2nd Annual Mokpo English Competition

Today I judged the English competition and recorded some amazing quotes for your reading pleasure. Here we go:

"If you want a cool, handsome guy with lots of money, then do your best, but don't go to a fortune teller."

"When I lied about piano lessons, my parents beat me so hard with a bamboo stick that I cried until I couldn't open my eyes. You should have seen my face."

"I know lying is wrong, but it's the only way I'm alive."

"Family is one of the best noises."

"If I make my sister upset, then maybe I will die."

"Fortune tellers are lazy, smart liars."

"I play video games where I shoot my friends in the head, but look at me, I'm very gentle."

"I was so shocked that I felt like someone hit me in the head with a ten ton ax."

"Let me ask you a question, have you ever been to a fortune teller? If your answer was 'yes', then that is your mistake."
