linguistic bias often prevails throughout
life. Girls read sooner, learn foreign
languages more easily, and, as a result,
are more likely to enter occupations

contrast, show an early visual
superiority. They are also clumsier,

arranging a row of beads, but excel at
other activities calling on total body
coordination. Their attentional

are based around a particular faith, such

Korea is a peninsula in Eastern Asia formed by the Sea of Japan (East Sea) and the Yellow Sea,
which is currently separated into the countries of North Korea and South Korea. South Korea
have many amazing tourist spots such as Busan, Seoul, Jeju Island, et cetera. They are also
popular for their foods such as samgyeopsal, bulgogi, and many others. Mentioning this, I recall
that one day where my sister and I cooked improvised samgyeopsal in our own home. It was a
beautiful day and my sister ask us what food do we like to eat for dinner. She recalled that we
bought ingredients we can cook for samgyeopsal so she told us if we like to eat it and we
immediately agreed. My sister cooked our own kind of samgyeopsal. I could hear the sizzling
sounds when the meat meets the frying pan and when we ate it, we groaned as the delicious and
tasty food went to our mouth. We slept soundly that night with a happy stomach.
