Kogi

What is Kogi?

Kogi barbecue truck is very popular in L.A. The Kogi Barbecue truck sells a food named Kogi Barbecue which has Korean barbeque in a taco. The Kogi Barbecue is popular in Los Angeles recently. A Korean American kid translated this kind of food from Korean. Many people like to eat it. There is always a long waiting line before the Kogi Barbecue Track.


Kogi Menu:
Here is a link to the Kogi.

I like Tofu Kogi Barbecue, because it doesn' have meat in it. I think it is more healthy.The Tofu Kogi Barbecue has some tofu which is pan seared and topped with some fixings. All out tacos are toped with sesame-chill salsa roja, julienne romaine lettuce and cabbage tossed in Korean chili-soy vinaigrette, cilantro-green onion-lime relish, some crushed sesame seeds, sea salt, and garnished with lime wedge, orange wedge and red radish wedge. It will be a good choice for lunch.

Junk food and children

http://baby.163.com/09/1014/10/5LJ2Q8AO00262HR6.html
This is a Chinese article about the junk food bring negative effects on children's healthy. It listed some measurements about the scary influence of children. And showing the reactions of parents about the junk food.
http://www.indiaparenting.com/food-and-nutrition/56_1186/children-and-junk-food.html

This is the English article.

There are linked two articles in different languages, Chinese and English, have the same topic- junk food and children. According to the two articles, the children's health is destroyed by junk food all over the world. Likewise, these two articles clarify that junk food brought lots negative effects on children’s healthy in the modern society. The Chinese article explains the influence to children’s health by predicting that there would be more than 55% girls and 70% boys over fat in 2050. It is similar to the English article’s supports which the food colors are harmful to children’s bodies, which both destroy children’s health. In addition, the Chinese article shows the reasons that caused children infatuating the junk food. The English article describes it, too. The Chinese one points out the television commercial is propagating wrong understanding about junk food to children, the same as the English article. At last of two articles, they both emphasize the importance of channeling off children’s eating habits in a right way. One way in which Chinese article is similar to the English one is eating more regular food instead of junk food. However, they explain these ideas in different ways and have their own emphases. Although, they expound the junk food harms children’s body; the Chinese article listed some numbers of the healthy status of Chinese children, and the English article gives an example of the food colors, which can affect digestive systems. Nevertheless, two articles all clarify these reasons caused the phenomenon of junk food. But the Chinese article emphasis these influences from the social environment, such as the inapprehensive television commercial. It is different from the English article, which is focus on the family’s affects; the parents are neglectful for their children’s eating habits. In conclusion, these two article both emphasis a topic that junk food is not good for children’s healthy growth. We should do something to protect the children from these junk food.

Halloween

In my hometown, I didn’t see anyone celebrate the Halloween. So this is my first real Halloween, and I enjoyed it. I heard the stories about the Halloween and watched many movies about it before. In modern times, I think it also became an important part of social cultural all over the world. Even though there are less traditional events than before, people change into another way to express their honor to dead. They dressed on some funny or frightening clothes, and attended some costume parties. Maybe it turns on focusing some ghoulish things that is developing into a deflection. No matter the way it is, we just need to continue the traditional festival because the rest are less.


In addition, I think it is a great way to release the pressure for adults. They can dress in anything what they want, such as the superman, animal, and policeman. It is just for fun, so don’t care others opinion. It makes everyone to feel free in Halloween. Everyone enjoys it and loves it. So the modern people need the Halloween.




I saw my friends dressing on frightening clothes to go to some a party. I have had to say they are so cool.



I went to Mall of American on Saturday. There are so many thing on sales there. I am just crazy about this. I bought a lot of things back. I saw many people dressing on costumes, when I went back home at night. I saw a little baby who was wearing in a dinosaur clothes with finger food. It is so cute. I saw a famliy dressing on the roles in some fairy tales.
