Fluency Ex #3 (A Fall Holiday in Korea)

In Korea, we have Thanksgiving day which is called Chu-suk. The Korean Thanksgiving day is similar to the American Thanksgiving day but there are some differences.

When we think of Chu-suk, we always come across the full moon because the date of Chu-suk is August 15 in the lunar calender in which we can see the full moon. In the Chu-suk, the family gets along and greet each other. Because of busy work, we can’t meet each other, so meeting family is important during Chu-suk. Whenver Chu-suk comes, we wear the Han-bok which is made up of cotton or silk fabric. The representative food is song-pyon because we shape the dough for the song-pyon which is made up of rice cakes. After making it we steam it, then eat. It is so delicious that I can eat it all day long. When the night comes we go outside and make a circle and then we turn around as we sing a song.
