Group members : Jipyo Hong and Chang Chiachi (narrator)
 
1. One day, I was having a great time with my friend in the restaurant.
He asked, “How is wine?”  I replied gladly, “It’s fine. I like it.”
2. Suddenly, he looked soup carefully and found something in the bowl.
“Don’t you think it is an insect?” he said angrily.
After I saw that, I answered, “Oh, something is in the soup, but I'm not sure what it is exactly.”
3. He was very upset, so he called waiter, “Excuse me, hey! Waiter! Come here and look at this!”  The waiter was also embarrassed because of his sudden resentment.
4. “How can it happen in this popular restaurant? I visited other famous restaurants, but I have never seen such a terrible situation,” He shouted. The waiter tried to explain, “I’m so sorry. Can you give me some time to check it?” However, my friend couldn’t control himself and began to shout abuse. “Please, calm down. Give him time to check the soup,” I kept him from swearing because I saw serious embarrassment from the waiter.
5. After all, the waiter couldn’t stand continuous insult anymore and ran out of the restaurant. However, my friend didn’t stop swearing and all of customers looked at us.
6. I was so ashamed of his ungentlemanly behavior that I left my seat even though I didn’t eat anything except wine.

Hi, everyone.
My name is Jipyo Hong. I'm 23 years old (born in Sep12, 1987) and from South Korea. I live in Leonia, New Jersey. I major in Physical Therapy Assistant. I want to study the major and body, therapy, and disease,,, or any health science part as soon as possible but I have to pass ESR courses. However, I really glad to take this course because this class made me have lots of cool friends.
I have some various experiences. I have served military service for  two years and worked part-time at diverse places: cinema, restaurant, and private institutes to earn money for studying abroad. I mean I'm sociable and outgoing, so I sincerely hope to get along with you guys interestingly and enjoy this class with professor Kim.
My major in Korea was physical education (teaching sports) and I like playing or watching any sports very much. Therefore, I want to play sports or go to Yankee Stadium to see baseball game ( Of course, after studying hard...^^)
As a last, I have not overcome language problem; in other words, I'm weak in English. Hence, even if you feel nervous when you talk with me, I hope you to understand me. Then, I will be able to get over this obstacle thanks for you.
