About Me

✈Hi, everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Youn-ah Kim. I'm 20 years old. I was born in Suwon in June 23 and for childhood I lived there but I have lived in In-cheon since 1997. I can't remember accurately my childhood. But my mom says that I was a unfearing girl because I collected a lot of insects and observed that. Also I was a very active girl, because I played out of door till evening. This characters are being continued right up unill now.

✈In my family there are four members . Father, mother, younger brother and me. My father always helps and supports me whenever I am in adversities. My mother They are wonderful and devoted parents. My brother is 18 years old and he is being in Song-do highschool. Sometimes I fight with him, but we talk together whenever we are in trouble. We are the best friends. 

✈I'm very surprised that ENFP and my personality is completely same! ENFP is ' enthusiastic, high spirited and ect.. I usually decide on impulse and act impulsively without a plan. Even though I took a long time to make plans, many plans is useless. And I can't continue doing something for a ling time, so I usually can't finish that and do something new.

My character most important is an outgoing personality. I like to meet many friends and to talk together. When I talk with friends about many trivial things, we are unaware of the time. Associating with many new people makes me become heightened in spirits. It is influenced by my sociable parents and crowded home with a lots of guests.

✈I'm not good at English but I like English and studying English is very fun. I'm proud of my university and my major. My dream is a English teacher. When I was young, I didn't want to be a English teacher because I have a many dreams I want to be. However, while studying English at high school, I met passionate English teacher who changed my awareness of English and made me learn English playfully . I realized that studying and teaching English subject can be very joyful. So I set entering to be English education Department. As a result, I entered English education Department of Chung-Ang University with dream. I want to be a 'indeed' teacher who is respected and loved by students.

✈Thanks for listening :)

Journal Topic of Week 4

Stundents these days tend to really care their English teacher's pronunciation. They seem to believe that English teachers should pronounce just like a native speakers of English. What do you think about this belief? How would you react to this attitude (belief)?

I met many English teachers in schools or a lot of English academies. The best English teacher who helps me improve my English skills greatly didn’t have a good pronunciation. But he can teach properly and most impassionedly. Also I and many his students didn’t care his pronunciation and concentrated his teaching a lot of English skills. Maybe some teachers, who have good English pronunciation, of course, can help students have better pronunciation than other teachers. But I think the most important and the most essential purpose of learning English is a communication, not having only good pronunciations and accents.

In my opinion, the most essential goal of learning English is not having native pronunciation. Learning English practical basic skills such as reading, listening, writing and speaking is more important than just having native accent. So I think in Korea many English teachers should try not only to have a good pronunciation but also to have English basic skills.

As a result they try to have many basic of English and practice to pronounce correctly and fluently though not a native speakers.

☞ENFP

Warmly enthusiastic, high spirited, ingenious, imaginative. Able to do almost anything that interests them. Quick with a solution for any difficulty and ready to help anyone with a problem. Often rely on their ability to improvise instead of preparing in advance. Can usually find compelling reasons for whatever they want.

 

I'm very surprised that ENFP and my personality is completely same! fully same!

 I usually decide on impulse and act impulsively without a plan also though I took a long time to make a lots of plans, many plans is  useless. And I can't continue doing something for a ling time, so I usually can't finish that and do something new.

 I have an acute sense about a relationship or psychology. So I am slippy and quick-witted. Also I can catch their thought by observing their expression. So my nick name, Sherlock Homes proves that I'm intuitive.

 My character most important is an outgoing and extrovertish personality. I like to meet many acquaintances and friends and to talk together. When I talk with friends about many trivial things, we are unaware of the time. Also I approach other people before they do. Associating with many new people makes me become heightened in spirits. It is influenced by my sociable parents and crowded home with a lots of guests

 Next, I take the initiative. When I start something, I take action for myself earlier than any other. For 9 years, I served as the president or a vice president of my class. So I am used to leading the friends. I like more leading someone than following someone.

This activities makes me rethink my personalities. Also I can grasp my pros and cons. Some characters is needed to change for my better life, So I have to try to correct my shortcomings such as an explosive temperament, not finishing the works and ect. Also, I have to improve my good virtues .

The real friendship

These days i often think about my old high school life, which was an amazing time for me. It is true that it was also the hardest time of my life, how i had to study alot, everyday, 24/7. But now i realize that how great and lucky it was for me to go through those times with my good friends. All of us had hard times studying, putting all our efforts in and deciding what university to go. However, we also had such good times that i'll never be able to forget. Eating lunch together, going to library together, sharing informations or sometimes fighting over something really small. But all of these added up to make us tight enough that i still miss them so much untill now. It's true that i am having so much fun in new school, involving with new activities that i've never done before, with my new friends. And sometimes i am only concentrated in the new life style of mine and forget about my old, but who are the people that i go to when i get hurt or exhausted from my life? They are my high school friends, because i know that they will be always there for me and back me up whenever i need their help. Its somehow really funny that we don't even need to talk to each other everyday but we all know that everything is going well and fine. I think this is what its called "The real friendship". You don't need to say a word but they'll alredy know everything. Hopefully i can contact all my high school friends untill when i am thirty or fourty OR maybe till hundred :) I miss you all, and love you guys!
