  6. Hi I am jimi in 9 class.
    A family event that I recently attended is my cousin's wedding ceremony. In there, I have met a new cousin that I have never met. So, I was strained. And I met aunts and uncle that I sometimes met after entering university.
    My cousin is a little more handsome than me.
    So he is very very handsome on that day. He is a public servant. And his wife is a high school teacher. So I envied their economic stabilization. In there, students of my cousin's wife sang a congraturation song and my cousin bowed deeply his wife's mother. That looked funny but structive event. Nowadays most wedding ceremony's menu is buffet. So I eat many kinds of foods. A traditional menu is korean party noodle. And because I don't have a complete suit. So I weared a clean clothes. Very good

    Whenever I see wedding ceremonies, I feel beautiful and wonderful about them.
    She wore a wedding dress and Hanbok.
    And, her husband wore a suit and Hanbok.
    She was very beautiful and, her husband was so handsome.
    They were married in a buffet restaurant.
    I ate many delicious foods there.
    I had meat, fruits, and noodles.
    My most memorable food was yukhoe. Yukhoe is a korean-style raw beef.
    The wedding was very funny because his friends were kidding, presiding over the ceremony.
    My most memorable kidding was that one of his friends took his bride.
    This fun make many guests funny.
    Bye Bye Owen. Have a good day.

  13. My name is Gabriel and my class number is 11.
    I attended my cousin brother's wedding. Then, I saw just opening of the wedding. When my cousin brother entered wedding hall with his wife, I went to buffet. Because officiant's message is very boring. And I met my another cousin brother at buffet. Then, I said just "Hello.", and only ate many foods. I ate steak, sushi, and many fruits like watermelon and tropical fruits. I thought that there are also many foods on buffet. They were very delicious. So, I like to go to wedding. And I am not child. So, I must wear a suit. But I don't have a suit. So, I just wore y-shirts, and black pants. Other people wore also a suit or dress.

  17. Hello, Owen. This is Choi (최정원) in class 5.

    I have recently attended wedding ceremony for my senior man who graduated from the same university. whenever I attend that kinds of event like wedding, It always feels like I want to get married. It was so great chance to meet other senior and junior people. It had been nearly 2~5 years since we last met each other, so we were so delighted to make conversation together. After the wedding, I enjoyed buffet, so I had a variety of sea food for lunch. During the event, I took pictures of me and friends, saw the performance that groom did. I wore suit and my friends wore suit as well, because they are expected to wear formal clothes in Korea when they participate in those events. I had a lot of fun and it was interesting.

  18. Hi professor. My name is Shen Dan qi(심단기), majored in international trade. I'm in class 11.
    I attended a wedding just months ago when my dear cousin got married.
    Even though we both are the only child of our families but we are as intimate as related sisters. When she found her happiness, I would feel happier than her.
    We arrived at her house at 6 a.m. that day and from then on, many ceremonies would be held for the new couple. Such as finding one of bride’s shoes, serving tea for their parents and so on.
    Our families witnessed those extremely wonderful moments. Of course, I also had a very good time with my sister‘s friends and my brother-in-law’s family and his friends. And there were so many kinds of delicious food that I even didn’t know how to choose. This was very precious memory that I cherish and I wish nothing but the best for her.

  19. Hello Owen~
    I'm Lynn(김혜린) in class 1.
    This week topic is about family.
    but I don't meet family since 2012.3 because I don't go home.
    So I write the story I experienced to wedding.
    This happened when my cousin got married. My cousin was so beatiful and I surprised. I met many cousins and various people. I talked their and laugh. They were flawlessly dressed.
    However people concentrated the groom's father hair style. because his hair style is very long and colorful. so people was so laugh.
    I think he is very unique and I never act him.
    After the wedding, I had lunch with my family talking about the groom's father. My eyes turned to him while eating delicious food.
    My story the end~
    Bye Owen we meet next class~

  20. Hi Professor Owen, I'm Jason in class 10(Ki hyun Yoo)
    Recently, I went to hospital to see grandfather. It was kind of family meeting because every relatives came to let our grandfather take a walk in the arboretum. My grandfather is too old to walk and speak. And my mother said that It might be the last chance to go out for grandfather. Even if I also go out for having fun with family at that time, It was not happy but rather pity. And I had something special food that you probably have not ate. I ate small alive octopuses with pepper source. It was first time for me. It was a bit disgusting but I tried. It was good enough. If I have a chance later to eat alive octopus again, It has to be better cut alive octopus into pieces.

  22. Hi Owen. I'm taylor in class 1.
    when my dear cousin got married I attended a wedding maybe three years ago.
    Because groom is old bachelor.I really congratulated him on his marriage.
    The groom looked great in a tuxedo, also the bride looked great in a wedding dress.
    The faces of the bride and groom were radiant at their wedding. They seem really happy.
    When I saw The bride and groom, I want to marry someone.
    I saw ceremonies. The groom gave three cheers at the wedding.
    Then the wedding reception, we had a buffet style lunch, which was also very good.

    In Korea, I think that The best man or bridesmaids not exist in wedding
    So many people wore simple clothes except The bride and groom, The bride and groom's parents.

    Last Sunday was my mom's birthday.
    I didn't have enough money to buy her a present so I got money from my dad and bought a tumbler. It was a little bit expensive because it's brand was Starbucks.
    We had a birthday party with our family including my aunts and relatives at my aunt's food restaurant.
    She is managing the roast duck restaurant. I was very happy as my mom was feeling very good. I ate a lot because I heard that the roast duck is a diet food.
    My aunt brought a cake so we sang a birthday song.
    All my relatives gave their presents for my mom and she loved all things.
    Eventhough my mom is 50 years old, she felt thankful for us.
    It was a great day!

    Last month. I met many relatives on my mother's side. in detail, only women, aunts and grandma. I have many relatives on my mother's side, 6 aunts and 4 uncles.
    So They ( only aunts, sometimes with men:)) have a meeting once a month. I also attend the meeting sometimes.
    Of course, At Special days like wedding or funeral or birthday, they rent the buffets to enjoy with many people.
    Anyway, last month, although it was not special day, we did many things. we watched movie, went to Japan's sushi restaurant, went shopping at the department. So all of them wore new clothes around here and there.
    my mother and aunts are old. but they took grandmother for a walk once a month anywhere. grandma's big smile..When I reminded that time, grandma's big smile still spun through my mind. the image of them is very impressing to me. It waw very very happy day!.
    anyway I often want to meet them. :)

  28. Hello. I'm Younghoo Lee (class no.1)

    Last year, I went to a musical concert with my friend. I had suggested to her that we go to there. And she was pleased to watch the singers, so did I. On that day, we were supposed to meet in front of Olympic park station. So we met and arrived at the concert hall. We had no time to eat dinner, so she bought some snacks and 김밥. And we ate at there before starting concert. Upon starting concert, we were excited and shouted. Whenever we were watching stars, we imagined the situation we were dating singers.After coming to an end of concert, we returned home respectively. Its experience was interesting. So I will go another concert if I have a concert ticket related to my favorite singer.

  35. I participate in wedding for my uncle. The wedding is so special, because there’s a worship to God. In the past, my uncle was not chiristian and I couldn’t think that he will hold worship for his wedding, But now he is sincere chiristian and I’m glad to.
    I was very envy, because they was couple, then. And I really want to be couple with someone when I achieve my dream. And they looked so release. And I thought that I want to merry with chirstian, too
    I met my pastor, aunt, and another uncle. It was very glad meeting. And I ate restaurant food, for example cake, bul-go-gi, bread, and ricecake so on.
    I saw just worship. some people may think It's very boring, But I thought It was very meaningful and priceless thing. So I was very happy and I put hope about my future.
    I wore my best closes. Although It just T-shirt and pants, I was student, so I chose it very careful. And most of people put on uniform.

    Last year I attended my cousin's wedding. It was hold in a wedding hall and there were so many people. I met my relaives. The wedding ceremony was a typical and modern wedding event. It was not that special and enjoyable to me. It was so crowded that I couldn't feel relaxed. I just saw their main event at a distant. After the wedding, I went to the restaurant in the hall. The foods are consist of buffet meal so I could eat various foods such as Korean food, breads and sushi. Then the event was finished.
    Whenever I go to someone's wedding ceremony, I feel it is too formal. So I hope that wedding events are more enjoyable for people, even for the pride and groom.

    My grandfather reached the age of eighty-one last year. Our family had a party to celebrate his 80th birthday last year in hotel buffet. In Korea, important birthdays to note are: the 100th day, the 1st, 20th, 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays.
    Grandfather and Grandmother were wearing Green traditional Korean clothes. They look beautiful and decent in Korean clothes.
    The buffet offered a plethora of dishes and cuisines from which to choose. Guests should be able to find plenty of food to accommodate their eating preferences in buffet. So, I ate whatever I want. I think he looks too young to be eighty years old. I hope my gradfather will be able to celebrate his 100th birthday.

  48. Hi, teacher.I'm VENUS in class 5.

    I have attended a funeral of maternal grandmother,introduced just six months ago.
    Maternal grandmother is sick in the hospital as long as two years ago.
    Maternal grandmother is 88 years old.
    Her funeral was held in solemnity.
    A funeral hall is located in the outside of Jeon-ju.
    I felt sad and a queer sensation at a funeral hall.
    I was to see my relative after such a long a time in that place.
    I ate steamed rice, meat, skate sashimi and so on.
    This is typical foods of a funeral hall.
    Many people, myself included, get dressed only in black.
    people give a monetary gift for sb's funeral, make a deep bow,
    Just as soon as everyone has arrived at her funeral.

    Have a good weekend, see you owen. Bye-Bye~ ^-^*

    My grandmother recently celebrated her eightieth birthday.
    All our family came to grandmother's eightieth birthday party.
    And the whole village was invited to the party.
    My family was busy bustling about from the early morning preparing for the party.
    I met my cousins and relatives there.
    I wore pretty dress one of my favorites.
    My grandmother attired herself in korean dress.
    Although she's nearly 80, she is still very active.
    All of us joined in a merry feast.
    I'm really glad to see you again after all these years.
    And i haven't had a meal that good in a long time.
    Laughter flowed amidst the family gathering that hadn't met together in a long while.
    The day left me with unforgettable memories.

  53. Last year I attended the funeral for the first time. It's my dad's old brother wife's funeral. She younger than my mother. So more people lamented her death. I was so sad. But the most surprising thing is that two days later, everyone was okay.
    A family member dies, all the relatives gathered around. There are Yukgyejang, rice cakes, nuts, alcohol etc from the funeral. Yukgyejang is main food in the funeral. Almost all of Korea's funeral gives Yukgaejang. The reason I don't know.
    Burned in the last day of the funeral the coffin. The original traditional way is to make the grave.I dressed in black.

  62. Hi Owen.
    This is Hyounsuk Song in you class1.
    last year. I visited a wedding. It was my Aus friend wedding. The groom was my co-worker at Swift meat factory and he from Aus. The bride was also my co-worker at Swift, and she from Korea. I met them in Aus first time. We are still contact each other. When I came to their wedding I was weired because it is global wedding. The groom's parent came to Korea, and they followed Korean traditional wedding. I met many friends who met in Aus. That day, I wanted to stay more, but I also had another appointment, so I had to move. When the wedding finished, I took a picture fastly. and then I went to another place. The people wore almost suit, but Some of people wore the "Hanbuk".
    I couldn't eat anything even drinking water.
    however, Although I couldn't eat anything, I felt good because they looked so lovely~

  68. Hello teacher.
    I'm Maia and my class number is 10.

    Becuase of our school or job, we have to live respectively. So it is difficult to meet all the family members. So I think whenever we meet that is a special day. On 26 May, all the family members had met. And we had gone to Geumsan in Gyeongsangnam-do. It's very hard to climb a mountain, but I had got to the top of a mountain. I had spent about 2hours to just ascend. But top of a mountain is very beautiful. I think I have never seen it before. After that We had gone to beach and had eaten beef and instant noodle. I was very happy to meet all the family members. Even though just one day it is sweet memories.

  70. Hi, I'm Joo in class 5. About two months ago, I heard a shocking news. Grandfather had passed away.


    At that time, my grandfather was having Alzheimer. So he was in the hospital. I visited him almost everytime when I went to GwangJu. And I didn't thought he was having serious disease. Because of that, the time I heard that he was gone, I couldn't believe it.


    I went to funeral next day helding in Chosun Univeristy's funeral hall. Infront of the door, there was uncle looking seriously sad. I saw him for the first time in about 8 years. I wanted to say "hi", but I was awkward to talk with him. So I just got in to the funeral hall.


    There was many relatives that I didn't saw for very long time. I was not talkative person when I was young. Even infront of relatives, I was so shy. So I just waited my uncles to talk to me in the first time. Because of my offension, I wasn't able to get close to them. But I decided to change my personality. So when I got there, I tried to talk much. I said hello to everyone brightly. And then I got in to the room where has portrait of my grandpa.


    First, I bowed in front of the portrait. And then I put chrysanthemum. It was my first time of doing it. So beside me, mom taught me how to do those.


    Though it was really sad situation, the place was not that gloomy. My cousins and I talked how they lived and about there boyfriend and husband things.


    The ceremony was not that blue as that I thought. I miss my grandfather. I hope he is still living happily in heaven.

  74. hi! my name is saemi in class 5.
    I forgot to upload essay on this blog...so I'm late..:(
    I thought everything was almost finish so I didn't need to upload it anymore....:(((((((

    What the event was for (eg. wedding or funeral)
    I went to my cousin's wedding beginning of this year.
    the bride, my cousin, was so beautiful. the wedding dress was perfect for her.
    I had not seen my counsins for a long time so i was so excited to see them and worried about how they thought about me.
    because i have been changed a lot.
    I met almost all my mother side of family.
    and I met my cousin's new wife. they got married last year but i was not in Korea so I couldn't attend their wedding.
    at first, i was so shy and try to hide but later we talked and laughed a lot.
    that day i tried to wear formally, so i wore dress and heel. i want to put on flat shoes but my mother told me to wear heels.
    wearing a clothes for wedding ceremony is always hard.
    after the short wedding ceremory, we ate buffet.
    I like buffet, because i can eat whatever i want.
    sometimes, the food in the wedding hall is not good, but the food in there was reall yammy.
