Dear Teacher Paula, Happy Sunday! It is raining now here, and I feel a little cold. What are you doing now? I guess you are having a wonderful time with your family. In my case, I don't like a rainy day, so I am stuck at home. Today, somehow, I don't feel like studying, so I watched several movies and variety shows until now. I got a little fed up with those, so I am now doing my homework. In addition, I think I will have no time to do my homework in my working time tomorrow. Because of my absence last Friday, I might have to deal with a lot of tasks next Monday. Just thought of it is a little scaring me. Hahaha! Anyway, have a terrific time with your family during the rest of the weekend. See you tomorrow. *Essay In our country, KTX is the quickest mean of transportation on the ground. With KTX, I can reach Busan from Seoul in about two hours only. I can even say that KTX can be substituted for airplane. A few years ago, when there was no KTX, I used to get on a train named Saemaul to reach Busan, and it took almost 5hours to get there. Compared to the KTX, Saemaul train was so slow.

Dear [이름],

 

Happy Monday! ^.^

 

I would like to say sorry first for not checking your composition last weekend.

I was so busy. Hahaha! ^^

You were right that I had a good time with my family.

I had some great and enjoyable time with them on both Saturday and Sunday.

But, that\'s not all.

I also met one of my female friends.

I met her yesterday at 8 o\'clock in the evening.

We had some rice, Pancit (which is a Filipino style of Chapchae) and hotdog.

Hahaha! It was just a very simple and short dinner with her.

She got full easily.

In addition, because she ate her meal very fast, her stomach went crazy. Hahaha! ^^

I think you know what I mean.

However, even though it was a terrific Sunday for me, it wasn\'t still complete.

It is because I didn\'t buy my watch\'s bracelet or strap. T.T

I think it was because of my laziness.

 

Anyhow, everything went fine still, so that is a wonderful thing that I should be thankful for. ^^,

 

Anyway, about your composition, I just have a question.

Is KTX used around South Korea?

 

That\'s all for now! ^^

See you very soon! ^^,

 

... Teacher Paula ... ^.~
