Week XIII- Homework-The difficulty of learning

    I, returning to school after taking time off, have registered as little credit as possible to do my best in every classes(subjects). The two subjects, circuit analysis and writing essay, among them gave me a great deal of trouble throughout the semester, moreover still so far too.

    Even though circuit-analysis is important major subject and I studied hard , whenever I took the exam, Quiz, I almost got a falling mark. It was very  disappointed, but I'm still preparing for final exam for getting good grade.

    Writing essay  was also a sort of challenge that I should overcome for improving English composition in the beginning. Homework per week seemed drive me to dead end. As if a news reporter tried to adjust the deadline, I also had adherence to Friday writing. But, as time passed, my writing got better than before, so I began to recognize Mr.Greg's teaching, nevertheless, I still have burden to learn for English writing.

    Two classes threw ordeal, it was not trap but schanze(a prop for a jump), to me and I fell on hard times, but through it I could be step forward, at the same time, I firmly believe that two teacher helped me be a man of ability. Thank for teaching.

Stop AROUND TRAVEL/JUST DROPPING IN TRAVEL

    A long time ago, A travel that gives unforgettable experience me was preparing.
We, my five friends and me, named challenge, and called our journey as TWCT abbreviated by the whole country tour because we're still young and it was impossible mission to others.
   
    Our goal was to visit a hot spring, Back-Am, located in border between Gyeongsang and  Gangwon province and stayed one-night among two-night, and the other night  in the car since we didn't have much money. A friend that only had driver's license among ours took father's car, the rest of ours got the money, travel expenses, eighty-thousand won, seemed to be sufficient. At last we started to travel our destination.

    Although time goes by 6 hours, we were still in the road where we were not, we are all  too tired and looked for parking place to stop the car for sleeping, but could not free parking log anywhere, and we parked place where no one were and slept without washing face.

    According to our schedule for trip,  we should reach the point half of total distance, but it  was left more than half to the destination. Although the fact made our disappointed, we all were very hungry and ate breakfast that cost for four-thousand won per person, and then gassed up our car and give twenty-thousand won for charge. Afterwards, when we knew that we just forty-thousand won,  one of ours talked to us we we had to give up our trip, or we could not return to home, nevertheless, our leader, calling himself  because he is older than 1 year, persuaded with us talking that if we gave up now we could not have chance to travel together, and so our trip could continue toward our paradise, but I did't know we wanted to go to the springs, Back-Am, so far.

    Anyway, although the lack of English skill prevented me from writing more funny thing for reader, we could reach at Back-Am spring tomorrow night late. For getting a room at a hotel within springs area, we went in the hotel and asked a room hotel staff for one-night, but we have to come out outside the hotel, since room rates was too high, hundred-thousand won, for one-night stay, even though off-season. We're surprised and shocked.

    We were obliged to look for other place for one-night and lodged at a house near back-am -springs area.
The house host, a private residence, ask for thirty-thousand won for one-night. Next morning we see the Back- Am springs from a distance, imaging us in the springs, we should return to the hometown. As soon as we arrived at home, we're harassed by our parents forgetting that they worried out when we disappeared.

    After 2 weeks, We had a secret meeting without parent's permission and is fully determined to travel again if we were adults. But it is not keeping our promise.

Week XI- Homework(Free Topic)

    Recently, there are two important issues, FTA and high tuition, in Korea. These influence many korean and seem to change common life either toward good or bad.

    This agreement, FTA abbreviated by Free Trade Agreement, especially between the Korea and the USA,  causes most people to fall into confusion. Someone for FTA argue that FTA leads Korea toward powerful country, while someone else against FTA prevents treaty from ratifying in National Assembly desperately talking that we are completely ruined. If you are korean, you should know the truth about FTA, but we still are hard to do vote for or against because of lack of knowledge and time. What we should not forget is the fact that our decision make descendant happy or unhappy.

    Some countries, known by welfare state in Europe, don't receive any tuition or school fees at all, or they request students a little quantity of money quoting education professionals,if someone could do something without cost, someone have tendency not to do something hard. What a friendly  thinking is to us. We've already known our rights to be capable to educate something that we want to learn is written in National Constituion, but in reality we are living having to paying goods that we want to obtained, even precious thing such as human's dignity.

    As you already whether know or not, in anyway, other country's some politicians believe that all things is all goods, that is, so we could be part of goods although they do not argue in the presence of national people frankly. Such politicians argue that if we want to raise our competitiveness, I still don't know why all we should compete for good things that might believe or not, we have to apply market place to all things. That is very dangerous way of thinking, as I think, nevertheless, such principles of  market specialist is wide spread into all country.  As a result, we accept that we have to pay for much quantity of money to th school without any doubt.

What do you thinking about that?

Week X- Homework

    I would prefer to live in the city. I was born in Busan, maybe the second biggest city in Korea, while  My father have lived for a long time in the country, his birthplace called as HamYang town , but he needed to get job to make money for family, and finally moved into the Busan. Some time ago my father brought me there,namely HamYang, since he wanted to show me place in where he was born, in addition I can visit father's elementary school. At that day, I didn't knew reason at all, but  I feel so comfortable. There were family less than one-hundred, They all were so kind people like never to touch dirty things,  and when I went around there, I could breathe the more fresh air than ever before. Also, as I  thought now, if there is Heaven in the earth, it seem to exist just paradise here, so I sincerely wanted to live there though for a moment. But I never find out what I could do there and what I wanted to do there, especially there, though I could live there for long time, like father, when I will grow into a man and get job that I want to do, I might go out there unavoidably. Such making decision is very terrible, so I couldn't not choose easily to live in the country.

Week IX- Homework

    Recently, I become so depressed, though I already know why it is. Before I go back to school, I'm making computer software applying to new technology such as collective intelligence and ICHING. When everyone is capable of getting information that want to know, I think our society gets better than now. After I return to school, dedicated-time at classes is increasing to great extent, that is making me give up making computer-software, so I can not think about software anymore. I admit  it is more important for me to learn given subjects, nevertheless, I feel so sad and miserable in fact that I have to delay or give up making software, though it is not so long.

Week VII- Homework

    Whenever a midterm examination comes back, a particular exam,when I was in high school, comes to me. At those days, I was used to go to private  study-room with friends around home as usual. At first, I thought that I could finish studying for preparing the midterm-exam, but I dragged through the preparing for test next morning. Yes. I finished it by studying the whole night. I was very tired, so I wanted to sleep for a little while at home. As soon as I arrived at home, I asked mother for  waking me up 2 hours later without giving her reasons. As time went on, my mother woke me up passing over telephone. Someone's voice seemed to came through something to ears from far away. That was the voice of my teacher. He told me that why I didn't come to school for taking exam. I was shocked in, and I went to school right now by taxi. As soon as I got to school and opened the door, some students laugh loudly and the others seemed to try to suppress a laugh. There was an twenty minutes before the test ended. I had to take an exam like mad. At lat time went. I realized by that time that why my friends laughed at me. During studying, I always wore towel with head for concentrating my mind and a gym suit for sleeping when I wanted to sleep. Before I went to school, I didn't think that far. I regretted, but it was too late to be fixed up the situation. Even though that was my trauma, All students and teacher seemed to be so happy because of me. So I also smiled with tears.

Week VI- Homework - I feel so better while I think of the Australia

    The Australia makes me feel wonderful and comfortable. The Australia's continent is located in the south part of the Asia, but particularly they have western culture. Until now many foreign people have visited in Australia because of beautiful nature and good weather. In my writing, I want to introduce about kind people and good weather.

    In 2007, I visited in the Australia as tourist, and  I stayed in there for 2 months. I wanted to contact with people,especially native people, that has the different way of thinking and different life style. So, I thought that I had to stay in home-stay to know them in details. While I stayed in there, I know that they always smiled to everyone as well as me, and they always do themselves best to help other people, especially the weak such as the disabled, old person and woman and so on.

    There were four person, Japanese wife named Itoka and Australian husband named graham and child named Charles and me, at home-stay house where I stayed. While I stayed with them, Mrs Itoa cooked japanese style food once a week for me, I was very very delighted and thanked for her.Sometimes I used to drink beer with Mr Graham and talk about his business mainly. He was working as manager in Car Repair company. Even though I am very poor at speaking in English, he never avoided to talk with me. By chance, I  became to know that Mr Graham always wore same style clothes whenever he came to the office. Someday, I asked him that why you wore same style clothes, short-sleeves and shorts, on working. He talked to me that our city, especially in Cairns, has always warm and steady weather, so we didn't need to have clothes of other style. I suddenly laughed at listening to him and he also smiled. I realized that this area, Cairns city, is always warm not to be hot and cold regardless winter and summer. It' really good to live for human here.
   
    When I departed from the Australia, I didn't want to leave there. But  I had to return to my home-country for some reasons. As I thought about Australia, First there were very kind people to try to help other people. Second there were good weather for people to live or work. In addition,  there were wonderful and beautiful scenes such like mountains and sky. I often dream of being Australia, so I feel so better and comfortable. Do you want to travel to the Australia someday?
