A) What do you like doing on Saturdays?

B) I like reading fairy tales. I’m reading a book called The Shepherd and the Princess. It’s a story about a Shepherd who wants to marry a King’s beautiful daughter.

A) Oh I know that story. The Shepherd gets 3 things for the king because he wants to marry his beautiful daughter.

B) Yes that’s right.

A) Which part did you like the most?

B) I liked the last part the most. I liked the part where the crab pinches the king’s hand.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls on the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" will kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families. These threats are followed by attacks which leave residents of the school "petrified" (that is, frozen). Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger investigate the attacks, and Harry is confronted by Lord Voldemort, who is attempting to regain full power.
The book was published in the United Kingdom on 2 July 1998 by Bloomsbury and in the United States on 2 June 1999 by Scholastic Inc. Although Rowling found it difficult to finish the book, it won high praise and awards from critics, young readers and the book industry, although some critics thought the story was perhaps too frightening for younger children. Some religious authorities have condemned its use of magical themes, while others have praised its emphasis on self-sacrifice and on the way in which a person's character is the result of the person's choices.
Several commentators have noted that personal identity is a strong theme in the book, and that it addresses issues of racism through the treatment of non-magical, non-human and non-living characters. Some commentators regard the diary as a warning against uncritical acceptance of information from sources whose motives and reliability cannot be checked. Institutional authority is portrayed as self-serving and incompetent.
The film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, released in 2002, became the third film to exceed $600 million in international box office sales and received generally favourable reviews. However, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers won the Saturn Award for the Best Fantasy Film. Video games loosely based on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were also released for several platforms, and most obtained favourable reviews.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2010.9.27(월): 모두 안녕하세요?.
저는 지금 텅 빈 교실에 있는데, 곧 나갈 겁니다..
오늘은 이 학교에 3학년 아이들을 가르치러 왔답니다.
이제 한국의 긴 연휴가 끝났습니다.
이제 다시 일을 시작하게 되었습니다.
오늘 하늘요? 깨끗하고 상쾌합니다!
공기요? 역시 깨끗하고 신선합니다!
오늘의 맑고 깨끗한 하늘과 공기처럼 우리 모두 "화이팅" 힘을 냅시다!
그럼, 안녕~ 잠시 뒤에 뵈요.

The thief managed to wrench the stereo out of the car

The family leads a very bourgeois lifestyle
