Flowers make us happy~~

Flowers make us happy that we just see it. If we take a flower, we will feel better. Flowers simply see, and besides, they can be used in various ways. The human beings have used the flower for food early. The flower was thought of the healthy food for a health maintenance by taking the medicinal effeact ingredient which is included to it with a meal. The flower food type is various and it makes a good appearance with beautiful color and unique smell. It is the common actual state to eat flowers of definite type in not only Korea but many other countries. It bring out in different aspect with in natural view of each country or tradition, climate, natural features and the time background. The spread is cultivated and becomes fixed from the culture inside of each and it is developed with one food culture.

The flower has abundance of nutritive elements and excellent about medicinal effects. Lavender excel in sedation and antiphlogistic effect and can help a good night’s sleep. Smell of Freesia take effect to get rid of sleeplessness. 


Exercising for life.

 Exercising is the most important element for life, in that it gives people good health, helps them to improve a sense of sociality, and makes them ged rid of some stress. First of all, one of the big adavantages to exercise is that people can enhance their health. Scientific reserch shows that  both mental and physical health will be better and rehabilitated, concentrating on exercising. To illustrate, working out has an enormous effect on obese people who want to lose some weight because it can get rid of some fat.

 Moreover, sports is the most significant element for adjusting to a modern society. Generally, getting  along with numerous friends and collegues around you is required to adapt to the society. In other words, if you participate in a sports team for friendship, it will be a good choice. It provides you with a sense of cooperation, leadership, or confidence which is needed for life.

 Lastly, if you work out regularly, you can relieve some stress which is stored in your mind and body. In general, most workers and students are exhausted due to their heavy workloads. Also, they lie on the intensively competitive society. It gives them  a lot of stress. In hence, if you focus on execrcising regularly, it will play a major role in reducing some stress.


The reason that the Korean comedy films are popular

Many Korean comedy films force the audiance a smile. The kind of scenes that forcing smiles is plenty of and the smile doesn’t mean anything and they may feel emptyness.
The films needs more dramatic items and Still the story has a problem, which leads smile by force.
However, the Korean comedy films are considerably developed unlike previous gang movie. The items for movies are very various such as studnets, teachers, president and so on. Many people say that the dreamatic points and complete sotry make good movies compared to hollywood. Moreover, It’s the Korean films that get compliment for art and lots of audience at the present. Lately the Korean films occupy the theaters more than 50% of those.
The most popular genre is comedy. Why is the comedy popular?So many comedy films are released continuously and people keeps going to see the comedy films. I could say the present our society’s problem make that phonemenon. Those who face with economic hardship and lose their smiles in this hard times want to escape from this and they forget it during watching the comedy movie. It’s not only just movies. Thw whole Korean comedy’s main theme is related to sardonic and critical things.That’s why all kind of cultural things make efforts to convey smiles and vigor.I dare to say that reveals a cross section of modern society.


TV has many negative things.

Television is a good source of information. But it is only one source. Some plople have to watch TV every night before hey sleep. They are called by addictive the TV. It is also creating a lot of violence in our society and our children are learning the false notion that violence is ok. Therefore, we need to limit what we see, especially what our children see.


Urge for change in Alcohol culture

In Korea, there developed a culture of Alcohol.Members offer and exchange glasses of alcohol, for many, many years. Therefore, it has become a virtue to offer a Alcohol to one another.

However, this old culture make no sense and is outdated. Moreover, the current culture of Alcohol in univesities originated from the culture of adults. It is no longer considered appropriate. It would be senseless not to change the culture of Alcohol, even though every and each member knows that it has no place to stand in modern society. Such a crooked culture should not be regarded as a whole culture of univresity any more.

It is desirable for all mambers that one drinks as much as he or she can. So  we create an environment in which he or she enjoys drinking. It is entirely up to the members of society whether this settles down or not as a new culture for better.


Run away from screens!

We spend a lot of time watching screens. How much time do you spend by watching TV or surfying internet? I don’t mean to say that you should quit doing these things right now. But recent poll shows that the youth in Korea generally spend about 3hours to watch TV. If the time of surfying internet is plused, I think it could be doubled.

  Of course I admit there are many good points of it. What a interesting! You couldn’t find more interesting things than watching TV, surfying internet or playing on-line game. And also we can enjoy many touching and funny movies through TV. You can remove stress of modern city life by doing these. Especially when you have dull time, they can be your best friends.

 Nevertheless these various good points, however, there are some things we should worry about. Don’t you think you spend too much time on it? What’s the main work you do in your home? You habitually turn on the TV and computer, and just devote yourself to do these aimlessly, meaninglessly.

 You would have worse eyesight than before you started devoting yourself to do these. I’m sure it’s getting worse and worse. With your poor eyesight, I guess your health is getting worse too, because of lack of exercise. You may lose pleanty of time to talk with your family or close friends.

 How about reducing the time a little you spend in fron of screens? you will have much of time to do other things. You can enjoy playing sport with your friends, and even join local soccer or baseball team. The more time you spend with your ‘real live friends’, the more you would be coopertative with others and be intimate with new people. Moreover, you can read many benefical books you wanted to read before but you couldn’t because you didn’t have enough time. 

 Don’t be slave of screens. Just make good use of it ,when you need. It depends on you weather they can be your good friends.


People of blood type A say “Sorry” a lot.

 Do you often say “Sorry” a lot? Do you care too much about what people think about you? If your answer is “Yes”, ninety-nine percent surely you are blood type A. People of Blood type A are generally too careful and cautious about everything. They care too much about what people think about them. Moreover, if there is bad things happened, they would think it’s all because of their fault. What makes them act like that? What are the reasons? There are two kinds of reasons.

One reason is they are caring and very sensitive to other people’s feeling, so they are usually worried that they might hurt other people’s feeling. On the other side, the other reason is they are often lack of self-confidence, so they are not confident enough about what they’re doing and saying.

 


Classtime tonight

Hi everyone. Well, I think we have no problems about students approving the time-change for this class — there’s one student left on my list but I figured out who it is and why she’s not in class.

However, the office will need to find a new classroom for us, and unfortunately I took too long to post here, so it’s too late to announce a big change now. So therefore, tonight we will meet at out regular classtime. I hope nobody is too disappointed!
However, I believe that tonight I will be able to tell you good news about next week’s classtime and location. Isn’t that great? More tonight. See you at 8:45pm tonight!


there are some reasons why many Korea University students drink alcohol so much

  “Cheers~” “botton up” You can hear those words in everywhere and everywhen. Like many Korea university studendts drink alcohol too much because they want to forgot their depression things. Second reason is their friends’s pressure. Last is just Korea students like drink alcohol and party.
