Dear Sumin,

How are you ? How’s the weather in Korea? I’m writing to introduce you to an interesting book titled The Moon Embracing The Sun. Actually you may have heard of this book because it was made into a very popular drama in Korea.

There are a number of reasons why I want you to read this book even though I know that you may already know the story. First, the conclusion of book story is a little different from the drama; you can enjoy a different version of the story. Second, all of the things are expressed more in detail than in the drama; it evokes more sympathy. In other words, you can concentrate more on story. Lastly, the best reason is that the main character’s dialogue is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!! My favorite dialogue is: “You want me to erase you from my heart? That’s what you truly want? Sorry…I’ve tried, but forgetting you is impossible for me.”

If you want to feel this sad love story, I hope you will read this book!

Have a good day.

Sincerely,
JeongHee

Dear Youjin,

How are you these days, Youjin? I’ve been here for about one month and I feel really good. My home stay mom is not only warm but also energetic and cheerful; she always try to make me happy with my life in American life by cooking Korean food for me, giving a lot of advice about my school life and improving my English, and taking me to very good hotels in downtown to rest.

Nevertheless, I sometimes really miss you. When I saw the rain today, I remembered a very touching book and wanted to introduce it to you. It's called I Am Always Here For You No Matter How You Live by Jiyoung Gong,a Korean writer. The book consists of hundreds of letters from the writer to her teenage daughter, which gives helpful advice about life's problems such as love, friendship, time, and effort, etc. The most impressive sentence for me is: “There is the only one, yourself, that hurt your heart in the world.” This sentence really touched me because I had gotten hurt badly and been too sensitive by other’s words so I could empathized with what the author said. Even though I don’t like her stubborn writing style and quite not good private life, as you know (<--I don't understand), I recommend you read this book when you feel sad and depressed. I’ll write a letter to you again. Take care.

Best,

Hyeyeong

Dear Jeonghee,

Hi, Jeonghee. I am sending you this letter to introduce to you my
favorite book: "On Love." I read this book a few days ago and haven't
finished yet, but it is so interesting. Do you know Alain de Botton?
He is a respected (?) novelist in the literary world. He usually
writes about humanities, but it is not boring.

The story is simple because it is about a man who falls in love with a
woman but throws the love away. However, it won't disappoint you. You
will be absorbed in this book because the novelist has the power to
captivate the reader's mind. He said, "We create a fate to escape from
anxiety." I could also find out my reflection in this sentence. (<--I
don't understand this sentence.)

If you want to know the answer to this question: "Why do I love him or
her?", you could try reading this book. I think you would really enjoy
it. I hope you read this book.

Best,
Jina

Dear Jeonghee,

Hi, Jeonghee. I am sending a letter for introducing my favorite book: “On Love." I have read this book a few days ago and haven’t finished yet, but it is so interesting. Do you know Alain de Botton; a completely noted novelist in the world? He usually writes about humanities, but it is not boring.

This book’s story is simple that one man fall in love with one woman and throw the love off, but it is not disappointed you. You can be absorbed in this book because the novelist has a power that can captivate the reader’s mind. He said, ”We create a fate to escape from anxious.” I could also find out my reflection in this sentence.

If you want to know the answer about this question: “Why do I love him or her?”, you could try  reading this book. I think you really enjoy it. I hope you read this book.

Nevertheless, I sometimes really miss you. As I saw a great view in the rain today, I came up with a very touching book and want to introduce it to you. That is the one I am always here for you no matter how you live written by Jiyoung Gong, Korean writer. The book consists of hundreds of letters from the writer to her teenage daughter, which give helpful advice about the problems during the whole life such as love, friendship, time, and effort, etc. The most impressive sentence for
me is “There is the only one, yourself, that hurt your heart in the world”. Because I had gotten hurt badly and been too sensitive by other’s sharp saying when I read it, I was symphathized with the book at that time., Even though I don’t like her stubborn writing style and quite not good private life, as you know, I recommend you to read this book when feeling depressed and sad. I’ll write a letter to you again. Take care.

Dear Sumin,

How are you ? How’s the weather these days in Korea?

I’m writing to introduce to you an interesting book which the title is The
moon embracing the sun.

Actually you know about the book closely because it was made to very popular drama in Korea.

I want you to read the book in some reasons even though I know that you already have known about story.

First, the conclusion of book story is a little different from drama; you can enjoy another story.

Second, all of things are expressed more specifically than drama; it evokes sympathy more.

In other words, you can more concentrate on story.

Lastly, the best reason is that main character’s dialogue is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite dialogue is “You want me to erase you from my heart? That’s what you truly want? Sorry…I’ve tried, but
forgetting you is impossible to me.”

If you want to feel this pathetic love story, I hope you to read this book!

Have a good day.

Sincerely,

" No One's Perfect"

Hi Dara,

My favorite books is "No One's Perfect." The writer is Japanese; he has no arms and legs. This book talks about "the people who fail a million times in their life."; moreover, he told the people that " he has no arms and legs." He, too, has always failed in his life, but he doesn't give up. He can walk, swim, write, and play golf without arms and legs. However, he never gives up. He says that we should "try again and again and again."

The writer wants people think everything we do, we can do; he wants people don't give up. He graduated with a Master's Degree from Harvard University and he is enjoying his life.

I recommend you read this book because its very important for people who have failed in their life. Finally, I hope you are enjoying yourself.

Best,

Kimhour
