Writing
Hun-Min-Jung-Um is the traditional word in Korea. A king has made that many years ago. There was no proper word for the poor people so they couldn’t write. Only the rich people used proper word and write. King Se Jong thought that this is unfair for the poor people so he made a word Hun-Min-Jung-Um. But for the poor people, it was hard so they changed it to Han-Gle which is easier. Korean stared to use Han-Gle from that time and they still use it now.

Technology
Korea has lots of skills to produce the electronic things. For example, cars, hand phones, computers and others. Korea is good at making those and exports them around the world.

The Arts
Long ago, Korean drew Chinese drawings but they don’t draw much now. They just draw the pictures by using colors and brushes which is normal.

Religion
Koreans are divided into Christians, Buddhists and not believing people. Christians goes to churches everyday or only on Sunday. They pray in the churches and do the normal things what they need to do. Buddhists don’t pray everyday or on Sunday. They go to the temple whenever they want to go. They pray some wishes to Gods which they believe the Gods will get the wishes. And the not believing people don’t do such these things.

Government
Koreans didn’t have their power to choose their own presidents because they chose the president by the high people so there was not a good president. Koreans chooses the presidents by their votes now because the low has changed for them. Now there can be a good president in Korea.


Social Structure
Korean built normal buildings same as other countries.

My Korea Trip

I went to Korea during the vacation. It was fun.I played snowball fight with my brother. I didn't study much but I was eating and sleeping like a pig. So my mother doesn't like me to go to Korea. 
My grandmother made me lots of food and it was so delicious. She's owning a restaurant and she works there every day. She is very good at cooking so there is lots of customers in her restaurant. She always teaches my mother how to make food. 
Korea was so cold that i had to wear three clothes when i go out. I went to skiing but i didn't skied well. I was hungry and cold so i stopped skiing and  had  lunch there. It was fun but very cold. 
When i went to my friends' house, there was only friends' mothers in home because they needed to go to an academy so I couldn't meet any of my friends.I felt that I'm so lucky that I'm not studying a lot.
I just relaxed during my holiday so i will work hard from now.
