TEACHER.

Being a ‘teacher’ is quite popular as one of our dreams. I also have dreamed of being a teacher when I was younger. However, every teacher demonstrates that it is not easy to teach and have the students acquire knowledge because the students have completely different characters, precious knowledge, or ability. Every time I am taught by the teacher, I feel the impenetrable difficulties to teach students who are different in everything. By liking the teacher, students can become good at the subject and by respecting the teacher, students work hard to study all the more. Especailly the teacher who teaches from preschool to high school plays a very important role in a students’ life because the formation of character actively takes place at that time. I have expertienced being disappointed a teacher, praised by them, encouraged them, and scolded by them. It may be more important role than our parents’.

If you are betrayed…..

One day you broke a coffee cup by accident which you loved. It was pretty expensive. Also you liked the design and colour but you bought just one. But you broke it. What will you do? 1.  buy excastly the same one again.       2.  buy a similar one which is less  expensive.       3.  buy a totally different one which is the same price.      4.  buy a totally dofferent one which is less expensive.         5. use a cup which you have had  instead of buying a new one. Choose the one you like the most. Did you? 1. the person who chose number one is………            You can not give up easily. You think him/her inconstancy would be impulsive. So you expect he/she will come back to you and you wait with anxiety. 2. The person who chose number two is………….       You think buying a new expensive cup is stupid. This kind of person will look for a new person who can help you to forget the solitude created from the farewell. 3. The person who chose number three is……….        Even though you meet a farewell, you think you can fix everything yourself and give up him/her. Besides you don’t want to lower your standard to choose your boy/girl friend. You have high self-confidence. 4. The person who chose number four is…………..        You make the decision quite quickly. You’ll forget him/her easily and look for another person. 5. The person who chose number five is…………..          You think you meet a farewell because of yourself. You blame yourself and feel despair. It will take a pretty long time for you to love somebody again.

Wonders of Colour

What is colour? How many colours do you know? In general, we are surrounded with colour involuntarily. However, colour doesn’t have shape essentially, does it? To see colour, it needs light, the substances which reflects light, and sight. Of course, you can not see any colour in black. So it can say that colour plays a vitally important role in the world. It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. The colour which you see is sent to te brain by the electric signal. After that you recognize the knowledge of colour or the name of it. As a powerful form of communication colour is irreplaceable. Red means ‘stop’ and green means ‘go’. Traffic lights send this universal message. In the field of colour therapy, it is said that people maintain the proportion of mind and body through what they wear and the colour which colour corresponds to their own emotion. If you have regular colour on your chest these days, your mind and body will grow to want it. Although we casually wera and decorate ‘the colour’, it really contains great energy. It makes us excited, calm, happy, powerful, hungry, etc. It is not too much to say that colour is connected in human’s mind.

Yam Cha

A few years ago, I had a chinese friend who studied Korean. When she went back to her country, we had a fairwell party. So, we went to a chinese traditional seafood restaurant. We call the food “Yam Cha”. Have you ever eaten this food? It was very delicious. When we went to the restaurant, there were so many people who were waiting their turn. My friend told me this restaurant was most famous in this city.  There were so many kinds of dishes and when the waiter of restaurant carried many dishes, we could choose everthing what we want to eat. All food was made of seafood and vegetable, so efter we had lunch, it was very easy to digest. After I ate this, I couldn’t help thinking about this., ^^; especially, shrimp Dimsum. At that time, there were not so many this kind of restaurant. However these days I can find very often. I know one which is located in Gangnam. So, if you want to try this kind of food, ask me and I’ll let you know. Just one thing that you should have to do before going there is to make a reservation!

movie maniac

I am a movie addict, so I went to the movies four or five times a week before. But these days I haven’t had enought time to go to the movies and even if I went to a movie, there were nothing that I wanted to watch. There are many kinds of movies, such as action, thriller, horror and comedy. But I love watching romantic comedy the best of all kinds of movies. Have you ever seen ‘Notthing Hill’? It is my favorite movie. Julia Robert starred in this movie as a famous American actress. When I went to the English institute, my teacher said to me that Notthing Hill is a very good movie to learn both American Engilsh and British English. Then, I also like the O.S.T of this movie, ‘She’. When I hear this song, it always reminds me of the last scene of this movie. If you haven’t seen this movie, I really recommend this movie to you. I also know a lot about romantic movies, so if you want to watch any romantic movies , ask me anytime. I’ll make a list to you ^^;

Using body language.

Imagine that you are in a foreign country. You don’t know what they say, you don’t understand their language. At this time what will you do? Maybe you will try to use your body as much as you can. Using your body, which is called body language, could be a good method of communication, even though you can’t speak at all. However, you should be careful using body language because it has a different meaning in some countries. Therefore, let’s have a look at some body labguage which has several different meanings, especially using hands. * Make a circle to use the thumb and the second finger – In Korea, it usually means “Money”. Sometimes it is positive but usually it is negative. In the South of France, it means ” Worthlessness”, but as you know, in the U.S.A and the West of Europe countries it means “Okay” * rise up the thumb with clenching the fist – It has many different meaning and that’s a little bit weird for me bacause in Korea, it shows ” Very Good!”. However in Greece, it means ” Shut up!”. How can they make this strange body language? Also in Russia, it is a sign of ” Homosexual” There is no doubt that body language is a very useful skill to communicate with. Nevertheless it’s not always the same in meaning so, you can make a mistake or the situation could get worse. For that reason, to correctly communicate, we should learn about other cultures. After that we can better communicate with foreigners. We have to a good opportunity to know that as well.

Excercise

Nowadays the weather is getting warmer so, we wear thin and short clothes. Therefore our bodies will be more exposed so, most women care about their bodies. I think it’s time for us to lose weight. I’ll introduce the way to lose weight in the arms especially. 1. Stand with your arms straight and then spin your arms like drawing a circle. Spin twenty times clockwise and anticlockwise each. 2. Hold dumbbells in each hand and then bend your body so that your upper body and legs will be at right angle. Let your elbows stick at your flank and then raise them above your shoulder. Next, stretch your elbows to the back. Do 15 times at one time. And repeat that 3 times. While you stretch, you have to breathe in. 3. Hold the dumbells in each hand while sitting down, set up your elbows to be angled and bend your elbow inside. Raise your elbows to the shoulder, let your arms rise up vertically. Keep your elbows’ location and move your arms to the front. Repeat it over 30 times. 4. Raise your right elbow when you’re sitting down and make your fingers reach to the spine.

Say It with Flowers.

Have you ever received flowers from someone? Have you ever given flowers to someone? How did you feel? After finishing my class today, while going home I saw one lovely couple. The woman was happily smiling with a bunch of flowers in her hand. It was so beautiful.  From times of old, sending flowers is the best way to express ones mind. Giving flowers sends a message more meaningful than written letter, I think. Flowers are given for all occasions and for many reasons. Basically they convey thoughtfulness and love or express feeling which words are unable to. Each flowers has its own special meaning such as love, beauty, truth and innocence……  It is not only kinds of flowers that have their own meaning but so do the number of roses given. So, you should consider this when you give flowers to your lover, family members or friends. I think the special memory with a flower or the special person who gives it to you is the most important thing of all.

Emotional Health.

There are many people in each country, as you know: DIFFERENT MEN DIFFERENT MIND. Many things that happen in our life can distrupt our emotional health and lead to strong feelings of sadness, stress or anxiety. These things include: having problems in your school life or jobs, getting divorced or married, suffering an illness or an injury, etc. These seem to be a normal part of our life. The emotions have a great effect on your life, no less. Your body responds to the way you think, feel and act. When you are stressed, anxious or upset, your body tries to tell you that something is not good. For example, high blood pressure, a change appetite or stomachache might develop after a particularly stressful event such as the death of a loved one. If you have problems in your personal life that are causing emotional distress, you should consult a doctor. Remember that he or she can’t always tell you that you are felling stressed just by looking at you. Otherwise, you should take care of yourself. It is important to your body to have a regular routine by eating healthy meals, getting enough sleep and exercising. Avoid overeating and don’t abuse drugs or alcohol. Using drugs or alcohol just cause other problems such as family and health problems. Poor emotional health can weaken your body’s immune system.
