Question 1

What do you think is the biggest reason for the increase in the number of divorce in Korea compared to just 20 or 25 years ago? Discuss each of these possible factors. Tell why you think so.

Women power is stronger than past. So they can claim their right to treat well and live comfortably. So if the condition of marriage life does not satisfy tthem, they can easily divorce. They are not afraid to do it. This is the one reason that the divorce rate increase.
Second, people have "love marriage" these days. In the past, people had "arranged marriage". So they didn't get expectancy to their spouse. However, we have lots of expectancy about our spouse and marriage life because we love our spouse. Big expectancy gives you lots of disppointment.
Because of too much disappointment, many people get divorced nowadays.
However notion of the divorce is familiar to people, we have to think it considerably. It is very important to our life anyway.

Question 1

How important is it for Korea to host international sports events? What is to be gained by it? Tell why you think so.

It is very very important for Korea to host international sports event. There are some reasons. First it is very helpful to support Korean economy.
Many foreigners may visit to Korea to watch the game. In this trip, they use a lot of money to eat foods, buy clothes and many souveniers. Second, it is also useful to advertise our nation to the world. As i mentioned at top, many foreigners are interested in this game. So they visit Korea or just watch and hear a lot of time the name "Korea". Unconsciously, Korea will be a familiar country to them. Because of those reasons, many countries eager to hold international sports game. I'm very happy we will hold Olympic games in Pyeongchang!

Question 9

Can you think of any items that you would not want to buy online?

I don't prefer shopping online. However, I usually use internet shopping mall because it is convenient and cheap. After reading this question in today's class, I think deeply which products I cannot buy online. Is it clothes? Is it food? No! It is your pet,especially dogs and cats. The feature of shopping online is that you can't check the condition of the product. You can throw away if you purchase foods,clothes and so on. How about pets? You cannot throw them away. That's because they are living things like you. You have to think many things when you buy them. So it is not appropriate to but them in online shop!

Maroon 5

Last week, when i traveled to East sea, i borrowed my brother's MP3.
His favorite singer is maroon 5. So there were lots of songs of maroon 5. At that time, 'This love' was the only song i knew among their songs. I listened the parade of their songs because i really wanted to know why my brother liked them and i really enjoyed finding good musics.
Wow! It was like an cultural shock! The music was very fresh and different with the other singers. All the songs are good. However, I have been fascinated by three songs. The name of that songs are "Wake up call" " Make me wonder" and "Must get out". The melody of them are very cheerful.
I recommend you to hear these songs.
I have to write about maroon 5. I don't know well about them except of their songs. So i examined who they are. Maroon 5 consists of 5 member, Adam,Jason,Jesse,Micky and Matt. They debuted as a singer in 1997 when i was 6years old. They recieved many awards in many contests. They have many fans all around the world. When they held a concert in Korea in May,2011 ,The concert was full of Korean fans' excitement! I really want to go to their concert if i have a chance.!

To be honest...

I tried not to discriminate when i saw foreigners. However, i feel kind of scary subconciously when i saw black people. Yeah. I know they are not bad. (Some are bad like the other race.) I think media makes people think like this. Through the movie,drama and so on, prince and hero are always white people. On the contrary to this, gangs are always black people. Therefore, we have to change this stereotype first to eliminate the discrimination. The influence of media is very strong than we imagine. So if we change this, people's mind and attitude to foreign people whatever their race are change.

Julia's opinion of reunification

South and North Korea has to achieve peaceful reunification someday.
In the long term,it gives good result to both of the country.
We have on the edge of technology and North Korea has a lot of natural resources. Also, train can be connected from South Korea to Europe. I heard that it will be very useful to decrease the cost of export and import.
Although there are many benefits, I don't want for our country to be reunified in our generation. In the short term, our economy will decrease because the gap of North Korea's is too big. In addition, there will be confused to live. That's because the culture of two country in too different.
That's why i think like that.
