The Topic of this Week (Journal):


What is your study goal? for this year? Is English a part of your goal? What do you plan to achieve your goal? Tell us about your dream. What do you hope to do 10 years later?

I have a lots of my study goals for this year. I want to do these things impassionedly.


First, I have to read many books, newspapers and read editorials about varied field. When I was a high school student, I had no time to read many wrings, because I took a long time to study for entering University. But now I have a lot of time I can take to read something. These days, in bus and subway to go school, I read many books or newspapers.

Second, I want to improve my English skills. There are a lot of reasons I have to study. When I finish a midterm exam, I plan to give many private lessons or to teach many students in English private educational institutes. And I want to get a good grade at TOFLE to go abroad for studying. Also I want to catch up others in my department whose English skills are so good and who are like native speakers or really are native speakers. Most important reason is for my future. There are many time to need English skills, e.g., to enter the offices, to pass many tests or to communicate with foreigners. So everyday morning in subway or bus to go school, I listen radio ‘Good Morning Pops’ that has many English contents and read CAU HERALD, a English journal published in CAU. I do my best for study listening, reading, speaking and writing English!

My study goal of English is making me freely communicate using only English. Now I feel many burdens to learn English with many good-English-skills or friends using English like a native speaker. And many activities or assignments that have to be completed by English are so hard to me and are need much time to complete. Specially speaking and writing English make me crazy. Those are unfamiliar to me. Because when I was a middle school or high school student, there was a little time to learn speaking and writing English. So I think education in Korea is changed more various about a way to teach English.
