JM310: Editorial and Article Writing

8.00 a.m. A-ring~ I was in the middle of a perfect dream cuddling in my bolster. I heard it. The deathly shriek of the alarm. I reached out to grab my iPhone and touched on the snooze button. 8.10 a.m. A-ring~ A-ring~~ My eyes stood fast. I opened my eyes and I was awaked from my paradise, though I didn’t want to be. I jumped out of bed feeling like a ton of gravity pulling me down and reluctantly walked to bathroom.   8.35 a.m. I was ready in a university uniform. I put on my favorite perfume.

I thought I was prepared, wearing a university u

Nowadays, plastic surgery hospital usually hires people to write a good review for them. Sometimes, hospital and clinic do free

The term "Hallyu" means how Korea flows or the Korean Wave.  It first refers to the popularity of Korean pop culture in China long time ago.
