He served as the Chief of Staff of the US Army during the 1930s and later played an important role on the Pacific front during World War II. MacArthur received the Honorary Medal. He was appointed commander of the invasion of Japan, which was planned to begin in November 1945. But when it was deemed no longer necessary, MacArthur officially accepted the surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945. MacArthur oversaw the Japanese occupation from 1945 to 1951 and was recognized for its contributions to the country's profound democratic changes. He commanded the United Nations-led General Forces to protect South Korea from North Korean attack from 1950–1951. MacArthur was dismissed as commander in April 1951 by President Harry Truman for failing to listen to the superiors regarding his failure to follow presidential instructions.

When I was 10 years old, I was moved to a new house. This house was very beautiful, and my room is beautiful, too!
When I opened the door, I could hardly believe what I saw. Had my wish come true? The room painted pink is my room! It is lighter and it also has a wide window from where you can see the mountains and a country landscape. It has a very big balcony with a view at the sea. There are many nice pictures hunging from the wall. In one side, there is a huge bed covered by a patchwork cover, and small lamp on the bedside table. There not only a table, a desk with a computer but alsao a TV. My guitar and the piano are in the corner of the room and there are many colour lights in the ceiling. There is a small white rug on the wooden floor and plenty of books are on the shelves opposite to the bed.
Thanked to my parents that building for me a nice room!
