5 years ago, I had really hard time to adapt to Korea. Since I never lerned Korean or didn't live, everythings were new to me. At first I couldn't even read Korean as much as right now. Even parent is Korean I couldn't write any words. The words seems like nonsense language to me. Also I didn't like Korean foods too. Especially kimchi taste so bad, it was too strong me duing that time. It smells some garlics and other things other things that makes taste more spicy. Because of those things were a lot of stress. But few month after I was famiaral with writing Korean and adapt with spicy food. I naturally learned Korean!

Have to use time wisely

My weakness is using time wsely. Even I plan the schedule I can't follow and it leads me to rush. I always repeat this pattern over and over again. Since I have to do howmework with computer, I can't focus my work and doing othr things. After I look the time and realized I have to do homework. I always finish my homework very late also not good quality. I think almost all the students weakness is this. However I keep trying to practice time management. It might take a little longer but someday I believe I solve the problem.

Choose one of the events and add setting and dialogue. Adapt to Korea

5 years ago, I had really hard time to adapt to Korea. Since I never learned Korean or didn't live, everything was new to me. At first I couldn't even read Korean as much as right now. Even parent is Korean I couldn't write any words. The words seems like nonsense language to me. And Korean people's voies were so loud, if I go restaurant they chatt very loud and even they shouted. It disturbed a lot (most of them were old ladies). Also I didn't like Korean foods too. Especially kimchi taste so bad, it was too strong to me. It smells some garlics and other things that makes taste more spicy. My grandmother likes to ripping kimchi and she always put kimchi in to my mouth with her hand. When I touch the kimchi it was slippery and cool but I didn't like it. Whenever I eat dinner with my cousin they always told me, " You should eat some spicy food if you are Korean. And kimchi is healthy on your body." Because of those things were a lot of stress. But few month after I was familiar with writing Korean, adapted with spicy food, and others. I naturally adapt to Korea!
