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?

write 200+ words about one of your other classes.

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.
