What do you want most in a friend: someone who is intelligent, someone who has a sense of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice.
To begin with, as I grow older and older I began to realize that friends are so important in my life.
I thought I am not a person who get affected so much by friends, but I think I was wrong. I have always been stronly influenced by people around me.
I like to be around people who has a sterling sense of humor and this is what I want most in a friend as well. A sense of humor is very important because it not only gives energy to people but also motivates people effectively. This is really interesting that whenever I meet one of my friend who has a sense of humor, somehow I get so much inspired of the works that I would struggle at each time. And I get so many ideas from her even though she didn't speak a word about what I was struggling with. And I like that very much. Also, I think people who has a sense of humor generally are very intelligent and reliable too. People who are intelligent or reliable are not always humorous, but people who has a sense of humor are usually smart. So I love friends who has a sense of humor and I, myself would love to be a person with a sense of humor who can make people around me amused all the time the rest of my life.

200-300 word essay about 2 different ways of learning life
2. On the blog, answer the following question in a 200-300 word essay:
Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family or friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.
Throughout our lives we are offered countless pieces of advice to help us achieve our goals and create a positive future. But sometimes we learn life through personal experiences far much better. Overall, the most effective method of learning life is to listen to the people around you first and then experience by yourself afterwards.
To start with, a good advice is very helpful for our lives by reducing the chances of wasted time and money. And good advice gives us insights and wider perspectives. If we listen to the advice of family or friends, it is likely that we will have missed any important steps to achieving our goals. For instance, when I was young, my sister went abroad to study when she was 17. And when she came back to Korea after one year, she strongly persuaded me to go overseas too. I listened to her and agreed that studying abroad will provide me powerful experiences. So I followed her. And I have never regretted once of that decision since now. However, I was pleased with my time abroad because I have also experienced and learn many things by myself after when I listened to my sister's advice. Nothing is more powerful than personal experience. It is same in dating too. It is helpful to listen to the advice about dating, but I have no idea how the guy is like, or who I go along well with unless I have personal experiences.
In conclusion, I think it is good to balance both. Experiencing personally after listening to the advice is the best way to learn life and ensure a good future.

Pride and Prejudice
Write 200+ words about a book that you have read, a film or TV program that you have seen, or a song that you like. Tell why you like it.
I finally watched a movie, "Pride and Prejudice" the other day at home. I have wondered about this movie so much because I have watched "Becoming Jane" a long time ago, which represents a life story of Jane Austen, the author of "Pride and Prejudice". So I watched with great expectations and it didn't let me down! The background was beautiful, the music was great and the acting skills of every actors and actresses were so good. When I watched the movie, I enjoyed the cultures of that period of time very much too. I think the courtesy and the manners in that period of time is very impressive. It is very interesting to find the differences between asian cultures and western cultures in the same period of time. Since this novel was written in 1796, it was the Chosun Dynasty period in Korea. Everything is different including fashion, architecture, and daily courtesy. As a result, it is because of the different world view they had. I think also it's so amazing that she Jane was only 21 when she wrote this novel which later bacame Pride and Prejudice. Later in summer vacation, I want to watch other movies which are based on similar time period.
This is one of my favorite lines in this movie.
“‘I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.’”

summary of the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM)
Christian music has been changing enormously from late 1960s. At that time, pipe organs have been used but now electric guitars and drums are set aside. We don't sings hyms as much as before but now we sing hard hitting contemporary chritian music. This type of music include various styles like rock, metal, rap, country and pop. This type of music also involves video shows, radio stations, and awards. The debate over whether it's good or bad has been a hot issue for a long time.
