I had to read almost 40 students’ essays for a writing competition. The highlight of what I read (a combination of really funny and great words of advice):
about Baseball:
“My favorite sport is baseball. Because I always watch it with a cliffhanger.”
“Young Gyu is faster than other members and Sun bin is cute in KIA, but my favorite member is Na Ji Won. He is fat and looks like a pig. so he is called “Doe Ji Wan” . It means “Pig” but he is cute and a good home-Run guy.”
“I watch baseball game every day. Do not forget.”
about Badminton:
“Hold the locket down and then when the ball come to you, hit that ball.”
“Second, it is effecting to lose your weight. Many people always think about their weight. It’s their problem. If you will join the badminton you will solve it easily. For example, I will tell you my friend Ji Hee’s story. She was a little fat when she was young, so always played badminton with her mother .Today she lost her weight. Also she got healthy body too.”
“Finally, doing badminton will help you and your friend’s relationship. You can feel friendship with your partner. This game is important to rely your partner. Therefore, when you fight with your best friend, win it together, badminton will help you.”
About Swimming: “I think learning swimming is terrifying at first because I felt some nameless fear when I gold my breath in the water… However I like swimming I feel smooth and fresh when I’m in the water.”
About Basketball: “Game is so hard, but that is opportunity to remove your fat…. I feeled I am destiny in basketball. So I started basketball at 15 years old and known as “Got of Basketball” or Michael Jin.”
About Different Books:
“I feel very exciting after reading the book. I want to magic power. Finally thank you for reading here.”
“The book is called “The Prejudice and Arrogance” <—- instead of “Pride and Prejudice.”
“When he was the same age as me, he poured paints into the river with eyes full of curiosity.”
About Twilight: “And I want to write my love story like this book.”
