Blog 5- Students study English abroad.

Students study English abroad.

  Recently the importance of English in the global society has increased, so many Korean students go abroad to learn English. Even though it is huge financial coast, they choose to study in English countries, because it is a better way for them to learn English. Some people think that it is waste of money, because there are a lot of English schools in Korea, so students can study English with family’s care. In addition, it may happen that students can be easily exposed to the danger such as drugs and alcohol. However, it is quite negative view, and students can control themselves. If you also look on the bright side, you can realise that it is good chance for students. I am going to write about why students should study English in the foreign countries. There are three reasons why this is good idea. The first and most important reason is students can easily and fluently learn English abroad, because they can use it every day in an English-speaking environment. Moreover, it is better for their personal development. While they are studying abroad, they often have a chance to manage their own financial costs and housework without their family’s support. Another reason is that students can learn about new cultures through their overseas friends and teachers. They are able to learn how to understand other cultures and also how to socialise with foreigners. Consequently, it is evident that learning English abroad is better choice for students.

Blog 3- Visiting Rotorua and Tapou in New Zealand

When I stayed in New Zealand, I and my friend who is Chinese girl visited Rotorua and Tapou are famous for natural parks, mud pool, and hot springs. In addition, there are many activities, especially Bunge jump is the most popular one. I had the plan to try it, was quite courageous challenge to me.

Throughout the trip, the season was winter there,
so most of days were very cold and rainy.

I always put on warm clothes.

First day, we went to Waio Tapu, we looked around the mud pool and volcanic valleys. There were interesting names, for example Devil’s Home and Devil’s ink Pots were the funniest. And they were steaming and had pretty colors. We took photos a lot.

At that time, we met Japanese girl, who was travelling alone for 1 year.
She got brown hair and slim. She was wearing mountain clothes with big backpack,
so her look was like an explorer.

After visiting Waio Tapu, I and my friend went back to our accommodation was Back Packers.  

And Then we visit to hot springs to try spa, it was quite nice.
In the one room, only I and my friend use there for 30 minutes.
We were relaxed and relieved our stress.

Next day, we accidently met the Japanese girl at the place for Bunge jump which was located on the middle of the Waikato River.
We could see the full view of the landscape on the extremely high top of the river.
I liked to admire the scenery and draw fresh air.

And it was really chilly and windy, so just few people were there. At that time, some young Kiwis who were preparing Bunge jump.
As soon as finished the countdown ‘3.2.1 Bunge!’ …they jumped!

I thought I cannot it alone, when I watched them and saw the bottom, so I and the Japanese girl decided to try it together.
When I and she were on the top, I was particularly frightened. I can make sure that nobody can try it easily at the first time.
Anyway we failed the first jumping, after the second countdown, we bunged! I felt that I was going to die really. There was only I can do is screaming.

So far it was still unforgettable memory to me, and I hope one day I go there again with my family.

Blog 4- 'The car accident'

I never forget the memory is really frightening to me.

The story is about the car accident in the New Zealand.

I clearly remember it. The time was nearly 9 p.m.

I was napping at home, unexpectedly my friend phoned to me to ask going to the party in the school.

I decided to go out with him, and then we were on way to go there.

When we were crossing the road(cross walk), suddenly the black car sped toward me.

The car hit on my left in an instant, and immediately my face was landed on the road first.

My face and legs were bruising and swelling, especially my nose was spilling much blood for over than 1 hours.

It was terrible. I had to overcome the frightening time alone in the foreign country.

Since then, I used to be afraid of vehicle things. If they pass by me very closely, I get goose bumps.

The car accident has gave me horrible memory.
