Assignment 11 - Similarities between my high school teacher and my middle school teacher

...............There are several similarities between my high school teacher and my middle school teacher. First of all, both were very popular male teachers because they were understanding and supported students all the time. Both teachers taught Korean language. They made the students who liked them study very hard to earn their teacher’s praise. Both were very popular because they had a good sense of humor, too. Both had a very nice and bright personality even though they had a hard childhood. For these reasons, they were loved by many students.

Assignment 10 - Differences between as a safety instructor and a cabin crew

...............There are many differences between working as a safety instructor and a cabin crew. First, the working hours are totally different. While a safety instructor works nine to five every Monday to Friday, a cabin crew works very irregular schedules. For example, if she or he has a USA flight, she or he flies thirteen or fourteen hours continuously. Second, a safety instructor works in an office and classrooms, but a cabin crew works only in the aircraft. In addition, a safety instructor meets the same people in the office everyday, but a cabin crew meets new people every flight. Finally, attire is completely different. A cabin crew wears a uniform, but a safety instructor wears coveralls or formal clothes. There are many differences, so I enjoy both jobs.

Assignment 9 - Marrying someone from a different religion.

...............I don’t think it’s good to marry someone from a different religion. First, it’s good if a husband and a wife have many things in common including same religions. For example, if husbands and wives have different religions, they will have different religion beliefs. Due to different religion beliefs, both hardly ever enjoy their free time together. For example, a person who has belief in Hinduism, he or she cannot eat beef. So they have little time to have meals together. Also, it’s difficult to respect another person’s religion, unless they understand it perfectly. If there are any conflicts with your spouse’s religion, it can also cause problems with all of your family members. In Korea, there are those people who break up with their lovers because of a different religion. For these reasons, I think it’s good to marry someone from a same religion.

Assignment 8 - A slide/raft

...............Every aircraft is equipped with a slide/raft. This picture is a slide/raft of a B747 aircraft. It weighs 89.8 kg. It is 13.95m long and 9.8m high. In case of an emergency evacuation, all passengers are supposed to escape through this slide/raft. A slide is used for ground evacuation, and a raft is used for ditching. It can carry maximum 75 people when it is used as a raft. There are several ways to slide safely. First, your arms should be up. Second, sit upright and don’t lie down on the slide/raft. Third, keep looking at the spot where you’ll touch down. A slide/raft is very important and useful equipment that can save your life.

Assignment 7-How to make "Kimchi Fried Rice"

Next, put the kimchi and cooking oil in a frying pan and fry them for 5 minutes. After that, mix one bowl of cold rice with some amount of chopped kimchi and cook for 3 minutes. Then, cook a sunny side up egg. Finally, put the kimchi fried rice into a dish and cover with a sunny side up egg. When you have no appetite, this will be helpful for it.

Assignment 6 - Good things happen when you least expect them.

................Good things happen when you least expect them. My marriage is a good example. I was not interested in getting married until I met my husband. I was introduced to a man, who is my husband now, through my friend. When I first met him, I felt very comfortable and I told him a lot of things. I found we had a lot in common. After that, I was so busy that I couldn’t call or meet him again, but he kept in touch with me and he took care of me consistently. Nevertheless, he did it with all his heart, I never expected to marry him at that time. After time passed, the more I got to know him, I firmly believed he is my ideal man. He has always met my expectations and he has been trying to keep our promise. The most important thing is that he has given me his constant love. I was confident that I can do everything if I am with him, so I’ve made up my mind to marry him.

Assignment 5 - Education is important.

................Education is very important. First of all, education can develop characters and socials skills. There is a reason why you go to kindergartens, schools from when you are very young. Second, education is important for establishing financial stability. If you study more, you can have more knowledge. Third, education can achieve successes. People who are well-educated succeed in many fields. Education also helps close generation gaps between younger and older people. Finally, regardless of age, education is important to keep up with times and develop oneself.
