Does being educated abroad during high school put you at an advantage or disadvantage over students who have studied only in Korea? Why?
I guess being eduacated abroad during high school put me at both sides, advatage or disadvatage over students who have studied only in Korea.
Being educated abroad during high school has some benefits.
For instance, in Global world, English has already been used in everywhere.
Being educated in native country wolud be much helpful for learning English.
In otherwise, being eduscated abroad during high school could be bring a disturbing result.
For example, identity problems will happen.
High school students are growing, not grown ups. So when they suddenly meet with new culture which is differnet from what they used to, they can be confused about identity problem. They are not perfectly established identity that they are koreans.
In short, in this case, there exist two sides. Being abroad during high school could be advantange or disabvantage overthe students who have studeid only in Korea.

Post-Reading Discussion Question
Do you think she should have won the Nobel Peace Prize? Why?
Yes, I do.
Sacrifice can't be only impact for deciding who would win the Nobel Peace Prize. There are lots of people who sacrifice themselves for their own benefits. It means anyone can do those kinds of acts. So someone who win the Novel Peace need more than that. Aung San Suu Kyi was different from others. She grew up with no difficulty, actually even well. However, she didn't lead peaceful life. She fought for democracy. It was not for herself, it was for all the people in her country.
Aung San Suu Kyi said in her speech that "fear, and not power, is the cause of corruption." Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
I totally agree with her opinion. Power itself doesn't always give rise to corruptions. When the person who gets the power fears losing the power, corruptions will start. He will try to hold his power anyhow. In this course, corruptions also will be involved.

Who has had a positive influence on you?
Who has had a positive influence on you?
⇒ my best friend 'Song'
Why?
⇒ I have had a girl friend since I was seven years. I met her my apartment. She lived at 9th story and I lived at 2th story. She was a congenial friend. We two had many things in common. But we were different in personality. She was very active and positive but I was passive and negative. For example, as we were middle school student, we went to academy for study. When we have a question, I hesitated asking to teacher but 'Song' asked my teacher without any hesitation. I envied 'Song' for her activity. At that time, I decided to resemble my friend. I thought that I can follow 'Song', and I can be same as 'Song'. As there is an old proverb that 'He who touches pitch shall be defiled therewith', I resembled 'Song'. Now I'm very active and positive even if I have passive and negative personality a a little. So because of my friend, I can easily adapt myself to New world and make many new friends. I appreciate my best friend 'Song'

Solution
1. Reading skill
First, choose the book I am interested in or a text book would be great. And then use spare time. For example, while I go to school in the subway, I take a book and read it. It takes a few minutes but I can also concentrate on the book easily. I think important thing is not the qauntity I read a day but even though quantity is little, constant reading can improve my reading skill. There are two case. One is I read 100 pages for 2 hours, just one day. And the other is I read 10 pages for 30 minutes every day. The last one is more helpful for train.
2. Summary skill
Every time, after I read a book, think about the whole story in my mind. I had better start with the short story like an article. Reading an article fast and concentrately helps summarizing the contents. And also while I'm reading, I underline every key words I consider as important. It is best way to upgrade summary skill for me. For example, after I read an article a day, I explain the news to my friends.
3. Comprehension Questions
I think first two methods can solve this problem. If I totally understand the whole story, there can't be no problem. When I face the conprehension Questions, I should memorize the important parts. If I summarize the contents well, answering the questions will be easy. The answer should consist of my own words, and obviously the point should be same too.

Movie
1. Title: Illusionist
2. Type of film: Mystery Romance
3. Director: Neil Burger
4. What was the movie based on? (a book, a true story, biograophy, etc.)
The movie was base on the book, a Pulitzer Prize work. It is ''The Barnum Museum'' which is written by Steven Millhauser.
5. Setting: This is the movie with vienna in 19c as its setting.
6. Cast and characters: Edward Norton was casted for main actor, Eisenheim who is a illusionist. Jessich Biel was casted for main actress, Sophie who is officially the Crown Prince's fiancee and also Eisenheim's lover.
7. Plot summary: Once upon a time, a boy and a girl loved each other. But they differed in social standing, so they could't be together. One day, suddenly the boy whose name is Eisenheim left the village without saying anything. Few years later, he came back. He had already been a great magician. Because of his fame, the Crown Prince was also interested in his magic. Actually he wanted to find out magic trick to make Eisenheim feel humilliated. That is why the Crown Prince invited Eisenheim. There was the woman who used to be Eisenheim's lover and also she was the Crown Prince's fiancee at that moment. When they met, they noticed each other. They started to meet secretly, that is a dangeroust job. At last, it was found out. They had to plan the way that nobody distured their love. During their plan, Sophie unexpectly died. Actually this accident was also part of their plan. She did not die, it was all fake. Eisenheim played tricks on everybody ultimately, he manipulated people to believe that the Crown Prince killed Sophie. In short, truth is everything was tricks he made to be with Sophie.
8. Personal opinion: The story was not just simple. Because the ending was unexpected, so I was really surprised. In the movie, the magic show was also exciting. I realized that magic is based on the scientific facts. When I watch a magic show, I guess it would rather just enjoying the show than trying to find the tricks. I can recommend this movie to others.
