#2 King Kong








  One thing that comes up as a America's symbol is King Kong. This movie series have played several times before and I could often see it on TV in Korea. And the memory about King Kong is still the strongest because I was little when I saw the movie first. The best scene that I impressed was to be King Kong on the Empire State Building.  It was really fresh watching King Kong on the highest building in the world.  Moreover, the movie expressed real love between the King Kong and a woman and when King Kong was killed, I cried too much. T.T  

That is why King Kong is America's symbol to me. ;)







See link below.

 My first language is Korean and second one is English. When I was little, I fought a lot to learn texts and meanings of Korean. Korean has many meanings to one word and also includes a lot of meanings of Chinese characters. I think learning Korean, even adults, can be difficult. Moreover, I was a rather slow learner and had to try much more than others. Nevertheless, English was not. I don't remember about how I had an interest in English for the first time, but I felt so much fun learning about English from when I was a elementary student. Of course, English education of Korea focuses on grammar and vocabulary. So, many korean people weak a lot to different parts except grammar and vocabulary. I also was not excepted. My English grades from middle school to high school were not bad and I started to have a goal going study abroad at that time. For this reason, I could come to U.S. and study at college. As time goes on, I feel English is also as difficult as Korean, especially writing. My ability of writing is not bad and I heard several times praises about my writing in Korea. However, compositions that I write in English are really awkward because I write a composition as Korean expressions and expressions of English are limited and sentence order is totally different comparing Korean as well. Due to these problems, my composition becomes simpler and I use in the compositions only skilled expressions to me. Also, when I even use social networks like Facebook and Cyworld, Korean network, I write in Korean. Feeling a responsibility about it, I have to try writing in English everything for my English skills.
