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.

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.
