KDB Aims to Become Top 20 by 2020
People should not wear to short
I had chosen this article because most of the people love to wear a short skirt. Some people might think wearing a short skirt make them look more attractive, fashionable, and comfortable. However wearing a short skirt brings harmful effects to them as well. There are many good reasons why people should not wear a very short skirt.
According to this article, South Africa, a local manager suggests that women should not wear a skirt that is to short. Mpho Caroline Mataboge,She noticed that many Korean girls are wearing a short skirts, in Africa especially in countryside districts. The laborer should wear longer skirt to show an respect to the elders. Mpho Caroline Mataboge is a volunteer experience about Project Literacy, a non-profit organization that offers unemployed adults in rural area basic education classes. There are also three Korean working as a partnership with this organization. “There is a lot of illiteracy among adults in South Africa. We try to educate them. Once you train parents, they are forced to educate their kids,” she said. 86 percent of 49 million populations can read and write, but educating people is still a very important task in South Africa. Reference form the CIA, World facebook, illiteracy in South Africa is not to bad.
To conclude, I think that it is a good idea to force the people to wear a long skirt because to make their life much more safe.
New Adoption Policy Backfires
I choose this news because the heading is charming to me, thenews is showing a Korea government that trying to abate thenumbers of orphan babies that has been adopted by foreigner. I think that it is not fare with the orphan babies because the babies should allow to go oversea if they have a great adopter to take care of them. Korean government should rethink about this point.
The Korean government would like to reduces the number of orphanbabies form oversea adoption but the plan is showing the oppositedirection, stingy children with special needs of chances to beplaces with qualified parents.The system was introduced to improve Korea's reputation when it comes to adoption that it sends many children overseas. Around 97 % of children with disabilities were taken in by overseas parents, shiny the fact that Koreans still wish children without such challenges.The welfare planner said “It is true that these children are less likely to be chosen even after the five months. The longer the process takes,the longer it takes for them to get adjusted to their new life”. It’s also said that they need to find a new home for the children.
To sum up, in my oppinio I strongly disagree about this point, it is not fare to the children and its said that we can’t not choose where we want to born but we can choose what .http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/05/117_60790.html

South Korea's Four Rivers Dam Construction Rolls over Opposition
South Korea’s government spent 20 billion dollar to restore 4 major rivers in order to protect, and the government try to secure fresh water and protect the flood problem. The protecting 4 rivers are the Nakdong River in the southeast; the Yeongsan River in the southwest, the Geum River in the west, and the Han River in the northwest. They planned to build 20 more dams and make the river longer than usual about 700 kilometer without any benefits. President Lee Myung-bak's determination is showed by Sunday's Cabinet reshuffle to finish the controversial project as Environment Minister Lee Maa-nee and Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs Minister Chung Jong-hwan kept their posts. According to the controversial project, there are many people argue and disagree on it. Jang Soon jae, a spokesman for the Prime Minister's office told ENS want everyone to calm down because there are a lot of misinformation out there, he warned people to not believe the rumor
I think government should decide to do something to stop the argument because the argument will slow down the project. I think it is a good idea to build more dams and refresh the river because it will make people feel safe.

Teachers reported for helping students cheat uniform tests
I think that it is normal for the student to cheat in the exam room because I am sure that every student would like to get the high score even me, but anyway even the student get the high score by cheat they will not be proud of it because it is not the right way to do it.
In North Chungcheong Province of Korea, there are thousand of thousand of teachers that try to help their students to get a high score in the exam by telling them the question or the answer that will come out in the exam. Sometimes the result of the student will link to quality of the teacher on how the teacher teaches. There are more than 30 cases of cheating during the pre-test. In the North Chungcheong Province has the worstest result, But anyway the School’s headmaster have been called the teacher up to the officer and blame them on how poor of the result of the student. At the end student have got a punishment to come to school early and leave school late than they use too.
To sum up, in my opinion I think that it is disadvantage way on how the teacher have been done because teacher only think about themselves they does not care about the student at all.

North Korea Tertiary Education
After I have read the article, I have found that Korea is one of the countries that serious and strict about the education, and because of this the education in Korea has been develop to the world wide in the good quality. In the article it said that.
Because Korea would like to progress about the education, so they teach from the basic level to hardest level and they teach to all of the citizen, and universities. These teacher has been graduated a doctor degree. Since the late 1940s, North Korea has provided greatly in education. Nowadays, there are more than 300 colleges and universities in North Korea. The universities educate scientists and scholars, the experts in basic knowledge, while colleges were made-up tutor to have more practice-oriented specialists. For many decades, North Korea had only one university called Kim-ll-sung University in Pyongyang, but in the late1980s it had increase to three universities. More than 90 percent of all the students are trained in science and technology.
In conclusion, I think that Korea has been a very great country that can develop the education to the world standards.

I decided to select this passage because Korea players played very well in Football World Cup than I was expected even though they did not win. I assure that if they do more practice, Korea is the one of many countries people catching their eyes on. I feel really proud of Korea because Korea is a country form Asia.
In this passage, Korea took nearly 50 years to entrance Football World Cup. Huh Jung-moo, a former Korean football player and the former coached of the Korean national team, realized they had made mistakes and going to improve their skills on the next game. Once he said "One loss means it's over in a knockout bracket. Nobody knows the future because anything can happen. I am surely that they will do the best, and they are looking for higher goal." From what he said it shows that he is a good team's manager who always developed and supported his team.
To sum up, I quite impressed after I read the news. Even though Korea was not the winner, they never stopped improving themselves. They were a good teamwork and sportsmanship. These are some of the reason that why South Korea was done well in Football World Cup

The Skater of Japan Kim Yu-Na
Kim Yu-na is the first female skater to victory an Olympic games, the World championship, and the Four Continents championships. She is one of the most highly be familiar with athletes in South Korea. Not only Kim is an expert athlete, but she also is a very kind person. I am one of her big followers. Actually, I do not like any kind of sport but at the first time I saw Kim performing, I just cannot take my eyes off her. She got a very beautiful welcoming face and outstanding talents.
In this article, Kim Yu-Na got the assignment as UNICEF goodwill ambassador to develop children's life around the world. There are many kids around the world that still have a unpleasant quality of life such as children and families who were suffering form earthquake, flood and hurricane.
After I read this passage, I found that Kim Yu-Na is not only has a good looking, but she also has a kindness personality. Kim has been a bighearted giver. She has donated more than 83000 dollar won in previous three years. Not so many people can be like her and she is the best skater I had ever seen. I keep looking forward to see her fabulous performance again.
