It takes only 5 minutes by walk. Thanks to the park, the air is fresh and atmosphere is calm. My classroom is not very big, but cozy and comfortable. It is located on the 3rd floor. Therefore, through the window I can see big trees and playground. These days, however, because of the construction it is sometimes noisy. From my home I usually take a bus. It takes about 15 minutes to get there by bus. The bus stop is near my home and school. But there are not many buses in the morning time.

 

사람 묘사

For instance, we are both interested in light exercises. So we often talk about working out and our school lives. When I was a new teacher, I was in charge of making materials of school project. And she helped me a lot even though she was busy. I am still so thankful. She is short but has muscle. Her personality is very friendly especially to students. So I really like her.

 

테크놀로지

I use my computer the most freuqently. Since I teach the 2nd grade students, I have to make a lot of teaching materials like power points because they have visual effects. So a computer is very useful for me. I can download some templates on the internet. They even have good designs. All I need to do is to modify contents. Thanks to it, I can save my time and energy a lot. When I was a freshman I got my first computer. At that time it was the latest model so it was very expensive. The main differences between computers in the past and now are computers these days have wider screens and more facilities. However, there are some disadvantages of using computer. It is copyright problems. By using computer, it is much easier to copy and paste someone’s work.

영화

The last time I watched a movie is last week. I watched a movie, 레미제라블 on TV. It is based on novel and musical. Since I haven’t done it for a long time, I was very happy. I was so overwhelmed by the songs sung by actors and actress in the movie. I like 장발장 the most among characters, because he is honest and gentle. Compared to the movies in the past, movies these days are more realistic and detailed thanks to the advanced technologies.

These days, however, I want to learn something from movie so I like to watch all kinds of movies except horror movies because they are too scary. Especially I like to watch science fiction movies because I am not good at it and want to learn in fun way.

 

재미있게 본 영화

The last time I watched a move in the theater is 2 weeks ago. I watched 쿵푸팬더3 with my mother. Because I am not a big fan of animation and I was very tired, the movie was not interesting for me. I think it is not a good idea to watch movies in the early morning. However pandas were so cute, especially when they were kids. And I liked sound tracks. You should listen to them.

I firstly check reviews on the internet. So I can find which movie is great. Since the quality of movie is the most important for me. Second, I search coupons on apps. These days there are a number of coupons so I can get some discounts. Lastly, I select seats and book a movie on the app.
