(my essay 3) theme-driver,careful,bus,building,sign, violation,gun,smoking,tattoo,snake

1. driver

As soon as I joined Samsung company, my father bought me a used car Le Mans. I was so happy that I drove into town on my own without training. I was a fearless driver. I think I've been driving a car without any major accident. Car seems to have given me great comfort and happiness in my life

 

2. careful

My wife and I got married in 1997 by my aunt's introduction. We fought hard on our honeymoon. The reason for this is that we fought over a marked difference in character. I make a rather bold and quick decision but my wife is more careful and too thoughtful. My wife and I have fought over alcohol and personality difference for 25 years but I feel lovely and sorry for her. I should be a husband who can bring joy to my wife for the rest of my life

 

3. Bus

Buses are public transportation along with subways. The advantage of buses is that we have low transportation costs. These days, we went a little faster in a bus due to road reform but  arrived at our destination much later than the subway. The subway goes undergroud, so we feel stuffy, but we can go by bus while looking at the surrounding scenery of the city. Bus reminds me of the leisure of the life

 

4. Building

The buildings have developed in various ways. During the Joseon Dynasty, most of them are thatched houses and tiled houses. Ordinary people lived in thatched houses and rich aristocrats lived in tiled houses. The shape of the houses has changed in morden times. The poor people live in slum, the middle class live mainly in apartment and the rich of chaebol live in great houses Buildings are classified as wealth and are symbols of wealth

 

5. Sign

I sometimes thought of Seoul without a road sign. Can we drive on the road ? Of course we can go to the intersection if the traffic police control it. But it isn't easy to find a destination. Another thing is, what would happen if there were no signboard and restaurant signs in the building ? We can see that signs are more important than we think. On the one hand, it's also the main culprit of urban environmental pollution

 

6. violation

Law and regulations are mainly made by the National Assembly and the administration. These are created by necessity in that time. What is important here is that there should be no partiality in the application of law. Will the people be able to trust the goverment if it gives exemptions of violation of law at the will of the powerful. The law should be for the people, not for the president

 

7. Gun

Gun entered our country through Japan during the japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was mainly used as a weapon with bows and arrows or spears and swords. Guns were groudbreaking at the time, a simple and easy to kill weapon. The gun is loaded with bullets, which can shoot poeple from a long distance. Nowdays, laser guns are being developed instead of bullets guns

 

8. smoking

I didn't think about smoking when I was in middle and high school. After entering university, I started smoking and when I joined army, I smoked about a pack of cigarette. When I joined company, I became more stressed and smoked over a pack of cigarettes. I ended up having a heart attack and quitting smoking. Smoking is main culprit of lung cancer and heart attack, and stopping smoking is recommended  for your health

 

9. tattoo

Tattooes are popular among young people these days. The secret of popularity is the desire to emphasize individuality and express one's own world. In the past, people who joined mainly oragnized violent group tried to express a strong image with dragon or tiger tottoos. Tattooes of animals were used to represent a strong warrior in prehistoric times. The times have changed objects, subjects and intentions of tattooes

 

10. snake

Snake remain a negative image to me. Snake are gross in appearance and poisonous snakes can kill people. In the old days, snakes were an object of food and an important source of health. When you go to oriental medicine restaurant, They can brag about their health with snake alcohol. It allows us to understand the relative perspective of humans through snake
