Process of Pho

Pho is a little bit difficult to make, but it will be to make easy if you follow these steps. First of all, pho is made with beef knuckles, dry fish seasoning, salt, and 2~3 gallons of water. The dry fish seasoning is included with an anchovies, a small piece of mackerel. Moreover the beef knuckle should be cut smaller than real size. It is very easy part of this cook. You should wash the beef knuckles and cut them. After that, the beef knuckles and seasoning with a teaspoon of salt are in boiling water for 2 hours. Next, the fat is skimmed from the surface of the soup because it isn’t good for health. Then, add the oxtail, radish, and onions. Anise pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and ginger are tied by cheesecloth or a spice bag; add to the soup, sugar, salt, fish sauce, and then the noodles are needed to cook.

Definition of Freedom

According to The Heinle’s Newbury House Dictionary, freedom is “having the power to act and speak without being stopped.” However, I think the freedom is always wanted by us in our lives because we sometimes want to escape from a bored and ordinary life. We sometimes feel so bored in our repeated life, so we think about freedom. There are few kinds of freedom, such as the freedom of prison, and poverty. Also they exist with different meanings and depend on different situations. First, crime is a very important and serious social problem in the world; moreover, the criminal is judged by the justice. However, they also have reason in each other and have right of their freedom. We already know that we have to have it. Then the other thing is the freedom of poverty. This is a very common problem in the world, and we have to figure that one. The poor can’t eat enough food and can’t have enough money. Maybe they might think about freedom and hope. Finally, the most important definition of freedom is the self-contentment of our life because the poor, criminal, and ordinary people who also want self- contentment of their situation or in whole life. I sometimes think about freedom. However, it is a very difficult problem to me because I don’t know how I can explain that, but I just tell only one fact that is made by people who want to escape from their life.

My Family Tradition

My family usually goes to travel every march 20th because it is our celebration of family. The name of the celebration is “Happy trip.” When I 8 year old, my great grandmother who passed away, so my family was very sad. She loved my family very well and worried. We always go to somewhere together and enjoyed. She liked to go to trip because she was writer of tour magazine. At that time, I respected her because she enjoyed traveling even though she gets married and has children. We had traveled many cities in my country and took many pictures. In fact, her hobby was to take a picture, so when we went to trip, she brought a camera. I was learned it by her. For 10 years, we had had very happy time. However, when I was 19 year old, she had a terrible disease which was a lung cancer. We were very shocked, and we couldn’t do anything because when we found it to her, it was too late. The doctor said, “She has to remind happy by she’s gone.” My grandmother had cried, and we also very sad at that time, but she told us “I’m happy now because I have many happy memories with you” After a year, she had gone to us, and we had a grave stone. My oldest uncle made it and wrote “Dear my lover, you enjoy traveling in the haven, and we really love you.” At that time, it was March 20th. I really loved her and love even now. My family usually goes to travel Mountain and ocean because she liked them, and my grandmother had made the name like that. Although I can’t go to travel with my family, my mind always is with them and her. If I have chance to meet her, I really want to say to her “I love you.”

Description of My Room

I always love my warm room because there are all colorful. Actually, my house is all white even bathroom, but my room is only bright orange, the floor, walls, and ceiling. After I use this room, I have bought three long stand lights because the stand lights match with its colors very well. When I stay in my room, my cousin usually enjoys staying in my warm room with me. She sometimes describes my room such a “Big Orange Box.” I like her description. The floor is made with high-quality woods, and it also likes the orange. In fact, it is similar to brown color, but my beautiful and bright orange lights cover it. In my room, my furniture’s color totally is different color with room’s color because I couldn’t find orange furniture. It is a black. I usually think it likes a delicious chocolate cookie or cake; therefore, my bed cover bright red color, and it likes a cherry that is my favorite cover because it is soft and warm. Finally, I usually turn a pine needle candle on during my break time. It smells very cool, and my body feels very clean. I think I always live in a warm and colorful room.

My Beautiful Trip

I never forgot my exciting trip because it was my first mountain climbing in the U.S. Last week I was so depressed and had a headache because I was homesick, so I couldn’t do anything. I was so serious every time. When I finished class, my friend suggested me about short trip last Friday. In fact, I needed fresh air, so I accepted his suggestion. After 2 hours, we began our surprising trip where it was a Smoky Mountain. When we arrived there, it was a little bit dark, but we were so happy and exciting because it wasn’t Georgia. We took fantastic pictures with nice stars and drove to small Indian village. There were so wonderful and traditional. Unfortunately, we met a big bear on the road that was close to Mountain, so we were shocked by the bear. However, I didn’t do any reaction in front of the bear. If we moved or expressed something, we would be dead. I took a deep breath then we just walked to opposite road very slowly. We almost died. Next day, we climbed up to summit of Smoky Mountain. There were fantastic and beautiful, so I took many maple pictures. At that time, my feeling was a great, fresh, and clean. Also, I couldn’t explain anymore. I enjoyed watching many beautiful maples and little lakes which was a very great view. Later evening, we came to Georgia and had dinner. I thought I have changed my mind by this great trip.
