America!

What a beautiful country from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River, this country is the most admirable to me. I came to this wonderful country when I was one year old from South Korea. When I came here I learned that this country went through a lot of hard work to become what it is now, a land of peace and opportunity for people like me to build the future. This land went through a lot of trouble like wars and had to sacrifice many lives to be a free country!

What an amazing history! Not only is the history of America astonishing, from the climate of the cold snow of Minnesota to the sunny beaches of California, it has the best climate in the world! The food is great here and the beautiful landscape is the best! The United States is a wonderful place and is the best of the best!

The Style of Life

I most admire the country of China, which is in Asia. China is a beautiful country and everyone is treated equally. They have a very unique style of life. They have very special holidays and share them in a fantastic way. When others come to visit they welcome them happily. They make everyone feel comfortable and calm. I enjoy China’s fantastic way of music. It’s creative and imaginative. The music also creates a story.China is also one of my favorite places to see buildings and architecture. They have beautiful buildings with statues of all kinds. China has a very unique way of life and style. I admire them the most.

Admiration of Mine


The country I admire the most is Vietnam. During the fall of Saigon, the South had so much courage and they had a large amount of belief that they could win t he battle. Unfortunately, they lost. Another reason I admire Vietnam is because of their rebuilding. Right after the war, South Vietnam was dreaded. The president then said to all of his people that we should be proud of our country and we should show it. All of the people pitched in to rebuild the cities. But the city that had the best result was Saigon ( Ho Chi Minh City). They built palaces of gold and dragons that looked liked they were real. All the people of Vietnam were proud of being Vietnamese.

Their independence is what I admire the most. Everybody learned that you don't have to depend on somebody to get what you want.They learned that if you stood up for what you believed in, more and more would follow. Soon enough, thousands and thousands of people are standing behind you. Especially when you needed them the most. But when they needed help, they never denied it. I think Vietnam should be getting more than what it deserves. They showed the world that independence and endurance is truly the biggest reward.

Romania-Port Open!


The number one place that I admire is Romania. I am very interested in their culture. My uncle is living in Romania to study their culture. He sends some postcards of the famous structures in Romania. Recently, when I was ten years old, I started to read legends of Romania and watch movies, too. I really began to admire Romania. The biggest reason that I admire Romania is because of their history. Romania had many brave warriors. Their structures were fascinating in that period. Other countries wouldn't dare to build a big structures like Romania. The stadium for Gladiators was the most impressive structure. Romania is still protecting the stadium. In conclusion, Romania is the most admired country to me. It has the most fascinating buildings and cultures.

My Admired Country

A country I admire, instead of my own, the U.S.A, is Australia. I admire this place because of the reason they had, so far, no wars or arguments. All the wildlife animals look so peaceful and free, but not captivated in cages for viewing and being poked around and abused. I also admire it for their climate, as well as their friendship with animals. But, overall I like the friendly people in that place, and their actions of friendship, good-attitude, and manners.

China

Other than Korea, my native country, I admire China. China is a wonderful country with many beautiful sights to see. You can see the Great Wall of China, many pretty palaces, rivers, and other great sights. People in China try hard to live their life as they want to. They work and feed their children. I admire China the best. The way they live, the way they talk, the way they dress, and the way they work. In my opinion, I think that China is one of the most adventurous countries.

The Country I Admire

The country that I admire is Mexico. When I got there I thought the songs and the food were very interesting. There were beautiful things that I would never forget in my life. I thought when I grow up I would try to speak Spanish. My brother is learning Spanish and now and then he will try to teach me some simple Spanish words. When I went to Mexico, I thought it was pretty warm. My mom said Mexico was kind of a poor place but I thought differently. When I grow up, I am planning to learn how to speak Spanish and go to Mexico and live there about a year or so. Those are the most reasons I admire Mexico.

France!

I admire the country called France because I feel that this place is a very elegant and proper country. This country has many things to admire because of the medium - sized land mass. The Eiffel Tower is a very popular monument that many people visit. This country can be strange to us in many ways like the food that they eat and the way that they speak. I like this country in many extraordinary ways, but the thing that I like most about France is the elegant accent that they have. I want to learn how to speak French, but most people say it is very difficult. France can be a very wonderful place to be and a place that you would want to see. France and I hope that I do some day!

Mexico

I think I admire Mexico the most. I love Mexican food. I hear some of the beaches there are beautiful. People work very hard there, and have their own way of life. I picture a beach in Mexico like a delicate blue diamond glass. Many people think of Mexico as the first place to go on a family trip.

The Country I Admire Most

The country that I admire most is Australia. I admire Australia because they have mostly had peace and had almost never been in a fight. That's amazing. The Olympic games were actually in Australia in the year two thousand. This country also has one of the most rare and most unique animals in the world, for instance, the kangaroos. The kangaroos are very unique and interesting because they have a pouch on their stomach that they put their babies in. The reason why the babies are well protected is because the mother kangaroo has very strong hind legs, and a fist almost as big as a full grown man's head. Australia is a very amazing country.

Japan

I like Japan because they produce many of the video games I like. They are an island of f the coast of China. Japan has a cool looking flag because it has a red sun, and the sun is surrounded by white. Japan is a very high-tech country. Japan has so many people they have to make one person hotel rooms which is only big enough to lie down and sleep. They even have to build graveyards on roof tops because there is not enough ground to build on. That is why I like Japan.

Argentina, The Dinosaur Land

In Argentina, there are many dinosaur fossils. I like the location of Argentina. It has tons of dinosaur fossils. The largest dinosaur was found in Argentina. It is the Argentiosaurus. Argentinosaurus was a huge dinosaur. It weighed 80 to 100 tons. The length of this large saurpod was 100 to 115 feet. That is pretty long for a huge dinosaur. This is the reason why many archeologists likes to visit Argentina. Dinosaur Jim, a popular archaeologist, used this area to find the second largest dinosaur, the Ultrasaurus. Argentina is the greatest place to ever visit in world history.

Australia

The country that I admire the most is Australia. Australia is my favorite country because it is a big island and it is an independent continent, and that is not the only reason. The other reasons are because of the unique cultures, and habitats, and the animals over there.

When I went to Australia, it seemed so big. The animals there were very jumpy, and I still remember that a kangaroo had pushed me down. Australia cherishes lots of memories so that will always be my favorite country.

Spain:The Respectable Country

I love Spain as a country because it has wonderful sites to see. I love their soccer team. They are the best. Spain is really neat and is located in a wonderful area.They have some pretty unusual beliefs, and have some invigorating monuments. They have some wonderful weather and have some great music to listen to and feel the rhythm. It would be really superb to go and live in Spain and see how they do things. I would like to see how they cook, eat , sing, or even how they sleep.

The Country I Admire

In this world, there are all different cities, states, counties and countries you can visit. I went to a lot of places, but the country I admire is Australia. I have never been to Australia, but I did research on it and I watched videos of Australia and the sight just seems so beautiful. You can do a lot of things in Australia. You can do a lot with water because Australia is surrounded by water. You can go swimming or surfing because the waves are just great alone in the ocean. You can also ride boats across the ocean and the sight will be pretty. You can play volleyball on the beach. You can do a lot more things, too.

Australia has a lot of sights and places to go to, but the prettiest sight to me is sundown at the beach. As the sun goes down, the sky turns into a purplish color and it is pretty. I have heard a lot about Australia. I have always wanted to go there because of the wonderful things I heard about. In the future, I hope I can visit Australia.

China...

As for me I would like to visit China. China is a very large place where a lot of goods are created from and transported here. Everywhere I see a little tab that says, "Made in China." It kind of makes me feel jealous and mad to see every valuable thing I own made in China, not USA or Korea, but from China. Although it makes me feel frustrated to see a lot of products in USA made from China, I would like to visit China.

When I go to China, I would like to see how, and where all the products are created from, and where my remote control car was made. I would like to see where and how my hat was made. If I go to China, I would like to study everything, from how they made it to where they made the products. I would like to be the first man to think of creating and forming, the same way as China.

I admire China for its size and its location. China is a very large place full of adventures. It is like when you take one step out of the house in China, it is like you took one step into a forest as high as the Empire State Building.

China is a very large country in Asia. When you live on the coast of China, you can see the ocean far and wide, extending for miles and miles. As for me, I admire China the most and would like to visit there.

A Country That I Admire

The country that I admire is Japan. I admire Japan because Japan has a lot of beautiful antiques and some other wonderful things. I have never been to Japan, but I have heard many things about it. I have even written a report on Japan. Japan is a very rich country. Japan is a country worth living in. Japan's capital is Tokyo. If you want to visit a very good country, then I suggest you go to Japan because I guarantee that you will like that country!

America

I think that America is one country I admire more than my own native country , Vietnam. America is full of many cultures because America is an immigrant country meaning there were no natives. They either came from Europe or Asia. Also America's government is well built. For example, we have a presidential election that most other countries don't have. Another reason is that we have the best military in the world. Also, compared to other countries , The United States of America is the cleanest.

America is also one of few countries that have equal rights between men and women. If you put all this together you get a great country and I should know because I live in America.There are other great things like how women are making half of the jobs in a work office environment.
