What is your Travel Type?

 

         

             Truman left his village for Fiji to meet his ex-girlfriend in "The Truman Show (1998)". In "Home Alone2 (1992)", Kevin took the wrong airplane and arrived in New York. And Funny things which he has never done before happened to him there. Like what Truman and Kevin experienced, traveling during vacation can be a good chance for you to have special memories in your life. First of all, you should think about what type of trip you prefer before leaving on a trip. There are several types of vacation trip according to the purpose for the trip.

             The fist type of trip is involved in someone who wants to take a rest. Do you think that the reason for a trip is to relax with a cup of coffee and music? If you do, you are of this type. You may prefer staying in one place for very long to going around, and taking a look at yourself to meeting new people. You need some places which have calm and peaceful atmosphere. For example, Ko Samui, Thailand, is one of the most appropriate places to take a rest. The natural environment is preserved as it is. Therefore, visitors can enjoy clean sea which is so clear that they can see the sand on the bottom.

             Another type is an adventurous trip. Some people want to go where everything is different from what they are used to. In addition, they prefer some places which most people do not visit yet or even mind visiting, because there is little information on their destination. This type of people may say, "If your feet are not perspiring, your trip is not perfect." For people who aspire to be of this type, Tibet is one of the best countries as the first to travel. It will be unforgettable memory to live with nomads, milking and shearing the sheep.

             The last type is about people who hope to enjoy urban cultures. Most people of this type hope to blend in with citizens living there. Also, they are busy looking around from museums, galleries to fancy restaurants. Suppose someone of this type goes to Bangkok. She reserves Bangkok Oriental Hotel which attracts millionaires and celebrities from all over the world. After that, she goes to Bangkok National Museum to learn about the Thai royal cultures. At night, she enjoys having a cocktail, admiring the scenery of Chao Phraya River where many people go aboard a cruise to see many Thai floating houses.

             There are three types of trip such as 'rest' type, 'adventure' type and 'urban culture' type. Although every types of trip can bring a refreshing and new experience, but you need to know what type you are of. This is because each type has different demerits in its own way. So find if you are 'rest', 'adventure' or 'urban culture', and you will be able to minimize weaknesses of each type of trip.

Few options decide your vacation

 

 Vacation always makes people excited. Get out of the stuffy downtown and traveling in nature refreshes us. But Korea students can't enjoy their vacation well. They are always chased by studying and most of the time experience financial problems. So most of people can't realize their plans for vacation. In this writing, I want to talk about some options that are needed for vacation and categorize them.

 

 First, people have to make sure their time for travel. After making promise with friends and then we can make sure the other plan. We can travel in weekdays or weekends. If we chose weekdays, most of other people have to work in that day so we can enjoy leisurely travel. Also traffic might be cool. But travel in weekdays is difficult because we have to work or study in that day like others. In some case, the vacation is cancelled because of emergency situation in school or workplace. In contrast, traveling in weekends will be good for making promise but traffic condition must be bad and so many people are in vacation spots.

 

 Next thing is place. Korea is very small country but has many mountains and beaches. Mountain is one of the most popular places for vacation because there are many mountains near the city. It's good for short trip. But many people think beaches are better than mountains since most of them can't see beaches during their daily life. Other attractions of sea are sea breeze, wild beaches, surfing and swimming. In summer time, however beaches will be so crowded.

 

 Last thing is transportations. Your choice about transportations can have a great effects on your financial and time plan. If you choose public transportations, you can save money and it could be faster than your own car when the traffic is terrible. But in some time people spend their time for waiting their bus or train under the sunshine and it makes people so tired. When you use your own car you will feel comfortable and calm. Though if traffic is heavy, you will spend your time on the highway.

 

 Vacations can be tonic in our life but many people spend their money and time with more stresses. It's because they didn't plan well. As I said, If we make a good choice in many options like weekdays or weekends, mountains or beaches, public transportations or car, we can enjoy beautiful vacation without waste of time and money.

Huiyeong Kim - A five-paragraph classification essay about abilities you possess for your potential career

201181021 Huiyeong Kim Intermediate English Writing 1   I Have a Dream   People have dreamed about their future from the time when they were young. Someone wants to be a doctor, designer, lawyer, writer or nurse. When I was young, I also wanted to be a doctor to cure diseases or be a president to govern Korea. Then as I get older, I always have a goal, an interpreter. Especially, I want to work for U.N. or the international conferences. Because the more I study English, the more it fascinated me. Nowadays, I am confused whether or not I can do it, but I have several abilities for an interpreter.                First of all, English will help me to be an interpreter. To interpret something, language is basically essential. After the United States became the superpower, English also became a necessary language all over the world to communicate with people in other countries. I have a great interest in English and have studied it for quite a long time, so I am now majoring in English. For these reasons, it makes me possible to get one step closer to my goal.                In fact, my first major is French, so it will also be my strong point to become an interpreter. Many countries use it as a native language or an official language because of French colonial rule in the past. For this reason, UN and international conferences also use it as an official language. Today, mostly, anyone studies and speaks well English, but the number of people who can speak French is few. Using French was to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's advantage to be elected to the post, for example.                In addition, I am good at concentrating and memorizing. During the conversation between people, an interpreter should listen carefully to what they say and memorize to interpret the contents of communications for others. Therefore, concentration and memorization are the important factors to interpret. Whenever I do something, I really focus on it. Also, if I once see or hear something, I seldom forget it, so these abilities will be advantages to be an interpreter.                In conclusion, English and French skills that I have will help me to be an interpreter. My abilities to concentrate and memorize will also be helpful. Even though I cannot speak fluently not only English but also French yet, I am still learning. As the saying goes, "No one is too old to learn." I will continuously do my best, and I believe that I will be an interpreter someday like a dream come true.

I always have a dream. Although with advancing years, my dream has become more realistic, I continue to dream. Like this, while pursuing my goals, I have become mature little by little. I have worked as an editor in the publishing companies over 10 years, and now I have a new goal to translate books. To become a faithful communicator, translators should have excellent language skills; be well informed with broad vision; and be scrupulous.

Translators are a communicator who promotes cultural interchange by means of language. So, first of all, translators should have outstanding linguistic skills, especially, reading and writing skills. In childhood, I loved reading books and would win the prize at the writing contest. While in college, I made the school magazine as an editor and reporter; after graduating, I have worked as an editor in some publishing companies. Furthermore, I am majoring in English translation at a reputable college to enhance my ability.

Next, translators should have a great deal of common knowledge because they deal with various areas. However excellent language skills are, translators cannot understand a text well if they are short of common sense. Since my college, as a report and editor, I have developed a critical eye dealing with contemporary essays. Also, I have broadened my knowledge, especially editing various books. I could keep an open mind working with various writers such as a professor, a literary person, a civil activist, a scientist and so on.

Finally, translators should be careful; that is, he has to translate not only a message controlling a total text but even every sentence, every concept. I could develop these qualities, especially working in the publishing company. For example, when I encountered vague explanation while proofreading, I made sure to check them again and confirm. Also, as the marketing planner of books, I was in a habit of working step by step based on practical research and analysis. 

In short, to faithfully communicate, translators should have good linguistic skills or extensive knowledge, and be thorough. Fortunately to some extent, I could develop these abilities, while have been working as a reporter and editor since my college. Now that I buckle down to English translation; I am gradually realizing my goal to become a special translator.

Born to Teach

 

 When I was a child, I wished that I had several bodies. The reason is because there were so many things I wanted to do in the future, such as a singer-songwriter, basketball player and professional traveler. However, as I grew up, I was only interested in the film industry as my future profession. Recently, I change my future goal slightly. At first, I wanted to be a film director responsible for everything about film, but now I hope to teach college students of the Film department. I think I have several strong points for my future career.

 First, I am very used to teaching. I have always tutored students as my part-time job. I have taught students some subjects such as Korean languages and English grammar. I have some know-how to make students understand in my own ways. Before I have a part-time job as a tutor, when I was in high school, many friends of mine asked me to explain the process for the math problems. Every time I taught how to solve them, my friends complimented me, saying "You have to become a teacher of professor in the future. Sometimes your explanation is easier to understand than our teachers'."

 

 In addition, English will help me become a professor. Nowadays, many universities are looking for someone who can give lecture in foreign languages, especially English. No matter what applicants major in, English becomes almost obligation. For the present, my ability in English is not good enough to do lecturing in English. However, I think I am exposed to the best environment for studying English. If I put more energy into my major, English, I will be able to teach film in English to some extent.

 Finally, I usually do not feel nervous about making presentation in front of people. This is related to my personalities. First, I am an outgoing person, so I like to meet new people. I believe that making presentation is a good opportunity to make people recognize me. This belief seems to make me feel comfortable with speaking in front of people. After presentation, I usually meet several people who come to me and say, "Do you know me? I saw you in Professor Kim's class. Your presentation was interesting." Also, I am quite optimistic. Therefore, I am always positive and confident that I will make great speech or presentation. Even though I totally mess up the presentation, I just forget about it.

 

 When it comes to becoming a professor, I have some forte, including teaching ability, English and presentation skill. However, I do not have more than enough qualities to become a professor in "Film" department. I need more creativity to work in the art world. In order to develop creativity, I do my best to have direct and indirect experiences, such as travelling and reading lots of books respectively. I strongly believe what people say, "Knowing yourself is the best shortcut to achieve your goal." I already took a first step into a shortcut to my dream.

Stop the Unstoppable Growth of Fast Food

 

             Well-Being trend can not stop 'them'. They are fast food chains. Nowadays, most of us are seeking healthy and slow food because of problems of fast food. However, strangely, the number of fast food chains has been increasing all over the world. [For example, when it comes to Japanese food service industry, the industry has slimmed down by 18% since 1997. Nevertheless, the fast food companies have always had a surplus.] Should we let these fast food chains grow? No. I think we should stop them from growing, because they have many disadvantages.

             Many fast food companies invent many healthy foods with fresh ingredient, but those are as unbalanced nutritionally as ever. In recent year, People are interested in well-being food and mind eating fast food. In order to draw customers again, the fast food companies made healthy menu, such as hamburgers made from rice or chicken fried in good extra-virgin olive oil. Their effort to change their menu is good, but it is not enough. Fast foods are still high in calories and people can hardly get minerals and vitamins from them. In addition, product developers in fast food companies can not change ingredients of soft drinks which people drink with fast food.

             The increasing price is another problem. Fast food, especially hamburger, is the food which children like. When I was in elementary school, I could hear the voice of my friends so many times, "Today is my birthday, so let's have a party in McDonald's after school!" However, recently, it is hard to watch children coming to fast food franchise store with their friends. In my opinion, one of the reasons children can not come is the price. Also, the price of new menu to keep up with 'well-being' trend is really high. The reason is because its ingredients are comparatively expensive, but I do not think the price is not reasonable.

             In my opinion, the most serious problem of fast food chains is that they make a lot of environmental pollution. The most of fast food franchise provide delivery or take-out services. At this point, the stores usually use single-use containers. Hamburger wrappers and pizza boxes are vinyl coated paper and the tops of soda bottles are plastic. Finally, fast food staffs put all foods in the plastic bags. Only in McDonalds', more than 50 million people all over the world visit and buy hamburgers every single day. Imagine. How much disposable materials are ending up in the trash!

            The growth of fast food chains should be controlled. There are so many problems that fast food chains cause, including unbalanced food, the soaring price and environmental pollution. Maybe, it is almost impossible to stop fast food companies from growing. The growth of them seems to be unstoppable. There is one of the first and most important ways to solve many problems fast food chains. The fast food companies themselves should try harder  to make positive effects of their growth than anyone else.
