Three Kick Rule
One weekend when a lawyer was hunting in the forest, he found a rabbit. The lawyer shot it and watched it falling dead on the ground. But it fell on the other side of the fence. The lawyer thought the rabbit should belong to him because he shot it. Then he climbed over the fence and got hold of the rabbit. Just as he began to come back, the owner of the fence came to him and said, “Give me my rabbit”. The lawyer replied to him “your rabbit? No, no, I shot it. This is mine”. The owner was very clever and he said, “That is not the way we do things here. We use the three kick rule.”
The lawyer decided to follow and asked how that works? The owner said, “I kick you three times and then you have to kick me the same way and we keep on going like this until one gives up.” The lawyer agreed. “I will go first.” said the owner. He kicked the lawyer to his full strength in the leg. And when the lawyer bent over in pain. The owner kicked him in his face and the third kick, in the stomach.
After the lawyer got the unbearable pain, he said, “Now it’s my turn”. But the owner said, “No. I will quit the game and you can have the rabbit”.

One day a lawyer went for hunting. He shot a rabbit, but it fell on the other side of the fence. The lawyer thought the rabbit belonged to him. But the owner of the fence asked him to return it to him. So the owner suggested using the three kick rule. The rule was that the owner kicked the lawyer three times, and then the lawyer had to kick the owner the same way and they kept on going like this until one gave up. The lawyer agreed. The owner kicked him heavily and the lawyer felt very painful. At last, when it was the lawyer’s turn, the owner quit the game and let the lawyer have the rabbit.

Now that we have high-speed DSL and Cable Internet access, we are able to do everything much faster and more easily. So now about 90 percent of U.S. teens are using the Internet, compared to 66 percent of adults. E-mail is still the biggest reason teens go online, followed by visits to entertainment websites, playing games and getting news. Instant messaging comes in fifth. Besides, they can talk to their friends who are studying in foreign countries, and they don’t need to struggle with the phone. It is so convenient. But unfortunately their parents don’t know what they are up to online most of the time.

Do you worry about the exam?
Yes, you know, it will cover almost all the points we have learnt this term. And so many students failed in the last semester. But I will work hard at it and try my best. So let’s work together.

Fast food is very popular among young children. Kids eating hamburgers, fried chicken or pizza with their parents remind me of when I was their age. The difference is, though, that I didn't get to have fast food as often as today's children do. When I was growing up, having hamburgers and fries was like a special treat. Sometimes, I wonder if that would still be the case with the kids these days. I'm sure, to them, fast food is nothing different from rice and soup, in the sense that they eat fast food so often. Many people express their concerns that kids in Korea are becoming obese. No wonder!

Why is a scene shot for many times over and over again?
Well, a scene isn’t filmed just once. Lots of different shots have to be taken. If a typical scene is shot, much time is needed to be done, because only the best ones are used in the final film.

Why are you working so hard?
As we know, once we have a dream, we will be motivated or driven to advance. You know, making an outstanding film is my life target. To reach it, I will spare no efforts. Tired as I am, I benefit a lot from the process of my work and get the sense of achievement.

She opened her hand and looked sadly at the dead bird. Her great love killed the bird! When seeing it, Mary burst into tears, suffering from great pain. The other bird was moving back and forth in the cage. At that moment, Mary could feel the bird wanted to go out. It wanted to fly into the blue sky.

Two Dogs' Big Feast
A rich man held a big feast for his friends. His dog was very happy, so he also took the chance and invited another dog to come to the feast. He said, “My master is holding a feast, and there is always a lot of food left. Come and have dinner with me tonight after the feast. But remember, never walk into the kitchen.” The dog was very happy to hear that, so he went to the feast. However, he didn’t want to wait. He forgot his friend’s advice and walked into the kitchen secretly, where he saw a lot of tasty food, and he couldn’t control himself. He ran to the food and wanted to eat as much as possible. However, before he could eat anything, a cook came in and saw the strange dog. The cook was very angry, so he went up to the dog and caught him by the neck. Then he threw him out of the window. The dog fell heavily on the ground and walked away, crying loudly. He could have had a big dinner, but he didn’t listen to his friend’s advice. In the end, he ate nothing.
