Is my country a civilization?

My country, Korea has several civilizations. We have social structure, stable food supply, technology, art, writing and government.
Social Structure: Koreans have different levels depend how people work. If there is a person who is CEO of a famous company, then Koreans says he is in high level. All the people in Korea can choose their own religion and government. They can speak their suggestion to the government. For example, when there is no traffic light on the road. we can suggest.
Stable Food Supply: Most people in Korea get food even though they don't grow farm because people from countryside grow crops so they pass crops to city and sell it in market. However, in modern days, We buy fast food like hamburger and pizza.
Technology: We have more advanced technology than before. We have advanced technology such as cellphone, computer, television and other machines. We buy really cheap cell phones but abilities of those cell phones are quite advanced. Abilities of cell phone is online games, movies, cameras and internet.
Writing: In the past Koreans used a Chinese writing. We didn’t have our own writing. However, the great king Se Jong from 13 century decided to invented a new writing. The writing is called [Hoon-Min-jeong-Eum]. There are 24 letters.
The Arts: We (Koreans) have our own arts. We have our national costume, music and traditional dances. Our national costume is the Han-Bok which is really colorful and beautiful. We have our own traditional musical instruments like Korean lute and Korean drum. Also, our traditional dances are the Tal-Dance and the kang-kang-sul-lae. The dancers wear masks in Tal dance and they dance without any embarrassment. The kang-kang-sul-lae is beautiful dance.

Warm Winter Vacation


I had a strangest vacation ever. My father had a bad disease so my parents went to korea to have a father’s surgery. My brother and I had to stay in KL.
We both had hard time in the food supply but luckily, mother called neighbors to get the meals. My brother and I had tution everyday so it was little hard to have lunch and dinner on time. However, we had a fine time. I also slept over in K –Joon’s house I played with his dog, Lucy. I think it likes me.
After my parent came back, they had fine faces. My father was completely healed. I didn’t see my father’s surgery scar because I was scared. I asked he is okay or not several times. I heard stories how my father was in hospital. It was terrible. I felt sorry and I thought I have to do better to my parents.
They also bought me bought me a new soccer shoes and my aunt bought me a hoodie. My father and I exercise every day to keep our healthy body. I always wear with my soccer shoes when I exercise.
I went to timesquare with my friends. They invited me. Timesquare is indoor amusement park. We almost played all of machines. My favorite machine is bumper car. It was really good so I played like 7times. I also played rollercoaster. It was totally amazing and scary.
This vacation was really special and strange. I think I can’t forget this vacation.
