Fairytale: Love With Foods

Love With Foods.

(Writers: Sin Su-Jin, So Eui-Jeong)

Once upon a time, when a tiger smoked (this is Korean expression), there was a very beautiful princess in Korea, which had a lot of delicious foods. As she was the princess of the country, she could eat every food if she wanted. Example, kimchi, which had high nutrition for health, bacon, Galbi (beef), Bulgogi (beef), Ducbockgi (spicy Korean rice cake) and Bibimbab (rice and vegetables), etc.

Meanwhile, there was a really charming prince in North America. He ruled the big country, United States of America, and there were many cooks who were good at cooking. Of course, the prince had talent for making delicious foods. So, the country had held a cooking contest every year.

One day, the princess was invited by him to the contest. Happily, she packed up. There are 'big spoon, middle spoon, small spoon, soup's spoon, rice spoon, long chopsticks, middle chopsticks, short chopsticks, kimchi chopsticks, a water cup, mugs for American and Korean coffee, and a lot bowls and plates........

When she arrived at the contest, he looked at her, who was thoroughly ready. And he could see her eating like pig and he said.

" Oh my feelings! she is my style. She is the first woman that I could marry!!!!!
Excuse me, could I know your name, sweety princess? "

" Oh my feelings! Do you think I'm a sweety? "

" Yes, I do! ^^ "

" How wonderful you are. I want to know about you more. Do you have time? "

" You can say that again! Follow me^^ "

After the conversation, they had happy time together by knowing each other.

So, they fell in love at once. And they decided to marry after the contest.

The end.

Park Min Ji: Nationalism Debate

Is Nationalism A Good Thing?


Nationalism is the desire for political independence of people who feel they are historically or culturally a separate group within a country. It is often associated with the belief that a particular nation is better than any other nation. And it is often used to show disapproval. Then, is nationalism a good thing?

If we don't have any mind to we love our nation, we might lose our own culture. When countries develop, nationalism is helpful. For example, our country, Korea, accomplished rapid economic growth. This is because we all had patriotism that encouraged us to cooperate.

I'm worried about over-nationalism! Appropriate control, such as for cultural assets, is important. Nationalism also includes tendencies that drive out other cultures. In globalization, nationalism leads nations to cultural and economic recession.

If nationalism exceeds appropriate levels, It can result in racial discrimination. For example, Nazis cruelly killed millions of Jewish people because Hitler thought his race was superior to the Jews.

Consequently, I think over-nationalism is not good. If it exceeds an adequate level, many problems will happen in our society. We have to properly use this idea only for good thing. We should be in harmony. We need to have self-esteem and also have acceptance.

Similarities and Differences between Korean and American Dramas

By Sora Kim


There are a lot of people interested in dramas in modern society. By watching dramas, we can receive enjoy and pleasure which relieves our lives' stress from work or study. I found some distinctive differences in the dramas both Korean and American.

First, there is a difference of when a drama ends. Most of the Korean dramas usually finish between sixteen episodes and twenty four (except for historical dramas). And there are definite ends of dramas. In American dramas, however, series have no limits. If a drama has public interest, the drama can continue. But there is a possibility that they may be bored by making another series.

Second, there is a difference in choosing materials used in a drama. In Korean dramas, most of materials are secret of birth, revenge, amnesia, and wealth and poverty. In Bright Inheritance, for instance, the hero is a rich, but the heroine is in poverty. Among them, the most frequently used material in the dramas is a love story. Surely, every drama may have a love story. But it appears too many times in Korean dramas. Korean authors think that everything must go to the love story. It is so commonplace. Conversely, American dramas have more various and abundant materials than Korean dramas. For example, Prison Break is a famous escape-from-prison drama. Dark Angel is a gene manipulation drama.

Third, there is a difference of the scale in dramas. American dramas invest a lot of money--more than Korean dramas. It creates strong plots and high quality. It makes people feel as if they are watching a movie.

However it doesn't mean that Korean dramas are bad and American dramas are good. Korean dramas such as Dae Jang Guem give to us knowledge about Korean food, medicine and we learn about Korean culture when we watch. And The Time of the Dog and Wolf have strong plot as well as American dramas. People who make a drama will perceive weak plot and shortages of the Korean dramas to compete against another dramas. Producers and authors must find something that viewers want in a drama.

Although one step doesn't change many thing, one step will become a strong power in the future, like "Many a little makes a mickle."

Narrative Essay

On Saturday, October 24th, 2009, I went to Seoul with my friends for a university visit. At night, I had laid awake thinking of the next day's events on the train. My friends had a dream. They want to succeed in matriculating at a college in Seoul. Seoul University, Korea University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies....

Finally, we arrived in Yongsan station. After that, we arrived in front of a subway station, thanks to my friend's uncle.

First, we went to Seoul University, Seoul's flower. Around the Seoul University station, many students were waiting for the school bus, despite it being the weekend. At last, we arrived in Seoul University. I was excited that I actually saw Seoul University's logo. In Seoul University, many middle school students came to visit. Seoul University's inside was not what I expected. I thought Seoul University would be small. Because of the large inside, we went to the place that we wanted to go.

The second place was Korea University. This university was my goal. Korea University is known for its beautiful campus. So my anticipation was large. Korea University's campus was really beautiful. It was just like Britain's school. I stood in front of building that I hope to go. I envied the students coming in and out the building.

The next place was Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. I thought there would be many foreigners because it's the university of foreign studies. But I didn't see foreigners.

After visiting in many places, we had plenty of time. So we decided to go to Kyungbok palace. We were divided into two groups. Each group saw beautiful buildings, sights, pond, and so on. All I saw was wonderful. I knew the reason why foreigners visit Kyungbok palace.

This traveling gave me many lessons. I knew korean culture, and I braced myself for my goals. Until now, I gave up my task before it was achieved. But from now on, I will never give up until I have achieved my goals. In any case, I will do my best to become Chungang University's student.

Similarities and Differences Between Middle School and High School
Eun Jin-Yeom


I am writing about middle school and high school. Middle school exists between elementary school and high school and carries out usual education. In high school, students who graduate middle school learn about more difficult things.

Now, I will earnestly compare junior high school with high school. At first, what do they have in common? First of all, we have to study not only in middle school but also in high school. And to check out levels of students, take tests regularly. Moreover, students should not forget to wear uniforms. There are good things also, such as we study with 30 friends in same class. Then we have picnics, camping trips and school trips too. Also, rules are alike.

Secondly, let's see the differences between middle school and high school. In middle school, to study is not so important. So they go home at 5 o'clock without autonomous study. While in high school, students must study hard to enter a university. Therefore, they can't go home until 10 o'clock. Accordingly, those who live in a dormitory go home once every two weeks. And to get a good score in College Scholastic Aptitude Test (CSAT), we study Korean, English and math, contrasted with art, music, physical education. Thus the chance for learning those subjects are reduced.

As a result, middle school and high school has a lot in common and a lot of differences. But the most important thing is that both are the cause to make the students' dreams come true.

Jung Ji Eun's Essay: Nationalism Debate

Debate About Nationalism

By Jung Ji Eun

Nationalism is an ideology that thinks of nation as the best thing. What do you think about nationalism? I think nationalism is a good thing. Those who object my opinion say that one race can ostracize all the other races because races think only of their own profit. Also, nationalism can lead to intolerance of others, so in globalization, nationalism leads nations to cultural, economical recession,said counterparts. And they say that one race can kill other races, such as Nazis and Hitler because of nationalism.

But I think nationalism is a good thing. Nationalism makes a race unify for their goal. Without nationalism, we could not have achieved historical events such as the 2002 World Cup and so on. And without nationalism, our nation's order will break down.

Nationalism can be divided into two parts. One part is exclusive nationalism, another part is open nationalism. The latter regards harmony with each nation in the whole world as important thing. But people often think nationalism is only an exclusive thing, bad thing. That is not true.

Like this, nationalism has good points and bad points. But for the maintenance of a nation, nationalism should become nation's basis. Therefore, I think nationalism is a good thing.

Lee Yu Hyun's Essay: Schooling for Teen Mothers

Schooling for Teen Mothers
by Lee Yu Hyun

For most people of Korea, early pregnancy is not desirable.

It is regarded as a crime, if a teenage girl is pregnant, Koreans think she is immoral, blamable.

I think this perspective comes from Confucianism. It strictly discriminates between women and men. From long time ago -at least since Joseon dynasty- men have been treated as much more precious than women.

So, I think this influences bad ideas about teen's pregnancy. And basically, earlier pregnancy is not good for both the mother and her baby because teenagers' babies are not mature. So, teen mothers and their babies grow together. This may cause baby's deformation. Still, most people think earlier pregnancy is not desirable, but this is not only a stereotype but also worrying for teen parents' health. They are not ready and are not mature yet. I also think unwed pregnancies are not desirable because most of society will blame teen mothers and they will come ostracized.

So I think earlier pregnancy is not good for both mother and baby. Teenagers must careful about pregnancy.

Yang Bora's Introduction

Self Introduction
By Yang Bora

I'm Yang Bora in Naju high school. My family consists of my mom, father, and three sisters. I am the youngest child, so I was loved so much by my parents. But in my childhood, the rest of my family members came home late at night because of their work and school lives. I was usually alone in my home. This made me solitary and affects the present. Now, I like getting along with people, because I know that being alone is so lonely and sad. I am sociable. This is one of my appealing points.

Since I am the youngest child, I want to be a lovely person. but I have one big problem. I am too short. A tall man even says "Where are you Bora? I can't find you because you do not appear in my sight..." Isn't it so sad? If I were taller than now, I would have more confidence and could wear nice blue jeans. But, I turned my complex into advantage and became 2-3 class leader. Whenever people think of me, they regard me as an attractive person who, in spite of her short height, has big voice and power and many other advantages. The saying "a smaller pepper is hotter" is the best saying for me.

After my entrance into high school, many adults asked me, "what will you be in the future?" At first, I had no exact answer because I didn't experience many things. I was just forced to sit in the chair and study. This question even bothered me. However, I became to have a blueprint recently. I want to be an English teacher. I like English, but the major cause of my decision is my English teacher. The care which she gave me inspired my interest and passion about English. She could serve for us, so I became to respect her and thought about teacher work. I really want to be an English teacher who gives students more care than I was given and communes with students from the heart. I'll specialize in English. Learning English will help me to take a leap. I'll go forward step by step.

School Uniforms

School Uniforms

-Choi Han Na, Kim Su Min:)

In Korea, we must wear each school's uniforms. ( But sometimes, Special high schools such as Science School don't have any uniform)

Actually, our school, Naju High School, is one of the schools that have uniform. ( Our school's uniform is not so good. ( so cold) Almost all schools control remodeling their uniforms. For example, they control skirt's length. ( not so short) And they don't want skinny uniform.

Until 13, in elementary, students don't have to wear uniform and also they don't have uniforms.(except some private elementary schools.)

Specially, in Korean Minjok Leadershop Academy, they wear 'Hanbok',the traditional clothes in Korea, for uniform.

Recentrly, we have some poroblem with Uniform's prices. Because the uniform producers sell so expensive.

Also, we have pros and cons with wearing unifoms. One of the pros is we don't have to choose clothes every morning. The other point is we can distinguish other school's students easily. And we can be protected many dangerous society's crime.

But there are bad things,too. First, to express our personalities is so hard in school. Second, it is uncomfortable. Third, in Korea uniforms are too expensive considering 'one' clothes.

But we think uniform is one of our memories in our life ;9

4 Rivers Project

By Eun Byeol and Su Hyeon

Korea has 4 big rivers. They were big part of korean industry before. And now they represent korean nature.

The 4 Rivers Project is korean new deal project which has been pushed ahead by Lee Myeong-bak goverment since the second half of year 2008.

It harms an ecosystem : it is a project only for human being. So they only concentrate on the economic efficiency more than rare plants and endangerd animals.

The Goverment still progress it dogmatically.

Though 70% of koreans object this project.

We have to care more about the ecosystem.

The goverment`s dogmatic behavior retrogresses the times.

They must respect citizens and comunicate with them.

If we do like this, we`ll develop more and more.

People who object the 4 rivers project

Dokdo

Dokdo
By Lee Da Ham-and Park Su-Min

Dok-do, which means the island of isolation, is the Korean island located in the East Sea.
It is volcanic island near Uleoung Island.
This natural environment is pure and the view from the sky is pretty good.
Today, because there are many kinds of natural resources under Dok-do, such as natural gas, Japan started to claim that Dok-do is their land.
This is an obvious fact that Dokdo is korean territory.
Because we have a text which says "Dokdo is korean territory." And mark on the world map.
Therefore, Dokdo is part of Korea .
