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.

This Boring Post I Made a Long Time Ago 3

Have you noticed that at some nonprofit hospitals overprice the cost of some things such as CT scans, X-rays, and diabetes test strips? As stated in the main article in the TIME magazine issued on March 4, 2013, this problem may let those hospitals rob a lot of money from you. For example, a patient was charged $333.00 for a chest scan. Medicare makes you pay $23.83. Another patient was charged $24.00 for a 500-mg tablet of niacin. Drugstores sell the same thing at $20.00 —for a pack of 400 of them.  Sometimes, they even charge you for ridiculous things such as the reusable gown the patient uses and the blanket covering him or her, or the make you take more of a thing than needed (a patient was charged $31.00 for using the gown and $32.00 for the blanket). You even need to pay to mark a place using a pen (the same patient paid $3.00 for it). If any of you out there reading this know the answer to this, or would like to discuss about this, please comment!  The magazine issu...

Loser

Loser Have you ever lost something very valuable to you? Unfortunately, I have lost many things, including something that I considered “priceless to me”. It was worth almost $100, and what’s more, it was my life savings. That day was horrible, especially when my mom said I did not care at all about it. One day, out of the blue, my mom told me that we were going to the shopping mall. I asked if I could buy whatever I wanted. My mom said that I could, as long as I pay for it with my own money. I was overjoyed! I absentmindedly put my whole life savings in the front pocket of my school bag and walked with my parents in the subway. I kept a good eye on my money. Very soon, we got to our destination. “63 rd Drive, Rego Park. Transfer is available to the – M – and – R – lines. The next stop is 67 th Street,” the artificial voice on the loudspeaker said. We hurried up the escalators and ran to the mall. As we browsed around, my mom bought many things. I looked for interesting thin...
