impressive images to me

 These 5 pictures I'm posting is pictures that really inspire me.

In other word, it is really meaningful to me.

 1. Picture of Se-wol ship.
  Recently, there was a tragedy happened in Korea. That is Se-wol ship has been shipwrecked and many students and other people could not escape from it. It was real tragic. I really feel sorry for them. that's why I chose this pictur.
 2 Top's young age.
  Guess who this picture shows. It is Top, Korean idol hip-hop group Big Bang's rapper. He is known as sexiest and coolest idol, but he had this fatty times. He was rejected by YG ent. because he was fat, but he managed to lose weighet in just 3month of time. He is really my role model.
 3. Red devils
  Every worldcup, people wear red clothes and claim themselves as Red devils. I wore red clothes and cheerd for soccer team. It was really good experiment in my early age.
 4. Cha-boom
 When people think of famous soccer player abroad, they say Park Ji-sung or Park Ju-young, etc. But in 1980s Cha Bumgeun was legend soccer player. He played in german league and made unbeatable record as a forein soccer player. He was selected as best asian player and best 4 player chosen by France magazine. Also, he did only one foul in ten years I really respect him not only for his talent but also his attitude.

 



5 Grand Canyon
  I lived in USA when I was young. So I had chance to go to Grand Canyon. When I first saw that, II was really humble about myself facing Grand canyon.  Every time if see Grand canyon's photo, I really feel the greatness of mother nature and be deeply appreciate it

Sending your children to academies is good.

Nowadays a lot of parents are sending their children to afterschool academies. It is especially hot potato in Korea, since in Korea there are lots of academies. According to Korea National Statistical office’s statistic at 2011, more than 80% of children in KyungKi-do went to afterschool academies. It is result of certain region, but in other regions proportion would come out similar as well. (Link1)

         Afterschool academies have many good aspects, but on the other hands, it also has bad aspects. Some people say sending their children to academy is good, and some people say bad.
   
         People who are with sending children suggest that send their children to academies have positive effects. First of all, children can get education of higher quality. Some of famous academies have great teachers with great career. They even have teachers who made the Suneung( the biggest test of all). So with help of great teachers they are sure to improve.
         
          Secondly they can have place to study. When it is hard to study in home, children have place to study. There is even academies specialized in study rooms and group study like the picture.

Lastly, academies teach children according to their grades. So child who is better can improve their knowledge. Also children who are inferior in class can catch up with help of academies.

On the other hand, people who are against academies claims that sending their children to an academy can cause many problems. First of all, Academies can make children do not participate in school. Because many academies in Korea tend to teach children not only their own age’s stuff, but also the upper grade’s stuff as well. If someone is in middle school, but already learning stuff of high school, then he might get bored when he enters the high school. Since all the things teaching in there is already taught by academies. So there is even needs for law to stop early learning (Link2 according to 8th it is forbidden to study early)

Unfairness could be problem, too. Actually the fee for academies is quite expensive. So people who are very poor can’t afford money to go to academies. It is really unfair since rich people can attend as many academies as they want and get great education. But on the other hands poor people can’t get education compared to them, so they have higher chance of being inferior to them.

Another problem is that concentration to English, language, math. Parents tend to send their children to just academic ones. Ones that teach stuff that helps children to go to University. So children don’t get chance to play with their friends and can’t get developed in field like art, or music.
(It is pictures of empty playground. No one plays there because of academies)



For conclusion, I think going to academies is much better. I think positive effects of it overcome the negative. Especially getting education according to grade is really helpful. Few years ago, I was really doing well in high school. When I go to class in school I get easily bored because teachers keep teaching same thing over and over for children who didn’t get good grade. So It wasn’t good environment for me. But When I went to academies children who I had class with were just as good as myself so we could study efficiently. 

I think that academies can have better teachers. I don’t mean that not all teachers in school are inferior, but there can be a possibility. When I was 11th grader my math teacher in school was a unexperienced freshman who just graduated from school. So in fact, she didn’t teach well. But my academy teacher was really great. It can’t be general idea, but just saying that there can be a chance. 

Also academies provides educational videos and fun techniques to study. So I recommend sending your children to academies for better education
( It is very fun video but it actually teaches how to memorize historical event easily)

My Personal Best Korean Ramyun(Ramen)

My Best Ramyuns



This time I'm going to introduce my Favorite ramyuns.

They are special in there own different ways, so If you can I recommend you to try all of these.

#1 Bul-dak Bokkummyun (hot chicken fried noodles)


It is Bul-dak bokkummyun. It is very spicy one. Also it has no soup. Perhaps it's most spicy Ramyun in korea. It is known to have a chicken flavor little bit, but actually no one feels that. Still it is very delicious and ranked first place of my personal best.

Taste : ★ (very delicious)
Spicy : ★(extremely hot)


#2  Shin ramyun (spicy ramyun)


I ranked this second because it is the one that I eat most. #1 ramyun does not have soup so I eat this usually. It is not spicy as #1 but it is little bit hotter than the average. 

Taste : (delicious)
Spicy : ( little bit hot)


#3 Chamgae ramyun (sesame ramyun)

 

Chamgae ramyun is ranked third. it is special because it has pepper oil and  dehydrated egg block. so it is very rich in taste than others, but egg absorbs the spice so it's not that hot.

Taste : ★(delicious)
Spicy : ★(not hot)

#4 Jjapaghetti

It is different with usual ramyun. Actually it is JaJangmyun(greasy black noodle). so it is not spicy. it has olive oil to put, so sauce can be easily mixed with noodle. It's sauce is dehydrated so it need little water unlike #1(It can be done with only sauce itself)

Taste : ★(delicious)
Spicy : ☆(greasy)




Enjoy delicious ramens.
