McDonald's VS Burger King





 Sometimes, I have to have a lunch at hamburger fast food restaurant. I have two chances - McDonald's or Burger King. They are large global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants headquartered in the United States. They sell hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, shakes and desserts. They serve foods that have equal tastes anywhere and fast.
 Despite their similarities, McDonald's and Burger King are very different. McDonald's has special lunch time menu. It is sold at less than 30% of original price. You can save money! But Burger King has a popular sandwich that was designed to give the customer a lager product with better value than competitors. It named Whopper. And McDonald's provide a service that drive-thru service. I can order and take out to go in my car. 
 I prefer McDonald's to Burger King. First, McDonald's often provide free coupons. And BigMac is cheaper than Whopper. Second, I can order in my home just calling. It can be delivered. For these reasons I prefer McDonald's.

Tokyo subway systems more complex than Seoul's ;(


 There are two cities. Seoul and Tokyo - I have lived in seoul for 27 years. Last summer, I visited Tokyo in Japan for a week. I think two cities do not have only several same things, but also many different things.
 There are many reasons why Tokyo seems like Seoul. Both cities are a large capital city of each country. They have central government buildings and important roles. There are a lot of conferences and forums first. When honored persons like presidents of other countries are coming, they often have a meeting at these cities. They have very complex subway system too. Seoul has well over 8 million trips daily on the system's thirteen lines. Tokyo has more larger system. The entire network of Tokyo Metro system has over 274stations and 13lines.
 Despite their similarities, these cities are different. If you are on some higher place like a top of the building or top of a mountain, you can see peaks of the mountain. Seoul has 26 mountains. You can go hiking easily and get fresh air. But Tokyo has few mountains. You can see hardly some peaks of mountains. Also Tokyo has a big Dome Stadium called the big egg. Not baseball games, but other sports are hosted in the stadium. They have no worries of weather. 
 In, conclusion, these are the two cities I love. Seoul is nice city. Tokyo is great city, too. They looks very same, but they give me different feelings. I want to have a chance to go to Tokyo again!

Wearing clothing of their own choice make a person distinct individuality.


It is evident that in our society freedom has a tremendous importance in our lives. Some people think that wearing uniforms is better for students than wearing clothing of their own choice. I however, believe that it is essential for students to wear clothing of their own choice. There are several reasons. First, it gives students to have freedom to wear clothing that they want. Second, to buy uniforms these days needs more money than buying other clothes.

First of all the most important reason for my thinking this way is that students will be able to show their  characteristics diversity. Commonly in society most of students learn same subjects like Korean, math, English and so on. That makes let students be monotonous. Besides, they wear same uniforms. It can be very serious social problem that students have no features. These days, there are many students that do not have any own opinons.

Also, another reason for my thinking this way us that uniforms are more expensive than older days. I agree that uniforms can help to concentrate on their studies better and not spend time thinking about what they should wear to school the next day. It sounds that we can save money. But these days, uniform prices are so expensive. Even some uniforms are more expensive than a suits. It is ridiculous, don't you think?

Wearing clothing of students' own choice has several good things. I think that it will make the better world.
