How about changing "one out of home and work" to "one of the two, home and work"

Unit 3. Analyzing patterns -Preliminary writing
How I change my speech in my home.
My speech change depending on the situation like who i am with and where I am in my house.
Usually I speak inforamally to my husband and my daughter. For example "Jean's daddy, do it for me" " Jean, eat dinner right now!"
When I visit my parents-in-law's house, I speak formally to my parents-in-law and relatives-in-law. "Father, Did you have dinner?"
But, I speak to my family in my hometown even my mom informally like friends. "mom, I want to eat something"
As a result, I usually speak formally to relatives-in-law and informally speak to my family.
Analyzing particular situation
* Attending wedding ceremony *
It's likely to happen a conflict in relationship with parents-in-law.
Two weeks ago, my family attended the wedding ceremony of relatives-in-law which was held in Gyounggi province. It usally takes 2hours to go there by car. At first, I heard that all family members including brother-in-law's family had to go together.
But, in the morning of that day, I realized that only my family and father-in-law would attend the ceremony.
Always my husband want me to follow his parent's decision whatever they do. Whenever I think deeply about matters like this situation, I have to ask to myself. "Why only my family has to do except brother-in-law's family. Is it obligation as a first son?"
My husband do not answer but I quess that he recognize his duty in the subconsious.
Even if this kind of thigs happen again, I will follow my husband. This is the way that make my family happy.

Adjusting to a New school
It is difficult to adjust to a new school for several reasons
First, we have to make new friends. Until we make new friends, we would be alone for a while.
Second, there are pre-exiting social circles like school culture in school. Infiltrating to this social group is harder than making friends. If we make new friends, we can enter easily to this circles.

Narrative composition-rewriting
I want to tell about a person who has influenced my idea and my education. He is my supervising professor at the university in Korea.
He was born in 1960 as the youngest boy in his family. At that time his parents were old enough to raise him. When he talked about his parents it looked like he wanted to have younger parents. This is the only thing I've heard about his early life.
I met him when I was in Ph.D course at the graduate school in Seoul. At that time, he just came back to Korea from Canada where he got a doctor's degree.
In those days when I met him first, he was in post-doctorial course at the same university. But one year later, he became a professor and my supervising professor.
During my Ph.d years, he would give me a lots of encourage and advice for my future. Best encourage given by him was as follows; "You are so smart that you can do whatever you want". By then, I was in hardest time through my life. Also, he said “if you meet three people who influence your life, then you can make your life successful.” Still now, whenever I have to make a decision I ask him to give his opinion.
In retrospect, I've already met one person who influenced my idea. I am sure that I can have successful life as I want.

Annie's story- Sperm-donor husband
Sperm-donor husband
-->
Dear Annie: I have been married for 12 years and have three wonderful kids.
I recently discovered that my husband has been a sperm donor for more than nine months. I confronted him after I saw the check for $6,000, and after two days of pushing for information, he finally admitted it. He says he kept it a secret because I would not have approved.
According to him, I am making a big deal out of nothing and he doesn't need to answer for every private detail of his life as long as he is being a good provider and a good father.
I feel my trust has been broken, and that he does not respect me enough to get my input on this kind of decision. I am seriously thinking of separating. Please advise me. -- One Foot Out the Door
Dear One Foot: By our math, $6,000 in nine months means your husband has been donating sperm at the approximate rate of three times a week. Most sperm banks pay about $50 per donation, but more importantly, they often require a waiting period of six months between the first donation and payment to be sure there are no health problems.
We're not sure your husband is telling you the whole story. In any event, such decisions (and extra income) should not be kept from a spouse. It creates distrust and resentment. You have 12 years and three children together. Insist your husband go with you for counseling as a condition for staying. He needs to understand why you are angry enough to walk away.
Dear Annie: Our neighbor's wife died last summer. Since then, "Tom" has been reclusive. He is also an alcoholic. He has no other family. I've known Tom a long time. We used to work together and he was a good friend. Since his wife died, we've barely spoken.
Tom is a retired police officer and has weapons in his home. He has threatened one of our other neighbors. I have thought of reaching out to Tom on numerous occasions because I know he is depressed. Yesterday, I saw him taking out his garbage and asked how he was. I offered to pick up groceries for him if he ever needed me to. He was very genuine when he said thank you and asked for my cell number, which I gave him.
My husband worries Tom may get drunk and hurt me while I'm dropping off groceries. What can I do to help him? -- A Concerned Neighbor
Dear Concerned: You are a kind soul to care about Tom's welfare, but alcohol and weapons are a bad mix. If he calls, it's OK to ask if he needs anything and to get groceries for him, but don't go inside his house. Also, please contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) at 1-888-4-AL-ANON (1-888-425-2666) and ask for guidance.
