I want to tell about overweight all over the world. It became the international problem now. The most serious country for obesity is USA. And the most serious problem is children because children can’t control their eating habit, but they continually expose lots of ads about junk food. The children don’t mind that they are overweight and when they are adult, they’re probably still overweight and it has big possibility that their children also might be overweight. What is the cause to overweight? Misusing of medicine causes obesity. People take a birth control pill, a nervine, steroids hormone easily although we shouldn’t take it repeatedly. The other cause is exercise. People don’t like to move and they even use a car when they have to move. Moreover, they use special machine even though they’re not the disabled. They just don’t want to walk. And they don’t think it is serious problem because they’re easygoing and not conscious of necessity about their problem. They don’t recognize that it is a problem and constantly hurt their health. Now, we live in comfort sufficiently and want to keep our easy lives. We can live at easy without thinking about problem that makes us unpleasant like obesity. So who wants to think about overweight?

Do you know the fact that Japanese is keeping the sword, which was used a murder Queen Min? Queen Min had tremendous ambition and a dignified apperance than other women. Even though at that time Chosun was a pretty conservative society and women was lower than men, she had more leadership than King Kojong, so she was also outstanding. For this reason, Japan who wants to make Chosun a their colony planned to kill Queen Min. What I can’t endure is that Japanese is keeping the sword, which was used a murder Queen Min in 1895, at Kusida shrine. What an ironical thing! Here’s a fact, but Japanese government asserts that Chosun people killed Queen Min. The responsible person for Kusida shrine is related to the person who knows a relation of Japanese samurai “Tuo Kazuaki.�? He was a one of the samurais who kill Queen Min, and he reflected on his murder and put the sword in the shrine. Do you know it? I didn’t know it till I read a newspaper. I was ashamed as a Korean.

I’m a senior student, and I’m thinking about which occupation is suited for me. When you are about to decide which occupation to take, you should think about natural potential and aptitudes that you have. I’m sure that there are certain occupations that are suited for one person but not for other person. In addition, there are other factors that we must think when we choose a job. It is important to think whether it has good prospects or not. Let us assume that a certain job has a good prospect. It doesn’t mean only the getting a good salary now and increasingly better salary. It means much more than that. It includes job satisfaction and the possibility for growth in your field. I want to apply for this, not for salary.

I’m taking ‘Understanding English through Prose’ in this semester. It is so hard to understand, and I’m worried about it. Prof O’sullivan always makes all students talk about impression of prose, and it makes me always nervous. Are you worried about class or school like me? When you worry about school, it can affect your body. A person who feels stressed about school probably has headache or stomachache. If you sleep very hard, it might be a sign of stress. Moreover, if you don’t have enough sleep, you feel probably tired during the day. Feeling tired can make your school day even worse. And you don’t want to go to school and skip the classes. It might repeat! Staying home seems like a good choice, but it just makes it harder to go to school next day.

These days, I have a big worry. I think I’m a shopaholic. When I turn on the computer, I usually go to shopping mall such as ‘auction’, ‘g-market’. I can’t control myself. I searched shopaholism because I want to awaken myself if it goes bad, it is serious problem for me.  If someone shops compulsively or very frequently, we can say “they are shopaholics.�? They constantly buy something, and if they can’t go shopping, they suffer from emotional disorders, indigestion, and headaches. They might become dependent on drugs and have experience depression, if their addiction is deteriorates more. When they want to go shopping impulsively, they buy everything though it is unnecessary, and then they don’t know how much they bought. Of course, they don’t need it. They just like the feeling of buying new products. Actually it isn’t a disease if they can afford it. However, if it causes problems like going bankrupt or trouble with their family, it can be a disease. In the worst case, they might steal something that they want or commit murder if they don’t have enough money to shop or if someone stops them from going shopping. For that reason, many doctors regard shopaholism as having the same kind of motivation that alcoholism or drug has.

When I was a 5 year-old girl, I was kidnapped. I can’t remember exactly because I was so young. I usually played hide-and-seek. At that time, I also played with my older sister and friends at playground. When I was hiding some place, a stranger spoke to me. He said, if I followed him, I could get a lot of candy. I decided to follow him because I liked candy. But, I noticed something wrong while I was following him. There were strange streets, so I didn’t know where I was. I was crying when he pulled me to go. I couldn’t think about candy anymore. While he was pulling me, I struggled to escape. However, it didn’t work because his body was too big. While I was getting exhausted of fighting, my father suddenly appeared. My older sister couldn’t find me any place and let my father know about that. When my father was fighting against him, I got free. And then the stranger ran away. If my father hadn’t found out me, I think I would be begging money on the street now.

Acrophobia is an extreme fear of heights. I have a little bit of acrophobia. If I go to high places, I can’t open my eyes. When I visited Canada, I was uncomfortable on the flight. I couldn’t sleep and wake up. I was so nervous. I felt that the flight would crash to the ground. I was even uncomfortable when I rode at an amusement park. While I ascended in a balloon, it was terrible. When I was a little girl, it got worse. My mom forced me to ride a cable car like other kids, I felt unconscious. Unfortunately, there is no exact treatment about acrophobia. If I want to get rid of my acrophobia, I should make an effort. I heard from someone that I should not be afraid of going to high places. If I try to go to high places, about 10 % of my acrophobia will disappear. What I should remember is that I try to look at the lower place about 10 minutes at least when I go to high places.
