What is a good teacher?

　Teacher is a person who gives instruction and teaches a study, but the good teachers should love their students and should be a model to students. Of course to teach something and to make someone understand something is very hard, but I think the reason to become a teacher is really hard is that one should show their love and good example of life. When I worked at my part-time Job, I have taught English to middle school students. It was a very hard work, because model to students. I'm not sure am I a good teacher to students, but I'm sure although I didn't have a good abilities to teach English, I did my best to be a good teacher. I made efforts to make my students like studying English and never give up their study. Of course, it isn't easy! I should study at my job to teach English students who need my help. Actually, what I want to say is I think my professor Jung isn't good to me. I know he always tries to make us be a really good students and global leader, so he always pushes up us to study. Although his real purpose of pushing up is to help us. I'm hurt by his class. Now I lose my confidence, so I'm not good at talk about my opinion using English in front of many people. Before I lose my confidence, I didn't worry about that. I think he made me as a idiot. Of course I admit his passion about teaching English and helping us to be a good person, but I think he makes a mistake about choosing the teaching way. I hope him to be a good professor and I recover my confidence. To recover my confidence, I decide to participate in Dongseo Speech Contest! Although I'm not good at speeching and my pronunciation isn't clear, I'll try to recover my confidence. I don't want to win a prize, but I really want to recover my confidence, and don't be afraid of making mistake and standing in front of many people.

Slave

　According to dictionary, a salve indicates someone as a slave when they are completely under the control of another person or of a powerful influence. More specific, it is is someone who is the property of another person and has to work for that person.Actually Abraham Lincoln emancipated slaves, but I think these days slaves still exist. What I mean, most of the peoples are slaves for something like money. They don't have their life purpose, and they are completely under the control of something. For example, money isn't everything, it isn't more precious than ourselves,and we don't have to have much money to be happy, but most of the peoples including me really like much money and they try to just make a money. It raises many people concentrate on result, because if result isn't good, they can't get compensation like some money. It is not good ! Actually I think so far, the reason I study was to receive scholarship, so it makes me concentrate on my exam result and if it isn't good, I was very stressful and frustrated. It is very wrong, not only it can't lead a good result, but also it can't give me the power of study. I should study for my future, and my life purpose isn't just to make much money. I don't want to be a slave for money, and I am not a slave. From now on, I should always remember what is my purpose of life and study.

Voluntary Activity

　Every second week, I went to Young Keum Old Men Sanatorium to help old men. Actually I was very stressful for my assignments and exams and very tired, but I should go there, because I had responsibility for the fulfilment of obligations. On arriving, I had to arrange trashes and clean the beds and windows. Then I helped old men participate in their religious activity. This was the first time I met old men who live second floor, so I didn't know who is in pain or where is the their pain. Because of this reason I made some mistakes. Some old women want to stay with me, and others said to me, "Please take me away. I am alone. Please." It wrings my heart to see them, They looks unhappy and suffers from loneliness. It teaches me how much precious youth is. Actually I envied them, because they looks comfortable. I thought they don;t have to study, work, or clean and they just take a rest, but maybe it didn't give them happy. Hard study is what I can do because of my youth and health. If I don't have youth or health, I can't do any study, so I should thanks for my youth and health. From now on I'll do everything which I can do because of my youth and health. Today, my good experience gives me good instructions.

Midterm Exam

　I had my midterm exam. I have thought I tried to do my best, but my grades are not enough to compensate my efforts. Actually I didn't know exactly about exam-results,but I am worried about that.I think sometimes the grade is unfair, because even if I did my best and tried and tried, if I make many mistakes in the exam, nobody can't admit my efforts. I'm worried that I won't be able to take good result and the scholarship, but I think it teaches me how to live the society. It is competitive society,so I should fight with myself and my competitors!
I can't stop and be frustrated, but I should keep my work and do my best. No Pain, No Gain!

　HR experts call for education reform

Friday, October 26, 2007

[National]

　This story is about that 150 experts from 24 countries representing different international organizations, corporations and universities took part in the conference to discuses education reforms. The reason I chose this article is I want to be a teacher, so I am interested in education. I think education is a very important thing, because strength of a country greatly depends on education, so it's up to our future. In this conference they discussed education reforms, producing highly skilled workforces in global businesses, national human resources strategies and social partnerships. I think to make a education revolution, we should practice, and not just finish as a conference. First of all, Education opportunity should be equal! I think education is the right of people, so as a person we should have a basic education. Actually we need a lot of money to study. I think it's not good, because it raises problems of the rich-get-richer, but the poorer-get-poorer. It is wrong, because it isn't equal to poor people. When I was a high school student, I thought if I'll be a rich, I'll give scholarship to students who have abilities, but can't study because of money problems. Anyway, I think the best way to solve this problem, the government should treat this problems.

Strong Pride

　I have a strong pride. If I have a confidence about something, I don't want to lose in the fight. I don't know exactly strong pride is good or bad. Sometimes it becomes my power to help me work more hard, but sometimes it gives me hurt and marrow heart. It makes me hate someone. I think having too strong pride isn't good for me. Even if someone who isn't better than me teaches me something. I should try to learn from everyone. Actually every people have different strong points, so there is nobody who isn't better than me. Maybe having too Strong pride makes me arrogant. I think a humble attitude is better than arrogance, having proper confidence and responsibility is much better. If I just concentrate on my pride, it is more easy to lose good opportunities and good friends, because it makes my heart be closed.

France debates presidential divorce

Friday, October 19, 2007

　

[International]

　This story is about Persistent of France Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Cecilia decide to divorce and it arouse controversy. They dispute the constitution even allows a French president to divorce. The reason I chose this article is when I was a high school student, I learned French, so this word "France" is attractive to me. Not only that reason, this title is so surprising, because I've never imagined about divorcing of president. Actually, these days many people have taken steps toward separation. I think it is not good situation, but of course I don't want to ban divorce. If my husband is a alcoholics or violent person, I can't live together, but many people decide to get a divorce very easily. It is wrong! We should be responsible for our decision. Moreover, in this case Nicolas Sarkozy is the President of France, so he should set a good example and be responsible for his decision and action. Of course, a president's divorce would be a "purely private procedure ... between two private people," but it isn't just private thing. I think he should remember he is the President of France.

Life is precious! ⓑ

　The reason euthanasia should be banned is it could raise many problems. As you know, even if to commit murder is prohibited, many people still kill others. They know if they commit murder, they should be punished severely, but they do. If we admit to do euthanasia, we can't solve many problems. There are a lot of problems which is raised by euthanize. It is possible some people euthanize their family members to receive insurance money. Maybe this example of crime is so terrible, but it could happen.
　
Some people say suffering is very serious, and they can't be patient about their suffering, but we should think of our society. Of course, each person have a right to pursuit of happiness, and the rights of the individual are the most important rights in a free society, but our right to pursuit of happiness couldn't attach great importance to that of life and health. I think some people who agree to euthanize don't have a wider view of the world. If we look at our society and think about problems, we should ban this system.

Life is precious! ⓐ

　Do you know what is the euthanasia ? According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of a human or animal who is incurably ill in a painless or minimally painful way, for the purpose of limiting suffering. Actually There is a controversy on this subject. What do you think of this system? I disagree with this system! It is wrong, it leads many serious problems, and it is same with suicide and homicide. Even if someone who suffer from serious diseases decide to be free from their pain, it is not good. I can't understand why many people chose this system to solve suffering of people. to die is better than to keep your life? I think these days many people make light of human life. It is not desirable for taking light of human life. We should respect human life, because it is more precious than money or any other things. The relations are reversed! We should think about how much precious our lives. I think euthanasia is just an infringement upon personal rights.

Lovely Dog

　In my family, there are five. Father, mother, younger sister, me, and my lovely dog. we call our dog SoonJong. It means you should be a good dog which obey your father. she has lived with our family since I was a middle school student. Actually my father didn't like to take care a dog in my house, but now he really like to my dog. She is so attractiveness. Every day I come home, she always rejoice as she wags her tail. It looks so lovely and cute. It is the key that she is loved by my family. I learned from her greetings how much important greeting is. When I meet someone, I should greet as I smile. Maybe it'll make others happy with my good greeting. These days many people don't greet, and don't think of other people. It is called as an individualism. Even if we think individual happiness and right is very important, we should remember that now we live together. Anyway, my lovely dog, Soonjong is my treasure and my happiness. I love SoonJong ♡

Korea practically abolishes death penalty

Thursday, October, 11, 2007

[National]

　This is story about Korea will be declared as having abolished the death penalty practice and held a ceremony in Seoul yesterday to mark the fourth World Day Against the Death Penalty.

I chose this article because first of all I am attracted by picture of this article and it reminded me of Korean film "The Time Which we are happy." It was a sad movie for me when a hero in this movie was died by death penalty, although he was changed as a good person. Of course, when someone killed others, or committed serious crimes, someone had to be punished, but I think even if he committed vicious crimes, to give the death penalty isn't good. Why do you want to take vengeance? Even if you kill criminal, or criminal is punished by death penalty, that serious problem won't be disappear. What do you think of my idea? they absolutely pay the price for killing someone, but we should respect criminal's personality, and how about give the opportunity that let criminals reflect on their conduct? I think it is good starting to be more peaceful Korea, but we should be careful! we should forgive them,but remember that, and prevent serious crimes.

Chinese actress undergo a plastic operation !

　As you know, these days many people want to be beautiful, so they decide to undergo a plastic operation. A Chinese actress do that like Song Hae Kyo who is a Korean actress. Here is pictures which shows you what happen to her. First picture is the original face of Chinese actress and second of that is after she undergo plastic surgery. It is so similar to Song Hae Kyo. When I saw these picture, I was really surprised. This is because I thought the doctor who perform an operation is very great. His skill is very surprising! Even if Song Hae Kyo doesn't have special points, he produced a good result. Secondly, I thought if she don't have a plastic surgery, she is more beautiful and attraction. Even if she thinks she become more beautiful, she loses her individuality. Most of the people think she don't have a confidence about her face, and her life is just life of imitation. I am worry many people lose their individuality result from plastic operation.

When can we happy?

　Actually when I was a high school student,I really wanted to be a university, because studying was a very difficult job, and the College Scholastic Ability Test was a burden to me. I groaned under a heavy burden, so I really want to be free from my burden. Even if I become a university student, I should study very hard, and have many assignments. Not only that, but I take the responsibility for my action. Now I think it is better than now to have been a high school student. if we always complain of our life, when can we become happy? I think to be happy we should be thankful for the present existing situation, even if it is very hard to overcome. Many people think when they are young, they really want to be adults, and if they are to be adults, they will be happy, and when they are adults, they think when they were children, they were happy.it is better than now to have been children.I think life isn't long, so it isn't enough to be happy, love, thankful for others. What I want to say is to let's live our life more precious!

Importance of studying

　To study is very important, because it's up to the future of me, Korea, and the world, and if I don't study I can't know how to be patient, and how to understand others. Even if I just concentrate on studying English, it teaches me more than English. As you know,. when you study or live your life you should fight yourself and many blocks. I think if I can't control and win myself, I can't be successful in my life. Because of this reason I think people should study. Many students don't know the reason
why they are studying. They just study, because most of the people study, or get a job. It is a matter of regret! If students don't have their goal, it is easy to give up and be tired. My goal of studying is to be a influential
person. It means I want to have a strong power to help others who are in difficulties. To have an influencing power, I always try to do my best. Since you live a life, you should study! It teaches you very important points to live more wiser.

Happy Day

　Last summer vacation, I worked at my part time job, Green mong, sushi turning buffet located in Kyung Sung University town. I had to quit that, because I should concentrate on my study. When I quited the job, I was sorry to part from my colleagues. Anyway, I went to the Green mong with my friends, Nicola, Anna, Ally, and July to eat delicious food. I was able to meet my colleagues and glad to meet them again. They make me welcome and happy. They were the same good,kind, and friendly colleagues, even if I can't stay with them. They made special sushi and fried shrimps for us. They were very delicious and full of their love, so I was thankful to them. Today's meeting reminds of my thinking about meeting in my time. I am to meet many people in my life. I think meeting is very important. In the Korean proverb, there is a good example which shows us how much important to meet is. This is a man is known by the company he keeps. My parents always say to me you should keep good company and be a good friend, because it affects the living of me. Am I a good friend? What Kind of people is a good company? I think real good company is who can help and encourage each other to meet with good results. When I am in trouble, my real friends help me out of my difficulties, and when I am successful, my real friends congratulate me on my success from their heart. Korean proverb says a friend in need is a friend in deed. I want to be a good friend and keep good companies. Anyway, today I really thank for their love and good treatment. I think the people who meet with me when I worked at my part-time job are my good colleagues and my part-time job gave me not only money and good experience but also good colleagues.

Tuesday,October,2,2007

[National]

　This story is about expanded welfare budget.

Next year the government will increase welfare

budget, almost 20 percent compared to this year.

The reason I chose this article is first of all, my

major is social welfare, so I am interested in this

field. I always have thought the government should

up welfare budget. Many people have complained

about tax, because they can't derive any benefits.

You know what, these day many people call this age

the aging society. Actually it;s serious problem!

The government prepare to overcome this problem.

I think they should help those who need help, but I

think it's not just food or money. The government

help them to be able to stand up themselves. For-

example, it give them work. It's real good

distribution! Any way, I think it's good starting to

be a country to give people a happy life.

I dont' know what should I do

　Actually, these day I have suffered from my

future. I think I'm not good at counseling and

helping others, but my major is social welfare.

I think it's very big problem. Of course in every

work fitness for the work is important, but I think

in helping others that is more important than any

others. This is because if I don't like to help others

and love them. I'll draw blood. I don't want to do

that. I don't know what to do. If I finish the Global

Program I should return to my major, social welfare.

Should I keep my major? To decide the way is

always difficult, because we should take respon-

sibility according to my selection. In our lives,

to make a good choice is very important. Anyway,

I am going to keep thinking about my future to make

a good choice.

Importance of health

　Do you know that how much important is health?

Recently, it is getting cold, so I have been suffer

from cold. I have a lot of assignments to do, but it's

so hard to me, because I should overcome not only

lazy, but also my disease. It makes me know

importance of health. If you feel pain, you can't do

what you want to do, or when I enjoyed good health.

I though I didn't have to exercise, but now I think we

should exercise to keep our health. If you really want

to be successful, it's basic of success. To do what

you want, you should be good for your health. From

now on, I am going to try to maintain my health.

Recollection is so beautiful

　

　Do you have a recollection? I think it's so precious assets in my life.

　

Although it was so difficult and hard to overcome after time pass when I

　

think about that, it makes me smile. I lived in Young Do which has beautiful

　

beaches and mountains, so it was so good to live. I went to elementary

　

school and middle school in Young Do , so there are lots of beautiful

　

memory there. Last weekend, I went to there to meet my friends. I was so

　

happy. Of course this is because I met my friends and had a good time.

　

Not only that, but when I walked around there, it reminds me of incident in

　

my childhood. I think many people think they aren't happy. and they think

　

when they are young, they was so happy. Do you know that? When you

　

are young, you really want to be adult. It's so irony. I want everybody to

　

know they are happy and satisfied with their life.
