[Week 12 Extra] What do you want most in a friend?

Speaking of friend, I feel like sorry about it. When I was 5, I had friends who lived in my neighborhood. We used to hang out together well playing a soccer, basketball and the other sports. I definitely can say it was good old days in my life, but it was totally changed when we were in middle school students. The most of them went to the other city. It made us couldn’t hang out together, but I got along well with the other friends from middle school. I had no idea what made me didn’t feel like I couldn’t open my mine to my new friends. I felt a weird whenever I was being with them.

In my childhood, I learned a lesson. The best friend for me is to make me in good mood wherever I do. If you are in good mood with friends, I can have a lot of fun and we can have a lot of new experience going to new place, playing new sports things like that. The reason why I don’t need to care my friends whether the new thing is good or not.

Second, it can be good if we have a lot in common. It makes us can have a good conversation. We can learn about a life from each other during our conversation. It would be very helpful.

 Friend is very important. In the end of this essay, I feel like I have to say thank you to my friends. 

[Week12] The best way of learning about life

Have you ever solved a problem when you think it seemed like you couldn't handle by yourself in your life? In our life, we always get in trouble whether or not you want. What would you do for handling a problem as usual? It’s safe to say that the ways to solve the problems can narrow down to two things. One thing is that we can listen to an advice of the other people. The other thing is that you just handle the problems by yourself and then you can learn about life through your experiences. For me, I have a one person who can ask my problem to him. He is my teacher in my church. I always ask him ‘what should do I do?’ when I get in trouble or I have to choose just one thing. He always gave me the best choices. But even though he give a lot of choices that I can choose, in the end it is my job to choose just one thing. I prefer to learn about life through my experience. What makes me prefer it?

For one thing is that we are still young. It means that if you do something else that you choose, it end up with failing, but it is not late to do some the other thing. If you do the other thing after your fail, you can do the thing well with your experience.

The other thing is that you can learn well about life through your experience more than listening to an advice of your friends or family. Having a experience can be more effective on your life.

But there is a negative impact for learning about life through your experience. It will take a long time to learn about life.

 To the bottom line, I can say the ways learning about life through my own experience and listening to an advice of family and friends are good. 

[Week11] THE KOREAN WAVE

  "THE KOREAN WAVE, HALLYU" Ring a bell? We can call it “popularity of South Korean culture.” Nowadays, a singer, PSY is a hot issue among all around the world. You can hear his song when you are walking on the street in the other country. When was the first time that the word, THE KOREAN WAVES, came out? Let’s back to the history. In 2000, a singer, BOA’s album was sold a million copies in Japan, and a drama, Winter Sonata, got a huge success in Japan in 2001. Recently Psy’s song “Gangam Style” was a worldwide mega hit. Like this, Korean entertainment companies started going around the world. What makes foreigners crazy about THE KOREAN WAVE?  There are two things. One thing is that HALLYU is suitable the tastes of foreign audiences. The other thing is that Korean entertainment use of social media to reach a wider audience. That kind of receipts makes them crazy about THE KOREAN WAVE. If you are a korean, you should proud of yourself.

[Week10] How could Chongshin University or the students be kinder to the environment?

  

   In the world, to protect the environment is becoming big issue. Because our plant is changing. We need to help it change for the better. As a student from Chongshin university, we should protect our planet. The bible say "So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Good blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. GENESIS 2 : 21 - 22. As you saw, the God gave a privilege to be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. But, now, we destroy all them. As a christian we should protect them.

" 1. Lights out! Turning lights off when you're not in the room (make sure no-one else is too!) can save a lot of energy.

2. Save it! All of the electricity saving tips in the above section will also help reduce pollution.

3. Reduce your mileage eating food and drinking drinks produced in the UK reduces the carbon footprint of your diet. This means that you are helping to reduce pollution! Look at the for little red tractor on products in your supermarket

4. Get your teeth into it We brush our teeth twice a day and by turning the tap off while we brush we can save 5-10 litres of water. If every adult in the UK did this then we’d save enough water for 500,000 homes. So, kids - let’s show them how it’s done!

5. Save trees Save trees by recycling your own paper. Paper with a clean side can be made into notepads with a simple staple or a hole to tie a piece of string. These are great for doodles and notes. If you are buying paper, buy recycled paper."

[Week9] Review (Ted Lecture)

Who was the speaker? : Richard St. John

What were the speaker’s main points? : Success isn't one-way street, it is a continuous journey.

Would you recommend the lecture to another student? Yes, because we always struggle to achieve a success. It makes them are depressed if they can't achieve their goal. What it worse, they always focus on their goal, not a process. There is no pleasure on their journey. I would like to recommend them this lecture. After they watch this lecture, I hope they learn this principle.
