8th class "About my friend."

2007-06-03T06:17:00.000-07:00

I have a friend who are so special for me.
Her name is Tomomi. She is Japanese. I met her in a English conversation institution. in New Zealand.
At first time, we couldn't talk each other because I didn't know how to speak in English at that time but 1month later I got a mail form her to make a plan in Christmas eve. I was so surprise to get a mail form her because I've just met her for 2 times before. Anyway, I made a plan to go to a pizza hut in town but it was closed and the other restaurants as well. So we went to my home and then we cooked pasta. It was awful. After we ate that, we watched a DVD and then we talked all day until boxing day.
After the day, she is be my best friend.
So, I visited her house everyday to talk and to eat some food.
Actually, she couldn't cook well, but I always visited her house because she is a good listener. Her reaction is so good that it's easy to talk with her.
I told her most of my story and she did.
When I left New Zealand, she cried so much. I though it is quite difficult to meet her in my life, but she has visited Korea 5 times and I've been Japan one time.
Every time when we meet, my feeling becomes so cozy.
It's the best thing to her more over she is so kind.
When I visited in Japan she guided me around Tokyo.
She spent lots of money and time. It was so busy season to her, but she played with me all of my trip in Japan for 3 days.
She is all heart.

8th class News...

2007-05-28T06:13:00.001-07:00

I turned on internet and I connected a web site. In the first page ZARD's picture was there.
The singer is one of my favorite, so I clicked it and then I was so surprised.
A good singer passed away.
Her name is Sakai Isumi. She is Japanese.
She have many hit songs for 16 years.
Last year, she made a disc for her 15th Anniversary.
A few days ago, I heard she is in hospital because of uterine cancer.
At that time, most of her fans pray to her for complete recovery.
However she passed away because of concussion of the brain not the cancer.
I listened her song since I was high school student.
Korea government didn't do any cultural exchange so it's so difficult to get any CD.
but my friends and I who were into her lovely voice tried my way to get CDs.
I still have her discs. My friend who visited Japan he gave me one of the them.
Most of my closed friends know that I really like her songs.
Maybe if you listen her song and then you understand the ward, you will like her.
When I finished to read the article, I sent a txt to my friends.
All of them couldn't believe the news easily.
Now, I came back home and then I'm listening her songs.
Maybe my CD player will not stop playing her songs all night.

7th class. About stress ㅡㅡ^

2007-05-19T07:23:00.000-07:00

Money is the biggest problem what bring me lots of stress nowadays.
Generally most of male who finish their military service earn their own pocket money.
I usually spend 200 thousand won a month.
So, I have to have some part time job.
However, I don't have enough time to work for money because I have to study for my future.
So, study is the most important thing this period to me.

I can't afford to make time to earn some money now, so I make economies.
Truly my spend is not small but all of thing what I do outside needs money.
I would like to get a job after this semester so I will make money more then I do part time job.
So, my conclusion is that I must have a job ASAP.
If I get my monthly salary I will spend it to buy something for relieve my stress form money.

You and Three friends take a taxi home agter midnight.
How much would you give the driver as a tip?
--------------------------------------------------------
We usually don't give any tip in Korea. It's kind of culture. If we give a tipe to the driver, it will be possible to make him angry, because it is not familiar to us. However sometimes I give my all change for a tip it the change is not over one thousend won. When I wivited Europe, I had to think about how much I should give for a tip. So, I mean it is depend on place and culture.

You know, when people take a taxi agter stop buses working we should pay a surchatge.
I generally take taxi one time a month, because the surcharge is so expensive.
That's why I always think about bus and subway time table ,especially I am far from my house.
I take a taxi hardly ever but every time when I take it, I always miss the taxi fee.

5th class "Quiz!"

2007-05-05T09:04:00.000-07:00

I would like to talk about David Robert Joseph Beckham.

He is one of the good player in this century.

Many people know about him except me.

I don't like to watch sport match. I just like to play it.

Anyway, I heard Beckham play in Realmadrid which is a reachest club in this world.

You know, his nick name is a magician of freekick and also a world best kicker.

He earned ￡31.2million last year ,and he is going to go to a LA galaxy ,so he will get 65million dollar form the club. It's a new record.

He will get the highest price in the LA galaxy players.

By-the-way, USA was a correct answer but my team answered USA league.

We though you ask us which league Beckham will play.

4th class

I agree with corporal punishment. When I was middle school student, I get good mark form teachers who punished me to make me do hard worker. I studied hard because I scare my teacher hit me. So, punishment is a ultimate motive to make student study. You know, I graduated my high school about 7 years ago but I still remember some teacher who concerned about me and hit me. I remember them as good for me.

However, I don't agree with punishment what doing without reason and is difficult to understand. That is just what giving pain upon students.

Actually I wanted to became a teacher and I thought I will never do any physical punishment because I had a awful feeling when I was punished.

3rd class.

Most of car drivers usually break the rule of the speed limit.
Actually I did many times. Korea road system is good especially Seoul because Seoul has lots of car during the time which people go for a work and go back home.
So, Seoul has many direct to get our own destination. That's why I drive so fast when the road is not busy.
However most of road have large number of camera which to findout some car which break the rule of speed.
I think most of Korean are so impetuous that dirve fast.
That's why, most of driver have nevigater or GPS system in their car.
The machines recognize where should we slow down and can we drive fast.
If you are took by the camera you should pay 60000won at one time and you get 15 point.
If you get 40 point, you will have to get drive licence again.
It means your licence is not work anymore since the day which you make 40 point.
I think this punishment is not bad and not good.
If this punishment became a good thing, our garvement has to chang the rate of speed limit.
Have you been Namsan 2nd turnel? Their speed limit is 40km/hour.
Is it possible to drive that speed in the turnel?
That's why I break the rule. ^^
We don't need hard and fast rule anymore.

2nd Class Emotions and Feelings.

2007-03-31T07:48:00.000-07:00

Annoying is that something makes somebody feel some angry. When my young cousines visit my place, they run all around there and sometimes they cried without any problem, that sort of thing made me so angry. It is the annoying.

I love the word of happy. happy means that sth bring me good feelings. The very beginning of vacation, I feel so happy, because I can do something for my favorite. I also feel happy when I get something what I want.

Actually, I don't know the word of pumped is feelings or emotion and what mean it is as well until the last class. However I'm gonna write about it! When I really want to something and then I get a chance todo or get it, I will be pumped.

In this class I knew some new voca and I understand the differenties of smiller meanings.

1st class - First Impressions...

2007-03-31T07:46:00.000-07:00

At first, I will dress myself cleanly and then I will get my workplace a little early.After that, I will make smile to meet my coworkers. I will be a attentive person when my coworkers say something or teatch me. If I have a chance to introduce myself, I will speak clearly. I don't want to my coworkers consider I'm timid. More over I have to remember most of my coworker's name because it's quite rude if I call someone like this "hey~!".It goes without saying that I have to use polite expressions even for someone is younger then me. All of this are appropriate things in my case.Turly, when I meet a woman, I look at her hair style, face, clothes and accessory.After that I build her impression by talking wiht her. So, I do what is the best way to make a good impression. I care about my clothes and some accessory. I justly use polite expressions.If I meet male, I will do almost same as I meet female.
