Early childhood English education 1


 Did you hear about early childhood English education? It is

education for children to learn English before they enter elementary

school. What do you think about it? Is this a good system or a bad

idea? I think early childhood English education is not good for

children. Education is surely an important factor for the development

of our society, and of course English is a very important factor for a

better life, but how about early childhood English education? I don't

agree this is necessarily good education. As you know, most

children want to play outdoors with their friends, and learn among

the marvels of nature. However, these days many children can't do

that, because many parents think that playing or learning something

not studying is a waste of time for their son or daughter.

 They think only to study is the best use of time, so they make

them study. Especially, in Korea, most people think English is a

second language, so many parents want their son or daughter to learn

English as soon as possible. Accordingly, they sacrifice their child's one

and only childhood to satisfy their need as parents, not for their child's

future. In childhood, emotional patterns are formed, but many children

who are pressured by parents are stressed emotionally. In my case,

for example, I studied Chinese characters, mathematics and English

from Noonnopi, during my childhood. At that time, I often threw my

homework away, and then I said to the teacher "I did study, but I lost

the study paper, sorry." It was very bad now I think about it, but maybe

still many children are telling lies like me.

 They are learning not how to study but how to be pretend

to study. More parents should think about their childhoods, and

then shouldn't demand their children become perfect people. Even if

you think you are a perfect mom or daddy, if you really want your

children to learn English early, you have to teach Korean perfectly

first. We are Korean, not American, so at first we need to know

our own language, Korean more than English. You will become parents

if you want to get married, so naturally you will think about your

children's future, so don't forget the importance of education and

English, and don't do early education in English!

         Section : Culture
 This is story about opened the 12th Pusan International film festival

on Thursday, and this article showed the theme of PIFF. I chose this

article because this event open in Nampo-dong, Busan. As you know

I have been living in Busan, so I'm interseting in the festival absolutely.

Especially, Nampo-dong is not far from my house, Yongho-dong. This

is famous film festival in Korea, so many actors and directors come to

here to celebrate opening and closing event, so many people in Busan go

to festival to see not only films but also them. I didn't go there, so I think

next year surely go with my boyfriend. Last year, I went to see a movie

star, Kang Dong-won. I waited for a long time just to see him. When he

appeared at Nampo-dong, many people crowded around him, so it was

hard to see him, but I pushed and pushed them, finally I saw him. He

was handsome more watching in TV. I still like him. Anyway this festival

is proud to me, also many people living in Busan. I hope this event will

become one of the best film festivals in the world.

What do you think about platic surgery? 1


 I agree that, because a lot of people prefer that and they want to have

a plastic surgery.For these people, a plastic surgery could make them

confidence, and then they could do well in social life brightly and openly.

However, why some people disagree having a plastic surgery? The

reason why they disagree with a plastic surgery is this. They worries

about the reactions. However , these days medical science skills are

developing, and reaction is decreasing, because of the increasing of

medical science skills. Therefore, if people don't have a plastic surgery

extremely, they do not have to worry about the reactions.

What do you think about plastic surgery? 2


 Also, they are worrying about the money for the plastic surgery, but
 
I think this is for the kind of future investment. Today, the appearance

is competitive. In Korea, to apply for a job, people thinks that appearance
 
is important, and also, a lot of people take care of themselves to get

a job. I talked about this is plastic surgery is not needed to have a job,
 
but the appearance is very important to live in social life. However,
 
it is important that having a confidence just by the appearance is not
 
good. Anybody should have a confidence with themselves that they
 
can do anything they want to do.

What is perseverance?


 Perseverance is important key to succeed in hard life. What do you

think about it? Do you have it? According to the dictionary,

perseverance is the quality of continuing to try to achieve

a particular aim in spite of difficulties. I think so. If you have

patience, you could do anything. However, if you don't have it, you

should try to have it, because it will help you to control yourself, and

then more and more, you will learn how to keep the peace. If you

always don't bear anything, you couldn't do anything, so we have

to have a perseverance and use it for your successful life.
