Many stories...

Hello again~ Gwen.
I''ve come up with many things to tell you and ask for you!
 
First of all, I wonder is there any greeting expressions aside from "hello" and "hi". I assume there are many. I''m now kind of sick of using "hello" in every greeting.
 
You asked me what are the easiest and the most difficult part of studying English.
Well.. I see the Listening is the most difficult. That''s because I have to understand long statements in one time. I mean, in Reading, I can read again and agian, but I cannot do so in Listening. And I feel writing a little bit easier than other parts. Because I can improve my writing skills while writing my diaries with you! Hahaha...
 
Let''s move on to next. Have you ever heard about the fainting goats? I newly found them interesting. Can you guess why their name includes "fainting"? Let me tell you. They easily faint when they feel surprises. I''m curious to know how they can run away from enemies. It''s a serious problem when they become stiff while escaping from enemies!! When I watched the videos I felt both interested and sorry to them.
 
I also eager to tell you about my hometown.
It''s Icheon where I''ve been living for about 14 years! It''s 30 minutes away from the Korean capital, Seoul, by car. So it can be both rural and urban. To say about its rural side, it''s famous for the great quality of rice which had been eaten by the King of Joseon Dynasty, and now is being loved from many people. My hometown is also famous for the peach, spa and also ceramic ware. In the urban aspect, it has recently re-built city hall. The photo below is of it.

And my school has state-of-the-art equpment including digital-based blackboards, high-quality projectors, etc. I''ll tell you later more. Speaking about my hometown, I''d like to know about yours. Can you tell me?
