My Life Until Now
Han Byol Kim
I am a native Korean who was born in a capital city of Korea, Seoul. Except for one fact, I am just a normal Korean. The fact is that I lived longer in abroad than the time I lived in Korea. It was due to my father's work. When I was 2-years-old, my family moved into Guangzhou, China and lived there for about five years. I remember just fragments of my life in Guangzhou. After those five years, we moved into Korea, and lived another five years in Seoul. I spend my elementary years in Korea. I believe it was the essential time that helped me maintains my cultural identity as Korean. However, my family moved into Nanjing, China again. I went to Nanjing International School and after about five years, we settled in Seoul, Korea finally.
I consider my life in abroad as a valuable experience. It was a great opportunity to encounter with various people and their cultures. I can say for certain that if I had never been to China, my life would have been very different from now.
Now, since I came back from Nanjing, I have lived Seoul for about four years. When we came back to Korea, I thought it would be a painstaking job to adapt to Korea, but it was not. I have been enjoying my life in Korea. Sometimes, I dream about going abroad again. However, I know I would always return to Korea.
Hello :D! I'm Song eun Ko.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about this piece of writing is that it has concise style and is easy to understand!
Your main point seems to show some good points about your Chinese-Korean life. These points are stated clearly in the second paragraph. Nice! However the last line is unclear for me to recognize why you wrote it. It seems to need more supporting or following sentences and your essay will be great!!
Hi my name is Hee June, Park. I'm very interested with your writing. The experience of living abroad is expressed well. I like the part "I spend my elementary years in Korea. I believe it was the essential time that helped me maintains my cultural identity as Korean" cause I can imagine your feeling. But "Sometimes, I dream about going abroad again" this part is not clear, because of your saying your life is Korea have been enjoying. Well, if you change that part more clearly, this writing will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is HanByol! I re-write the only last sentence because all the people above mentioned it.

I have been enjoying my life in Korea. However, sometimes I get bored of life in Korea because I am getting used to it. So I dream about going abroad again, seeking new experiences. Nevertheless, I know I would always return to Korea even I go out abroad again. It is because I know Korea is the only country I feel true comfort.
