My secret café

Although many people can use this place, this place is private to me. So, I always visit this place alone and spend time reading books, listening music and surfing the internet. Most of people in this place are alone so this place is very quiet and peaceful. So when I am stressful or want to arrange my thoughts, I always visit here. Spending time in here gave me rest, relaxation, and peace. Finding a place that is peaceful is important to everyone, but it can be difficult for many people. Also, not many people would think of a cafe as a peaceful place because café in Korea is usually noisy. But I found it to be a great place. Moreover, this place is meaningful because I found this café at my hardest time.
One day, two years ago, I was really upset and stressful because I screwed up my test. So, to refresh myself, I walked around town alone. After walking an hour, I became tired and needed a rest. So I entered a café named 'the corner. I don't know why I entered that café. The café looked very cozy to me. When I entered a café, there was no one and soft music played in the background. I liked the intimacy of atmosphere, light and soft music in café. So I felt a lot better after a good long rest. After that, I often went that café. Every time I went that café, there was nobody or were just a few people. So I used to go there to study and arrange my thoughts. After I become a university student, I still go this café very often. I usually do my assignments or just relax with a cup of coffee.
Whenever I enter this café, a faint aroma of coffee tickles my nose. And background music is always classic or jazz. Also, because this café faces south, it receives a lot of sun. And, to the right is open coffee bar with wood colored walls. Also, there is shelf filled with exotic and foreign imported figures and windows behind this shelf are gold and square framed. To the left are seating areas furnished with large comfortable chairs and small tables, designed with lots of small intimate spaces for quiet conversations. Also, Bookshelves are covered with a variety of books ranging from the religious and philosophical texts to classics in literature. And the paintings and frames are displayed throughout the café on the wall. The paintings are all local artists to purchase and phrases written in frames are all from the Bible.
This café is like candy and chocolate. Because whenever I eat candy and chocolate, sweet flavors and scents make me happy. Like this, whenever I go this café, peaceful environments always make me peaceful and even high. Also, this café is like my home. Because I don't wear any make up or fancy clothes to go this cafe. I am sure there is no place that I can go without make up except my home. It means that I don't have to care about other's eyes. Now, this café is not well-known to my neighbors and I really hope that this café remains my only secret and private place forever.

ReplyDelete1. I liked the way the writer described interior design of the cafe and its atmosphere. I could easily understand how she feels about the cafe.
2. yes but except one sentence which is "After walking an hour, I became tired and needed a rest. So I entered a café named 'the corner. I don't know why I entered that café." She said she felt tired because she walked so long and that's why she went to cafe.So saying "I don't know why I entered that café" made me confused.
3. I like the whole third paragraph because it shows the image of cafe very clearly and meaningfully.
4. Very peaceful and calm. Also cozy, delightful and comfortable.
5. It is the place she can relieve her stress and enjoy tea time.
6. I would recommend to reorganize the structure. I think it is better to shorten the introduction and conclusion paragraphs' length and to make the body in three paragraghs. It will look more well-organized.
