In heeji’s writing, she claims that reliability is the best policy in having a relationship with friends. I can tell that is so true. I’ve had lots of friends but the true is that most of my friends are not belong to me anymore. As time went by they were gone.

The true friends are very few. But I can tell they are much more value than any other friends that I’ve met in entire life. Most of my real friends have honest personality that I can trust them easily. As I said before in my previous writings, some people feel anxious about telling a secret to other. There are always possibilities that the one can say things to other. If the person you are talking to is trustworthy I strongly recommend you to share burden with them. That will release your stresses like heeji does to get away from worries.

What do you want most in a friend

What do you want most in a friend: someone who is intelligent, someone who has a sense of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice


Some people think friend with wisdom is important in one's successful life. However, I strongly believe there is no requirements are needed when people are having relationships. I don't mind whether my friends’ personality is bad or nice, because they are my friends whatever they are. The only thing that I want from my ideal friends is being honest with me. Honest can either develop or destroy relationship. It is clear that the friendship is about sharing everything. w friends share about things that we can't tell to parents or boy friend and girlfriend.

I want my friend to be someone I can rely on. I get my energy by hanging out with my friends. Even though we don’t say anything. We can understand their feeling, because they are so close to me. We know everything. True friend will know how to secure my fault and they will fill an empty space in my life.

Therefore, honest is the best policy from all. Friend in benefit will not show you everything that they have. I can easily trust a person who has honest personally. It is really hard to be honest all the time. so I am still looking for my ideal friend that I can rely on them sometime and I can take care of their hurtful heart. It is really hard for me to find person with honest personality. If I find one that will be my husband, I would live my life with him.

learning about life is by listening to the advice

Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family or friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.

Some people think that firsthand experience is the best method of learning. you can acquire knowledge easier and faster by experience. Also, experiential learning is much more motivational. However, it is danger to experience everything. in my opinion, taking advice is wiser decision. This is because if you go to someone to get advice, that means the advice is coming from someone that you can rely on and trustworthy. I mean financially, mentally or even physically that person who gives advantage will better in situation. Also they might help you practically. For example, they might let you borrow money, or they can help you study! Sometimes good advice is harsh to the ear. However, it is much better to hear about other people opinion, and take it into a action.

on the top of that, a person's passion for learning is stimulated by hearing from older people. you can give expertise easier and more quickly by doing things. asking for a advice helps syou learn it with less effort and in less time, and learning through direct experience is far more dangerous to face hardships. i strongly disagree that doing things yourself.

Romantic Comedy is the best Genre ever!

4. Optional extra credit: Write 200+ words about a book that you have read, a film or TV program that you have seen, or a song that you like. Tell why you like it.



When I have many complicated thoughts in my head I love to watch Romantic Comedy movies. Watching a comedy movie is always exciting. This helps me to forget about worries. And Romantic movies are always good for women! Especially in Romantic movies, the actor is always looking good. It makes me to dream about myself' love story that will really happen in the future.


I don't usually watch same movie over and over again. But i watched The Notting Hill over 10times; this movie is about love story between famous actress from Hollywood and ordinary guy who owns record shop in Nottinghill, UK. The Guy crushes on her but he hesitates all the time. He is not sure about having a relationship with famous actress. So the woman was got to leave UK and she says she will never going to come back to UK to Public because she wanted to forget about him. When she says that, He asks her to go out. She changes her mind completely. And that story was very impressive. Even there was a huge barrier between them. Their love got over.

I really want to experience that kind of feeling. I have Dreams that I want to do when I find True Love. When I watch Romantic comedy movies like The Notting hill also this releases my stresses while sharing feelings with actors. It is always nice to have rest in your busy life while watching comedy movies with comfy couch and popcorn.

3. On the blog, write a summary of the information that you found. Link to the original source.

To be honest, I have no interest in any genre of music, reading meterials and TV shows. But I really love Drawing. I've studied art and paintings when I was in high school. I wanted to be a designer, not a kindergarten teacher. When I went to Seoul private art museum the picture of Gogh caught my eye. I felt love with Impressionism. So I learnt drawing and painting. I also like going to art gallery. If I became really rich, I want to make my own art gallery.

Last time, we talked about impressionism in the class, it was kind of familiar to be, I went to several art galleries even abroad. Recently, I went to National art galleries in Montreal, Canada. They had so many pieces of drawings and painting. Each floor had different theme.

I love pictures from 19th century the best; the painters are so into expressing natural lights from outdoors. I think that is because there was too much artificial light were, since the light bulb was invented at that time.

On the top of that, I really got interested in curating(displaying pictures, in Italy). I read about books that teaches curator jobs:)

Every day we hear lots of 'eco' words and every day we are being asked. How can we preserve our earth by being Eco-friendly person? Environmental Many people concern about environment. and it is big issue among nation.

big companies try to represent how they are trying to be eco friendly company, they attract consumers who are interested in preserving earth. However, it is not enough for being wise consumer. Individual should think more about environment.

Earth is quickly destroyed from industlisation. To live eco friendly life, we should start questioning whether it is affecting negative impact on the earth or not. Pollution, rampant use of natural resources, and other activities, people should realize.

especially for the chongshin student, it is very important to learn about environment, participate more on compains. How can be Green?
1. cut down on elecrticity use by replacing electronic machines to hand powered tools
2. boycott products with mysterious chemicals. ( read product labe carefully)
3. planting a vegetable garden
4. Get out, walk! instead of taking car
5. power down PCs. (U.S. waste almost $4 billion annually on nighttime electricity for computers)
6. wash clothes in cold water. ( washing clothes in "hot" water uses almost twice as much energy as washing them in "warm" water.

What is the most interesting thing you have learned in that class this semester?

Before I talk about interesting things that I learned in this semester, I would like to introduce my friend. ARon, Park. He is studying Theology in Chongshin University. He is senior.

I met him as a tutor- tutee. I heard of Tutoring system that is giving me a extra credits in English course that i choose. I thought it would be great chance to get extra credits. So i applied as a tutor.

The tutoring center introduced me ARon. He said he wanted to learn ' English Speaking'. It was very hard for me to teach someone who is older than me. However, we got close. It is not awkward anymore to teach someone older than me.

I love this Very much, because when I teach him, I also learn a lot. Actually, since my major is early childhood education. I never thought about teaching an adult. Therefore it was very scary for me to do it. I didn't want to do it. I complained to tutoring center all the time.

However, when I started it. I learned about dealing with adult learner. not just from book, But also facing with difficulties that I deal with.

Now I really am looking forward to having a tutoring again.

Write about someone you admire.

A person i admire.

Everyone has at least one person in like that stands as a person you admire
A person that you may known very well. The person that inspires me the most is my English teacher
who taught me during high school years.

She was the one who made me to study english.
No one would thought about 'me' studying English. I wasn't actually interested in language However, my english teacher had great personality. that made everyone in my class to study english. she encouraged me to study English. So my English score increased over 20points after studying with her.

Teacher should have right attitudes towasd the student. especially Teacher is teaching various students in one large group. most of teachers that i've met in korea high school never considered about students differenciation. all they did is giving a lecture. However, My English teacher, she never lost beautiful smiling face in class room. she was patient.

It was gracious to have her as a my english teacher. her name is 김인정(injung kim) it means Warm heart in korea. she had great personality just as her name. she knew how to pinpoint the student's characteristics and provided different opportunities for the students to develop their own talents. when i had hard time with my friends and family she is the one who encouraged me a lot. she gave me the strength to deal with all the problems with schools also. she is the one who recommended me to come to chongshin university.

I am very thankful to god that having me great teacher. I want to learn lots of teaching methods in chongshin. when i graduate chongshin i want to be teacher like her.

we've got married

we’ve just got married. (우리 결혼했어요.)

 

Among the teenager in Korea this TV program is very popular. Most teenagers go crazy about it because some famous Korean idol stars are in this show. This TV show is about having a fake marriage between teen stars. They get a mission that can happen in only real marriage. This is very interesting because we don’t have much chance to see the TV stars living just like ordinary people. Also, lots of people enjoy watching them.

 

 

 

All the watchers are curious about what would their marriage look like. It is fun to watch without any thoughts. It gives such a relaxation by just watching famous stars fake marriage life. This show is already a big hit in over the Asia. Some people find the show the incredibly boring. Since this show is all about imaginary.

 

 

However, this TV show provides great relaxing time. While laying on a couch and having some popcorn. You won’t regret watching it.

 

 

what i learned from Chongshin University

As some reader already knows, I am studying early childhood education. I believe my school does not teach the teaching technique but ability to communicate with students that we teach. It is very hard to get to be close with students as a teacher in Korean public school. Students are eager to enter ivy leagues in Korea SO THAT they never want to have a close relationship with teachers unless they need recommendation letters from teacher.

I am learning how we can be friend-like teacher. From the school years I’ve learn that we can be easy when we summit our limits and let us hold by god. Studying in Chongshin University gives lots of time to think about being a REAL teacher. We can see the real teachers’ job on Jesus’ life also.

 Especially in early child education course, we learn things that effects to child development. Every human being goes through specific steps to grown up. In every step they have certain needs that must be satisfied to fully develop. If one needs get lack it causes very effect on their personality. I want to give my great care with love. To make my students to be awesome when they grown up as a adult.

3. Reading: Read two different reviews of the same movie. Upload your report here on Educlass.
Review 1
  Web address:http://tech.mit.edu/V119/N28/nottinghill_rev.28a.html
  Writer’s opinion of the movie: too typically love story.
  Write at least 3 useful phrases that you found on the site: Because the main ploy of Notting Hill is certainly nothing new, the movie sets itself up
The script is generally pleasing and includes the obligatory “falling in love” montages.
Even though Notting Hill succeeds in entertaining nearly as well as most of them, it certainly doesn’t raise the ante.

Review 2
  Web address: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/reviews
  Writer’s opinion of the movie: Warm and Human British Comedy,
  Write at least 3 useful phrases that you found on the site
Notting Hill is a district of west London that was built as a fashionable Victorian suburb.
As another reviewer has pointed out,
 Anna is beautiful and successful, but underneath it all she is insecure, worried about losing her fame and fortune and about her inability to form lasting relationships with men.

great flower exhibition!

I want to introduce the place that I really like to go in my free time. That is called as the lake park. It is located in middle of the Ilsan. This place is quite famous since many Korean drama directors come to take a scene here. The Lake Park has a beautiful lake that you can observe many organisms. Personally i like to go visit Lake Park because it gives me such a nice feeling from nature. There is flower exhibition coming in late April. You can see millions of different kinds of flowers and unique plants from variety of country. There is lots of programs holding as well. Just to give you some thought, in last year K-pop stars had a concert, and lots of flower stores came and they sold the plants in very cheap price. Lots of family is interested in attending flower school programs. it is very popular among parents, they are coming to Ilsan to see those beautiful flowers. Usually they make big character shapes with flower, which gives great chance to take photograph with. Also there is MBC Dream-Center right near the lake park. you can see 무한도전 members usually on Thursday, and the other famous people too. I’ve seen many comedians and sometimes announcers too! i am looking forward you to come!!

thanks letter

 

Dear. 김인정 teacher.

 

I write you this to show my respect to you. It is you who made me to get interested in learning English. Before I met you, English was just difficult challenge for me. However, your attitudes to ward student made great relationship together. also, this influenced in class also. I think building a close relationship between you and students made better classroom atmosphere. So many people could involve more. You knew how to pinpoint the student’s characteristics and you provided many different activities that during English class. The reason that I am taking English courses is because I wanted to teach English like you. As you know most high school teacher teaches in very strict condition. Students have to obey what teacher says. And I wanted to break that rule. I wanted to show how student learn from love. I wanted to share god’s love and show it to kids. I know that students act differently as what teacher does. I want to give them love. It was really pleasure to have you as my English teacher. I learned a lot in English and teaching method. I want to become a teacher like you. i can never forget your passion in teaching english. you are best teacher ever.

 

Love. 다영

my old friend.

i dont really like to hang out with friends who is male.
because i know that it might brings some midunderstanding of others. but the guy i met this week was quite different.  i met my male friend this week, we want for dinner. i have not seen him for a long time. so i was so pumped to see him again. but i was quite angry just before i met him because he was really late on time. but after seen him, every feeling of anger were kinda melt away.
it was nice to see him again we talked about secrets that we would never tell to other people who is not really close.we talked almost 3hours. it is amazing since guys are usually dont talk very much.
i guess i talked more them he did. but we shared about our churches, about bad things and good things of being christian.
and we tried to make a promise of being christian. so we can stay in good relationship with god. 


and we talked about my boyfriend. and he were talking about the girl that he was crush on.
we talked about my boyfriend who is abroad to study( he is in english major in chongshin) i kind  of wanted to know about guys. and he gave me some great advice. and i gave him some advice to him to be brave with love! but he thought it is not right time to make a girl friend. he wanted to get close with god more before have a relationship with someone.

i think i spent very special week with my friend.
it was very nice to share worries with him

interesting factor about sophie.

hello readers <3

this is sophie and my korean name is 신다영.
 i will quickly point out my characteristics.
duble majoring english and early childhood education
my dream is becoming a teacher for kindergarden kids.
teaching job is very rewarding, i mean, it is mentally rewarding.
(as professor heidi would had felt this feeling in chongshin university )
i want to become a teacher so i can motivate kids to learn.

I’d like to study at a university in US. i mean as a exchange student this year. because I have my best friend in that area that i met when im traveling canada, i really miss them. and It would be nice to have them close by so I could visit them on holidays and in case I need advice or someone to go shopping togeter. also studying abroad was my childhood dream, that i desire so much. so i'm going to apply for the exchange studnet to dort university. hopely I’d probably be accepted in there.

 

now, i want to talk about the othe things like things that i do, or things that i like to do. for onw thing. when I have many complicated thoughts in my head, i love to watch comedy movies. Watching a comedy movie is always exciting this could help me to forget about worries. Also this releases my stresses while i am laughing.  It is nice to take rest in my busy school life while watching a comedy movie with comfy couch and eating popcorn. imagine! how relaxing it will be!

 

and i sometimes go to the park to read a book. There is a national park near my house, which holds an worldwide flower exhibition every year. I really like to visit there since you can enjoy the nature while studying. When i am constantly inside, I tend to lose sight of nature. but, when I go out to study, I can enjoy studying lying on a grass. And think about how beautiful they are. however, this depends on the weather so much that i can never think of going out to study in wintertime.

 

alright, it is done for to day. im taking english writing course in this semaster. some people my laugh at my writing. however, i will be good writer after all. and i promise that i will practice a lot to achieve my dream.
