The worst teacher; Narrative Essay

Our class is full of smell of sweats, and the atmosphere is also depressing and not good enough.

One day, we were taking a rest in our own ways as usual.
Suddenly, the front door creaked open.
When we raised our heads, our class teacher was standing with his livid face.
He opened his mouth holding back his anger. “Go outside changing your uniforms!” He just said only these words and went outside.
We were all embarrassed about his action and didn’t know what to do. The class president first relaxed our agitation and led us to go out. We all were standing wearing our sweatsuit  in front of the platform.

After a few minutes, he came back and suddenly yelled at us, saying “ What have you done until now? There is nothing you’ve done for achieving your project. How did you guys get the worst grades in our school, not only once but twice?” and he continuously pushed us to bring us to our senses. While he was nagging us, we had no choice but just to listen his nitpicking  and follow his order to run three laps about the school ground.
At that time, we all realized how disappointed he was about our poor grades and how stressful he was for our class to be compared to other ones and irritated at colleagues’ doubt about his qualification as a class teacher.
But, it was too much to train us to run and squat walk around the playground  like army.
Each of us were very  resentful and embarrassed about this absurd situation.
Also, we feel shameful about the glances of other class students.

Finally, instead of  studying history by sitting in a chair, we’d done exercise like a gym class  for  one hour. In spite of his sincere advice, we’d still had not so good scores  since then. When I look back on that time, it was like one type of punishments. It was open to become problem about his qualification. In addition, it was not fair and  not reasonable to pushed us just because of our grades.  We could demand the validity of his actions and resist it.

However, it would be not a unique case in our society. Even though I enter the university,  there is no big change and no improvement by comparison with the high school system.
I realized not to settle  for the present and to be critical ,and have questions about the way the society works.
it is also the reason why I start to write the opinion essay about social issues.

'About Me'

I'm Eunhye kim. Just call me Gracy.
My age... umm it is very sensitive thing for women so, I skip it.
In fact, I'm a student of foreign university of Busan. Nowadays, I'm preparing for coming out to the society.  There are many things that I've concerned.
Increasing Toeic score, getting drive licence,  writing resume and etc.
I think that it could be common concerns with others.
Lately, I started to do something for relieving my stress from the concerns.
That is to go out for walk listening to music and drawing.
It is very helpful for my healthy emotion.
Anyway, from now on i'll post my writings about the articles or social issues
for sharing my opinion about that issues and getting some advices about my writing.
I'll sometimes present my photos that sugguest my travel or my experiences.

Opinion Essay; A university education is a worthwhile investment

“We should graduate with a degree from university in order to get a job".  People think that it is natural and it could become the reason to go to  university. But my opinion is that university education is a worthless investment because it doesn’t help to get a job. the tuition is also too high for the quality of university education, and  In university, we can’t find what we want to be.


When we’re in high school, we study to go to the prestigious university to get high-salaried jobs.  It could be the main goal of our life. However, there are a few people who realize it. In addition,  the unemployment of college graduates is increasing in reality. Why does it happen? They usually want to get  stable and high salaried jobs. However, ironically those who want that jobs come out unprepared for the workplace. So the companies do not prefer hiring  them.
In fact, we learn how to think and how to memorize well, but we do not learn real experience for working in the university. In other words, having only good scores in the classes could be unhelpful for getting employed.   


In the result, we go out of university for more careers.  For example, we get the help from charged academy to get certificate, not from the university. particularly in language department. Also, there are many people who go abroad for enhancing their language skills, instead of inside of college.
In addition , the average tuitions of universities are from 2 million to 4 million won. So it is not inconsiderable to take some classes during 1 semester. However, the price differs widely from foreign countries, particularly Germany. By giving payment, we can just borrow books in the libraries, be a member of club, and store up our knowledges by taking several classes.  That’s all benefits for us to be given by university.Also, when we are high school students, we spend our whole time to prepare for entering the university. But, the university is different from what we have imagined and require us too much money as charges of classes.

Consequently, we can’t find our job just losing our money. Most of all, we cannot find what we want to be. Particularly, those who study departs which are directly unrelated with jobs more severely cannot. For example, in language department, there is  a merit that the studies could be widely used in unlimited job departments. In the contrary, where we will work, it is what we have to decide by ourselves.


In addition, it is true that it's needed  more help to find their future jobs for those who choose universities, not considering what they want to study and to be in future. But, it's not easy to make efforts to find my dream while we study in university because we almost spend time to get good scores; gain a scholarship. In the result, the students who couldn't find them and hope for nothing in future, generally become employees without their desires in their jobs.   


Finally, we got to pose a question 'why do we go to the university and 'why do we have to go there?'. In present society, it is just considered as an essential gateway for getting higher position. We have to throw away this wrong thought and got to know what is really  helpful for our better life. The university just gives us a name of title without giving help. Therefore trend in which university is where we have to go to get the job have to be changed. The investment in university have to be decreased.

week#1 writing

1. How was your vacation? highlight? lowlights?  Memorable experiences?

It was so memorable. In fact I traveled in France during two weeks with just 500 euro.
It was so hard to live in there with fool budget.
Particularly, it was big problem what we eat.  Most of restaurants have their own menus which costs 15~29euro.  So we didn’t have choice but satisfy our appetite with the products in the market.
However, thanks to that money, I could experience variety of things.
When I’m in Paris, we had to take subway for transportation.  Originally, the bundles of tickets that we used to buy, it was 14.5 euro. One time, we fortunately bought it 7.5 euro. In our thought, it cost differently according with the station. Finally, we got to know it cost more cheap because it was for below 10years olds.  Nevertheless, considering how much we have, we’d continuously used it before we leave.

2.how do you feel about writing? Do you enjoy writing in Korean and/ or English?
In fact, I’m not familiar with writing. Frankly, it is not my favor that I have to use my head. particularly,  activity asking for my brainstorm.  It is why I don’t try to write.
However, it’s changed when I decide to write, overcome the pain of creation.
In result, my output becomes longer than my expectation before work.
In consideration of my personality, Korean is more convenient material for my writing. Because it is a mother language and I don’t have to be concerned about choosing which word I have to use to express my feeling.

3. Tell us about the first time you traveled overseas

In fact Africa, it was my first country that I’d visited. So the environment and culture made me more shocked and challenged.
Different language, color and custom, they sometimes gave me thought that where I was born is the best place for my living. But it was also chance to enlarge my view over foreign country.
I realized that it is not all where I’ve lived and there is more various things outside of my hometown.
