7.27(Sat) : Diary

Today was saturday!! Though it didn't seem real due to the tight schedule. We had a history presentation. I was doing on the topic of Perseus. I had 2 main points I had focused on. There were the 2 occurencs which were the event of Medusa and rescuing Andromeda. I talked about that Perseus was a demi-god who was able to become known as a hero by gods' help. Without the shield that was given by Athena and the sword, he wouldn't be able to kill Medusa and the sea monster. My teachere and friends made comments on me. Some said my speech was kind of fast, but very clear. They said I didn't use the primary sources. They pointed out my weakness and I thought that I should try to improve them. We did the 'English Pop Song Contest' for about 1 hour and an half. We did 'Viva La Vida' and we actually turned out to fail in presenting. There were many problems. Such as, that the sod was too sad and boring. Everybody didn't know the sond and couldn't participate. We should have rather done 'Upside Down, What makes you beautiful , One way or another, We will rock you' which are way more better. I had many complicated feelings after this contest and we should make good decisions.

6th post: Photo Essay

Introduction
I've got to go to the 20th GLPS summer camp during the vacation. I was very excited and kind of worried. I want to use this time very usefully for my development. I hope I will enjoy it and have some fun as the last camp I'll be able to go until I'm 20 years old.






First Picture : Bus
Firstly, I took a bus to come to the GLPS camp. It took about 2 hours to come to KMLA. I  listened to music and made phone calls to my parents. I was
very happy and very excited about the program.






Second Picture: Dormitory

The dormitory has 12 floors. I've got to stay in the 8th floor room number 7. There were 6 friends in two rooms. The bed was above the desk. There were staircases as well. I felt kind of awkward because it wasn't my home. I felt weird about it, though soon I adapted to the environment.


Third Picture : Cafeteria
The cafeteria was quite big. We've got to get our food like a buffet. We were able to get as much food as I wanted. There were a variety of menus such as spaghetti, seafood, salad, and many others. I think I'm becoming healthier due to not eating snacks that I usually eat at home.




Fourth Picture: Friends



I made 3 friends that are very close to me. They are Su-yeon, Su-Gyeong, and Sung-Eun. Two of them are in my room and the other one is in my class. I think they are very kind and nice. I think they are friends that had  been friends for 10 years. They are thoughtful and wise.



Fifth Picture: Hills

There are steep hills in KMLA. I had a hard time becoming familiar with them. I always get tired and my legs trembled. It seemed that the hill would never end. I think I'm losing weight due to the hills. I hope I'll have lost 3kg after this camp.

                                                                                           

Sixth Picture : Rain


It rained cats and dogs during the first week. It was very humid and sticky. My socks were always wet and I felt very dirty. I intend to take a shower more frequently now.




Seventh Picture: Mock Trial

My favorite subject in the GLPS camp is Mock Trial. It is a form of debate. We have the Crown and the Defense. There are witnesses and the accused. There are some roles that everybody can participate in. It is very fun competing with each other and stating strong arguments.




Conclusion
I am having a lot of experiences in the GLPS camp. It is quite enjoyable and I'm having a good time.I hope there will be good result in my speech and mock trial contest! I also hope this camp will be a god motive for me to flourish and attend good a high school.

5th post : Persuasive Writing

Jang Yea Won
South Korea
2013/08/06
Dear my mother,
I am writing this letter because I believe you should buy me a smartphone.

Many experts like Steve Jobs, for example agree with me. I will explain reasons for this and give facts to support my opinion.

The first reason is because I can communicate with others easily. There are statistics to show this is true. According to , 41-Yes smatphone(click here), communication can be made quickly through email and instant messaging and chat.

The second reason is because smartphones keep me organized. There are facts to show this is true. It has been discovered that smartphones have a of functions like monitor appointments and set reminders according to is4profit (click here).

The final reason is because smartphones help me with studying. There is data to show this is true. It is now known by the article 'Could smart phones help students learn in high school?' which states that students learn in high school?' (click here)which states that students should participate in smart phones to increase efficiency.

Based on my arguments, I hope you will consider my point of view and buy me a smart phone for these reasons.

Sincerely,
Jang Yea Won

4th post : Creative Writing

         It was just a plain day like the others. It was very mild and Ashley prepared to go to her new job. She did her same routine and went out of the door of her house. Ashley was very satisfied because she got to have a job that she really wanted and which was a hair designer. She prepared for four years by doing part -time job like working in convenience store and rough work. She felt a lot of confidence in herself. When she arrived at the hair company S, she was pretty nervous, though she took a deep breath. She headed to the hall and saw many famous hair designers. Then, Ashley suddenly stopped for a moment and stared while a bunch of thoughts grazed through her head. She actually run against with a man who looked very familiar and similar to someone. Ashley just passed without another glimpse. When she entered her room that she'll be working in for five years. She was a bit nervous and also happy that she had her own room now. She had a co-worker who'll she be working with and he was that same man she met in the hall. She was very surprised because once agin thought he was very familiar to her. Ashley made greetings with the others and now, it was his turn. Ashley said, "Hi, My name is Ashley Lee and nice to meet you!" The man said "Hello, my name is Joseph Lee and nice to meet you,too!" Ashley felt awkward because they had the same sir naems. Ashley did an orientation and Joseph also got to do it, too. After the orientation, Ashley said goodbye to Joseph. Then, a thought grazed Ashley's mind.

7.26(Fri) : Diary

Today, was the Mock Trial! I was very nervous, but somehow feeling comfortable because witnesses didn't have a lot of work to do. The lawyers should match the time adn make up more questions. It is actually a very tough job. Witnesses just needed to answer the questions and it was pretty simple. The result, or, the outchome was our team losing. It was too obvious in my thoughts, because we had a lot of weakness that we needed to improve. There were mainly 2 of them. First, the lawyers didn't act ery well. It felt like something is kind of missing, the strategies were too weak, we didn't prove Mrs. Johnson's innocence in a clear way. We had only one evidence as well. Also, the cross-examination was too weak. The lawyer didn't ask questions that made actual sense and kept making opinions about the case. So, I was very worried. Of course, there were about total 10 objections from the Crown side. It was pretty obvious. I wanted to act out as the cross-exam lawyer because it would be fun making rebuttal. I have confidence to point out the weakness of the other side as well. I will try harder at the next trial.
