Answer for Question # 2 - My Dream Job

After graduating from a university in Korea, I had a job for several years. I worked in the company that produced the purified chemicals and sold them to a semiconductor company, such as Samsung and LG. It satisfied me a little, but I usually felt unhappy because paperworking and using a computer that repeated every day made me bored and exhausted. At last, I decided to quit my job and continue my study.

I am going to study Pharmacy after attending ALP and getting enough TOEFL score. I have not decided if I study it here or in Korea yet. It depends on many things like English skills, family, health, marriage, money, etc. Anyhow, my second job will be a pharmacist or a professor.

If I could choose another job, a dream job, I would like to be a musical actress since I really love an active musical and beautiful live songs. I always remember watching the musical "Cats" with my friend in winter. We were so impressed at that time. If I could be a musical actress, I would meet many people and work together with pleasure. Furthermore, the empathy with various roles in musicals would make me very happy. Unfortunately, I am not such a good singer, so I know that it is just my dream job.

My uncle's wedding~~~

My aunt and I went to downtown LA for my uncle's wedding today. Although he is just three years older than me, I should call him "Uncle" because his father is my grandfather's younger brother. Before the wedding ceremony began, we took some pictures with close relatives. The ceremony in the church was so wonderful, and the couple looked very lovely and happy. After it finished, we had a lot of Korean food and enjoyed the reception. I prayed that the bride and the groom would always respest each other and do their best to make brilliant future.

On the way home, my aunt suddenly suggested to drop by her friend's house. When we saw her, we were warmly welcomed. She wanted to have dinner with us, but we couldn't because we already had a lot. Instead, we drank some coffee. It was dark outside when we were about to leave there.

We were a bit tired when we arrived at home. My aunt is relaxing in the sofa and watching TV. I am going to check out my homework and think about tomorrow's schedule. These days, I am worried that I don't have enough time to study my major, but I won't push myself. If I am stressed out, I cannot do anything. I know that I need to look on the bright side and take time in studying now. I am telling myself "Hang in there!".

Answer for question# 1

When I arrived at LAX, I was so tired of the long trip. On my way to my aunt's house, I was surprised at strange scenery and weather. There are not many tall buildings, except for downtown LA. Moreover, it was too hot and dry. The most surprising thing is that I can see Spanish everywhere althouhg I already knew that there are many Hispanic people in California. Most people drive a car, so there are usually a few pedestrians on the street. It is very different from Korea!

I missed my family, my freinds, and delicious food made by my mother especially when I didn't feel so good and I was sick. The thing that I miss very much these days is beautiful and cool Fall in Korea. I realized that I should thank God for giving four seasons to Korea. Sometimes, I want to put on a wool sweater and a thick jacket.

Nevertheless, there are several things that I love about living in California. First, it is very quiet, so I can pay attention to my study. Driving a car here is easier than in big cities in Korea. Sometimes, I get frustrated with heavy traffic, but I usually feel comfortable with driving. I also like spacious parking lots. Meeting friends from different countries and cultures makes me happy. They inspire me every day, and I learn many things from them. Finally, I love to get various experience like opening my account in a bank, going to American church, visiting Saint Jude Hospital, and having a short trip to Dallas alone. I believe that it helps me to be brave and be proud of myself. I hope that I will find another interesting things soon.

@@TOEFL@@
