■ 제시문

First of all, I would like to say hi to all of you. I am a thirteen year old Korean girl named Lim Sae-Bom. I am here to convince you to vote for me as president of the world. Some of you may say 〃You are too young!〃 I really do not care about that because I am young. That means that I have a lot of time to prepare and get the things that are necessary to be a world leader. That is the first reason why you have to vote for me. The second reason is that I am a little girl. This society needs to be civilized with women and men's distinctions. I can and I promise to grow up to be a great lady who can lead our world in the right path, and to make an environmentally friendly world. These things could seem to be quite small. However, you must know that these reasons are the most important thing to make the world right. Believe me, vote for me. It is the right thing for you.
