Freedom

             If I don’t have freedom, what will happen? I think that I would suffer from many things if I didn’t have freedom. I would not be able to have a job, house, food, and the other things in life I want. Therefore, I believe that freedom is a basic right for us in order to live as human beings.

             When I was eight years old, there was a demonstration for Korea to get freedom from the government. People directly wanted to select the president of Korea, but the government didn’t permit it. In 1986, people in Seoul held a demonstration against the government, and some people died at that time.
             Finally, we were able to take back freedom from the government through this demonstration. The government gave up forcing the people, and Koreans gained voting rights for the first time. In addition, Korea became a perfect democratic country, and we were able to breathe again as we took back our freedom. And now, I can have a lot of freedom in my life.

             In conclusion, freedom is the most important right for us to live as human beings. Therefore, I believe that we have to protect this right forever.

How To Give a Newborn Baby a Bath


             Most mothers delivered of a child think that bathing a newborn baby is difficult because newborn babies can’t control their bodies, and the mother panics for she doesn’t know how to bath her baby. So, many mothers find another person who will give their baby a bath instead of bathing them by themselves. But, it is very easy if you follow the next steps.
             First of all, you have to prepare everything ahead of time because your baby is a newborn, and you should quickly give a bath. Fill two bath tubs with warm water about 40°c. Then, put the shampoo within easy reach, and spread a large towel nearby the bath tub.
Next, it’s time to wash your baby’s hair. At this time, you have to put your arm around a baby’s neck and shoulders to support baby because the baby can’t support his/her neck by him/herself. Then, lightly wash your baby’s face and hair with a soft gaze.
             After washing the baby’s face and hair, you can start to give a bath in earnest. Because you don’t want your baby to be surprised, slowly dip the baby in the bath tub. Then, prop your baby’s back against your left arm, and hold the baby in your left arm. After you do this, softly wash your baby’s belly, neck, arms, and legs with shampoo.
Then, it’s time to wash your baby’s back and hips. It seems to be difficult, but you can do it, easily. Put your baby’s chest on your right arm, and grip your baby’s left arm. This is really important. If you do it well, the next step will be really easy. It is to wash your baby’s back and hips with shampoo.
             After shampooing, you should rinse your baby off. Move the baby to another bath tub already prepared, and cleanly rinse the baby off.
             Now, it’s time to dry your baby. Let your baby lie down on a large towel, and swathe the baby in a soft small towel. Then, dry the baby pressing lightly.
             Finally, after you apply powder or lotion to your baby’s body, dress the baby to go to sleep. You have done it all and now you are finished.
             To sum up, if you give your baby a bath as mentioned above, you will be a responsible mother who washes her baby by herself. The first time you try this, you may feel nervous, but after you practice these steps a little, you will be able to do it perfectly. It’s up to you now. Good luck to you!
