  Have you ever played Starcraft or Warcraft? Or certain types of games like that? Most of the days, so many teens are having fun in playing online games. They took a lot of time to game, but it is very interesting that the how many times you spend to your game doesn't gurantee your success at the game. To success on the online strategy game, there is certain types of being success.. It have total two type and you just need only these to win at game.

  The first part is to know about the system of the game. You have to remember that however the game is made by system, so like the other system, if you put good input, there comes good output. So what is the good input? It is the resources. The more you get the resource, the more you can make your unit. However the others are playing good, the many units can cover everything. So do not forget. The game is only a system and whether to win, the most important thing is that you have to input something, whatever it calls at the game.

  But now you will wonder about why then I cannot win? I followed your choice. Now this is the second part. You have to understand the way where your game is going. As in first part, I say that the you have to show the system of the game. and the second part is that you have to see the flow of the game. The player whether player or computer, will play differently at each game. So every time, you have to know what they are playing. Mostly, your feel will be better if you play more games. This why so many people are playing games. But it doesn't mean the more play gives you to see more better. It is only the higher possibility. So if you just concentrate about it, then you can find it easily.

  So I talked about two parts of how to win at the online strategy game. I ,also the one of the game player, always mind this two strategy before the game with my friend, mostly Kim Dong Young who mostly play game with. So I had wined so lot. Don't forever. however the game is so fun, the game is only a system and you are playing with the people overside the computer. It is the only important thing in when you are having a game.

Survive in a Korea Karaoke

 

             A small dark room, glamorous lights, loud music, a big screen and two microphones… What do they remind you of? The answer is a karaoke where people sing songs for entertainment. In Korea, many businessmen like to go to karaoke with their colleagues after work; because they think it is very significant to spend a lot of time with co-workers and build a close relationship. Also, if you brighten up the mood in karaoke, you may impress your boss and get a chance of promotion. There are several ways to have a big success in karaoke.

             Selecting proper songs is most important. Some exhilarating songs are suitable for this situation, such as dance music. These kinds of songs can make people move up and down. If you choose some quiet songs, your co-workers will talk with a person sitting next to them, rather than listen to your song. In addition, you should consider the age of people when you select songs. It does not make sense to sing old pop songs when you are with young junior staffs. On the contrary to this, your superiors may not know recent songs, so you better sing songs which are as old and popular as most people in Korea know.

             Another way to be successful in livening up the atmosphere is that you should be confident. It does not matter if you are good at singing or not. In order to make people enthusiastic and responsive to you, you have to be confident first. Even if you make mistakes and look somewhat crazy at that time, the next day no one can remember what you did clearly. People only remember that you are an appealing person to be with. In order to have confidence, it is also helpful to make a list of songs that you can sing well and practice them.

             You do not need to worry about having dinner with your colleagues if you know the secret of success for karaoke nights, including selecting proper songs and being confident. No one can deny that good relationship between co-workers is as important as great ability to work in Korea society. Positive attitudes in karaoke can help you make a good impression on people who you work with.

Have you ever eaten a maejakwa? What about some cookies? A maejakwa is one of traditional Korean sweets. Starting from making dough, cooking a maejakwa requires rolling the dough thin, shaping it into the unique appearance, and frying it. Then how can we make a cookie? It is also made from dough, but it seems that not only its recipe but the taste of it is totally different from that of maejakwa. However, we can easily find that they all often make people satisfied when people are not hungry but need something to nibble on. Now, let me give you these two paintings, Impression: Sunrise and La rencontre ou "Bonjour Monsieur Courbet."(The rest will be expressed as Sunrise and La rencontre), which look so different but have something quite similar with each other. As you can see with the comparison of maejakwa and cookie, these two different paintings have something very important in common.

 

 

 

 

 If you try to observe these paintings closely, you will soon realize that they are very different in the way of making a brush stroke, using colors, describing the details. While La rencontre is concentrating on people who bumped into each other, Sunrise is focusing on a landscape, the beautiful scene of sunrise. In this point, Sunrise tried to give the viewers the chance to feel that they are actually looking at the sunrise when they see the painting. If we look closely at Sunrise in a very short distance with it, there would be just some brush strokes. When we see the painting in farther distance like we can do right now, however, we can feel sure that he tried to give us the image, impression of sunrise. In contrast, if we do the same thing on La rencontre, we would find the men's shoes, collars, hats or maybe right ear of the dog. Courbet, who drew the painting, wanted to show the viewers that how he thought about an artist. The person right in front him is generally accepted as his patron, Altred Bruyas. The person is with two partners who would protect him in emergency, a servant on the right side of him and a dog on the other. Compared to this, Courbet in the painting doesn't seem to care about his condition of life. He just seems to be proud of himself, which is hard to find in the rich person standing right before him. In this painting, we can see what the important principle that Courbet had on drawing was: Courbet painted according to his own standards, not for King, Pope, or his patron like people commonly did in his age.

Now, leaving from what we talked before and let's try to focus on what Sunrise and La rencontre have done for us, like we did on a maejakwa and a cookie. They reliezed in different times of art, but the reactions were the same. People shoked on these two paintings because they both tried something new in the times. Before La rencontre, artists thought that an art is should be all about meaningful religious or historical events like the Last Supper, the Birth of Venus. Compared to them, what Courbet described on his canvas was just a thing which can happen in everyday life. Similar to this, Monet, the artist who drew Sunrise, experienced the same reactions of his painting because he drew the impression of sunrise without using the color black, which seemed incredible to the people of the day. Most people didn't want to believe it so some of them even made sarcastic remarks at him and his painting, Sunrise.  

Sunrise and La rencontre are totally different paintings except they both made remarkable changes in the history of art. Behind them there are the braveness of the painters who did not afraid of what people at that time might think about their painting.

 There are two special celebrations in Korea that I hate. Those are the Valentine's Day and the White Day. On those days, Koreans exchange chocolates and candies respectively. Why I hate those? Because those days are the days for the couples! The true pleasure that we can feel on the Valentine's Day or the White Day, I think, comes from something that we received from the boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't have a boyfriend who would give me candy, so I can't feel true pleasure, and that's the reason why I hate two special celebrations. These two celebrations I hate have a lot of similarities like this and also, differences. I would like to tell you about those.

 Above all, the Valentine's Day and the White Day are the days we can show our sense of love, friendship, respect by give someone chocolates and candies. Sometimes children give to parents, students give to teachers, but usually in Korea, young couples exchange those things. Valentine's Day and White Day are also on the 14th of the month. Valentine's Day is February 14th, and White Day is March 14th.  

 Valentine's Day and White Day have many differences as well. I heard that it is a little bit different from that of Korea, but there is Valentine's Day in other western countries as well. In contrast, there is no White Day in western countries. White Day is originated from the Japanese baking company's events on March 14th. It became famous in Japan, and it came to countries such as Korea and China. And White Day exists only in some Asian countries.

   I have disliked those two days until now, but I really want to like those days. I hope I can make a boyfriend somehow by the next Valentine's Day and enjoy that day.

Two people comparison

 

 

           There is a saying "Birds of a feather flock together". Bur for me sometimes it seems to be wrong. I have some best friends and Ho-seung and John are two of my best friends. They are very similar but sometimes they seem to be different each other.

 

           As two of my best friends, they seem to very similar. First, they do their best in their areas. Ho-seung is a baduk player. He always studies baduk hard and he wins a lot of competitions and tournaments. He is very professional. John is a university student. He has gotten high grades and scholrship. He always studies hard. Second, they are masculine. The way they act and talk is extremely tough. And also they like sports both playing and watching.

 

           Thus they are similar, but they are sometimes different. First, Ho-seung likes to brag. Whenever he wins the competitions he brags himeself and what he has done. On the other hand, John is very humble. He never brag himself and what he has done. Instead, he just says that it's lucky. Second, unlike john, Ho-seung knows many people. Ho-seung is a so called wide foot. He knows a lot of people and has a good relationship with his acquaintance. On the other hand, John doesn't know many people. He only knows few people.

 

          Thus Ho-seung and John are similar but sometimes they seem to be different. Regardless how they are different, both are my true friends and they are true friends each other. They are complementary.

                                                           Two different pets

 

I want compare two pets dog and cat, because of when I first image of pets that thinking about dog and cat, of course recently many people make turtle, snake or the other animal became their pets, but normally dog and cat living with people. And then cut and dog many ways really different.


For example, dog understand what master say and follow to master order, but cat be defiant what master saying just doing what they want to do. the other way dog like walking with master but cat never walking with master on the street, but cat always cause by master hug. when I was jogging in the morning lots of master runing with their dog but i never saw someone who jogging with their cat.


In my opinion I think dog is better than cat. From my heared about history both of them dog give me touched affected more than cat. when I was child my mother told me about dogs history, I still remember about that. someone who is nanny in rich  family and they have a big dog and the dog very follow to master. when master come back home dog bark at the door say hai with master, as well as when master angry with something the dog go to master side lick master's hand. but dogs life short than person die earlier than people so make master said. however cat I just think about scaring Because of I heared about just scaring things from the other people that is cat can see gost in the midnight except that I don't like cat image let me feeling uncomfortable, but I always heared about I looks like cat image.


For better for worse, someone who said dog and cat can not living together because of they are very different ways life style. such as the dog is wagging his tail means happy with something but for cat that means discontent about something. so when they get together always fighting each other.

  Can you ever think what is the most popular and best pet to human being? It is the most controversy in the world because some people will say that it is dog and the others will say it is cat. Because they are mostly wide known pets, they have some of the similarity but mostly they are different in many other ways.

  They have so many similarities but the most thing is that the first they can easily sympathy with human beings. cats and dogs are highly syncronized to human  beings. For example, in a research held in Britain that the dog can feel where their master is. Also, cats can feel same things too. They can some way can feel their master's feeling.

  But they have a big different. The most important difference is that the dog think the human as their master and the cat think as their friend or partners. Because of this, they behave very differently. If the dog know that the master is in dangerous, the dog will do anything he know to save the master, but differently cats do not care about us. It only thinks about only themselves.

  This is what the cat and dogs are in same and also in different. They both can feel the other's feeling but it is different that the dog try to think others too different from that cats didn't.
