[Post 6] What was my childhood dream.

When I was in my childhood, I liked to experiment scientific matters. I was usually anxious about natural phenomenon, so I got used to ask something to my mother, and even more, I would like to verify about my curiosity. For example, when I learned that I can kindle a fire with a magnifying glass, I did an experiment about that. For those, I believed that I am interested in science, and I would like to be a scientist. However, since I learned science subject, I recognized that I am not able to be a scientist with only my interests in experiment. I had low grade on all of science subjects, so I quickly noticed that science field is not for me. As I grew older, I have had pretty much interests in arts, but I am not good at drawing. So when I seriously considered about my future job, I notice that creating ideas or marketing field is going to be good to me. Therefore, I decided my major to marketing, and I would like to be a marketer in an advertisement agency.

[Post 4] I love shopping!!

I love shopping, and especially, I love to buy clothes, shoes, and accessorises. However, since I came to Montgomery, I could not find and buy what I exactly want to get. So, I have had more interests in online shopping than regular shopping. Moreover, online shopping allows me to save a lot of time and trouble. I don’t need to go to the store far away. All I need is just access to the computer and several clicks of a mouse to shop. Nothing is easier than online shopping. And I can compare all the shops and prices in a very short time, and decide the item that perfectly fits my desire. And I don’t need to carry them home myself, since they deliver the things to buyer’s home.Those benefits make me an online shopper-holic.

[Post 3]Where I live..

Have you ever lived another country than your home country? I have lived in Montgomery for about one and a half year. The only thing what made me to be here was my father's job, so I and my parents came to the United States. And my two sisters now live in Korea, which is my home country, because of their jobs. I have experienced many different things from language to culture.
At first, I assume that people, who have never lived in a different language country, may not imagine how difficult it is. Communicating with foreign people made me nervous when I first came to the United States. For example, I was always worried about what if I cannot understand others’ speaking. For this reason, I sometimes have problem in making friends, but Korean friends.
Furthermore, another differences living in Montgomery is the transportations. I have to drive after the next day that I arrived here, and there is no sidewalk to walk. When I was in Korea, there are lots of public transportations which include subway, bus, and express-train. So, I do not need to drive, and I usually walk in short distance which is good for my health.
Although living in Montgomery sometimes makes me having problems, I broaden my understanding different culture and languages.

[Post 2] Enough time..

I have lived in the U.S.A for about one and a half years, and I have experienced and learned many things. However, one of the important things that I learned is constant check when I am doing an important task. Nowadays, I am planning to transfer to another university, so I need to check such as which documents I should have, when is the deadline, and so on. And by preparing those necessary documents, I recognize that whole documents should be arrived a lot earlier than the deadline, because there sometimes may have problem in delivering. For example, when I sent documents by mailing, I got a call from one of the university faculties that two of my documents were not delivered. I enclosed seven documents in one envelop, however, two of them were missing. After I noticed that, I re-send documents, however, I believe that if there is not enough time, I could not make it. Therefore, I have in mind that when I do something important, there should be enough time and accurate information.

[Post 1]What is academic writing?

As I am an international student, learning english is interesting to me, and I learned pretty much from the reading, "What is academic writing?". When I was reading this essay, I was surprised some parts of the myth of writing, which is especially about the five paragraph essay. She emphasizes that students do not neet to write five paragraph essay everytime. When I was preparing to transfer to the U.S.A university, I should have my Toefl score. So when I had studied the wirting parts for the test, I was learned that an essay should be five paragraph to get a good grade. Therefore, I was trained to use the five paragraph format for every single essay. Now, I may get more flexibilities in terms of writing an academic essay. I will keep the standard rule, five paragraph essay, however, I might use a format which has four or six  paragraph essay from time to time.
