I like living in Seoul. Some things here are old and some things
are new. In Seoul, there are tall, shiny, new buildings. There are
also buildings from long ago.

The summers are very hot. The winters are long and cold. We call
June, July, and August the rainy season. Why? The answer is that
sometimes it rains almost every day for a month!

In the game of yut, each stick has a smooth side and a rough
side.

I live with my parents, my two brothers, and my baby sister.
My family and I like to play games together. Our favorite game
is yut. You throw sticks into the air.
Your score depends on which way your sticks land.

When we get to school, we go to the playground. There we have a
morning meeting.

My friends and I often walk to school together. We keep one
another company on the long walk.
At the morning meeting, the principal shares important news with
everyone. Then children bow, thank the principal, and go off to
class.

Traditional Korean kites are shaped like rectangles. Many have
colorful drawings.
Kite flying is my favorite part of the celebration. We all make
wishes for the new year as the kites float high into the air.
