Chain Writing

Today was the last day of school and I have done a lot of things. I firstly skipped school and went to a bar with my friends. Fred, who is one of my best friends, got totally drunk and pulled his tooth off with a hammer. Soon, his mouth was full with blood and he just passed off.

As I have mentioned before, today was my last day of school for whole life, so I just wanted to do whatever I want. Therefore, I  took out the sword and murdered one of the people in the bar by accident.

So this is the story about how I got into the prison. Of course, I was terrified after I realized what I have done, so I just ran. First, I ran directly to the bank and I became a bank robber because I needed money.

Then I randomly chose a person walking on the road and I killed him. Them someone caught me and called the police, so now I am back in prison. Well, they gave me a fork to eat so I used that as a tool to stab the guards and I got out again! Then I married a girl named Catherine. She had shoulder-length-hair which was wavy. She was a little bit shorter than me. I did not really like her but she liked me and I was generally a nice person, that is why I got married to her. When we got married, her parents did not let us have a proper wedding but they forced us to have a disco. I wasn't very happy with that but we could not do anything about it. We got many presents from the wedding, including a life size 'Domo-Kun'. When Catherine saw 'Domo-Kun', she divorced me and married Domo-Kun. She went crazy as the time went by. When I saw her last, she was in a mental hospital wearing white clothes and was sleeping.

And you know what? Suddenly she looked so lovely and cute. I totally fell in love with her. I told her "Marry me, my love Catherine again. I am not going to divorce again. I just realized you are the cutest woman in the world." "Yes" answered Catherine. And his second marriage was successful.

Argumentative Essay: The Social Network

Throughout the entire humanity, there were three main revolutions that changed the whole world: The Agricultural, Industrial and Digital Revolution. In the 21st century, the Digital Revolution is having a significant effect on the humanity. One of the most significant outcomes of the Digital Revolution is the Internet. Imagine life without internet, the world would go dark. The Internet is already a part of our life and playing a very important role. Nowadays, people share and exchange information via SNS, an abbreviation of 'Social Networking Service'. SNS has both positive and negative factors to the world, but I strongly believe that the positive factors outnumber.

The fact that SNS can be used as an effective tool to spread the information can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. In terms of the negative reason, people might post information on their SNS, such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, et cetra. Since it can be spread very quickly all over the world, many people might not realize the 'truth', or the 'true intention' and they continue sharing the 'fake information' to someone else and it will spread out even more. 'Kony 2012' is one of the best examples of fake advocacies, Even though the 'Kony 2012' video contains some factual information, the true intention is actually also contained in the video. The fact that Jason Russel, who was in charge of the entire project, tried to help the African kids should be applauded, but what he wanted was money. The majority of the fund raised by the people was spent to make more viral videos to make more money and Russel took a significant part of the fund.

Although there are a few major negative factors, there are a lot of positive factors, too. One of them is that it can be spread really quickly. A lot of people share information and their status via SNS. And SNS played a very remarkable role in Arab Spring. Many people in the Middle East expressed their feeling on their SNS to let other people from other countries know what is going on and to protest against their government. Even though the Egyptian government tried to block it, but it was too late. As a result, the government was brought down and the dictatorship ended in Egypt. This influenced many other countries in the Middle East and affected the their citizens in many ways and resulted in uprising.

SNS can also help people build strong relationship among their friends and many other people. People can post their photos and their status on their SNS and others can look at it and leave some comments and communicate each other even though they live far away from each other. They can maintain constant interaction and communication regardless of their physical locations. By doing this, people can extend their experience and mingle with many friends online.

In conclusion, I firmly think that even though the negative effects of SNS do exist and cannot be ignored, SNS do more good than harm due to the reasons that I listed above. However, there are a considerable amount of people who are on facebook, or twitter now and some are being cyberbullied even while you are reading this essay. Therefore we need to be aware of those negative effects and make sure we do not get involved in those areas.                          (556 Words)

Ode to My First Phone

28th July 2012

Dear my first phone,

Hi, how are you doing these days? I hope you still remember me. I still remember the days that I spent with you. I really miss you.

I was really proud of myself when I had you, which was three years ago. I got you for my 11th birthday present from my parents. You were the latest phone from Samsung at that time. Your official name was Samsung UFO Phone. All my school friends were jealous of me because of you. I really liked the attention. The only disappointing thing about you was that you did not have a touch screen. Nevertheless, I used you for a year and a half. 10 days before my family moved to China, I accidently put you in a washing machine. Forgive me!!! That was the first time in my life that I went through a panic attack. And that was how we broke up.

After I moved to Beijing, he first phone I used was the LG Cookie. It was very revolutionary because it had a touch screen. Though the touch sensitivity was not very good, it was still usable and the design was decent. I used it for two years, but the phone screen got cracked by somehow so I had to buy a new phone.

Since my dad works for Samsung, I bought the Galaxy S2, which was the best android phone available a year ago. It was extremely better than the Cookie. The operating system of the Galaxy S2 was Gingerbread 2.3. It was my lady. I bought her more than 10 cloths, also known as phone cases. Though she was absolutely outstanding, I was very furious because the Galaxy Note came out one month later an my dad bought it right away. Anyways, I seriously could not live a day without the Galaxy S2. With my gorgeous Galaxy, I always showed off to my friends.

After living in Beijing for two years, our family moved to Tianjin. I kept using the Galaxy S2 for one more year. Finally the next generation of the Galaxy S series came out, the Galaxy S3, in two different colors, pebble blue and marble white. Even though I still liked the S2, I could not suppress my strong desire to buy the sensational S3. I persuaded my parents for a week and it was achieved. I am 100% sure that you would also be absolutely amazed by the awesome Galaxy S3. I think it has a special power that attracts everyone cunningly. Currently, it is no exaggeration to say that the Galaxy S3 is my life and everything to me, All my personal data and privacy are on my phone. Basically, it is my compact computer, but with a smaller screen.

Don't feel small in front of them. No matter how much I love them, or how good they are, you will always remain as the first and the most memorable mobile phone I have ever had in my entire life. I really miss you.

Sincerely Yours,

Jae Kim

Vrai ou Faux? True or False?

1) My family moved to the capital of China, Beijing, in 2009. In the first year, I found China really disgusting. However, I soon realized that Beijing is actually one of the best cities in the world. Everything is cheap and it is very easy to buy fake products. I went to Dulwich College Beijing for 2 years and I moved to Tianjin a year ago. My current school is called, 'Wellington College International Tianjin'.

2) My favorite bands are Green Day and Busker Busker. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, I have almost every single album of Green Day, such as American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown, Nimrod, Bullet in a Bible and Dookie. Also, I have every single song from Busker Busker. Interestingly, Green Day and Busker Busker are very different from each other in many ways.

2) My favorite football club is Manchester City, also known as Man City. This year is probably the happiest year for both the club and I because we won the Premier League, and it is out first league title for forty-four years. My favorite player in Man City is Darren Fletcher, whose position is middle field. I am 100% sure Man City will do well next year and  hopefully win the League. Superbia in Praelia! (FYI it is the Man City's slogan, which mean 'Pride in Battle')
