need to be changed

-Getting up lately, comicboock-handed killing time, doing nothing worth, and everything you can imagine the worst.


I feel like I should confess nowaday life of mine, though there's no one to read this blog(yes I know, it has a counter. lol)
Not knowing what has made me become "the representative of laziness," something suddenly struck on my mind and now I'm sitting in front of my monitor.

I have to be changed!

As summer goes on, I have missed a lot of things to do: studying English everyday, completing an essay, and so on. Did I set on too big goal to achieve? Was my will too weak? What on earth is my problem!

I belive in that I'm not late yet and there's still a chance to fix it up. Please watch me to the end.
I'll change my life, seriously.

July, hurray~!

I've long been looking forward to July(since March maybe), simply because I thought it was almost impossible to do what I want to do during the school semester. However I should accept the truth; it is one of the most typical, traditional, and transparent excuse for one's laziness.
As one part of *not* being lazy, I'm starting to attend a writing class at Pagoda in Jong-no area. After taking the very first lesson, the idea of posting a new article on this blog struck my mind and I'm trying to do that now ;)
From now on, I'll do more effort to post (whatever) regularly. I promise. (or probably mistakes! lol)

Incredible Panda!



My latest movie was "Ironman" and there was no doubt to say it is pretty awesome. Today I could be come to find the another most interesting movie and laugh all the time without any hesitation, any thoughts, and any worries watching this big funny (powerful, yeah in sort of~) Panda and his friends. I feel like I'm going to write a kind of review thing... of course when I get ready to do it. ;) Anyhow, look at it! Isn't it awesome, huh? I promise you it's more gorgeous than ever you imagine, to watch it on huge screen of moview complex with 3D sound.

Self-Acess Reading Resources for L2 readers

Purpose: to faciliate good self-accessible reading materials to present/future students for the purpose of

  • providing the supplement materials of a textbook (for more intensive and extensive reading)
  • adding or activating the schemata of the readers (for extensive reading)
  • having the students choose what they like to read on their own interest, proficiency and other needs
  • having them exposed to authentic texts with authentic audiences and authentic purposes

I named this project Reader's Hill which expresses the process of reading and joy of reading itself.

Here, visit the project web page >> Reader's Hill
or just click the button above "Reader's Hill"

1. Target: High school 2nd Kyohaksa.

2. Purpose: This Self-Access Reading Resources(SARR) would be used as supplementary texts by all the different-level students in my class. Add more, they can interact freely through the web-board and its comment function so that no other gorup or student would be never isolated from each other. In the very first step, as I've been making as the "assignment" of Prof. Kim, of course it is impossible to make it with full body at one time. For that reason, I just collected some rather difficult passages and placed them for higher-level students.

3. Collection plot: There are 12 categories and each category represents the lesson topic on the textbook. Number of items in each category vary from one or two to six or more.


4. Categorization: topic-based

Unbelievable!

I've never seen this guy behaves so. When I first saw this crazy clip, I just thought it might be a celeb-like person who imitates like Tom. How could I imagine "TOM CRUISE" the geek!
