Blog 9- summary & Response/ Citation


“South Korean’s marine troops mistakenly shoot at passenger air plan.”


  Soldiers on Gyo-dong Island, fired their k-2 rifles at the air plan for about 10 minutes. At that time the passenger jet toward Incheon International Airport. In the plan 119 passengers and flight crew members from China. According to the military source, when they discover the plan, it was not usual approaching. The situation seems to a flight from the North Korea air force, so they shot at it. However, an officer of the air line company said that we are sure that our plans have never flown off the course. Fortunately, nobody has injured from the fire. After the accident, ‘the marine troops will have educating about how to identify passenger jet and air force.’ a ministry officer said.


It was really terrible mistaking accident and  the military have to embarrass themselves. On the other hand, the accident shows the quick military response to the North Korean attack. Do you remember the bombardment of Yeonpyeong was an artillery engagement between the North Korean military and South Korean in last year? At that time, 4 people were dead in the South Korea and 70 percent of the island's forests and fields were burn by the bombardment. According to media, one of the military faults that the military troops were shelled 16 minute later, they attack the North Korean military. The response was really delayed. After the accident, the military response is getting fast. It have to become more quick and exactly.

Blog 8- Mr Pizza VS Domino's Pizza

    



There are two popular pizza chain shops that have made various and tasty pizzas. Mr Pizza and Domino’s Pizza both have been famous and new trend of Western food in Korea. Other pizza restaurants have fallowed their pizza recipes. And they have my favourite pizzas are ‘Shrimp Gold’ and ‘Shrimps’.





Even they have some similarities; Mr Pizza and Domino’s Pizza also have some differences. In Mr Pizza, there are good places to eat pizzas and have chat with friends and family, because of having comfortable sofas, tables and modern interiors. Moreover, there are famous menu for women is ‘Salad Bar’. On the other hand, Domino’s pizza shops offer only delivery service which is fast and kind. However, that is a reason why Domino’s Pizza cannot popular than Mr Pizza in Korea. 


Both of Pizza shops I love, but if I have to choose and order one shop, I will take domino’s Pizza. There are some reasons. First is the price, most of pizzas of Domino’s are cheaper than Mr Pizza, even though they are similar recipe. And I generally like to eat a pizza with some people at home which is a comfy and quiet place.

Boge 7- Seoul and Auckland



  In 2008, I live the biggest city in New Zealand. It is Auckland that I was in for a year to learn English. It was unforgettable memory to me until now. However, in recent I move my home alone to Seoul which is nearby school. It is good to go famous places in Seoul. Both of places are the most famous and largest cities in each country, but there are quite different things between Seoul and Auckland that I experienced.
 
  In Seoul, there are four seasons which make beautiful scenery of nature, but in summer it is extremely hot and humid mixed with rain. It makes people unhappy and stressful. And in winter, it is freezing with snow. On the other hand, weather is very changeable in Auckland. For example, sometimes in the morning it is strongly rainy, but during a day is sunny with rainbow. After sunset, it is cold. Therefore people say that one day has four seasons in New Zealand. I used to bring outer because of the changeable weather. 



  Moreover, two cities have different scenery. Seoul, it is one of the highest population cities in the world, so there are great deals of people, cars and high scraper buildings. It is pretty modern city which is developed fast. When I live in Seoul, everything is really convenient. In contrast, Auckland is low population city and there are few high buildings in the downtown. Instead of, there are fresh air, giant trees and wide green field with volcano. It is typical landscape which I felt I was in an Alice in Wonderland. That is why Peter Jackson made the film ‘Load of the ring’ in New Zealand.

  In life style, people work hard for over than 8 hours a day for job in Seoul. Therefore, they are very stressful and drink too much alcohol at the night. Many people do not have their hobbies and go to the cinema or go shopping to spend weekends. I think working too many hours may make them fast to do other things. On the other hand, Kiwis (who live in NZ) work for about 6 hours a day, so they have plenty of time to do what they want. When I live there I was surprised, because many Kiwis have another job such as artiest and can play a musical instrument.

  So far, I never forget the memory of living in New Zealand and I am also satisfied with life in Seoul. Both of cities are attractive to me, Seoul is beautiful and modern city which is convenient to live. And in Auckland, there are unique view and peaceful life style which people love to there.

Blog 6- Students study English abroad (opposite)


It has commons for Korean students that go overseas to learn English. Even though it is huge financial coast, every year, more than 27 thousand of Korean students go to foreign country to study. However, there are serious social problems which have already well known through the media. First, it can make family troubles, especially relationship between fathers who are called ‘Goose Father’ and other family members. Goose Fathers stay alone in Korea to work hard to send money to their family who study in foreign country. Goose Father may become easily lonely because they spent for a long time without their family’. Do you think it is good education for their children without their father’s care? Moreover studying abroad is huge financial coast, so it can be pressure to their family. It is not just family’s financial problems. There is bed financial impact on Korean economy, because if many families send their children to study abroad, a great deal of money leaves Korea to support foreign countries.
Even though it can make these problems, some people think studying English in the foreign countries is better chance for students, because students can use English everyday in an English-speaking environment.  It may the most important reason why they choose English countries. However, in Korea, there are also lots of high quality English schools and English-speaking environment such as English cafe and camp things. They can help students to develop their English fluently. In conclusion, it may clear that student should study English in their own country. If you are confident and hard working, you can learn English anywhere including your home country.
