My Father

If you asked me who is the person that has made a difference on me, I will say that is my father. I am very like my father because he is helpful of my studying everything on my mind. He speaks good Korean. He is a professor in University of ShenYang. When I had the midterm or final test, he always reviewed my lessons for me, so that my grades were very good. Sometimes he sent a lot of money for us and 1 time he bought the new house for us. When I was sick in China, he bought the medicine for me,and hoped I would get well quickly. My father is also willing to help others, he helped his students who met sad things. In order to let me study in US university, he was worried that my English is good or not. He often asked my mother in the telephone if I passed my TOEFL. After I did well on it, and I told my father, he was very happy and told me study very hard. My father always tells me that I need to study hard and do the housework by myself. Sometimes he told me to be hard-working, and don't lie down the bed every morning, and read English and Korea loudly, so that improves my memory. Last year,I came back to China,he let me drive car in his university.

A Memorable Event in My Life

My memorable experience happened during the summer vacation. I had an exciting boat tour under the Niagara Falls. Last summer, I had a chance to visit the famous Niagara Falls, and we took a special boat tour under the Niagara Falls. It was so exciting when our boat went near the Falls. We put on raincoats and looked up at the great Falls. The sounds of the water were just like thounder, The water made us wet all over. Everyone on the boat was busy taking pictures, laughing, and shouting at the Falls. I was so excited to watch the Niagara Falls in near distance. You could feel the beautiful falls just together with you, so I liked Niagara Falls very much. I'll never forget the wonderful Niagara Falls, it is one of the memorable events in my life.

A Person Who Has Made a Difference--My Mother

If you asked me who is the person who has made a difference in my life, I will say that is my mother. I am proud of my mother because she is capable of almost anything. She speaks good English, cooks good dishes, works very hard and is always ready to help others. My mother was a manager in a big U.S. company in China, She also gave a lot of lectures in many universities and got good pay. In order to give me a good education in the US, she gave up her loved job. My mother and I met a lot of difficulties when we first came to the US. But she worked very hard, and overcame the difficulties one by one. For example, driving the car was very difficult, I can't remember how many times we lost our way. I learned from my mother that everything is possible if we work hard. My mother is always ready to help others. In the US, she helped many others who don't know much English. Every time we take the airplane from China to the US, she always helps others to fill in the form, do the translation, and show them the way. Also, we have a friend who had a big quarrel with her husband, and my mother tried her best to solve their conflict. My mother often tells me, it is always a great pleasure if you can help others. I believe it is true and I learned to do that. I feel very happy when I open the door for others, and hear them say "thank you!"

My favorite place

If I could visit anywhere in the World, I would go and visit the White House in Washing DC. Because it is the center of US and the place where the US president works or lives. In June, we had joined a tourist group to visit the eastern coast cities, such as New York, Washing, DC, philadaphie and Sherly Chocolate World, and Niagara Falls. But we didn't have the chance to go inside of the White House. My favorite place is Niagara Falls. We watched beautiful Falls from the top, took a boat at the Bottom of Niagara Falls. We walked along Goat Island of the Niagara Falls, and took many pictures.This is a happy trip that I'll always remember.
