My Favorite Food

          One of my favorite foods is “galbi”(갈비), a Korean barbequed short ribs. I like it because it is very healthy, delicious, and memorable.
          Galbi is very healthy because it uses many good ingredients such as lean meat, garlic, kiwi, and Korean soy sauce. In these ingredients, there are low amounts of fat, calories, and sodium. There are also many nutrients and antioxidants, including calcium, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C. There is a chemical that eliminates hunger, which can help with weight loss.
          Galbi is very delicious. When it is put on the grill, the sizzling sound and the scrumptious smell tempt me to eat it right away. A pang of deliciousness fills my mouth as soon as I put it. I like it so much that I can eat a lot of it until I’m full.
          To me, galbi is memorable. I went to South Korea two months ago for the first time in over nine years. There, I ate galbi with my relatives at my uncle’s house. His family made some of it and we all ate together. It was an unforgettable time because it was my first true memory about Korea. Besides in Korea, back home I ate galbi with some of my friends when we went camping or had playdates. Eating galbi reminds me of my relatives and friends because I ate it many times with them.
          Galbi is a healthy and delicious food. It will always be one of my favorite foods. I also think it will be a favorite food among other Koreans and non-Koreans for many years to come. In addition, it has taught me an important lesson: too much of a good thing is bad. When I ate too much galbi, the doctor said my cholesterol levels became too high and I had to stop eating it for a while. Thus, galbi is always going to have a special place in my heart.

Want A Pet?

Want a Pet?           Would you like to own a pet? I would want a pet dog or cat because they remind me of good friends. However, they would need to meet certain requirements, such as being hypoallergenic and friendly. I would love this kind of pet.           I used to have a best friend named Joshua about 5 years ago. We lived directly across from each other and played a lot together. We played new games and old every day from right after school to when we had to sleep, and we often ate together. We even sometimes went together to fun places like amusement parks and water parks. He had 4 cats that were really nice, but I was allergic to them. My mom had to give me allergy medicine every time I went over to his house. When I had a mild allergic reaction to them, it was very annoying, especially if I was playing. I would like to have a cat like Joshua’s except it will have to be hypoallergenic. Such a cat will remind me of what a great friend Joshua was.           Another

George Washington   When I think about what a person I admire was like, I think of a brave, determined, loyal, hardworking, or important person. One of the people I admire the most was George Washington. He was a great leader, and he was courageous, determined, and loyal. He affects my life in several ways. Washington was a great leader because he led the United States to independence. He controlled a huge army and led them to victory, despite the fact that it was huge. Another reason he was a great leader was that after the war, he governed the   whole   United States as president. He was so excellent that everyone wanted him to serve three terms, even though he only wanted to serve two. Washington was also courageous, determined, and loyal. He wasn’t afraid to go to war. He even tried to fight a country stronger than America! Another reason he had those character traits was that even though at first the U.S. was losing the Revolutionary War, Washington didn’t give

The Y2K “Catastrophe” and My Fear

The Y2K “Catastrophe” and My Fear           On December 31, 1999, almost every computer owner in the world panicked. Why? They believed that the shifting of the first two digits of the year would confuse the computers and make them crash. This belief had existed ever since computers were programmed, and to stop people’s fear, I would have tried to convince them that their computers wouldn’t crash just because of having to change two digits. As for me, this reminds me of the time when I was really scared of something but ended up liking it: a steep amusement park ride.           When the shift to the year 2000 came, people feared that the change from _ _99 to _ _00 would confuse computers and crash them. Most people probably thought the ascending order of the last two digits would be “disrupted” and make the computers think the date is “19100,” “1900,” or other years. Even the government was afraid. However, I would have told them that changing two digits wouldn’t cause a m
