Ode to my tree

Tree, my tree, I really value you.
You are tall and big
Tree, my tree, you make me feel comfortable
You make shade for me to rest and cuddle

You are huge and strong
I can climb up on you and play
You are nice and kind
I can get fruit and berries from you

An ode to leaves
An ode to fruit
An ode to berries
An ode to root

Tree, you are helpful
You let humans to make something out of you
Tree, you are helpful
You let animals to stand on you

Tree, my path to be free from studying
Tree, my feeling of glee from playing
Tree, my choice to agree on something
Tree, my way to flee away from studying

Descriptive Essay-My role Model

     Do you know the 8th UN secretary general? He was chosen by the UN secretaries to continue his job as the general. I chose him as my role model because I want to be a diplomat like him and I really like his effort. His name is Ban-Ki-Moon. He graduated Harvard university. He started his job as the general in October, 2006. Before then, he worked as a diplomat in Korea.

        By his achievement, you can know his diplomatic abilities. After graduating the university, Ban received the top score on Korea's foreign service exam. He joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May 1970, and worked his way up the career ladder. Ban became actively involved in issues relating to inter-Korean relationships. In September 2005, as Foreign Minister, he played a leading role in the diplomatic efforts to adopt the Joint Statement on resolving the North Korean nuclear issue at the Fourth Round of the Six-party talks held in Beijing.  
     
     I admire him because of the two reason. First, I want to be a diplomat in the future and he is the most famous and smart diplomat. Second, he's high effort is very admirable. I want to try hard like him and achieve my goal. This is why Mr. Ban is my role model.

Narrative Essay-The Most memorable lesson that I learned

        I'm not good at learning something. It takes a lot of time for me to understand something new. When I was learning English, I was totally shocked by these weird alphabets. While learning English, I learned one more thing. Also, I got more interested learning Western Culture.

        When I  was in 5th grade, I went to Canada to study English. I went to the public school in Canada. At then, I was really bad at English. I couldn't speak to the Canadians. I thought that I will have a lot of problem if I don't learn to speak English. My English abilities started to gain. When I improved in English, I became closer with my Canadian friends.
        
         Before going to Canada, my English was poor. However, my English improved very much during the stay in Canada. I learned that if I try my best, I can achieve faster. The stay in Canada made me actually realize this. I think if you try hard, nothing is impossible.
