“I watched animation when I was young. Today, Korean children play computer games with American children on the Internet. That was surprising because I didn’t think that Korean and American children could play computer games together.” Mr. Kim has gone to Chicago to work for six months. He needs to return to Seoul by tomorrow for a conference with his boss about a new business program, but the departure time of his flight has been delayed for a day due to bad weather in the Chicago area. He needs an alternative plan. He takes his cell phone out of his pocket and calls his boss. After a short d
I love hearing about success stories. How did Richard Branson earn his first million? How did Steven Spielberg come to make movies? How did the Beatles first meet? We can’t all be as successful as the likes of them, of course, but no matter what our interests, hopes, and dreams are, we can all gain inspiration from not just the successes of others, but also from the mistakes they learnt from and the set-backs that didn’t set them back.It’s hard to believe it’s only been ten years since the first Harry Potter book was published. From obscurity and financial insecurity to a fortune eclipsing the
These days, it is very easy to find friends using Cyworld’s mini-homepage or Naver’s blog. Many people, including me, write their diaries and put photos on a mini-homepage or blog almost every day. They can communicate with their friends through these contents. However, many people just use a mini-homepage or blog as a means to communicate with their friends or for fun or to kill time. Do you know blogs and blogs’ surprising functions?Blog is a compound word of “web” and “log.” This word was first used in America in 1997. Ordinary people not only upload their diaries, columns, and articles but
Q. Please tell me your business and office hours?My office hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. I control the traffic until 9:30 a.m. When I don't have any other special business, I go and report to the fare adjustment office. I am responsible for my office, the front gate, the east gate, and Keimyung College. I try to listen to students' dissatisfaction, and I try to praise people and listen to their concerns. Q. Could you please tell us about the characteristic of the job?I've been working for about 8 years. I think my main work is public relations. The main thing is greeting. A hearty greeting i
My decision had been made. It was the late, crisp autumn of 2001. Two heavy suitcases glared at me from the dim light of the hallway. The tags attached to them, small white pockets of truth set against an apathetic dark mass, contained the following inscription: STEPHEN McGUCKIN; DESTINATION: SOUTH KOREA.These very words filled me with an uncanny feeling of excitement and fear, a feeling best described as the sensation of some unseen anchor tugging firmly upon the sinews of my heart, making breathing a slow, labored process. Indeed, my decision had been made. Deep breath. For the next year, my
Recently, I saw the movie Babel again. I experienced a world in which people can’t communicate when I saw Babel. Babel describes a clash of people who live in different worlds. The director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu focuses on a sense of alienation among people in America, Mexico, Morocco, and Japan. Babel has four stories: the story of an American married couple who lose their third baby, Moroccan children who are misunderstood as terrorists, a Japanese father and his daughter who is a deaf-mute, and a Mexican woman who slips across the American border. These people face serious problems. A
