Many Korean men enjoy sports, especially soccer. The men’s soccer team is popular and influential. Soccer players like Park Ji-sung have become super stars in Korea. However, the women’s soccer team doesn’t get fans’ interest. Many female soccer players play soccer in a bad environment. However, the Korean women’s soccer team made a miracle. The press highly praised the young women who won the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Many netizens wrote good comments about them because women’s soccer was an unpopular sport, and they practiced in a poor environment without the public’s attention. However,
Now that it is the Halloween season, it’s natural to start thinking about scary things, but it’s also easy to forget that some things aren’t scary anymore, even though they used to be very frightening when we were younger. For young children, a bicycle can be a very frightening thing: they very much want to learn how to ride it, they know it’s important to learn how to ride it, but they are naturally afraid to try. For this article, however, the bicycle is only a metaphor. The real topic of this article is the Korean students who are afraid to have conversations in English with foreigners.I us
In 2009, an article written by a professor titled “You Have No Hope” was printed in the University newspaper. He discussed the so-called “20s gaesaekkiron,” who are Korean twenty somethings who do not have passion and are not capable. In the wake of this extreme article, many controversial debates followed. This article was a criticism of Korean twentysomethings who have been indifferent to Korean issues and focused on building “specs.” It received bitter criticism for concealing the real situation of young people experiencing great challenges finding a job and the worst unemployment.

Nowadays, many Internet users buy merchandise on Internet shopping malls. They say hello to friends through social networks like Twitter or Facebook. They also collect materials they need on the Internet instead of going to a library. Like this, the Internet makes us more comfortable and lots of things are being done on the Internet. Recently, we can file a suit on the Internet.A lawsuit is a procedure through which a person or company takes problems or conflicts to a court of law to be settled. The Electronic Case Filing System (ECFS), introduced on April 26, 2010, is a system for people to s
“In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks,” mused John Muir, a Scottish-born American naturalist. Until recently, the closest I had ever come to South Korea’s “nature,” and its seemingly innumerable array of mountains, was from the comfort of my home. I would gaze upon the jagged peaks of Palgong Mountain from my window on a sun-kissed Sunday afternoon, contemplating their vastness and the sweat and toil of the many eager hikers determined to scale them. “Sunday is a day of rest”; softly sighing this old adage to myself, I would settle down to yet another lazy Sabbath day upon
Do you remember the red waves made by the Red Devils at the Korea/Japan 2002 FIFA World Cup? I can’t believe it’s been 8 years already and the South Africa 2010 World Cup is only days away. The Red Devils are the official Korean national soccer team supporters. They started as an online club in 1995. They were active in earnest in the France 1998 World Cup and became known to everybody at the Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup. The Red Devils got the name when the foreign press called the red uniformed Korean team “Red Furies” at the Mexico 1983 World Youth Championship, where the Korean team advanced
The purpose of this system is to develop teachers’ teaching ability and methods. Students, parents, and fellow teachers evaluate the teacher’s overall educational activities.

The system has been in operation in all elementary, middle, and high schools since March 2010.ProA teacher evaluation system started at all elementary, middle, and high schools in March this year, but the issue remains hotly in dispute.

In the global era, multinational corporations have a great effect on the global economy. Toyota, the Japanese automobile company that had been leading the global automobile market, is losing its fame and rating because of defective products and suspicious concealment of flaws. We look into the whole story of the Toyota recall and find some lessons from it. Toyota, the world’s largest car company which has grown rapidly over the last 10 years, recalled about 10 million or more cars. In February 2010, the number of recalled cars, in only the United States, was 7.6 million or more, and the number
