Can you have a look at my personal essay?
Im a sophomore to be, and I just wrote about myself. Could you please have a look at it and give comment or advice?
Before I attended to a Korean public school, I thought I was the most unlucky person living on the face of the earth. Like a Rufous Hummingbird or a nomadic Mongolian tribe, I lived a migratory life in which I had to move in every two or three years. I was born in Korea, but for 15 years I had to move to 4 different countries including Singapore, Kuwait, Russia, and Germany. By the time I was in Germany, I no longer knew who I was and my life seemed to be like a ship in the middle of the sea without a clear destination. The ship of my life entrusted itself to the unpredictable wind and to the fluctuating waves. The lost ship struggled to gain control over itself, but it only got farther away from where it intended to go. Similarly, I was lost and I didn’t have control over my life. Not one place did I have to call “home.”
However, my perception of life gradually changed as I started going to a Korean school when I was fourteen. March 3rd, 2006 was the first day of my new school which is known as Yong Gang Middle School. The school has 2 buildings standing against each other which were recently coated white. Both of them were 3 stories high and very long.
When I got to my class, the room was filled with about 30 children but ironically the classroom was dead silent. I quickly went to the nearest, wooden desk and sat down quietly. I was unusually shy and just stared at my friends-to-be. A few minutes later, a Korean girl walked up to me and said “Annyong?” which means hi. We started talking in Korean, and frankly I was embarrassed since I had a funny Korean accent.
In English class, all of the students had to introduce themselves in English. One by one, each student went in front of the class and attempted to do what they were told to do. Most of them carried out the task very poorly, but of course there were exceptions. Deep inside of me, I wanted to show off in front of the class of how better my English was than theirs. I wanted to be unique and marked, so I decided to introduce myself with a British accent. And so I did. When it was my turn, I confidently went in front of the class and started introducing myself to the class. When I was done, I felt pretty smug and the eyes of the students told me that they were totally amazed.
At break time, more than 10 students came to my desk and demanded me to tell them about my life. They also wanted me to read out some of the spells from Harry Potter with a native British accent. My British accent wasn’t that good, but they didn’t seem to notice and tell the difference between a British accent and an American accent. I was never treated as such before, so I was quite surprised and a bit happy. I told them stories like how I was nearly kidnapped in Russia, how I lived through a war in Kuwait, and how some German kids were mean and racists. They stared at me open mouthed, and it seemed to me that their eyes grew larger. By the time I told them all, they made exclamatory remarks like “wow”, “wicked”, and so on.
Throughout the 3 years in middle school, I made great friends and a place to call “home”, all because of my exoticism. Each time I told them my life stories, they were all intrigued and demanded to know more. Most of them envied me greatly, and told me how lucky I was to live in 4 different countries and learn 2 foreign languages. That was when I started reflecting the past 14 years of my life and looked at it from a different angle. The abundant experience I had was surely a gift, a blessing, which makes me stand out from the crowd. I long abandoned the thought of being a marginal and a loner, but rather special and different. No longer am I a lost ship, but a boat with a clear path that doesn’t waver a bit by the strongest waves and the most violent winds.
Answer: That's an excellent essay. It needs a few minor grammatical corrections.
First paragraph, second sentence -- remove the word "in" after "move"
Third paragraph, second sentence -- remove the comma after "nearest"
Fourth paragraph, fourth sentence -- add the word "much" after "how"
Last paragraph, fourth sentence -- add the word "over" after "reflecting"
Last paragraph, sixth sentence -- change "being a marginal" to "being marginal" and change "but rather special" to "but rather felt special"
Last paragraph, seventh sentence -- change "by" to "in"

Help! I am feeling depressed, angry and very fed up and need some advice?
This week is the worse week in my life! I dont know how to get over it, and I am angry, depressed and insulted. I used to be a good natured and quiet person, but I turned into a bad tempered person.
I am a foreign student who is studying in Singapore in a very good Christian school.
Firstly, I am given three projects in a week and expected to finish all in a week. All my teammates are unco-operative and they did almost nothing at all.
Secondly, there is a wicked girl who said insulting words about me and my friends. I confronted her, leaving her a note, telling her to stay away from my friend and keep her hands off him, and to mind her own business. When she discovered the note, she went around and spread rumours. When her friends confronted me, I said out all she had done. Being guilty, she didnt dare to face me, yet she denied. Then she pretend to have a fever.
Thirdly, two of my friends left school and are returning to their home countries. I feel so lonely now. :-(
Yes, I do have other friends, the loyal ones who will stay by my side no matter what happens. Not all the people in the world are bad.
By the way, to clarify, my teammates havent do anything now, but that dosent mean they wont do their work over the weekend. I am not mad at them, I just feel frustrated.
I am still in contact with my friends who had left, but I feel lonely because I cant meet them everyday. I have another friend who says that she may have to change to another school if she fails this years exams again. I really hope that she wont leave.
Thanks. I am offering my friends who are weak in their studies free tuition. Yes, my group members know what to do(we all agreed on who will be in charge of what), but they take a longer time to finish.
When I get back at the girl (the one who insulted me), I did not go overboard. She insulted me with words, and I did the same to her. Now she wants to hit my friend. I wont hit her back, because using violence to solve problems is equivalent to asking for trouble. I just want her to know how stinging her words are.
We used to be friends, but she always expected me do all the work for her when we did pair work. But the teachers understand and they didnt blame me. She never appreciated my help, without even a single "Thank you" or "I appreciate your help". I am not expecting her to repay me back, I just wants to know that my help is appreciated, I wouldnt mind if it is just a smile.
I think I will divert my attention to my other classmates who need it more.
I feel more calm now. But she isnt. She had shown her true colours to everyone, and it is up to others to judge.
Actually, I have to admit that I felt hurt not because she insulted me, but because she malinged my friends. If it was just about me, I could have just tolerated her words.
But after thinking through calmly, I thought that the girl may be suffering from some problems of her own, and decided to take out all her frustration on others. I think her guardian or parents may have scolded her recently for failing her exams, because she is a new student and is still not able to speak English comfortably.
Perhaps I had been too hard on her, and I may have made a wrong choice, because I can tell that she has a heart full of hatred and fury. I just dont like her for spreading rumours and looking down on Koreans. We just dont understand each other.
At first, I thought she was trying to flirt with and snatch my friend away, but after hearing what she said about of him, I get so mad at her that I couldnt think calmly.
Anyway, I have forgiven her, but I find it hard to forget such an incident.
Well, maybe I have learnt my lesson, never to judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, in such a situation, I dont know what I am suppose to do. Should I just forgive and forget, or teach her a lesson? I cant ignore her forever, because shes in the same class as me, and we will still have to spend the other half of the year together (assuming that we will be in different classes next year.
Answer: Words are words. I would ether ignore her or tell an adult at your school. This person must be pretty unhappy to be trying to destroy your reputation. Remember, you can rise above that and don't let her get to you. If it gets out of hand, tell the principal or someone and try and get her removed. As for only you working on your assignment, go ahead and do it and put only your name on it and tell your teacher why you put only your name on it so they won't be credited for the work only you did. Best of Luck. As for being lonely. Try burying as much time in your work as you can. Let your books be your new best friends for now.

Newspaper article
Yesterday, a Boeing 707 crashed in the ocean on its way to New Zealand from Singapore. So far only one survivor has been found; a thirteen year old girl called Nadina Fraaiheid who was travelling with her family back home from a holiday where they also celebrated her birthday which was on the 1st of June, 2009. She was found completely unharmed with her life jacket on, floating in the ocean with hypothermia from the ocean, which was only 1 degree Celsius. The plane crashed into a part of the ocean which was five hours by boat from New Zealand and the search will carry on for at least another week. Nadina will stay with her father, who was coming on a later flight, until the rest of the family is found. When Nadina was asked about what happened……
Newspaper article
The only survivor who was found in the plane crash on the 15th of June has suffered another great misfortune. Two days ago, she and her father were out driving to a relative’s house when another driver, asleep at the wheel, cut across the road and slammed head on into the car that they were driving in. Hugo Fraaiheid, the father was killed instantly while Nadina survived once again, with only a few stitches required. Scientists could not explain how Nadina survived the plane crash as all the bodies found, had severe head trauma from hitting the seat in front of them and had drowned while Nadina merely had a bruise on her head. In this accident, Hugo’s head slammed through the window when his seatbelt didn’t work but Nadina, also in the front, wasn’t tall enough to do the same. Nadina will be put up for adoption on the 1st of July as her relatives unfortunately cannot take her in even with financial support as they would have too many children. When asked to comment, the relative, who wishes to stay unnamed, had to say that……
Dr. Aloiki stared at the two articles in front of him with a wicked smile beginning to curve up. “Maury,” He called absently to his assistant. “When was the first article out?”
“On the fifteenth, sir.”
Aloiki nodded. “And the second one?”
“That would be going in the newspaper tomorrow, sir. The actual accident happened yesterday,” Aloiki nodded again, looking satisfied.
“Good, good. So this Nadina is going for adoption, hmmm?” Maury nodded, unsure whether it was a real question or not. Aloiki stretched lazily and laughed, though the amusement didn’t reach his eyes. “This is just perfect. Maury?”
“Yes, sir?”
“Don’t let the newspaper publish this article quite yet. Get them to wait a couple days and, if all goes well, get them to put this instead,” He bent down and started scribbling something down. “There. Give this to them instead,” He held it out and the dutiful assistant took it. “You may go now,” It was a dismissal and Maury left, only pausing outside to read what it said. All the information about the adoption had gone and instead, it said
The American Science Operation will sponsor Nadina and find a good home for her. Until they find the right home, she will stay at the main building in her own room. They will also transport all of her clothes and toys from New Zealand and allow her to phone and chat online to old friends.
Now alone in his office, Dr. Aloiki stared at the photograph of the wide eyed girl who was the subject of so much talk. He laughed again and when he smiled, his canines could be seen, sharpened to a point with a knife. “Yes,” He mused. “You will do very well with us,”
Sooo...what do you think? I know it doesnt give away much information but its a prologue, its meant to do that. Give advice!!!
Dont worry, Aloiki isnt a vampire. I dont plan on having ANY vampires in my story and if I do, they will be the smallest side character there ever was! Lol. Aloiki just has sharp canines.
Answer: the first article was a little but confusing and a little bit go aroundish, but that was interesting. The poor girl. Please don't say that Dr. Aloiki is a vampire. I have no grudges against vampires but right now that is being way overdone and this story would be a lot better if you go somwhere with it rather than the obvious. Good idea though, definately one you should keep writing

Answer: I prefer acoustic, but I've heard that Gibson and Fender guitars are nice. I'm not sure how much they cost, though. (I'm not much of a guitar expert either.)
But it depends on what you like, and your style of playing.

Could u please have a look at my personal essay?
Im a sophomore to be, and I just wrote about myself. Could you please have a look at it and give comment or advice?
Before I attended to a Korean public school, I thought I was the most unlucky person living on the face of the earth. Like a Rufous Hummingbird or a nomadic Mongolian tribe, I lived a migratory life in which I had to move in every two or three years. I was born in Korea, but for 15 years I had to move to 4 different countries including Singapore, Kuwait, Russia, and Germany. By the time I was in Germany, I no longer knew who I was and my life seemed to be like a ship in the middle of the sea without a clear destination. The ship of my life entrusted itself to the unpredictable wind and to the fluctuating waves. The lost ship struggled to gain control over itself, but it only got farther away from where it intended to go. Similarly, I was lost and I didn’t have control over my life.

Answer: I think it's great to have a place to call "home" .It's nice to get noticed and make good friends when you feel you are alone or a stranger at a place .But you never thought how lucky you were in traveling to all those countries in this young age itself.If u look in the corect angle everything will be allright.

Before I attended a Korean public school, I thought I was the most unlucky person living on the face of the earth. Like a Rufous Hummingbird or a nomadic Mongolian tribe, I lived a migratory life where I had to move every two or three years. I was born in Korea, but within fifteen years I had moved to four different countries including Singapore, Kuwait, Russia, and Germany. By the time I was in Germany, I no longer knew who I was, and my life seemed to be a ship afloat in the middle of the sea without a clear destination. My ship had entrusted itself to an unpredictable wind and to fluctuating waves. This lost ship struggled to gain control over itself, but it only got farther away from where it intended to go. Not one place did I have to call “home.”
However, my perception of life gradually changed, as I started attending a Korean school when I was fourteen. March third, 2006, was the first day at my new school, Yong Gang Middle School. The day was bright and the morning wind ruffled the trees. Out of anxiety, I got up early in the morning, and prepared myself to go to school. Usually, I get up at the very last minute and barely make it to my class before the bell rings. The old school had two buildings standing against each other which recently had been coated white. Both of them were three stories high and very long.
When I got to my class, the room was filled with about thirty children, but ironically, the classroom was dead silent. I noticed the lack of facilities on the school, especially the worn wooden floors. I quickly went to the nearest, wooden desk and sat down quietly. I was unusually shy and just stared at my friends-to-be. A few minutes later, a Korean girl walked up to me and said “Annyong?” which means “hi.” We started talking in Korean, but frankly I was embarrassed since I had a funny Korean accent.
In English class, all the students had to introduce themselves in English. One by one, each student stood in front of the class and attempted to do what they were told to do. Most of them carried out the task very poorly, but, of course, there were exceptions. Deep inside me, I wanted to show off in front of the class- to show how much better my English was than theirs. I wanted to be unique and marked, so I decided to introduce myself with a British accent. When it was my turn, I confidently stood in front of the class and started introducing myself. When I was done, I felt pretty smug as the eyes of the students told me they were totally amazed. The teacher gave me a round of applause and asked me some questions about my past.
At break time, more than ten students came to my desk to demand I tell them about my life. They also wanted me to read out aloud in a native British accent some of the spells from Harry Potter. My British accent wasn’t that good, but they didn’t seem to notice the difference between a British accent and an American accent. I had never been treated as such before, so I was quite surprised and a bit happy. I told them stories about how I was nearly kidnapped in Russia, how I lived through a war in Kuwait, and how some German kids were mean and racists. They stared at me open-mouthed, and it seemed their eyes grew even larger. Each time I told all, they made exclamatory remarks like “Wow,” “Wicked,” and so on.
On some excursions, my experiences abroad helped me make some of my best friends. For example, my best friend Jin and I have maintained a very strong relationship since we both have lived abroad. Jin is about 6 foot tall, and he was the skinniest kid in our class.; he weighed only 126 pounds. He had lived in New Zealand for three years, and his English was modest. We often talked in English and confided in each other if we had any problems. He was one of those credible friends whom I could tell my deepest secrets. When I told him that I was going through an identity crisis, Jin kept saying to me that my experiences were a gift that not many people possess. Ever since I’ve known him, I’ve become more optimistic about my past and gained more confidence.
Throughout the three years in middle school, I made great friends and a place to call “home,” all because of my exotic accent. Each time I told them my life stories, they were all intrigued and demanded to know more. Most of them envied me greatly, and told me how lucky I was to have lived in four different countries, and to have learned two foreign languages. That was when I started reflecting over the past fourteen years of my life and looking at it from a different angle. The abundant experiences I’ve had were surely a gift, a blessing, which makes me stand out from the crowd. I long ago abandoned the thought of being a “marginal citizen” and a loner, for I find I’m rather special and different. N
Answer: This style of writing surly has its place in modern literature, though I must confess, I have trouble appreciating it.
This is well written, though I'm afraid it reads a bit too much like a history book in my humble opinion.
Just because it's fact and not fiction does not mean the language needs to be without beauty. If I were you I'd add in some imagery at the very least.

To all my online friends!!!?
As the holidays approach, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC because their “chickens" are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time)
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (CDT) this afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next-door neighbor’s ex-mother-in-laws second husbands cousin’s beautician.
Answer: Star given!
That is great, thanks!!!

What Broadway (or Off-Broadway) musicals should I see?
Im going to New York for Christmas this year, and I want to see as many musicals as I can (Im staying for around 8-9 nights).
So far Ive come up with a list:
- Next to Normal
- Mary Poppins (my mum really wants to watch this so idk)
- La Cage Aux Folles
- West Side Story
- Memphis
- The Addams Family
- Promises, Promises
- The Fantasticks
- A Little Night Music
- Wicked
Ive seen Wicked (the Australian cast) and A Little Night Music (in Singapore) before, so if I dont have time Ill probably drop those two (even though I would love to see Peters live!). Or maybe you have other suggestions not on the list? Please suggest which I should see, I think I can fit around 5-7 shows.
Thank you :D
Answer: That sounds like quite a good list. The three must-sees in my opinion are: Next to Normal, for its powerful, beautifully crafted story; La Cage Aux Folles, for Douglas Hodge's hilarious and heartbreaking performance; and Memphis, for its deft blend of toe-tapping music, vintage goofiness, and affecting drama.
I also recommend Jersey Boys, if you like pop rock from the 1960s, and are in the mood for a truly exhilarating evening. You might have already seen The Phantom of the Opera: a quintessential Broadway experience for the romantic theatergoer.
One more thought: Brief Encounter is not advertised as a musical, but it contains many delightful songs by Noel Coward that drive the story along. It is a gorgeous production, incorporating quirky theatrical devices and stylized movements, without losing the authenticity of the tragic love story at its heart. I think it has the sensibility of a musical -- including a pre-show with the cast singing hits from the 1930s -- and highly recommend it.
