H4 : My Private Room


......I have a room called a Study Room, in my house designated for my personal study and PC work. As you enter the room, a big balcony window located on the opposite side of the room. Because of the window, the room is always bright, so the curtains are mostly closed. On the wall to the right, there are two tables positioned parallel to each other and they occupy almost the whole length of the wall. On top of the tables close to the window, there is a PC. There's also bookcase on the right side of the wall between the door and the tables. Several big framed pictures are hanging on the left wall. This is my study room but, unfortunately I do not use it often. Instead, I spend more time on the sofa watching TV.

H3 : Advantages of learning a foreign languages

......Learning a foreign language has several advantages. First of all, it is possible to learn that country's culture while learning their langage. Second, being able to speak a foreign language is useful when you traveling. If you can speak local languages when traveling, the people will be friendlier than others who don't speak the language. Most of all, learning a foreign language can help us to enlarge and develop our knowledge.

H2 : Martin Luther King, Jr.

...... Martin Luther King, Jr. is an American hero. I come to know him by his famous speech titled, "I Have A Dream" which he gave during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He was born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia and died in 1968, living only 39 years. Although his life was short, what he affected others was long enough. He fought against civil rights and racial segregation. Inspired by Gandhi's non-violent activism, he encouraged people with his speeches, courage, and knowledge. He was opposed to the Vietnam War and pointed out the American government's wrong position in Vietnam. He also organized a "Poor People's Campaign" to address issues of economic justice and he was the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. King's life was short but his name is unforgetable among Americans. I like the speech " I have a dream" too.

H1 : My favorite kind of music is Tibetan Buddhim Mantra

Tibetan Mantra : Om Ma Ni Pat Ne Hum

.......My favorite kind of music is Tibetan Buddhism music these days. I bought a Tibetan Buddhism Music CD in Nepal while trekking at Annapurna Mountain last year. The music CD runs about an hour but only contains three songs. Each track is a part of the Buddhism mantra song by a Tibetan monk. The songs are a kind of mantra repeating the same phrase saying, "Om Ma Ni Pat Ne Hum" sung by a Tibetan Monk. You might think it is boring when I say it goes more than twenty minutes repeating the same above mantra. But, as I listen to the music, I fall into a deep peaceful world in the middle of the mountains. When I want to sleep well, I try to listen to it. Eventually the song takes me to the comfortable dream world. Whenever I turn on the music, I feel I am far from the busy smoggy city. The music has a power to make peaceful mood to the listeners. For these reasons, I listen to the Tibetan Buddhism Music often recently.
