Is my country a civilization?

I have learned 7 important civilization. Stable food supply, religion, social structure, art, government, technology and writing that is written language. I am going to investigate to see my country has these characteristics.
Stable Food Supply
In Korea, my cultural stable food supply is a soy jar. Ancient people put Kimchi in it because it taste more better to put in refrigerator. They dug a soil and put soy jar in it. Then it will taste like more cultural. Now days many people use Kimchi refrigerator that could taste also good but not really much. Today some grand parents or who lives in country uses still!!!

Religion
We Korean has two religion. One is Christian and another one is Buddhism.There are lots of people believing god but some are not. I am Christian. I went to the church with my family and cousins. Every Sunday we go to church. There are two floors. First floor is for children like prep senior to 6th grade. Second floor is for the adults only. These were seperate because children doesn't know what the adults are saying and it is boring for them so they will be loud when everyone is praying. This is my church that used to go on Sunday.




Art
Korean arts are about the nature. For example they drew mountains and trees. This was because our country is full of mountains and trees about 70% of it. Many artist drew about the nature. Now days everyone drew with a color but ours are drew with a Chinese ink. When they drew if they got any mistakes they throw away the paper and drew another paper. The paper was so thin that it could rip easily.


Government
Korea governments were now Lee Myeong Park. He is now the president. But many people doesn't like him because he doesn't seems like to help other people. So many children swear him. They think that another person will be the president. 





Writing
Korea writing has developed a lot. There once was a Se Jong De Wang. In past we needed to use Chinese characters s it was hard to use it. But he just found it so we could use our language easily. Because of him it is more comfortable. He kept try to invent in our own writing. He could not see his left eye but he kept try but unlucky he passed away.


Technology
Korea technology also improved technology. In the past they needed to walk or ride a horse to inform king, but this was hard because it gets lots of time.But now we could go by a car, airplane and train. Also it invented more faster car that is cost more money. They also could use cellphone that is small so it could go in the pocket. This helps to call someone to meet, work or something. This helps us to become life more comfortable. Maybe on future it could be developed a lot.

 Social Structure
We have 3 classes. that is common class, upper class and slaves. Upper class we had king, priest, government owners. Sometimes if the priest doesn't follow the rules then they will stay in jail. Common class we have fisherman, farmers, sellers. They sell lots of things. For example mirror or candle. Slaves doesn't have any money. If they ran their owners will be very angry. If they found them they will hit them as hard as they could. Most of the slaves died because the owners hit them so hard.

6B Field Trip

It was the field trip before at night I was sleeping but I can't sleep very well because we are going to the field trip. I was so excited to go and my heart was beating so fast. Now it's the field trip day. We was on the bus I was chatting with Nayoung and Linh but the bus is no moving. Just then one person said," KWANG YI IS IN MR. ANDREW'S CLASS!" Then the teachers noticed that Kwang Yi was missing. Anne quickly rushed to get Kwang Yi. When they came back we can go now. It took 2 hours. We was happily chatting and the time went so fast that we didn't sleep.  
 
But when we came, it was so hot that I can't stay. I wanted to go to the hostel and rest. Luckily we stayed about 5 ~ 10 minutes. The hostel was kind of messy and smelled bad. There was no air conditioner and there was only a fan that turns slowly. We went outside and walk through the forest/jungle. When we was walking I got lots of mosquito bite and there was poo on the ground. We walked about 1hour 30 minutes. I was so tired that I cannot move. But we saw lots of insects on the water. It was so COOL!!!!!!!!!

At night we rode a boat to see a fireflies. I thought fireflies were big but when I saw real it was not. But when I come closer it was so beautiful that I was so impressed. The man catches the fireflies and gave to Na Young, Linh, CY and me. It was so tiny that I could not touch it very well. I had two but one was so active and it fell down to the boat. I felt sorry for it. But just then on fireflies flew away. Now it finished. I wanted to see more but I enjoyed a lot!

It was about 10 but I can't sleep because I am not sleepy and I was scared. Na young was scared to sleep at front of the door so she went middle. But I was scared too! It was creepy. We all didn't sleep. Ayaka and Anne said to sleep. I slept for 5 hours. I am the only one who slept a lot. It was about 4 o' clock so we played card game for 1 and a half hours. It was fun. At morning we ate breakfast. The teacher said that we are going to plant the mangroves trees on the sticky mud. Some people said it's so dangerous. I didn't want to do it. We put our boots on and started to go to the sticky mud. I was so scared that if I got stuck on the mud. First step was fine but if I go through it became more sticky. I was going but some one pushed me so I fell down. It was my good clothes. I was so angry. But again I got stuck in the mud. I tried to pull it out but it stuck deeply. One man helped me to pull it out I was happy. When I just want to plant the mangroves tree the teacher said it's time to go. I was very sad.

I was walking to the forest but I saw Justin walking by the street ad with a shower. I was so envious. Now I could barely take the shower. When I finished my shower it was so refreshed. I like taking a shower. I wanted to go home. We rode a bus and I slept for a whole time. I was too tired. At home I slept a lot. Phew!!!!!!!!

Homo Erectus Key Capabilities for Survival

Homo Erectus had a few key capabilities that helped this species to survive 1.8 million to 200,000 B.C.E.
One important key capability was they were good walkers and runners. Their bones were very strong. So they could migrate out of the Africa. They can have lots of lands to live and if somewhere is danger they can quickly escape from the another country.  Another important key capability was they were tool makers. They has a large brain so they can invent more complex tools and they are intelligent. For example axes made of stones. They create shelters with tools. The next key capability was they used fire to survive. There was no caves to provide natural shelters. So they control the fire helped them to keep warm and protect themselves against the animals so they can survive longer than the early hominids.

All About Me

My name is Yerin Lee. I am from South Korea in Bucheon. In Malasian  age is 11 years old. I was born in1999 March 12th. I was here for 6~7 months. Now I am going to ISKL Ampang Campus. My favorite color is purple. Also my favorite food is spaghetti. And my favorite picture is Doraemong. Because Doraemong is cute and has lots of strange things or magic things in his pocket. My favorite animal is turtle. Even though turtles are slow they have intelligent of thinking an think how can they protect their eggs. So I like turtle very much.

My family is 4 people. My parents, my younger brother and me. My mother has short curly hair. She can swim well. She is a house wife.  Her favorite color is light blue. She wants to sleep. I don't know exactly but my mother's favorite food is slices of raw fish same as my father. My father has little short hair and now he is an officer. His favorite color is green. He wants to just lay down on the floor doing nothing. Lastly my younger brother has long hair but not so long. He has little curly hair and he is going to ISKL Melawati. His favorite color is orange. He wants to buy anything he wants. My brother's favorite food is steak.

My hobbies are 3 things. Swimming, watching movie and going shopping. Swimming is exercise and we can live more healthy and strong. Also swimming is good to our body and it is fun to swim. Next watching movie is fun. We can see fun part of movie and eat popcorn. Lastly, going shopping is also fun. We can buy anything we like to watch what they sell and what things are the sale.

When I was in middle school, I was excited. Because teachers are nice and there are many tasty food more than Melawati and we can have lockers. But I was little worried.Because middle school is too big so I can be easily lost. But middle school is more better than other school.
