Writing Homework: Soo https://padlet.com/miikegreen/preintb0900/wish/140083815 (I am not sure this is right way to submit the essay. I am still confusing how this site works. anyway, I start...)

16 years ago, it was my first day of driving. I had driven my mother's car to the mountain where my parents have been trekking. I was supposed to pick them up. I had parked the car near the mountain circle-road and waited for my parents. It was hillside and the road was quite steep. Then, my mother called to me and told that they were in the opposite side of the mountain. It meant, I had to have driven alone to other side of mountain. 

So,  I started the car and drove to downward. But suddenly its every function controls were out of order. I couldn't control neither the handle nor the brake. Furthermore, the road was very narrow, one side was thick woods and the other side was cliff. The car run down faster and faster along the descend road. I have given all my efforts not to lose control, though. It was extremely scary and fearful experience. 

Somehow, eventually, I arrived at the foot of the mountain without any accident or injury. The car looked also fine. It stopped slowly on the flat road. And thus, I found that I had not started the car at all!!! I just unlocked the handbrake, thus the car literally rolled down to the ground cause of gravity. I think, I was very lucky that I didn't hit anyone or anything. Thanks to my first extreme experience with car, I became a careful driver and didn't have any serious car accident.

Maybe two years ago, I came out of building at british council after class and I was walking on the road toward the subway station.

At that time I was wearing sandles which was maden by straps.
Suddenly, I felt strange from legs when I was walking.

So, I saw my shoes and then I noticed which my straps of shoes was
cut off.
I was not walking anymore and couldn't do anything.
I was embarrassed.

Many people were walking next to me and I just was standing on the road for few minutes.
After few minutes, I noticed what there was a cobblers in front of me.
So, I went in to the cobblers.
Unfortunately shoemaker who fixed my shoes said high cost for pay.
I knew my shoes were fixed by shoemaker but I think I got stung for 
7000 won a straps.

This story was my first experience that I had to go to an emergency room. Two years ago, when I was doing my laboratory work, I spoiled my samples. I was embarrassed and worried about my experimental results. I wanted to do work again. However, I couldn't easily collect samples because that was come from blood and should be harvested in consideration of menstrual cycle. So, I decided to use and gathered 150 milliliters of my blood, although I felt very very tired because of too many workloads to me at that time. 3 hours later after then, I felt local conversion and strained on my arm and neck, respectively. In the end, I couldn't breathe!!! Fortunately, my colleagues called an ambulance which took me to the hospital. Then, a doctor said that you almost to death because of mental stress and overwork and need to rest.]]> 2016-11-28 15:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/miikegreen/preintb0900/wish/140218977 Kitty story - jiye https://padlet.com/miikegreen/preintb0900/wish/140251941  4 years ago, I was walking under the moonlight near my home.
When I was passing some parking lot, I found very small kitty.
She was crying weakly and looked like sick.
And there isn’t her mother or family. I thought she will might be die. So, I decided take her to my place. But she was very fast than I thought. We engaged in a chase on the parking lot for an hour.
Finally, I caught her to use my cloths and brought her to my place. Then I bathed her with clean towel. I could find out easily that she is having problem with her whole skin and eyes.
Next morning, I took her to animal hospital, but doctor said “she’s going to be die”
Actually, I don’t want to give up. So, I received medicine from hospital and I was given the medicine to her for about 1 months.
In the ends, she has lived with me and another two more cats since then.

Very entertaining story!! 
Leave a line between each paragraph to make it easier to read.
Check tenses and articles, when you finish writing ask "what tense is this?" - In this case - past

Actually it was the first time to visit there. Whenever I go abroad, I enjoy going clubs. So, I went to club with my friends on the first day in Melbourne. After we enjoyed the clubbing, we had to go through the main street. When we were walking on the street, we could see so many homeless people. Even some people were sleeping in the front of the building.
While we were walking the last street, some women were fighting and hitting each other. They looked like the homeless. A woman was pushing the other woman and yelling. At that time we were really scared, so we ran into the hotel very rapidly with holding hands to escape the situation. Actually, We heard from the guide we should not make an eye contact with the homeless especially at night.
Later, I heard from a hotel staff about it. The policeman came and took them to the police station. He said such a trivial fighting was common, so the police didn't care about that. In the end we gave up going club on the second day and we returned to the hotel earlier than before.
