Good afternoon. Let me introduce myself. My name is Sung-ho Park. I am a job counselor. Today, I am going to give you some tips and advice to get a job. If you have any questions, please ask me whenever you want. I know that one of you is junior student and another is a senior.
As you know that it is getting difficult to get a job. You need to compete with other students who want to get a job and you also make your self be competitive. As a counselor manage, I hope that my advice which I am telling you today can help you.
You don't graduate university yet. Especially, you junior student have the time more than senior. Before you try to get a job, you need to know yourself such as what kind of job is best for you, what kind of people you are and what kind of job you can do better. If you don't know what to do or what kind of person you are, I recommend you to have a aptitude test. Soong-Sil university gives you chance to have the test. It can help you to know about yourself.
If you want to get a job, you must have an interview. Here is some tips and advice what you have to do and you never do in a interview. First of all, don't be late at your interview. Do plan to arrive about 10 minutes early. Late arrival for a job interview is never excusable. . If you were late you might never get a second chance. Behavior is also important. You need to be normal. Here is a proverb, "A cornered stone meets the mason's chisel". Korean companies are very conservative and they want a man who can adapt oneself to the company.
Interviewers may judge you by your appearance so you need to wear a neat suit. Try to wear less obtrusive colours. You also need to have your hair cut tidy. Pretending you are optimistic person is also good point. Smiling can help you look like optimistic person. Some thing you never do is wearing colorful glasses and dying your hair.
Interviewers are may asking you many questions. Before you have an interview, you have to prepare answers of questions what you can expect. It is essential that you study about the company. You need to research and know the type of job interview you will attend and practice for the interview. You need to answer their questions as natural as possible.
When they ask you questions, don't answer questions with a simple "yes" or "no." You need to explain why you think like that. You need to express yourself as much as possible such as your talents, skills, and determination. Sometimes they make you embarrassed. If they do so, don't be nervous or embarrassed. In this situation, you keep yourself calm and find a good and tactful answer. They might just want to test your skills at embarrassing situation.
You are not the only one. I mean you are one of interviewee. If you want to be picked up by interviewer, you have to prove yourself that you are better than the others. Please, keep those thing, what I talked you, in your mind. Preparation and confidence are most important things. Make yourself to be prepared to get a job, which you most want. Preparation makes you feel confident.
I hope you can get a job, which you really want to do. Good luck to you.
Thank you.

18th March, 2008
Mr. Thomas F. Jernstad
Professor of English Department
Soong-sil University.
Dear, Mr. Thomas F. Jernstad
I am very glad to introduce myself. I have been studying English for 8years as a student of English Department in Soong-sil university since I entered the school at 2001. I also have been studying Business administration for a sub-major. While I am studying in university, I temporary rested from study twice. Like the others, I served in the army for 2years and I leaved the country to go to abroad so that I study English where English is spoken. Now I am a senior student and preparing to get a job which is kind of the financial world.
The U.K is the country in which I studied for 1year. At that time, I was looking forward to having useful experiences and I actually had. I met lots of foreign friends although we had different culture and way of thinking. They always said like this "Ho! you are always smiling, that's why I like you!" I am not only friendly but also good at making friends. Most of them who I have ever met and I keep touching with each other. Having many friends, I think that is big fortune to me.
I was a member of Cham-den-sam that is a group of Soong-sil university. We had seminars to argue about every kinds of topics such as campus life, movie, political problems, social issues and the others. As a result of this, I could improve skills of argument and how to persuade people. Furthermore, I could get lots of knowledge. Because of my hard work in this group, I could be elected for head of the group when I became a sophomore. I learned that how to lead a group and how to deal with many people in the group.
Every summer had gone, I used to have dark skins. Almost every summer after I entered university, I went to agricultural village to give them my hands. Although I didn't know about agricultural skills so I couldn't be big help to them, I felt happy. Unless I had this experiences, I couldn't recognize a big pleasure comes from social service. I am always thinking that how I help poor people as my little power. Now I am planning to teach English for poor students who can't get private lessons. I hope that I could help people who need my help as long as I can.
"why do we fall, Bruce?"
"So we could learn to pick ourselves up."
This is part of the film 'Batman begins'. We fall down sometimes and want to give up something. In my case, however, I never give up and try harder and harder until I achieve my own goal. I have been in difficult situations several times during the life but I know that there is always solution or way out and I believe that I can find that solution or way out. "Never, never, never give up" by Winston Churchill is my favorite speech and I keep this in my mind.
This is the last year in university. I would like to get a job after I graduate the school. Especially, financial world is the one which I most prefer. To achieve my goal. I am studying Business administration in university as a sub-major. Indeed, I am going to take a test get a certification of FP(Financial Planner) at the following summer. One day, I would like to establish my own company.
I hope that you know me better through the self-introduction. Please do not hesitate if you have any questions or you need further information.
Yours faithfully,

smoking(in-class)
summary.
Dave who is 21years old is a heavy smoker. He likes to smoke at everywhere he goes even during the flight. He is dissatisfied with smoke free zone because many advanced country are not allowing to smoke at many places such as whole the building, bus stop, restaurant, and even in the bar where people usually used to smoke.
He insists that he can do what he wants to do. He likes to smoke without any interruption.
opinion.
He needs to know how bad smoking is and how harmful to the others.
Although smoking is really bad, smokers have freedom of smoking. Unless smoking is banned by law, we need to make places for smokers.
For the women smokers, I really don't care that women smoke or not. However, they should quit the smoking at the specific period such as during the pregnant.
