Gourmet On the Go : Good Food Goes Trucking Response
After reading this article, I think he is creative and progressive person. In spite of constant a life of follies with drug addiction, he carried out the plan connected with cooking at once. He had a novel idea which is able to fulfill both consumer and producer. He could provide fine dishes to customers by the idea, going good food as trucking. The idea can provide food without optional expense, like cost of interior decoration, which is really difficult. Of course, at first he failed many times. However, in November 2008, he could run the scheme soon because he used advertisement via a large number of food blog of twitter and website work. This way made big effect at a small outlay. His truck store can become famous and that is the cornerstone of his success. I am a person who doesn’t think interior decoration less important, but I think it is fantastic idea to using Internet thanks to its sustaining power and immensity.

A company has announced that it wished to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantage and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
One of the characteristics of modern society is remarkable development of industry. So, factoriesare springing up everywhere. Constructing a factory is uncontrollable/unavoidable/inevitable along with the development. It can happen everywhere, even in your residential district. How do you think about this situation?
First, a company provides economicalsupportby opening a factory. They build roads, which help to revive local economy. On the other hand, it causes environmental pollution. The factory chimney fumed incessantly. Moreover, the water sometimeshas been polluted by the factory waste. Local environment gradually die because company.
However, they say that theymake much effort to promote the welfare of the local resident. They established school for high education and created a park for environment. But, it can’t prevent environmental pollution. For example, I live in Kwang-yang, (and there) where are several factories nearby.
Most of my neighbors have bronchitis. Also, I was suffering from chronic bronchitis. They can’t make enough effort to rehabilitateenvironment. It is physically impossible.
To sum up, Company was effort in every parts for built up factory. But it is not enough, because factory causes many problems on environment. Supposing Company built up factory near my residence, I don’t weolcome it for my neighbor, parents, friends and child.

Thesis topic : Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books, In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
Some people argue that knowledge obtained from books is more important than any other knowledge. Though both sides have individual great advantages, but I have a different idea. I prefer knowledge obtained from experience to information obtained from books. The following examples are the reasons why I feel this way.
First, knowledge gained from experience can have a profound impact on our growth as a person. Also, it can be remembered forever because it is real experience which you feel and realize directly. On the flip side, knowledge gained from experience makes you spend lots of money and time as well. Besides, it demands plenty of effort from you.
Secondly, benefits of knowledge gained from books are valuable.Books offer you enormous and professional information in many various fields. In addition, you can get information what you need since you are able to reread the books whenever you want. However, there is a disadvantage as well. It is difficult to understand information gained from books exactly if you didn’t experience directly.
Although there are many advantages in each sides, I am firmly convinced that knowledge gained from experience is more important than knowledge from books. One more advantage is that you can correct mistakes from real life experiences. For instance, you can learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same errors. Also, errors from past make you can anticipate future obstacles. For these reasons I mentioned, I think that knowledge gained from experience is more important.

Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Some people think that easily prepared foods improve the way people live, whereas others believe
that easier ways to prepare food have a negative effect on people life. As for me, I would like to side
with the latter people. This is because easily prepared foods take away the joy of cooking with family
and also it is a really unhealthy food. Specified reasons are like following.
First of all, easier ways to prepare food do not allow family to spend their time cooking. Preparing
foods with family can build their closer. I understand that cooking together is not the only way of
developing their relationship. It, however, seems to me that the benefits of cooking far outweigh those
of negative thing. This is because family can gather and talk together through cooking time. Ever
since I was little, whenever I was cooking with my family members, I talked about my worries and
found solutions because cooking time was the only time for all my family to get together.
Also easily prepared foods lack valuable nutrients that people need for daily activities.
For example, fast food such as pizza and hamburger contains many preservatives, high fat and high
cholesterol. I understand that people have no time to cook; however, if they eat easily prepared foods
often, they will not get a balanced diet and their health getting worse. As you know, these day many
people have gone through stomachache and fat from fast food and frozen food.
Taking all of these things into account, easier ways to prepare food have harmful effect on people
Life. They hinder family to being together and give unhealthynutrients. In conclusion, I believe that
easily prepared foods do not improve the way people live.

In conclusion, we live in the world that people wants fast and effective. So, we need to control the time and get faster. Although some people said convenience food is inevitable and satisfying human beings because of the reasons that I mentioned. Therefore, convenience food is essential thing and improves human life.
서우영
In conclusion, superficially reducing food preparing time seems improve our living butit doesn't. It disaccredit our health and enjoy life with relatives. That is why I firmly disagree with the statement that as food has become easier to prepare, our life change improved.
이충녕
To sum up, as I mentioned above, the fact that food preparation has been much easier than before is not only a good thing. Problems from instant food outweigh benefits from it. People who enjoy eating fast food should keep in mind that they have been ruined our health for convenience. Instant food should be banned from our society for our healthier life.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Generally people say that parents are the best teachers. Absolutely, I agree with their saying. No one can be a better teacher than parent, because most parents are one of people who always care about children and love them most. Parents would be ideal teacher for their children.
One main reason is that children feel comfortable with their parents. Especially children
Sang-Do Lee
Prof. Duck-Young Ham
Generally, parents are trying to give more and more chances to their children though it cannot be rewarded. This unlimited rewardless actions are sometimes regarded as a desirable attitude to be good teachers. However, I believe this kind of emotion blocks their parents from being good teachers.
Firstly, they are too generous to their children to be teachers. Their
