I would like to travel in Europe one day when I get older and have enough money
to travel in entire European countries.  I already have some places that I want to 
visit, but other than that, I would love to visit all my friends who I met in Canada.

The European continent spans across 3,930,000 sq. miles and comprises nearly 50 countries with up to 5 having limited recognition. The landmass of Eurasia is divided into two continents - Europe and Asia along the watershed divides of the Ural and the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian and the Black Seas, and the Ural River. The Map of Europe gives you a clear view of the political boundaries that segregate the countries in the continent including Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Czech Republic, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Croatia, and Albania. The Russian Federation spans across both Europe and Asia. This Europe map also contains information on the topography of the continent; the various seas that surround Europe such as the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Aegean Sea the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Norwegian Sea the White Sea, and the mountainous regions of the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathian Mountains, and the great plains of North Europe and Scandinavia. - See more at:

My future goal in university 

To successfully get into the post secondary school, the most important thing is to get

TOEFL ibt score that they require us to get. Sophia university is one of the university that

I want to go. Global studies course sets their criterion of TOEFL score from72. As long

as you have 72 score, you are allow to apply to this course. But in my opinion, 72 is not

good enough. At least around 80 is the best score to apply this course. To reach 80 on

TOEFL, you have to study really hard. Especially TOEFL require us to have 4 English

skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing. So even though you study hard

during only short time, it will not work. You have to remember the accumulation of every

single day.

Things I am most exited about for university life is many new friends and the freedom that

university allows. There are many type of people that come from many places even other

countries. You are able to meet many new people that you have never seen. Also you can

learn new thoughts and opinions that you never though. Another thing is freedom. Now

all international students are restricted by school. We have many rules that we have to

follow. But once you get into university, you will be free from all rules. But you have to

keep it in your mind that you will have all responsible that you do.

I think the world 20 years later is going to be addicted on internet.  Today's world, 60% of people use internet for their daily life, business, institution, organization and education.  probably people can not live without internet.  And internet is getting to become valuable for us.  For instance, the our education developed with internet.  With development of internet, people could share their information and status of their education.  And sharing with other education institution they could be able to find what to fix for children.  And in our education internet is becoming more important.  we use internet as a part of a way to learn.

here is the source
Studies suggest that 1 in 8 Americans suffer from problematic Internet use. Those estimates are higher in China, Taiwan, and Korea where 30 percent or more of the population may experience problematic Internet use.

However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind.  After the retirement, he had flashback of battle and mental stress.  He tried to heal his disease with people who used be a soldier and struggle with same situation.
