Korean Wave! Korea and Jeju Island

Every year I make the same New year's resolutions, but this year I added one more. 1. To read one book(Korean or English) a month. - To be frank with you, I didn't finish reading even one book this year so I want to read more books in 2018. 2. To improve my English skills - I want to improve my English skills, especially speaking so I will practice speaking,listening and writing. 3. To lose some weight - I need to lose about 5kg so that I can be healthy, so I have to walk or ride a bicycle for about 30 minutes every day. 4. To improve my piano skills - I have been practicing the piano by myself since I learned how to play the piano at a paino institute for three months. I will attend a piano institute near my house. That's all! Did you make any new year's resolutions?

When my children were very young, Christmas was a special day for my family. My children wanted to receive something special from Santa Claus. Every year my husband and I bought some presents and gave them to their daycare center for Christmas festival. One day, a long time ago, my youngest daughter came home with a big present. "Mommy! I received a big gift from Santa Claus. My friends envied me", said my daughter. She unwrapped it with excitement. It was a big dark brown bear. She looked so excited and very happy. Many years later, she learned the truth that her daddy prepared it for her as a Christmas present.

I work at a daycare center as a teacher. Every year there is a Christmas Festival for children at work. A few days ago, my co-workers and I already packed some Christmas presents for the children. Yesterday we had a Christmas Festival. Santa Claus in red clothes visited us to give the presents to the children. When the children looked at him, some looked a little bit nervous. Santa Claus called the children names and gave the presents. He also gave me and my co-workers small presents. My boss already prepared some presents for us. I was happy to receive it from Santa Claus and took a picture with him. I had never received any gifts from Santa claus at work. This Christmas was special.
