How color can change your life

  Colors affect our life in many ways. There have been several interesting sudies on the positive effects of color. Studies prove that the color red is a stimulant that ffects our appetite. Because when we see red, our body produses a chemical called adrenaline that increases our heart rate and enhances our appetite. In contrast, the blue color reduces appetite, possibly because so few blue foods exist in nature. In yellow case, yellow is the first color that eye processes. That's why stores use  yellow signs to make sale items. If we are starting a new job, and we've decided to wear our bright red suit so people will notice us. But using the small amount of red can be warm and inviting. So we can use the small amounts of red like a scaf r blouse. Instead, in the United States, dark blue has historically been associated with power, responsibility, and respectability.So we have to remember color can make a difference.

My hometown

   I want to describe my home town. I like my hometown. I live in Mok-dong. It is one of the cities of Seoul, Korea. It is famous for its education and good schools. So that’s why my parents moved here, when I was middle school student. There are not interesting place but many academy and institute in here. So almost parents push their children into private educational institute. Anyway, many broadcasting stations are also clustered in here, including CBS, and SBS. And Mok-dong is famous for the baseball stadium and an artificial ice rink. It takes only 15minuits from my house to there on foot and 5minuites by car. So I usually go there with my friends or family in winter season. And I live in a high-rise apartment building in Mok-dong. I live in 18th floor. It is quite high in Korea. Actually my apartment has totally 22th floor. In general, almost apartment has 15th floors in Korea. So I always use the elevators. If the elevator is not working, It is terrible for residents. It will be make my leg painful because I have to use stairs instead of elevator. But It is hardly happen.
  Location is also good. It is convenient to the station and school. My apartment also located by the lake.When I was in balcony in my house, the view is good. Some people walk, bike and jog around the lake. In front of my apartment, there are playground. Many children used to go there to play. Also, the name Mok means tree, named due to abundance of trees in the region. So I can see many trees everywhere in Mok-dong. And, the park is near where I live. Especially in the fall or spring season, the view is better than another season because of colorful tree like cherry blossoms and fall foliage. So that time, I often hang out with my family and then walk around my hometown. Whenever I went out my apartment in that season, I can see the beautiful scenery. It is because the cherry trees are in full bloom.
 In short, I think Mokdong have many trees, apartment, skyscraper and academy. In addition, Mok-dong has two department store and two movie theater. In my opinion, I am just satisfied my hometown. Because Mok-dong is pleasant and comfortable to live in. Furthermore, It has my teenagers memory. That's why I like my hometown. If I move to very cool place, I might be miss Mok-dong.
