My favorite class is library class. The first reason is because I can read many books. I like to read fantasy books about mysterious things. My favorite series is Harry Potter. I like it because it has a bunch of adventures. It is interesting that the characters do magic. Also, there are scary mysteries the characters have to solve. I think it is a mass of fantasy, such as magic and animals that can talk to each other.
The second reason is because I can get bunches of information about many topics, such as heroes, animals, history, and plants. The third reason is because I can become smarter by reading books. Libraries are incredible!
I am convinced that taking library classes makes me wise. There is a wise saying, “Humans make books but books make people human.” My father told me not to forget this wise saying. That’s my favorite wise saying which is aligned with books. That’s why my favorite class is library class. I will give my best efforts in library class so I can get smarter. Books, books, books!
My Favorite Class
Jae O Lee
My favorite class is English soccer. On Thursday, I scored a goal. Everyone was happy. Everyone cheered. I couldn`t believe I made a goal. It was because Ji Sub helped me. As he pretended to make a corner kick, he passed the ball to me. I kicked it with all my power and it flew high .The goalkeeper caught that ball but soon he dropped it by mistake. It was my first goal. I was very lucky.
We, third graders, often play against fourth graders but we lose most of the time. I wish my team would win more often. Mr. Taylor is our soccer teacher. He plays soccer very well. When he joined the third graders, we were very happy and excited but he doesn’t make any goals. Most of the time, he passes the ball to the students, I know that is because he wants to give us the chance to make a goal. When the time comes and he must kick the ball himself, he always makes a goal. That's why I think he is a good player.
Twice a week, in soccer class, I play with my friends. I like it very much. After school, usually I have little time to play outside and a lot of homework to do. Thus, the the English soccer class is a very precious time for me. Also, while playing soccer I use my body a lot and it helps me stay healthy. The one thing I don't like about this class is that I feel hungry and tired after the class. I wish I could bring a snack to school and eat it before the soccer class. Then, I wouldn’t be hungry and I would be a better player.
My Favorite Class
Min Seo Oh
My favorite class is P.E. because I like running and playing. When I run, I feel pleasant. Also, I can go faster than my friends. If you want to win a running race, you have to do stretching exercises before running, and you should picture the finish line while you run. You should think 'I can win!'
I think boy friends like P.E class, too. Boy friends don’t like studying and writing. I like both. However, I like playing more than studying.
My Favorite Class
Sungmin Choe
My favorite class in Maewon Elementary School is Science. It is my favorite because it is fun and we do many experiments together. This includes a volcano erupting, making "fossils", and seeing how rocks weather. I like experiments because I can try new things and see the results of the experiments. My favorite experiment I have done is seeing how volcanoes erupt.
I also like experiments about chemistry. My favorite thing to learn in science class is changes of matter. I especially like studying chemical changes because my dream is to be a chemist.
My second favorite class is Social Studies class. It is my second favorite because I learn about maps, towns, etc. My favorite thing to learn in Social Studies class is studying about maps. I like it because I have liked to draw maps since I was young. However, it is not as fun as Science.

My favorite class is 3-Maehwa. First, my teachers are kind to me. Second, there are many fun projects. I want to make a book or toys. Third, class is not boring when we cannot concentrate on class, our teachers allow us to play exciting games. For example, we search for vocabulary words in the dictionary. I love my class very much. I hope to study with my teachers and classmates next year, too.
Favorite Teacher
My Favorite Teacher
Hee Su Jung
My favorite teacher is Mr. Lee because he is smart, funny, and makes us happy. He is handsome. He sometimes makes jokes, like at a comedy performance. Also, he teaches us Science, Math, Social Studies very easily. He can tell us many things about many subjects. That's why I think he is smart.
I think he is funny, but I don't want him to be funny all of the time because we have to study, not play. However, he is a perfect teacher.
My Favorite Teacher

My favorite teacher is Mr. Garari. When I was second grade he was my teacher. I like him because he was fun. He was good at the teaching English. When it was Halloween, he was wearing my costume and my costume was Snow White
I am enjoyed my class and everybody else enjoyed it, too. Would you want to take his class? Sadly, he is not here. I am sad but I have Miss James. Her class is fun, too.
My Favorite Teacher
Kyu Bin An
My favorite teacher is my third grade teacher, Miss James. She's my favorite teacher because, when I do a good job, she always rejoices with me. I am happy about her and me. Then, in P.E class, Miss James has many good ideas. She plays many fun games. In P.E class, we play soccer. Our class likes soccer a lot so when we play soccer everyone is interested.
When we are tired, she makes our class lively. We have personal points and team points, so we try to get team points and personal points. Miss James says to always rewrite our diaries. I think this year has been good to me. If you have Miss James in class, it will be really fun.
My Favorite Teacher
Yoon Seo Ha
My favorite teacher is Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee is very fun but he is very scary. He makes fun things and he says we can play games. We play Go-noo in his class. I like to play Go-noo.
I think Mr. Lee is a very creative teacher. He can play the guitar, he can tell us things we don`t know, and he tells us fun things. I like singing time with Mr. Lee. He plays the guitar when we`re singing songs.
When I am a teacher, I want to be like Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee`s advantage is that he can tell to many funny stories to our class. Mr. Lee`s weak area is that he is very scary. Mr. Lee is a very funny and very scary teacher. He looks like a tiger when he is angry, and he looks like a monkey when he is kind.

Yoong Kue Park
My favorite teacher is Mr. Gerreri. He was my second grade teacher. He looked like a Korean pear.
He always asked us questions and gave us candy. He asked questions like, “What do you call half of a sphere?” If we had the most points, he gave us prizes. I won prizes three times in his class.
Finally, if we had time, he always went outside to do relay races. I like relay races because I am good at running. Most of the time, I win. That is why he is my favorite teacher.

My favorite weather is cold weather because it isn't hot and I don’t sweat. When it's cold, I wear clothes and gloves and warm boots. I'm very happy when it snows. The whole world looks like it is covered in sugar, peaceful and blessed.
I hope it snows soon so that I can make snowballs and a snowman. Sometimes, I make a snowman with my father and mother and sometimes alone. I make snowmen that are not too big but very cute. They look like puppy dogs. I often keep it in the freezer, so I can see it, whenever I want. Sometimes, I keep it for a long time, even for a year till the next winter.
There is one more reason I like winter. It is because my birthday is in the winter, at the end of November. I'm waiting for winter.

In the fall, the leaves are beautiful and look like fire. Also, it looks like there is fire on the mountains and they are very pretty. The color of fall sky is blue and clean, and there are no clouds. That color is very beautiful. Animals are ready for their winter sleep. It's good for me to go hiking in the fall.

My favorite season is spring because it is not very warm and not very cold. It is cool. I can play outside or go somewhere. The weather doesn’t feel like scorching heat. My family loves spring, too. However, when it is spring, we have to wait a very long time so I`m a little bit unhappy in the spring.
Spring weather is cool but it is a little bit rainy so it is little bit damp. Now, it is fall but I am waiting for spring. I don`t like my family’s favorite weather, summer, because it is too warm and hot. However, I love summer a little bit because, in summer, I can swim in the water and I can have fun. I want the season to change to spring.

Also, last, there is no famine because there is a lot of food and fruit to eat. We have Chuseok and Thanksgiving Day. There are a lot of Korean proverbs. My favorite one is “High sky and plump horses.” The real meaning is that it is a good season to read books.

My Favorite Vacation
Ha Jin Jung
My favorite vacation was last year`s summer vacation. We went to Singapore and Bintan Island. First, we checked in to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Then, we took a nap. Later, we went to the swimming pool and swam in the deep end. It was very fun. I went on the slide! Splash!!!
At night, we went to Night Safari. It was very dark so I thought it would be very scary and fun. I was right. We saw many animals that were wild and the bus had an open roof. The next day, we went on a duck tour. It was a bus but it became a boat and floated. It was interesting. On the third day, we got a hotel on Bintan Island. There, we met my friend, named Si Young. We played together and went to the beach to see a beautiful seascape. I like my last vacation because it was a fantastic vacation.

Jun Young Kim
Wow! It's summer vacation. I had so many plans. First, I read five books in one day. My favorite types of books are scientific books. Scientific books have some interesting and informational content. They contain information about health, nature, the earth, and space. I learned more information from the books. Second, I went to the beach. Third, I took swimming lessons.
I went to Gangwondo, with my family, for two nights and three days. We stayed at my aunt's villa. The villa was nice and luxurious. It was a traditional Korean - style house. It had wild yard with a green lawn. I want to live in a house like that one.
I went to the beach. I made sand castles and played in the water. Also, I found some clams. My baby brother and I took a sand bath.
It was very fun. At night we went to the fish market called Sokcho Market and ate fried food. It was very delicious and sweet smell. The market was crowded with people. There was fresh sea food. Our family bought fried squid, fried shrimp and so many kinds of fish. At night, my family went back to the Villa.
Then, we had a barbecue party. I too much meat so I was very full. Eating outside with my family was really fun. We also ate sweet potatoes and white potatoes. They tasted good. I was especially happy and enjoyed myself because I spent time with my family.

In Italy, we saw the Tower Of Pisa and the Coliseum. They wanted to make it sixteen floors tall but it is only eight floors tall. People think that it will crash to the ground in 2050. In Switzerland, we travelled by train for three hours. We saw things in a snow in museum. It was really fun! I want to go there one more time.
