Week 3 : Optional Extra credit 2 - Club, Church

◆ Write about a club or church group you are involved in.
What does the club do? Why did you join?

I attend my church, Sarang every sunday. But I'm not involved in any groups or club. Because It hasn't been long since I changed church. It was hard to change but I had a dream so I changed. Anyway so I couldn't join any clubs or groups. But I do group bible study every week. It is said "GBS". I'm involved in one group. There are about 10 people in one group.

In group, people usually contemplate Bible and talk to each other about it. After services, we gather up to pray. Also we have a private meeting.

I joined "GBS" after I registered to church. But yet this is obligation duty for each person, I really want to join this group and study bible. This because, I think this is not obligation but right for all disciple of Jesus. Also I already know that "GBS" is specialized than other church so I can learn bible easily. Then I registered and joined this church and this group.

Daebangdong, Dongjakgu, Seoul. March 27, 2013

Chongshin Univ. Dorm. Sadangdong, Dongjakgu.

Dear Mijeong

I'm writing to you to say my thanks for our memories we have had. Since I entered Chongshin University, I have met a lot of friends and have had many good remembrances. Also we spent time together on a recent.

As you know, I'm quite introvert so it's hard to meet someone at first. But you are very kindness so I feel there is no distant. Also you are quite good listener and I have learned it from you. Because listening is difficult and I'm not good at listening. I just talk to others. I often think that I should listen to other's story and you make me remind everyday.

I also want to share a good memory. Do you remeber that we went to Soongsil University? It was my first time that I spent time with my university mates. When we walked from Soongsil to Chongshin, we talked about a lot of things. Even though It was very short, This memory was impressive to me.

I think it's because we get so busy in our lives, we cannot spend a lot of time together. Nevertheless I really like you as your friend. While nowadays, I'm so glad you live in dormitory. You look so relaxed and happy.

I hope we will be more closeknit. Give my appreciation and thanks.

Best wishes, Hyewon.

Week 2 : Assignment 2 ( Reading )

◆ Reading : Read about an inspirational person. Fill in the following information.

- Web address : http://enews24.interest.me/news/article.asp?nsID=129414

- Name of the person : Mi-kyeong KIM

- Author’s name : News24

- Why is the person inspirational?

Nowadays, Mi-kyeong KIM is one of the famous woman. She appeared on television a few times, her face has become quite well-known. She is a company representative and she also is a doctor of EWHA woman's university. However, she said she is just a woman and a mother for my children.

She is my inspirational nowdays because of her surroundings. She was very poverty. She lived in rural area and had no dreams in childhood. But after she went up to Seoul with no definite goal, she started to find her dreams, and now she became a one of the influential woman to many people. She makes people to think deeply. When she says something, there is a complete change in the mindset.

Why is Mi-kyeong inspirational for me? Another reason is that she is a Christian. She doesn't tell about Jesus on TV Show but people know she is christian. She is a woman who exercised considrable influence over people. So lots of people start to have a curiosity about our God.

Lastly, she serves for poor around us. So she organizes a group that donates to poor. [http://happybean.naver.com/happyenergy/HappyEnergyFamousView.nhn?artclNo=123461794775]

To sum up, people like her regardless of age including me. I know that a great man is always nearby us.

" Fight myself who was on yesterday not others."

" We have to compare by ourselves everyday."

Week 2 : Optional extra credit 1 - Something that I did this week.

On March 14, I went to an amusement park with my boyfriend. My friend, Joy and her boyfriend joined us and we had dates together. Usually, we couldn't go amusement park. The admission price was so high for students like us! The admission price was 25000won to 30000won. However, God is always on our side. We had tickets that make us enter into the amusement park. We had to pay just 10000won! 10000won! That day, it was very freezing but we were very excited! So we held hand each other and went to the amusement park, Lotteworld!

Lotteworld is divided into two sections. One is the outside, the other is the inside. Anyway, we went outside first! Fortunately, there were a few people because of the cold weather. We were very excited and went on the rides that usually couldn't ride on account of lots of people. Even though my hair was waving in the wind and my boyfriend shuddered, we went on lots of rides.

However, we couldn't stand in cold. So we got indoors. The merry-go-round was in there. This is very famous because famous actors were filmed at here before. So we took pictures near by this.

Over time, All of us were getting tired. So we ate hamburgers and Churros! It was very delicious. Also we talked to each other for a long time. Yes. We had a good time.

It was the first time that I went to an amusement park with my boyfriend. It was also the first time that I went there with my friend's couple. At first, it was a little bit awkward. But it was a great time! It was a nice day for me!

Week 2 : In-class Activity

[ March 14 ] Today's goals
1. Essay writing practice
2. Write a formal business letter
3. Recognize formal and informal expressions
4. Organize a letter into paragraphs

Warm-up
* Have you ever travelled aborad as part of a group?
   I went to Indonesia in this winter with my family.
* Group travel
   Advantages : save money / take pictures of each other / not lonely / not boring
                         get information / safer / don't have to plan
   Disadvantages : arguments / sacrifice your priorities / no personal times / no freedom
                              bad egg / too much planning / wait for people / count everyone

1. Essay writing practice
Q. The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide?

The best way to travel I prefer is not in a groupd led by a tour guide but in a group themselves. Traveling with a tour guide has few advantages while it has many disadvantages.

Of course, taking a trip led by guide is easy to travel. Because the guide makes a plan durig a whole travel, so travelers don't have to do that. However, this can be the weakness. No wonder travelers don't know the schedule. They can be unconcerned with that. Also, traveling with the guide has formal visit. Then, travelers can't feel any culture or view of there.

Meanwhile, traveling just in a group themselves has a lot of advantages.
First, travelers can plan to travel by ourselves. This makes feel them excited. Also they can feel like a leader of one project.
Second, travelers can get a memory which would not easily be forgotten. Because travelers can register for a long time and they can take a lot of pictures each other. This can be the most strength of traveling with the group. Because this help people to avoid feeling lonely that can be exist in traveling alone.
Finally, travelers can save the money without a guide rather than the other case, traveling with the guide. Because travelers have to give some tips to guide.

To sum up, I think the best way to travel I prefer is in a group just by themselves.

2. Write a formal business letter
This July I will travel to Venice and I am looking for suitable accommodations. I saw your advertisement on the newspaper. So I send an email to get an information of your apartment. We will register for four nights.

I will ask some questions as following : Is there air conditioner? Is it possible to use Internet? How much is booking apartment? and Could you give me precise details about prices?

It would be very helpful if you could inform me of any other things.
I look forwarrd to hearing from you.

3. Recognize formal and informal expressions.
