• I would like to talk about some news of today.
• These news “articles” were posted “in” today's newspaper.
• There is “some” preposterous news, sad news, and” also” “some” warm news.

• The first is (a X) preposterous news: Two brothers had buried 10 more billion won under a garlic patch.
• “Since” the money was dirty money from illegal gambling, they couldn`t deposit in a bank, “and so" they bought a garlic patch.
• They planted garlic in the day time, and planted bills “late at night”.
• The Police “dug into” the garlic patch “with a hydraulic shovel”, and had found all the bills.
• Now that small village “has become a famous place” “as ‘Money patch’”
• Many people visit to see that garlic and money patch.

• The second news is very sad.
• This year three bright young students of the Korean university, KAIST, took their own lives.
• This has become “a hot topic of discussion" and “has generated” many questions.
• One of the KAIST professors sent “an” e-mail to his students” to try to help them”.
• “Here I have posted” “his mail to the students.”
• “ It is called” , “To my lovely disciples”. “ Since” my English is poor, it is not easy translate, so I just posted “that picture in Korean”.

• And the third news: A couple” in their twenties” visited a charity center and donated all of the gift money they had received during their wedding.
• They didn't leave their name or even any contact details.

Justa and Arizona Jim, I suppose you're both native English speakers, and it didn't occur to you to correct the grammar before you recorded this? Honest to God - this sounds correct to you? "Two brothers had buried 10 MORE BILLION WON under a garlic patch."

Bangbank1, I've corrected your post and recorded it. Let me know if you have any questions. There were a lot of grammatical mistakes and some problems with usage. I hope this helps.
