chapter2 disscussion question
3.Will Smith has a cocky attitude to treat ailien. Therefore we learn that most people were surprised by ailien visit, but someone was not surprised that.
4. The movie describes the Americans are great people. The Americans in the movie are very brave, scrappy and industrious. They don't give up and stand up to the mighty aliens and save the world.
5. Compared with Deep Impact and Armageddon, Independence day don't describe relation between people. Those movies give values to plot, characters and computer graphics. But Independence day shows brilliant computer graphic only. The characters and plot are very monotonous and simple. Spectators wonder fantastic graphics first, but they don't touched by movie and forget the movie as they go out the theater.
6. This is a negative review
because the reviewer said that ‘Independence Day’ has the same concept with other movies, but just because of the great casting and timing the movie got popular. So this mean that ‘Independence Day’ is not a valuable movie.
7. The movie was successful not because of the story but because the movie cast recognizable big stars, spent much money and uses spectacular special effects. Also the timing was good.

Reason for choice: When I was young, I dreamed become a model. Because I was tall and I think model looks great when they run on the runway wearing beautiful clothes. Nowaday although I change my dream, I recall my childhood dream when I saw Tyra Banks. She always has not only beautiful body and face, but also confidence and attraction. Therefore when I see her on TV, I feel that I need more confidence and I promise to be a active woman. And I think that dream is come true when do hard practise and effort.

Other :
Reason for choice :
She is very popular actress in Hollywood and many women's object of envy. But she doesn't rest on her laurel. She works for poor people all around the world, and campaigned human rights. So, when I saw her good deed through the Internet, I was so impressed. Her works inspired me that I want to volunteer in poor country like her, but I didn't have a chance for it. Fortunately, I seize the opportunity in this month. When I entered Sookmyung Women's University, the volunteer activity club 'Sookmyung Rotaract' attracted me, because it has worked abroad volunteer activity annually. So, I joined this club and I act positively. I expect abroad volunteering in this Summer.
He wrote many books, and three of them are very popular. The first is ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’, the second is ‘the five people you meet in heaven’ and the third book is ‘For one more day’. I read all of these, but the most touching story was ‘For one more day’. This book is about a son who gets to spend just one day with his mother who died eight years earlier.
The day when I read that was my last week in Busan because I had to come to Seoul. For that reason, I was very depressed that day, and just worried about my new school life. But after I read the story I realized that there are so many people who I have to say thank you. I had just one week to spend with my family and friends. So I renewed my mind and tried to meet more people and to spend good time with them instead of being lonely. Thanks to that book, the last week in Busan I was very happy. This is the reason why I pick this book and the writer, Mitch Albom.

Outside the box1
She is very kind and bight person, so lots of people like her. Also she makes other people happy.
But I am a little unkind and do things which makes people angry. Exspecially my parents.
When I want to have a good time with people, these bad habits are obstacles.
Maybe I am thinking too dramatic that she is kind and I am bad. But seeing her makes me feel like that. So I have wanted to be like her and actually I got much better than few years ago.
Just because of her being beside me I'm getting kinder.

Chapter1 Discussionquestions
So She was influenced her father's strong side and strength.
And Her mother is diplomat. So, She was taught very high education at that time.
These substantial background was made her.
She was very strong and smart person.
And She did play an important role in Burma.
3.She was very dedicated person to her nation and strong will person.
She did play on pioneer in her nation. because, Her nation was ruled by junta.
So She could be active person for her nation's democratization. and she is that person.
And She protested very unique and respectable way to junta.
non violent protest was very peaceful way. Also that is very valuable protest.
Moreover, That is follow her spiritual master Gandhi's philosophy.
4.She is seperate from her sons. Because she work for democratization which weaken power of government, Burma's government would be denied to re-entry if she left the country. I think that she is cold.Because she is member of family as well as mother. So she should have found method that meet her family and work fo democratization. In addition other country must help her to meet her son. Because she make effort to Burma's peace and peace of one country is related to world's peace.
5.I think that Nobel Peace Prize awards to someone who contribute to world's peace. She made effort to democratization which gave freedom to Burmese. In addition she protest against junta government with peaceful. And world's peace is made of each country's peace. So I agree that she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
6.I agree with Aung San Suu Chi.
Jun Ta didn’t want to lose their power but there were problems to maintain it. So they use power in a bad way to protect it, but at final they corrupted.
Like this, if someone got fear about something, he(or she) will do everything to overcome it and protect what he want. He will not mind if the way is good or not. In this way if he does too many wrong things he will corrupt.
As Aung San Suu chi said, power is not the problem. If someone has confidence in his work, he won’t do bad things to get something.
Because of his fear, power is used in a bad purpose.
7.She is now place under a house arrest. So the situation is very bad. But I think she will always think of her country’s peace with hopeful mind instead of feel gloomy.
Also she has a very strong willpower maybe she will try to protect her belief even if she has to give up something personal, as she chose to being separated with her son few years ago.
And one more, she was not a good mother for her son but she will miss him very much and maybe she feels sorry about him.

selfassessment chapter1

It is easy to join the English class. Because my professor is very good and my class mate do all activities with fun. So I can adapt to the class very easy.
In Life.
It is easy to live in Seoul. Of course in Korea, everywhere is similar, but when I came to Seoul from Busan, few days ago, I was worried very much.
But my sister and grandmother take care of me very good, and my new friends are so kind to me. So I’m very comfortable now.
What was difficult?
In English class.
It is difficult to follow the class. I don’t mean I can’t understand what the professor says, but I am confusing to make a blog, a new mail address and so on. Of course it will be easy to use when it gets accustomed. But now I have to make lots of things in a short time, and this is not easy for me.
I hope it is not only my problem. Because I not a computer illiteracy.
In Life.
University life is still difficult to me a little. Because it is different from the high school one. I have to find all what I have to do, what I need by myself. There is no homeroom teacher, so I have to run around the school if I have a question. And also each class has different classroom, so every time I have to find where the classroom is. It will be much easier when time goes. But now it is hard to find the classroom in 10minutes, the resttime.
What did I learn?
In English class.
Actually I haven’t had many chances to talk or spend time with foreigners. But now my professor is a Canadian. So I can learn the correct pronunciation and the right time to use a word.
In Life.
I always learn many things in life. These days I learn how to spend time correctly. Actually when I came to University at first, I wanted to go shopping, watch movies or go out for lunch every day. But I realized that in university there are lots of things to study and my friends do very hard. So I decide to study hard too and also I will go to town to have fun.
I’m now learning how I should spend time to satisfy both of these.
What do I need to improve?
In English class.
I am very bad at English grammars. So I Should try to speak with right grammar.
And also I don’t know much English expressions. To improve this, I need to listen carefully what my professor says.
In Life.
I need to improve my willpower. I am a little weak, so when the turning point of season comes, I easily get cold and have allergy. Because of this I can not concentrate on studying or reading book. But I think if I try to overcome it, I can do it. So I have to overcome the weakness of mind.
