The ideal job

I think the most ideal job is the work that I can enjoy.
The work may be stressful and give oppressions for me
but it can lift a burden from my job the moment I start to enjoy it !
To be enjoyable in my job, I think it's important
to do what comes naturally and find a work that I like to do.

In my case, my major is art in my university.
For that reason, after I graduate college,I want to get a job related to my major, art.
Whenever I concentrate in my work(drawings or sketching),
I feel happy and don't even notice the time goes by
although I have to spend all night to do my work.
I enjoy my work in that degree ^^

Therefore, getting a ''enjoyable" job is the essential part of working.

Parenthood

To be able to be a "parent", I think we need "responsibility" to take care of the family.
Also, you have to spend more time with your family than spending your personsonal time unless you have a child.

In my occasion, my parents tried to spend time with me since I was a little child and that made me chance to get closer with them. Some of my friends don't even try to have a conversation with their parents since they passed through adolescent, which is the age of puberty.

However, in my case my parents tried to understand the storm and stress of that age and neither I didn't even think of assuming a defiant attitude toward my parents as my friends did,at that time of year.

Looking back in those days, I perceived the truth that children's attitude or behaviors depends upon on how their parents treat them since they were a little child. Also, I apprieciate about my parent's wisdom that the way they raised me. That makes me feel to return their favor somehow ^^

slang

Using a slang is a quite serious issue in Korea.
Many middle and high students say bad words although they know how bad the meanings are. Most of them follow the slangs from the movies or television, as well, since they were young.

For this reason, lots of children,even under middle school ages,can also approach bad words (slangs) easily than before. It is a serious problem for them and also for the parents
because the children learn the slangs before they know the meanings of it.

Therefore, they can use those bad words to any persons in any situation, such as to their grandparents in a formal position. This might cause a big problem for the whole society, if most of the young children uses like that. Unfortunately, this problem has already been spread out in society of Korea.

Therefore, We need to try to decrease using slangs in mass media, which is easy to approach by children. We need to set a good model to the children, who are the hope of our future.

Compare English with Korean

Between English and Korean: there are more differences than something in common.
English have many differences with Korean. First of all; subject, verb and object of the sentence's order is different with English. Actually, it's opposite with English.
For this reason, Koreans run against into lots of difficulty learning in English at first time.
So did I ! It really confused me and and every sentence's order complicated me, as well.
The second thing is its pronounciation is hard to pronounce to Korean.
Therefore: It takes quite long time to pronounce English well like a native speaker to us.
These things made me confused to learn English, but now I am getting used to it
and going through these obstacles ! :)

Describe the attitude of Koreans

Etiquette is the most important thing in my country.
For this reason, attitudes toward the politeness is very essential to the people who lives in Korea.
It's important to indicate the respect,especially to the old.
We usually learn how to behave politely and some of courtesies to act in front of the elderly, before we learn scholarly activities in school.
Most of the adults consider the good manners as the most important thing in Korea. That is why they teach etiquettes to their children since they are young. The children have been taught lots of manners from their parents, such as table manners or behaviors in public places in front of the old.
Therefore, attitudes toward the etiquettes to the elderly plays an important part in my country.

My source of strength

My source of strength is "Having a various experience" in my life.
I think having an experience is the most important thing for our own lives. Although it wasn't a good memory or well experience in the past, it could be a living lesson during your life someday.
This is the reason why I have chosen to study abroad. I thought it could be a good experience for my life, and it is ! ^^
When I arrived here in the U.S, I had made lots of mistakes because it was so unfamiliar for me to understand other country's cultures and language. However, all experiences that I have gone through is being a good lesson of my life, even today. I am passing through a varied experiences and learning a living lesson from those, at the same time.
Therefore, having a various experience is the most important source of my life, and it's worth it !

Life as an ELI student

Being an ELI student in the university is quite fun and interesting experience in the U.S. There is lots of positive sides than the negative one. First, Making friends from all around the World makes me joyful and getting know each other's culture is interesting. I have been studying English here in ELI since last session. At first, I was nervous because it was my first time for being alone in another country without my family. However, as soon as I get used to it, I made lots of friends from another countries, and get along with them easily. So we became more closer by knowing each other's cultures and livings, although we can't understand each other's own language. Also, learning English here in the U.S is one of the most exciting exprience because I don't have a chance to speak with a foreigner, if I study in my own country although I study hard. Talking against to American makes me more easy to improve my English skill. Therefore, life as an ELI student is being an exciting experience , even today .
