ITP
Today finally is a day that I have to take a ITP test. Frankly, I feel a few nervous because name just called test give me a burden, and I would really like to know the increasing my score of English skil. Anyway, as time goes by, I took a test competely. My feeling taken a test is not bad. However, I really feel inconvenience the part of Listening section. Although the story of each problem is a very short, it is not easy for me to understand the problem. It was because the shortest story give me a confusion preferably. For this reason, I cannot find easily the clue and solution on the problem. However, in the parts of the grammer and reading section, I feel my developed ability certainly. In conclusion, it is not bad test for me. I do not look forward to increasing the skills rapidly, but I always try to develop my skills slowly without cease. Finally, tomorrow is a last day of ESL class. I come to think the first meeting of the class. I cannot forget that moment. During taking the class, I suffered the many events. As for me, I feel time is fast like arrow. Now, I am very comfortable; meanwhile, I feel empty. Moreover, I want to express the appreciation for Linnea professor. Linnea, I cannot forget the teaching of you. Thanks Linnea!

Finished the Presentation and Final Test
Wow, both the presentation and final test are finished from now. I am very comfortable, whereas I feel empty. Frankly, I am a little tired and have quite toughed during the ESL class. However, it was time not to forget for me. Maybe I make sure that this will remain the good memento in life. Now, there are only two days until finished the ESL class. For this reason, I will try to lastly do my best in terms of the class. Tomorrow is a ITP test. I am a lttle nervous, but I am expecting the developed my score. After attending the Spring semester, I feel certainly the developed skills on English. However, as for me, I do not know these results will reflect the score. Anyway, like the words of the professors, I will take a rest just today. Then, I will take a ITP test as a perfect condition.

What the hell! I received the terrible score on Survey of Calculus.
Oh my god! yesterday I received the mail from the professor of Survey of Calculus. When I clicked the mail and read the contents, I was embarrassed and was surprised by the very bad score. Whenever I always took the test of the subject, I always tried to do best. It was because I orginally was not good at mathemathics. For this reason, I prepared this test hardly as the former tests. Nonetheless, the result was very terrible. At that time, my mother rang up for me. When she said " How was it going and have you studied hard?", I felt sorry in internal mind. I cannot say I received the bad score to her. Now, I am thinking about the mistake of the professor. In the last test, he took the mistake about the test grade of one student. He did not check the last page, so he proofread the score. For this reason, I hope he took the mistake about the score for me.

The difficulties of the Presentation
Speech in front of many people is very difficult, but process for preparing the presentation is very difficult as well. For instance, I had trouble in choosing the topic for making a speech in Public Speaking class. Because the professor gave a free topic, not specific topic, so firstly I had the problem before making the main outline. Anyway, tomorrow is finally the presentation of ESL class for examining the skill of the students as a FINAL PROJECT. Fortunately, the topic of the presentation is not free. Nevertheless, Describing myself as the title of the topic seems not to be easy. It was because we should use a novel ideas and organizations for the better presentation. If I just use commonly the birth, house, story in childhood related to me, it will not contribute to make the professional presentation. For this reason, I am pondering how orgainze and use which ideas for making this presentation at this moment. Anyway, the presentation is a very important things as well as ITP, so I will try to create the address.

Death Penalty
I made a speech in Public Speaking. I chose the topic ' Should the death penalty be banned as a form of punishment'? as persuasive speech. In my opinion, I opposed this topic. It was because death penalty is the best way which reduces the perpetrators. My first evidence is that
the death penalty gives closure to the victim's families who have suffered so much. Second is
it creates another form of crime deterrent. Third is justice is better served. Fourth is our justice system shows more sympathy for criminals than it does victims. Fifth is prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill. Last proof is DNA testing and other methods of modern crime scene science can now effectively eliminate almost all uncertainty as to a person's guilt or innocence. For these reasons, I opposed the topic. Also, I have never changed the necessity of death penalty.

Global Trade and Public Speaking
Two tests of Global Trade and Public Speaking finished today. Now, I felt very tired as well as happy. Frankly, I was worried about the test of Global Trade and the presentation of Public Speaking. It was because there were complex affairs being able to stress for me last week. For this reason, I was anxious about preparing the test and the presentation. Anyway, in spite of these difficulties, I was working the tasks hard steadily. Now, I am very comfortable although I do not know what is my score. Also, I hope that I will get good grades.

About the Topic of the Final Project
The topic of the Final Project is about introducing myself. When I firstly received this topic from Linnea, I felt it will be easy for me. However, later, I thought it is not easy for me to perform this project. Fortunately, the duration of the announcement is just 2 minutes. That means we should focus on quality than quantity. The presentation will be due next week. For this reason, I was preparing and working that zealously.

ITP
After two weeks, I will take a ITP test as one of the diverse requirements to pass the ESL class. In addition to the ITP test, I will address the presentation and take a final exam. Nevertheless, I am especially worrying about the ITP test because I think the test is difficult for me to get the good grade. In the test, listening part is very short for me. For this reason, I prepared and practiced the listening while I completed the course of UMC in Korea. Nevertheless, I couldnot get good score in the listening part, so I often am disappointed by that. Before I came in America, I had much of anxiety because I couldnot listen English. In the beginning of Spring Semester, I also suffered from trouble of listening as well as speaking. However, as I tried to listen carefully and clearly, now I have understood quite the meaning of listening. Frankly, I am very wonder about those changes may impact the score of ITP test. Anyway, I will try to practice the listening and study the grammar. I hope those efforts will reflect on the good grade.

My brain complexing and puzzling
I am complexing and am intertwining my brain by quite a few tests. Next week, I have to take the tests. Those are Public Speaking, Global Trade, and Survey of Calculus. Also, I have to prepare to take a test on Presentation, Final,and ITP of ESL. It does not left the time we have to take a class. For this reason, I feel comfortable while I am worring about the burden of tests. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to complain that situation. Therefore, I will study steadily to achieve the good grades.

Musical Comedy
What is Musical Comedy? Frankly, I do not well about that because I am not interested in it well. In ordinary times, I usually am interested in only K-pop,and Pop. When I knew the muscial comedy, maybe it was the time since I entered the University of Kyungwondae so as to complete the process of the UMC course. In class, I made friends with Hoyeung Kim who really love the muscial comedy. I felt he will be a good muscial actor or muscial director as seeing his confidence, singing ability, sense of humor, dance skill, and boldness. Also, I was surprising that he is a one who has a huge passion about muscial comedy. Whenever I saw him, he did not cool down that. Finally, he expressed his passion by act the play as main character held in University of Crookston. Frankly, I was worried about that because all lines have written by English. Therefore, I was worried about he may had a problem in terms of the expression of feeling. However, he showed the grestest performance in the play. At that times, I was very proud of the fact he is a my friend. In sum up, I hope he will be a good muscial actor or director without recess. Fighting Hoyeung kim!!

Overcoming and Endurance for Distress
Most people have faced the difficulties during lifetime. When the difficulties occur, one overcome those burdens. On the other hand, other tend to abandon easily without a little overcoming and endurance. As for me, I would like to say that I can exist in the middle between two kinds of prior patterns of people. Anyway, I have suffered many kinds of heavy anguish during lifetime. After I entered the University of Crookston, especially I have troubled on studying. When I am stressed due to the difficulities some subjects, I often am very tired and suffer the headache. Sometimes, I often thought that I am very weak person. I expect studying will be hard as I continue it. For that reason, I think the circumstance being placed in me now is basic level. Therefore, I should overcome the process so as to achieve my goal. Fighting!!

You are stranded on a deserted island!
When I woke up, I couldnot know where I was. After I looked around the surroundings for a while, I came to know this place was like the deserted island. There were not any kinds of food, drink, or even people. I cannot believe the pitiable condition. I felt like Robinson Crouso. Suddenly, I was very hungry and then was looking for food and drink. I found pineapple in the pineapple tree, and drank the fresh liquid in the pineapple. Furthermore, this food was used as food. Fortunately, I was rescued by a rescue party when I arrived in here the period of 1 week.

Sydney Olympics
Australian radio station Triple J breakfast show co-host Adam Spencer announced in 1999 that he had a journalist on the line at the site of a secret IOC meeting and that Sydney had lost the 2000 Summer Olympics. New South Wales Premier Bob Carr was also in on the joke. Mainstream media (including Channel 9's Today Show) picked up the story.
This prank is really fun and is gullible.

A little exhausted me, but.....
In these days I have been feeling tiresome and exhaused about studying. It may means that I begin to be bored about studies. However, what I really say is that I sometimes feel disappointing about studying when the grades were not good than I could think of. After the beginning of the spring semester, I always tried to study hard without abandonment. When I am tired, I thought my family, friends, and myself. Moreover, I believed that the hard procedure is just tiny parts of distant way from success. In these thinking, I feel I have been exhausted by studying. Nevertheless, I know I should not give up studying although it bothers me. Even though I feel melancholy now, I will start a restorative feeling tomorrow.

Red symbolizing powerful and dynamic
I individually prefer to red color of all colors. That is why red represents powerful and dynamic aspect. Whenever I see this color, except the color of blood, I feel powerful and active.
Feeling of many countries to this color is overall moderate. In China, especially, it is recognized as good phenomenon. Chinese think red color as luck, happy, and good things. Korean think it is very dynamic color. When WorldCup 2002 holds in Korea and Japan, Korean use this color in Red Devil. As we read above, Red color undoubtly expresses dynamic and powerful. For these reasons, I like red color.

Spring semester having been finishing
Time flies like arrow. I feel time passes fast lately. It has passed about 4months since I attended University of Minnesota Crookston. Frankly, it is very diffcult for me to make a living in many aspects. New culture shocking, food, unique way of living in USA, and especially English makes me tough. However, this my weak mind reminds my actual purpose of studying abroad. As time goes by, I feel emotion adapting the environment in here. Of course, it is not perfect. However, I think this situation is good starting of distant real goal. Now, it leaves about 5weeks until finishing spring semester. I will try to get good grades in all subjects, especially in ESL.

Beginning of Spring Break
Wow! It is a spring break. I am very exciting and happy. However, this emotion will disappear tomorrow. That is why I have to stay in Crookston. I really want to travel Minneapolis. However, there are two tests after finishing spring break. For this reason, I decide to stay here to prepare tests. Most people will go to travel Minneapolis. I am very envy them. Nevertheless, Ho young, other friends, and I will stay here. I think it is not easy to just study during this break. If I study hard during spring break, I could do well on the test. Although I will suffer from mental anguish, I will study hard to taste sweet grades.

Therefore, I will complete the address after eating dinner. I would like to pray for God in order to do well speech tomorrow.

Tell me the story of the day you graduated high school
On February 14 last 2007, I ,as a matter of fact, graduated Yangjung high school when I was in 18age. I am very happy because I not only graduated high school but also I, as a matter of fact, can be recognized as a adult. In the other day, I was very nervous, but I do not know exactly that reason. I, undoubtedly, could not sleep well that night. That day, at last, breaks. Graudating all of students were come together at the auditorium. Then, principal was taking a speech for us. Then, we came back to the our class, and we, at last, talked with my class teacher. Suddenly, I felt inconvenience and regret about teacher. After a few minutes, my brother, my mother, and my maternal grandmother came to the class. After the class was finished, I took a picture with family, class teacher, and friends. I cannot forget that day because of my invaluable memento. When I will be in 30, I want to go to the high school again.

Daylight Savings
What is happened? Why time passes more than 1 hour quickly? I come to know the reason through fellow. That is why it is applied summer time. Frankly, I upset because of my oversleeping. However, I am relieved after I know the summer time. Anyway, thanks to the Daylight Savings, I can use 1hour usefully. In the past, I did not know exactly importance of 1hour. However, I come to know useful 1hour through the opportunity. I think just 1hour is a enough time which is able to study or surf on the Internet and what we enjoy own habit. Therefore, I believe that we had better use valuable and useful time during applied summer time.

I am trapped by someone. Help me!!
I never know where am I. What I have now are just extra socks, dental floss, a mini flashlight, a bag, and a set of keys. As for me, the place that I stand here maybe Pyramid. I am very afraid. Surrounding is very dark and I can hear someone is coming for me. I think I escape from Pyramid as soon as possible. A method to escape from here is to use just my tool and brain. Firstly, I come out from the prison by using a set of keys. Then, I begin to seek exit of Pyramid. Due to not having light in here, so I have to use mini flashlight. While I wander there, I find room which is filled with foods. Firstly, I feel happy because of plentiful foods, whereas I come to know someone live here, as likely as not. I pick up foods and then put them in bag. Then, I come out the room quickly. While I wander lots of room and door, I can hear voice of someone on the other side. Suddenly, I am very embarrassed, so I fall mini flashlight in my hand. Then, voices of people are stopped, and I run away quickly. While I run away, I can hear steps of lots of people with swords. I barely leave people out in the cold. I never can relax, but soon I find relaxation. I begin to make pitfall to eliminate enemy. I set up dental floss each stairs, door, and hallway. in order to attract them, I hang on extra socks where I installed dental floss. I begin to attract them, so I begin to sing a song. Then, immediately, gangs follow me. I run away keeping between them distance. As my guess, they begin to fall forward ridiculously. While I run away, I am highly delighted thanks to them. When I run away again, I can find big door. Then, someone open the door, I am very surprised. They are no less people than KSA member. I am very happy and at last I can escape from Pyramid like devil and hell.
Wonderful and interestingKSA day
Wow, tonight is a interesting and wonderful day for me because of KSA day. As Korea student Association, purpose of KSA is to introduce Korea culture, game, attire, food, language. Anyway, KSA member met and was preparing KSA day. Some people were cooking Bulgogi and rice, whereas other people was decorating Centennial lounge beautifully. I work KSA member together as helping carry foods. As for me, it seemed that foreigner like Korea attire called Hanbok. Also, they like Korea game called Yutnuleii. However, it seemed that it was difficult to them to learn the Korea language Hangul. We holded about 2hours and 30minutes. Although KSA member including me were tired, they looked happy and interest.
I heard that KSA president Don JIN KIM said that this day will hold until spring semester. Today party , of course, was a nice, but I want to be better party next time.

A nervous speech
It is a death of time. I am very nervous movement. I think that speech is a very difficult. I tried to practice many times in order not to forget lines and words.

After I finished speech, I regret and feel inconvenience. I have thought how to speech very well. Of course, many practices are useful and necessary task. Most of all, I should change mind into having composure.

Listening
How to listen very well? In many parts of English, especially I am very short of the listening. Therefore, I tried to listen so much as many methods. However, it is very difficult for me to improve my listening skill. I think that means of developing listening are listening everyday. It seems to hear that it is very easy. Nevertheless, I am very hard to keep the method. Finally, I come in here in order to learn English and other subjects. Therefore, I will change my habit.
I want to speech very well in front of public.
I am going to announce speech next week. Frankly, I am very worried about that because it will be a first experience which addresses a topic in front of foreigners, not Korean. I still do not choose any kinds of topic, and I have a anxiety about how I can speech very well. I have a little stage fright, so I will practice the speech so much in order to get over the short my speech.

History Center
I woke up at 5:30 a.m in the early morning. I felt colder in the dawn than in the morning. Anyway, people met at the student center, and we departed at 7'o clock by bus. A day's trip was fun because we went to the twin city. Unlike the Crookston, Twin city was urbanized and had many buildings and a few skyscraper. It took about 5hours arriving at History Center. In here, there were many people who demonstrated about high tuition fee in Twin city. Also, UMC students demonstrated with together. I really hoped that tuition fee in Twin city will be low. I was feel inconvenience because we do not go to the Twin city University. However, Today is a meaningful day.

Wonderful Performance!!
It is amazing!! It is excellent and fantastic acting!! I am proud of you, Ho Yeung. Yesterday I did not go to the play, so I go to the play with Ji woong. Before ' Act 3, Scene 5' play is started, play called ' Trifles' start firstly on stage. It includes a nice story and acting. As soon as the play is finished, second play is started. Suddenly turn lighting off, and seats for a guest are silent for a while. I have a little nervous and anxiety because ho yeoung sometimes forget his lines or his acting. However, I know that my thought is just unnecessary. During the play, I am impressed his overall acting is awesome, especially his kiss scene. It is joking! Frankly, while ho young has prepared the play, I helped so much his lines. Therefore, I am very happy and really proud of him. You are a nice guy, ho yeung.

Today is a Valentine's Day. I know that Korea's Valentine's Day is a little different from America's Valentine's Day. Most korean know that this event is a day that woman or girl gives man or boy which she likes. Also korea has a White's Day that boy or man gives woman or girl which he likes. However, in America, men or women gives chocolate each other as sending their loving mind. However, as differenting my idea, I can not see much the scene that people give and take chocolates. Frankly, I am feel inconvenience. Nexy year, I would like to give chocolate woman who was liked by me.

Something that I have lost
Something that I have lost in my life is wallet. In 3 years ago, after finished the school, I lost my wallet on my way home. When I knew the fact losting my wallet, I was very disappointed. In my wallet, there were lots of money, certification, and other invaluable cards. Therefore, I went to the outside in order to seek my wallet. Suddenly, I thought if I leave it in the bus. My guess is right. I am not happy until seeking my wallet. After I was barely regain my wallet, I was able to take breath. Also, I felt that significance of wallet.

Arson of Sunaymoon The gate
The arson of Sunaymoon The gate is a disaster. I did not believe firstly when I heard that Sunaymoon was burnt by one old man. When I saw the place through internet news, the huge and beautiful place was changed into cruel place. I wondered that why oldman committed this disaster. That is why it was a revenge against government. Old man was often wrongly accused by government and Police. In conclusion, he lost his family, property, and land. In my opinion, frankly, I am very confusing about this event. Who is the criminal? Of course, I think that he is a real criminal, but government and police also indirect criminal. Lastly, I wondered that what were watchmen doing during Sunaymoon were burning. If they defend carefully the place which is designated as number one of national treasure , this terrible event was not occurred.

Survey of Calculus
I have to take a calculus test on day after tomorrow. Frankly, I am very nervous and really worried about the test because I am not good at mathematics. In two weeks ago, I took a test about Algebra review, then I received score from professor. Though my score is not excellent score, it is not bad grade. In this reason, I have a little confidence about math. In high school, I choose a department of literal arts rather than a department of science. Unfortunately, I have not ever studied the Survey of Calculus because calculus is a part of science, not a literal arts. Thus, I am getting trouble with the math. However, I think that math is a interesting subject during studying the math. I will try to study very hard math steadily without abandonment. Lastly, I will get good score.

Nevertheless, I promised myself that I only played Starcraft during a break. Because I went to the America in order to study, but played this game.

Charlie Maguire Concert
After ESL writing class is finished, I read the mail from my tutor. She suggested promise which meets at the Bede ballroom in 7 p.m. In 7:05 p.m, Charlie Maguire shows up in the place. He is a oldman , but he looks having a passion of music. He plays the guitar with harmonica while he sings a song. I think that he is a good singer because he not only sings a song but also plays on a musical instruments. Also, he has a sense of humor. That's why he moves the audience to laughter as a only talking without humorous action. Anyway, concert of the Charlie Maguire is divided into two parts, and performance plays 2hours. During one of the his performance, I am deeply impressed by his spoon's performance with singing. He hits the thigh as the spoon made by wood. I think ridiculously that how painful he is. Anyway, it is a good experience.

I am very surprised the their words because they achieve everything that we think the things that it is impossibl to achieve dreams in ordinary times. After fininshing the lecture, I thought that it is impossible to copy all of their behavior, but if I practice like their good habit, I will be a good CEO.

My favorite musician is Michael Jackson. When I see him, I admire his incredible dance and singing. Especially, Moonwalk dance is a trademark which represents him. When he came in Korea in order to concert, my family directly went to the concert. It passed many times, but now I am able to remember his performance. Ticket was very expensive, nevertheless I satisfied his dance and singing. Recently, I heard that he come back the stage. I really expect to his new dance skills and powerful singing.
My least musician is Britney spears. She was a great queen of pop before she meets her husband. After she was married, she lost popularity. Also, she committed the bad behaviors during the divorce between her husband. Even she shaves her hair. Now, she is spotted by paparazzi.

What is good writing?
Description of writing is varied by people. However, I believe that definition of writing is refined speaking. When we are speaking, we sometimes tend to talk not in detail but roughly and briefly.
That's why people talk under looking at each other. However, in writing, I think that it is necessary to remark a organization as accurate and refined system. That's why we do not speak directly, while we have to convey our ideas to other people indirectly as a writing. If we do not write a refined organization, many people feel confuse about the writing. Therefore, when I write sentence, I always try to make the refined writing.

Introduce myself
My name is Lee, Changyob. I am from South Korea and 20years old. The reason that i study abroad in America is to achieve my goal. Of course, i can study in Korea, but i think that studying in America provides me the better education's environment. Last year, fortunately, i knew UMC program, so i entered the school about 8month. At that time, i studied very hard. However, i have trouble in many ways after i come to America. That's why i am short of speaking and listening. Also, i have trouble adapting in new environment of America. However, now, i have adapted the aspects of studying and environment. I always keep in mind the word that there is no success without efforts and sweat. Therefore, i will study very hard without frustration.
P.S. I would like to complete ESL as a good grade.
