OH, NO!! Your shoes is NOT allowed >_<

American Cultures.......

There is one thing I still don't really understood.

It is unsanitary to keep shoes on inside the home.

I was shocked to see one of my American friends enter her bedroom without removing her shose after tending the garden.

Think of the dirt and germs her shose might have carried into her bedroom!

She vaccum her rooms often, but it still unthinkable for me to wear shoes indoor.

Korean often wear slippers indoor, but never our outdoor shoes.

A few weeks ago, my sister ordered a pizza by telephone. After that, Delivery man entered into my house with his unclean shoes.

OOOOH! NOOOO! I was busy for clearing away the night soil and laid pizza aside.

Because he trode dog dung on my front yard before entering my house. >_<

Have you ever been curious to know...........?

Have you ever been curious to know how happening was occurred to someone's first experience about MIRROR?

I had ever been curious to know it, so I found a folktale of mirror.

After that, every time I watch a mirror it flash on my mind. *^^*

Of course, this is my country tale, so I have to translate Korean sentences into English.

I hope that my sincere classmates enjoy this funny story :-) smilely!

One day, a farmer had a chance to go to the capital.

His wife was thinking about what to ask husband to get for her.

Finally, she said that she want a fine comb, but he didn't know how the comb looks like.

At that time, fortunately, a half-moon was on the sky, so his wife pointed at the half-moon, and then she told him that the comb looks like that.

She said "You can find it at cosmetic shop, or buy it at jewelry store."

He finally understood it and departed to the capital that have many various stores

Since he arrived at the capital, several days have past because of his works.

He just realized that his wife asked him to get something, but he couldn't remember what it was.

However, he just remembered that it looks like a moon, so he looked up the moon which was a full moon.

Anyway, he bought a round something for her, and gave it to her.

At last, uncommon something-there was a strange woman in it-

actually occurred to her whenever she look at the gift which she eager to get,

so she showed it to her husband's mother.

When her mother-in-law looked at it, there was a strange old woman in it,

so they had a violent dispute whether a strange woman was young or not.

The gift threw them into confusion

What on earth did he brought? .......... It was a MIRROR!

He just bought the mirror!

His wife just misunderstood that her husband brought a strange woman!

His mother just didn't never know her wrinkled face!

Today, my grammar class is canceled,again.

All my classmates, Have a weekend!!!

My regrettable event (_ _) =_=

The most regrettable event, which I had in the past, is that I did not respect my parents at all.
Of course, I am still not respectful to my parents and making their heart break.
To illustrate my experience happened when I was an elemetary school student,
they had been so busy that they could not care what I was doing.
Our family was in the situation in which we were not accustomed to the ways nearby our house because we just moved into a new house.
I did not go back to my home until 6 p.m., playing with children in the village .
Actually I was playing without knowing that my parents were trying to find me, setting apart their work.
When I returned to my home, I saw my mother was shedding tears for the first time in my life.
I was so shocked when I saw that. And I realized that they love me although they have scolded on me every day.
Therefore, I still do not listen well my parents' words, I will practice to respect them, not just mentioning that I respect them.

My personality

My personality closer to my mom and dad. Children usually have the qualities of their parents. In my case, It is not the more. My parents are attractive and humorous, so my sisters and brother were brought up in comfortable circumstances under the protection of our parents. My parents exercised great influence on me, therefore it is all natural that my personality is closer to my parents' one.

My Name........My Family.....

Korean people put our family name first and use the fixed name. From my family and my generation, "YOUNG" is fixed name. My sibling's names are "YOUNG-SUK", "YOUNG-HEE". As you know, My name is "YOUNG-A". My family name is "KANG". This letter-KANG- means healthy and comfortable life, so my family precept is "Be Healthy". Healthy life is very important to me and my family so that there are many our healthy rules: getting up early, to exercise regullary, avoiding too salty and spicy food, and going to bed early.

As our concerning about health, we occasionally had excercises together such as walking, jogging, badminton, and tennis. Our the most favorite excercise is playing tennis. My husband also a good sportman. He was particpated in the Ironman Triathlon regullary. He is really working pretty hard but also trains his body through exercise of each other every day. He want to participate in the Triathlon with me, but it is overdoing to me yet. Anyway, Do you like any exercising? I hope that you are going to do something for your healthy life!!!

About learning style

I think that it's important to know about learning styles. First the person has to know self styles. What style is good for me? What do I like? After that I have to look for the other styles and try them. For me I like to work or to learn by myself, but I think that is not enough. Working with a group help too and sometimes it is much better. I think that the person has to know about all the styles and try to practice them because the person will need them. Learning by listening is good but you have to read and learn by reading too. If you have just one way to learn, like working in a group, sometimes this group can't give anything because they want to learn from you. In this case you have to practice another style.
