days to adjust to this new lifestyle. Although I didn’t experience anything different with the language and the food of the Korean culture because my parents have taught me Korean and fed me Korean food, I was able to experience the history there. I went to traditional homes, temples, museums, and palaces. It was interesting for me to be able to look at the Korean palaces in person because I’ve always seen them on Korean T.V shows. When I came back to Austin after staying in Korea for 2 months, Austin felt rural instead of the city I once knew. However after a couple of weeks I was adjusted to Austin’s lifestyle and it felt normal all over again. In all, by going to Korea I was able to experience a place beyond Austin.

The thing that stands out for me is that you could use some help with paragraph indent. It helps separate your thoughts and make it easier to read. I believe you left out the first few words so I am going to have a guess. Here is how I would have written it (asterisk in place for a spot about which I left a note): ---------------- It took me days to adjust to this new lifestyle. I didn't have any difficulty adapting to the Korean language and food because my parents have taught me the Korean language plus they have fed me Korean food. [*] I was able to experience the history there by visiting traditional homes, temples, museums, and palaces. I had seen them on Korean T.V. shows but they were much more interesting in person. When I returned to Austin after staying in Korea for 2 months, Austin felt rural instead of the city I once knew. However, I was re-acclimated to Austin's lifestyle within a few weeks and it was normal for me once more. I enjoyed my chance to experience a place beyond Austin. ----------------- I envy you your trip. :) Oh, you have some problems with the use of commas but nothing drastic. From this small essay I would guess that you have a good vocabulary, which is essential in writing. I think with a bit more practice you shall come along nicely. [*] I would have put in there, after you said it took a bit to adapt to staying in Korea, why it did take a few days. Maybe something about being immersed in the culture rather than just studying it after you mention your parent's teachings. It must be odd to be completely in a culture even if you do speak the tongue and are familiar with food and sights via television.
