Paragraph Writing: King for a Day -- by Mickey

If I could be king of the world for a day, I would change three things. First, I would order 

to make myself king for all time. Then I could collect and make my fortune and change 

laws for myself. Next, I would make the world's lands part of Korea. Then there would be 

no wars and everyone would only have to learn one language: Korean. Finally, I would 

end all forms of school testing. If there are no tests, I would be able to choose any 

university, like Harvard or Seoul. That's what I would do if I were king for a day.

Paragraph Writing: If I had a Super Power -- by Mickey

If I had a super power, my power would be cloning others. First, I would become a thief

and steel gold. When the police arrived, I would become an officer and hide among them.

Next, I would steel the super powers of others. For example, I would steel Max's ghost

powers to escape from my angry mother. Finally, I would become an animal. I would be a

bird to travel, and a fish to swim deep underwater. That's what I would do with my cloning

super power.

Paragraph Writing: If I Inherited a Million Dollars -- by Mickey

If my rich grandmother died and left me a million dollars, I would like to do three things.

First, I would use half of the money to make an Iron Man suit. For that, I would have to

buy a HUD and try to make green energy. Then I would give some to charity. If I did that, I

would feel proud and the poor people will be happier. Finally, I will invest in stocks. If I am

successful, I could become richer and live happily for the rest of my life. That's what I

would do if my rich grandmother left me a million dollars.
