Final Project of Free Hug Campaign

Hug, the Shortest Distance between Us

When we are sad or there are a lot of troubles that we have and we don’t know what to do, maybe a sincere hug from someone can make us calmer.  Maybe, it was the thought of the man who introduced Free Hug campaign when he decided to start this campaign.

The creator of this campaign was a man who was full of spirit that wanted to spread his love to other people through free hug campaign. The man walked around the street with a cupboard that said “Free Hug” with a capital letter. The man looked tidy with his grey trousers, blue shirt and maroon vest. He was also wearing glasses. The man who has long black hair looked very confident to carry the cupboard from one place to another place with friendly face and smile to everyone. The name of the man is Juan Mann. Juan Mann is the first person who campaign about free hug, he wanted to spread peaceful and love to the world through hugs the other people. He offered free hugs to strangers in public places.

 At first, people didn’t give any respond to Juan Mann. Some people just saw him, smiled, took his pictures and then they pass the man without giving attention to what the man did with his “Free Hug”. Juan Mann didn’t give up, he walk again and tried to get people’s attention. After several minutes, he met with an old woman. The old woman saw Juan Mann’s cupboard and ask Juan Mann to hug her. This old woman was the first person who gave her hug to Juan Mann. After that event, many people changed their mindset, they began to pay attention to Juan Mann. One by one people around him wanted to hug him.  They hug each other happily, and then they smile each other after they did it. After all people did the free hug campaign, something bad happened. Police banned the Free Hugs campaign, they tried to stop the campaign which conducted by Juan Mann. But, Juan Mann didn’t stop the campaign. He tried to explain the purpose of the campaign to the police. He made petition to get one thousand signatures from people who agree with this campaign. Fortunately many people were touched and support this campaign. They gave their signatures to support this campaign. Some people even tried to talk with the police and hug the police. In the end, the police allowed this campaign.

In short, Juan Mann tried to remind us to keep our togetherness as a human who can’t live individually. As we know nowadays, people are getting rarely to socialize with other people who they do not know. Juan Mann also reminds us to care about our environment and our social-life through his free hug campaign. We must share our love, happiness and respect to the others without differentiating each other.

Unforgettable Moment

I had a bad experience. I’ll never forget the time when the accident happened. When I was a child about 4 years old, I accidentally dipped my left foot into a hot water or boiling water. When I was a child, in my kitchen there was a table shelves. In that time I wanted to take the sugar on the table. Because the table was high, first I went up to the chair on the side of the table and then went up on the table. When I was on the table, I took the sugar. After I took the sugar, then I directly descended from the table.  I didn't know if under the table there a bucket of hot water, and my left foot was accidentally got into the water. I screamed because of the heat. Fortunately my parents were at home, they were panic and immediately took me to the hospital. I got serious injured in my left foot. I had burns on the left foot, and every day I had to change the bandage that wrapped my leg, and it was very painful. I couldn't walk for almost a month, and the scar is remains until now.

Comment: 

I think Jyoti’s paragraph is quiet good.  The sentences structures and the organization of Jyoti’s paragraph is quiet good.  In my opinion it would be better if Jyoti use Past Tense than Present Tense in her writing, because she is comment about something that happened in the past. For the grammar, I think there are some sentences that are strange, like in this sentence “The police avoid the man and the other people to do their action.“  She should be more careful with her sentences.  For this sentence “At the first, the people around the man don’t care about what the man do.” I think it would be better if you change the sentence become “At first, people around the man didn’t care about what the man did.”  I think that’s all, 

Hug, the Shortest Distance between Friends

When we are sad, there are a lot of troubles that we have and we don’t know what to do, maybe a sincere hug from someone can make us calmer.  Maybe, it was the thought of the man in this to start the Free Hug campaign. In the video we can see, the man walked around the street with a cupboard that said “Free Hug” with a capital letter. The man looked tidy with his grey trousers, blue shirt and maroon vest. He was also wearing glasses. The man who has long black hair looked very confident to carry the cupboard from one place to another place with friendly face and smile to everyone. The name of the man is Juan Mann. Juan Mann is the first person who campaign about free hug, he wanted to spread peaceful and love to the world through hugs the other people. He offered free hugs to strangers in public places. At first, people didn’t give any respond to Juan Mann. Some people just saw him, smile, took his pictures and then they pass the man without giving attention to what the man did with his “Free Hug”. Juan Mann didn’t give up, he walked again and tried to get people’s attention.

After several minutes, he met with an old woman. The old woman saw Juan Mann’s cupboard and ask Juan Mann to hug her. This old woman was the first person who gave her hug to Juan Mann. After that event, many people changes their mindset, they began to pay attention to Juan Mann. One by one people around him wanted to hug him.  They hug each other happily, and then they smile each other after they did it. After all people did the free hug campaign, something bad happen. Police banned the Free Hugs campaign, they tried to stop the campaign which conducted by Juan Mann. But, Juan Mann didn’t stop the campaign. He tried to explain the purpose of the campaign to the police. He made petition to get one thousand signatures from people who agree with this campaign. Fortunately many people were touched and support this campaign. They gave their signatures to support this campaign. Some people even tried to talk with the police and hug the police. In the end of this video, the police allowed this campaign. I think the main point of this video is to keep our togetherness as a human who can’t live individually. As we know nowadays, people are getting rarely to socialize with other people who they do not know. In this video, Juan Mann tried to remind us to care about our environment and our social-life.
