Station #2 7. Write a story about what it would be like if you woke up one morning with wings.

I woke up in the morning with nothing special. Like normal, I washed my face, brushed my teeth in my sleepy mode. I took my clothes out of closet and started wearing. When I was changing the T-shirt, I felt something strange on my back. I felt suspicious. I checked the mirror and discovered that there was a pair of wings on my back. I felt like fainting but somehow, I felt awesome. I tried to cover my wing up with my clothes because I could not use it yet. After schools, I started practice to try flying with my wings.

I jumped up and down repeating myself. I flipped my arms hard as I could. I got dirt all on myself trying to work on my brand new pair of wing. As I practiced, I found out that if I want to fly, I had to imagine how light myself can be. Then, I would be able to use my wings correctly. I now practiced on and on whenever i thought of it and anytime in my leisure time. I did not bother looking at homework neither a book. I was so into the flying I could not concentrate on anything.

Later, I could fly just like normal birds. Landing was the most difficult task in flying, but I have mastered it in few months. Now I could fly anywhere I want. I did not have to pay bus fee neither needed my mom's drive. I also got many attentions from people. Many people took my photographs of flying and upload it in the internet. Finally, I became top 1 in search and became famous. Many stars came to see me i curiosity and I was allowed to work in TV programs. WIng made me become a celebrity.

Open the bag in curiosity, but only increases the passion to eat ice-cream. The weather of hot sunny days makes you sweat and eager to eat cold food. 2. Bread: Bought just baked bread. It feels warm and soft. You smell the sweet bread smell that makes you eager to have a piece. However, we need it for our sandwich. I also have extra butter to spread the yellow delicious butter on the warm sweet bread. I remember of going to my relative’s bakery house. 3. Hot Chocolate: I smell the smell of sweet and black from the cup. It reminds me of the chocolate factory our school visited for field trip. I felt the warm chocolate in my body whenever I drink hot chocolate. The warmness in my hand holding the cup makes me calm and relaxed

Essay Seung Shin 7A

<We are increasingly worried about our environment. Write an essay explaining about one environmental problem you think is important and propose some possible solutions to the problem>.

Imagine the Statue of Liberty burning from the direct UV light from the sun. Issues over the environmental problem have been brought up in modern society. Many scientists are worried about the future environment. Some researchers have a demonstration on saving the earth against people. Environmental problem, especially global warming has frightened much population however, most of the populations are not trying to save the earth even though they do know the problem. When it comes to the topic, I strongly insist on saving the earth especially from global warming.

First of all, global warming is an issue that human-beings have brought to the earth. The dictionary definition of ‘Global Warming’ is referred as an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from a green house effect. The main cause of the problem is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide from our body, cars, factories (power plants), etc produce most of the carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide leads the green house effect which thickens the ozone layer. Therefore the sunlight comes into the earth however cannot escape because of the thick ozone. Then, the sunlight travels the earth, warming up the earth. Later on for result, some scientists say ozone will be destroyed and earth will get UV light directly. On the other hand, some scientists insist the warm temperature would lead to ice age which is both true but unpredictable what would occur first.

One cannot deny that if all the population tries to reduce the production of CO2, there is a chance to avoid global warming. First, simple solution for global warming is to reduce carbon dioxide from our cars. Cars are the main factors leading to the global warming which many people refuse to believe. Cars produce the most CO2 in earth. People do really have to decrease the amount of time of car ride. People have to use public transportation like buses, subway and so on. In addition, people need to ride bikes or transportation which only energy is needed.

It is also clear that second most carbon dioxide provider is factories and power plants. Factories produced CO2 most from the energy, fossil fuel they use. One factory does produce CO2 same amount as 100 cars. However, the numbers of factories are increasing rapidly. Therefore, it has not produced as much as the cars however, it had produced great amount of CO2. Solution for the factories is only to reduce or use another source of energy perhaps solar power or water. Or else, it is to decrease the number of factories which is not really possible at all.

Power plants and automobiles are one of the most threatening causes of the global warming. We all have to decrease the amount of usage to save or rebuild clean environment in earth. Saving our earth from our damage is our responsibility to get our earth back. Like in movie ‘The day the earth stood still’, humans have to be destroyed from earth unless we have our eath back by ourselves.
