I think King Sejong is the greatest King or President in Korean history. He was born on May 7 in 1397, and ascended the throne in 1418. He was the 4th king of the Choson dynasty, Yi dynasty. First of all, he was very enlightened king. He established the Ziphyon Chon which is a royal research institute. In 1446, he created “Hangul” alphabet, what we called “ Hun Min Jong Um”. It is the most famous thing that he invented. Second, King Sejong was a scholar, scientist, musician, and militarist. In these variable parts, he reformed and invented something. He invented rain gauge. He wrote numerous songs including “Yeo Min Rak”, they means enjoy the song with people. He made the boundaries of Korea. Finally, King Sejong governed people with affection and virtue. He died in 1450 at the age of 54. "Hangul" has been used from 1446 to these days in Korea. These above reasons, I think the King Sejong is the best king in Korean history.

Great person
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first female medical doctor in the United States.
On this account, she was one of the greatest person that ever lived.
For this reason, I'd like to introduce her biography.

People always make New Year's schedule, but don't keep his promise.
As is often the case, Tim had a hard time keeping his New Year's resolutions. On January 1, he wrote a list of New Year's resolutions, thinking that he must keep his promise. For example, there are quit smoking, exercise everyday, practice English, etc. As usually, at the end of January, Tim had broken half of the resolutions.

Even though he knows that he may not keep the resolutions, he always writes a list of New Year's resolutions every Deecember.

To learn a foreign language is difficult.
There are many difficulties in learning a new language. First of all, culture of each country is different in many ways. Each countries organize ideas differently. There are many differences in ways of life, their thinking method, their talking manner, their making relationship, etc. Second, language is composite of reading, writing and speaking. For example, we don’t learn a foreign language completely if we study reading, writing, speaking separately. In addition, we always use mother tongue, there are a few chances to learn foreign language. We haven't any chances talk to foreign language.
These reasons explain to us why learning a new language is difficult.
