Name of the movie :  Public enemy returns (공공의 적 1-1), (2008)

The director : 강우석

 Have you ever watched the above movie? I really like this movie because the movie not only address crimes issues in korea, but also it is sometimes pretty humorous because of the actors playing very well and spiting out some slangs in very fun tones. So, I would like to introduce this crime and comic movie.

 The main character named Chuljung Kang(강철중) is a detective in Gangdong police station in Seoul. He doesn't like to be regulated by most of rules in his office, and always try to find out crimes, and solve them on his own. Because of that, some his supervisors hate him, but he really doesn't care of it. That's why I like the character so much, who is a man of strong faith. He is not all talk but is a good fighter, so it doesn't make all people in the movie look down on him.
 The main story line is that he suspected a bussinessman as a boss of a criminal group, and he started investigations for him.  He found that the bussinessman is the boss of the gang in fact, and started to collect evidences about them, and finally, he arrests them very successfully.

 It criticizes very rouldy for gangs and crimes in korea, not only this movie, but also all of series of the movie, because there had been a lot of movies and some dramas showing that gangs act very cool and they are pretty good people. Becuase of that, people, especially young people, used to think they have good friendships and are even faithful. Gangsters, however, are not nice people actually, so this movie insists that we mustn't follow them and have right thinking about them.

Tell about something interesting that you learned about in chapel or one of your other classes.

 I am learning very elementary level of German in this semester, and it is pretty interesting to me. Firstly, this language has very similar words and grammar with English, and use alphabets. I realized the reason that Germans are very accustomed to learning English, and speak very well than most of Asians. Anyways, I found that there are some female words and male words in German grammar. I was pretty embarrassed by these grammar, because I've never imagine something like that. I'm still thinking about why they made such like difficult to memorize things.

 All the same, I really enjoy learning German, because I just used to learn English as a only foreign language, and German is the new one that I started learning.

Write a travelblog about a place that you have gone // week 4

 Hello guys, today I'm going to introduce a place that is very beautiful, and I really enjoyed. I went to New zealand, and lived at there about a year. Everything is incredibly clean, and there is a  nice blue sky.  Even in some of place like rural areas, I collected the rainwater, and I could drink it without any problems. That was so nice and clean! I would like to show you some cities that I've been.

 The first city I visited was Christchurch. It is in the south island, and about middle east of the island. Generally, the city is called "the garden city", because all the each house in the city must have a garden, and the people have to manage them themselves. On a very clear day, I just looked at all the houses which is well lined up and tidy with their all gardens,  and that was so lovely and nice. But, there were something bad happened, that was the earthquakes. I felt many earthquakes. All of them was pretty small though,  I was so much terrified whenever they struck my house or sometimes my language school. I had never felt something like that, because it has never happened in Korea.  Actually, before I went there,  there were already two massive earthquakes which broke down most of the buildings in the city center of Christchurch and caused many casualties. These days, however, I heard that there are no more earthquakes, it is still very good place for trips.

 The second place is Nelson which is located in northermost region of the south island. I went there for trying some leisure sports like rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, tramping etc. There are many kind of netural places for enjoying the sports around the city. I really enjoyed the sports, and met so nice people. Also, the city is known as centre of New zealand, and there are the exact point of the centre on a hill. I went up the hill, and found the point and looked at the city. I could see a coastral city which is the most beatiful I've ever seen.

 The travel for a year was very memorial experience to me, and it is highly recommended to have some time in New zealand if you love netural environments!

Write about a club or church group you are involved in. What does the club do? Why did you join?

 In my church, I’m in the teacher group which is teaching biblical contents to middle school and high school students. There are 6 teachers and 30 students. We made a each group of 5 people and have a class every week. I really enjoy teaching this, I don’t know pretty much about Bible though. So I prepare for teaching by studying some part of Bible every week, and It is good for me as well because I didn’t like to read Bible and that makes me read and think about it. 

 The reason I joined this group was when I didn't enter the army service, and I had to get in there soon, I prayed that "If I finish my military service without any accidents and any injuries, I will service as a teacher in my church." As a result, I finished my army service, and I've been keeping my promise.-

Week 3 homework // thanks letter

 Hey, how are you? I guess it is first time to write a letter to you, isn’t it? Actually I have never written some letters to someone and am even writing it in English bro! I think you are going to figure it out very well because you are pretty smart one I have known.

 

 Anyway, the reason I’m writing this letter is I just want to thanks to you for having been in my life since we were in middle school. Something that I remember when we were middle school students, we played computer games together after school. What else do you remember? I think you are not going to recall anything else neither except for just playing computer games! But I think we had a pretty good time, and It gave a chance to become familiar with you. For these days, we hang out every weekends, no more computer games, hit the gym, and sometimes go to Karaoke(노래방). That all kind of things is very memorial experience to me, so I really appreciate you, seriously. It’s not joking bro!

 

 I would like to make such kind of things some more further in life. Thank you for reading my letter, and I look forward to receiving your reply, and of course, you will have to write in English yeah!

 

 From your best friend
