In our life, it is important to live for a long time. But to live a healthy and beautiful life is more important. There are many ways to keep health and beauty. Some people focus on exercise, diet, periodic medical check-up and plastic surgery for health and beauty. However, there is a method that is not considered important but can be very effective to enrich our life if we try doing continuously. That method is to keep oral hygiene. It simply begins with brushing teeth and goes up to preventive treatment and scaling at dental clinic.

Thanksgiving is coming up soon. What three things are you most thankful for?

At first, God gave me good husband and lovely three children. When I was not married, I didn't like children. But after I had three children, a point of view about children was changed dramatically. So I am trying to be a good mom and wife. Second, I want to thank for my job. Now, I'm here for my English study, but after I go back to my home country I'll continue my job. I'm very satisfied with my job and when I'll be old, I will do my job for poor people. Third, I an thankful to have my affirmative thinking. There was some distresses in my life. But when I felt that I was tough with that always tried to do something harder than before and lived more devotedly. I always want to live with thankful mind.

Generally telling a lie is said to be a bad thing. Whether it is on the purpose of good or bad, telling a lie isn't recommended in any situation. But sometimes one must do that. There is a person who has a severe diesase. If he/she would not rather know the fact for his/her mental stability, his/her family don't tell about it to that patient. There is another example.
A man who is in despair needs hearty consolation. A friend or family who give a consolation to him, although they are not sure that his situations get better, they must console him to recover his mood of despair. So sometimes it is helpful to some people to tell a lie. But in that case it has no harmful effect except a consolation.

Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.

I think that everybody has two-sided mind. One is to be loved from many people, the other is to be freely from others. When I was twenties, it was very important to be loved by others. So I spent much time to make myself more intelligent, good-looking and good-natured. When I got along with many friends, I felt so happy.

But now... I am thirties. It is good if everyone likes me. But above all, it is more important not to belong to any other person and keep going my way. My way can be my family, my job, or etc. The most important thing is not other people but myself. Nevertherless, to being oneself looks very lonely. To make a harmony between to be loved by many people and to being alone is very important.

It was a rainy and windy night in a suburban hospital. A doctor was tired from being on duty all day long. He walked slowly into a dark obsolete elevator. In that elevator there was an old woman with white hair and shriveled face. He asked her about her heaith, and how long she had been there. The old woman said it was too long to remember how many years she had been there. The elevator slowly went down and opened when it stopped at the fifth floor. The fifth floor was the place where the dead are stored. Surprisingly, there was a little girl who wanted to get inside. He was shocked and chilled to the bone to see her. He pushed the close button quickly to prevent the little girl from getting in side. After that, the elevator kept going. The old lady asked why he prevented the little girl form getting inside. The doctor replied the little girl had a number on her neck that the doctors always print on the dead. She nodded and took off her jacket slowly... She had another number on her neck.

Please post your pictures from the ALP Halloween party. Summarize the night and tell me what I missed!

I couldn't go to the ALP Halloween party because of my another schdule.
On Halloween day, my sons and daughter had great time not to forget.

At the elementary school, my first son wore muscle-spiderman costume and my second son wore ninja costume. Their principal wore cute pajama with bunny doll in his hand. They had a parade for 15 minutes.

At the preschool, my 3 year old daughter wore a princess costume. She really likes all about a princess, so as a matter of fact, her choice was a princess costume.

This was the first Halloween that I spent in America. I want to call this Halloween as 'Real Halloween'. In Korea, my son's preschool where English was spoken had Halloween party. But that was a party only for teachers and students. My children and I really enjoyed this Halloween.
