Explain about the serious news of Bullying at schools.
Bullying is a serious problem in korean schools. Bullies (harass) their victims in various way. They sometimes (inflict) physical harm or simply make victims feel (alienated). Some often ask for money from their victims and make them engage (in) embarassing acts. Students who are bullied go through (enomous amounts of) psychological pain in (humiliation). In many cases, it is impossible for them to maintain a nomal school life. Some go as far as to take their own lives due to stress they get from bullies. I think there needs to be stronger efforts made by schools, parents, gorvenments to deal with dullying. (Instead) of simply punishing the bullies, it would be (wise) to put in place measure to prevent bullying in the first place.

Interview Q) Pick 3words that describe you the best and explain why.
Well, I would say (the) 3 words that describe (me) the best are passionate, create and healthy.
Fist, I am very passinate (about) whatever I do. I am eager to try new things all the time so I am always highly motivated to learn. Next, I consider myself a creative person because I am quite good at coming (up with) new ideas. I like to think outside (the) box as much as I can. Last of all, I am a very healthy person. I always watch what I eat and work out on a regular basis. But when I say healthy, I am not just talking about physical health. I think I am a person who has a healthy mind-set too. I value hard work (and) always try to do (the) right thing when I (encounter) problems.

해석/해설 Laura Bush stands up for her man and his legacy. The First Lady says George W. Bush will not be remembered for a failed presidency. “So I don’t really feel like I need to respond to people that view it that way, and I think history will judge and we’ll . . . we’ll see later.” She was on Fox News Sunday, saying her husband stood firm on Iraq partly because he didn’t want Americans to think their loved ones had died in vain. “He didn’t want us to lose. He didn’t want us to give up on Iraq.” Mrs. Bush also points to the legacy of her husband’s social work against HIV and AIDS in Africa. “Over two million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are on anti-retrovirals because of his policy of, uh, uh, trying to save people from disease as well as from tyranny.” Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took a similar view on CBS. She says generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he’s done. She says the Bush administration has reformed foreign governments. |
