Is euthanasia wrong?

Today, I'm going to talk about 'euthanasia' which has been being hot potato since the concept was formed. To tell conclusion first, I don't think euthanasia is wrong on the premise that the patients who are suffering from diseases or who already died agreed with that. Also, if the patients couldn't make a choice because of accident which happened all of sudden and if the family can't afford to pay hospital bills, it will be a torture or nightmare to all of them. In that case, euthanasia can be be allowed. It's just my opinion, but I think the patients will agree with euthanasia, too. They also don't want to be a burden. Some people may claim that it cannot be allowed to administer euthanasia only by doctors or patient's family. However, usually euthanasia is administered when patients have brain death or when patients in a vegetative state. In this situation, patients can't decide anything, so their parents or siblings decide everything as a guardian. That's why I think euthanasia isn't wrong.

My favorite relatives

Today, I'm going to talk about my relatives who I love. I have close relationship with my mother side family, because my partents were working (actually, they are still woring), so they didn't have enough time to take care of me. Thus, they had to find someone who look after me instead of them. Fotunately, my mother side family — grand parents, aunts and uncles — were living near my home, so I used to be sent to my grand parent's house until when I can take care of myself. Before that, I spent lots of time with my mother side family more than my family. Also, I had lived my grand parent's house for 2 years, because my parents had to move to another city due to their work. At that time, I was more familiar with my mother's family than my real family. So, sometimes I felt awkward when I stayed in my home, but it's fine now. Anyway, I'm living with my family, but I'm still close with my grand parents, aunts and uncles. Also, I love them.

Valentine's day ─ the most romantic day of the year ─ is just around corner. There is something should be mentioned when we're talking about Valentine's day ─ the Chocolate. Eating bittersweet chocolates is one of the pleasures of this holiday. Also, giving chocolates to your special person is a way to express your mind. However, the chocolate products which we can buy anywhere are too common. What about making chocolates by yourself? Do you think it is too complicated to make chocolates? If so, I'll let you know the easiest recipe. So, don't be afraid. Let's make Chocolate pave.



To make this delicious chocolate, we should prepare ingredients; 200g of dark chocolate, 100㎖ of fresh cream, 20g of cocoa powder and 20g of butter. You need a square cake pan which is covered with plastic wrap, a bowl and a pot, too.


First of all, put fresh cream into the pot and heat until cream boils. During heating the cream, put the dark chocolate into the bowl. When the cream boils, stir and melt the chocolates until smooth. After that, add 20g of butter into the bowl, and stir again until the butter melts, and then, pour the melted chocolate into the square cake pan. And cool for 2 hours in the refrigerator. 2 hours later, take the cake pan out of the refrigerator, and remove the chocolate from the cake pan. After that, cut the chocolates to 2.5㎝ × 2.5㎝.

Then, put cocoa powder into a plastic bag, and then put the chocolates. After that, shake the plastic bag until the chocolates are covered with the cocoa powder. Finally, take out the chocolates from the plastic bag. Now, you can enjoy Chocolate pave. If you want to give this chocolate to another, just put each chocolate into a small paper cup. It will look great!





That's all. Can you believe that this recipe is for making chocolate? How simple and easy it is! Making chocolate is not that difficult. Also, handmade chocolates are more meaningful than just chocolate products. Just try to make this. I guarantee that your special person will be moved and impressed because of the delicious chocolates from your heart.

The temptation of Korean style pancake 'Hotteok'



It's winter time. Especially, here in Chicago, it's just freezing. So now days I miss the Korean style pancake which is called as Hotteok. Hotteok is popular street food in Korea, it is usually eaten during winter season. It is filled with cinnamon, brown sugar and some nuts, and this pancake's texture is a little bit chewy. Can you imagine the taste of Hotteok? I really guarantee the taste, you're going to like this. You can enjoy sweet, flavor of cinnamon and nutty from peanuts or some other nuts.






Additionally, it is easy to make, you don't need to prepare lots of ingredients. Just wheat flour, milk, sugar(brown sugar), yeast, cinnamon and any kind of nuts. Are they still too much? Then just go Korean grocery market and buy Hotteok mix. And then, just follow the instruction. It's super easy!

                                                   








Maybe you've never eaten Hotteok, but if you try to eat it, you cannot eat that just one time. You'll be addicted to this Korean style filled pancake.

Introduce myself and my classmate, yukie!

Hi, there. My name is Mikyung Kim from South Korea. I've been 23-year-old 2weeks ago. I'm studying English in Chicago, so I'm living in Chicago now. My language school's name is Intrax, and at there, I met my classmate. Her name is Yukie. She is from Japan. During the class, we were talking about smilatiries and differences of ours. From now on, I'm going to tell you about that. Here are some similarities. First of all, we were grown in Asia. So we're really good at using chopsticks. Also, we've never been to South America like Brazil, but we hope to go there someday. We like to surfing the Internet during our free time. We have similar pet hates. We both dislike scary sound like scratching chalkboard. Here are differences. We have different tastes in music. I like all kind of music, but my classmate Yukie prefer to listen to J-pop. Also, I'm a university student and living by myself, but Yukie got married so she is living with her husband now.
