Week 10 Homework

On the blog. How could Chongshin University or the students be kinder to the environment? Write a report with your ideas. If you do research, quote with quotation marks or paraphrase your source. Tell where the information comes from and provide a link back to the original source.



The environmental damage is serious today. Most of the natural disasters occur because of environmental pollutions too. I believe as we are the stewards of God, we are very responsible for protecting our nature, God's creation, in order to respose to God's command. If we start to practice small environmental exercises personally, things will start to change soon.

There are actually many things that we can simply do to prevent environment pollution in our daily life basis. Following are the lists of things we can start practicing today.
 
1. Reduce use of disposable products (cups, chopsticks, dishs, spoons etc.)
2. Reduce trash and saparate them for recycling
3. Hand down old clothes from one child to the next
4. Do shopping when we are not hungry (if when we are hungry, we buy more food and there are more chance of food garbage)
5. Walk instead of driving in a short distance
6. Share rides or take public transportations
7. Do not change mobile phones so often (frequent change of mobile phones cause serious problems in Africa!! Caltan.. human rights.. etc.)
8. Read books or watch documentaries or do something to discover the beauty of nature
9. Do not overuse cosmetics (They are bad for our facial skin anyway)
10. Study basic environmental rules
11. Keep indoor temperature adaquately
12. Reuse papers, water(at home-bath water..), paper bags etc.
13. Travel slowly by a boat once intead of going by an airplane so easily (It costs less money too)

Most importantly,

200+ words about one of your other classes

Optional extra credit: On your blog, write 200+ words about one of your other classes. What is the most interesting thing you have learned in that class this semester?

I did teacher training this semester at Sung Ji high school. 4 weeks of this training taught me many lessons. Above all, I learned about the qualities of being a good teacher.
  I learned that the most important characteristics that make up a good teacher is willingness to corporate and communicate well with the students. To be honest, communicating well with the students was the not easy. Most of the time, I didn't really know what to say. I think I spent more time thinking than communicating. When I was teaching in the class, giving clear instructions is very important, but to do so, I had to think and prepare a lot more than I thought. I learned that a good communication skill will allow teacher to be able to command and teach students a lot more effectively. If I could successfully make a student understand difficult concepts through discussion and demonstration, the job would have been a lot easier.
   Anyways, this experience inpired me a lot of being a teacher. And I am very thankful to God for that.
