Korean High School Clubs: Lee Jeong Bin

My friend said that he participated in baseball club in the USA. I was surprised at Americas’s club system. In Korea, most high schools have many clubs. But it is just study even, middle school also has study club. 

I was part in study club all of my middle school life. But in the USA has many club such as music, sport, art, etc. Also Korea has its club but we can active just Wednesday and Saturday. Features of the club in Korea, they tend to significant study club because of the KSAT(수능). Oneday, I discuss about difference of club USA and Korea with my homeroom teacher. He did not go to USA. But he always talk to native teacher, so he can know system of USA club. He said that the biggest difference is most of students mainly active in the ARTS. But Korean students active for the study. Just in my opinion, Korea club systems is for education. If many clubs has in korea, many people want to part in this club. So they must be competition to enter club. Fail to enter the club, maybe they disappointed that they can't not join in the club. 

But korea does not have many clubs like USA. Surprisingly many people want to make clubs. But It is hard to make it. Because School makes list of club and students choose it. If we want to make club, the rule is very difficult like over some people, why we want to make it, and how to active like them. To make clubs is difficult. last USA and Korea have devote club. But korea need to time for school but USA just think devote for other people. I am so impressed. Like this there are many difference of club system. I hope that our country has more clubs and fun activities.

Introduction: Lee Jeong Bin

my fringe hair color
Hello, my name is Lee Jeong Bin. I have one older brother and two younger sisters. She is also Naju High School student. My hobby is listening to music. In Korea most of people like K-pop also many countries fascinated by it. But I don't like it. That's because their song's genre is very various but I just like ballad. So I like Park Hyo Shin 4men llike Korean vocallist. When I saw a drama name is Secret Garden I heard very good song as OST. I think their voice tone is special and have good skill, so I like them. Especialy my nickname is goldlicks because my fringe is browm. I don't know why it is. It was fun.
When I was middle school student, I participated in simillar project. This project is spread about Korea tradition and cultures. We used E-paL. But my friends and foreigners did not answer to our and it was not going well. So I dissapointed that if they were answer, I can reply about Korea.
Frankly speaking many foreigners don't know Korea maybe they just think China, Japan. incidentally many foreign people know SAMSUNG but don't know Korea. I'm so sad that I want to inform about Korea.
Also I want to discuss about big problem in the world. For instance Eygpt, Syria, economic and many politics. I want to know many foreigner's think and talk about it.
I'm so happy I can participate this project. l always do my best thank you.

Introduction: Min Seong KIM



My nickname is minxing, but I'm not chinese, I'm Korean.

I was born in Korea. I'm 18 years old now.

My duty is principal of speaking English club in Naju-High School.

I want to be a stewardess. Do you know that job? Yes, a stewardess is a business woman on an air plane.

Why do I want to be a stewardess? There are many reasons for me.

First, I like meet new people everyday or everywhere. I think that's cool.

When I meet new people anywhere, I said "HI" or "HELLO". That's a first step. And we share our names and personal information.

Finally, we are friends. Friend!! How interesting!

Second, I like speaking English and learning about other country's languages. I have been learning about Japanese and Chinese a little bit.

That classes are interesting for me.My Chinese and Japanese speaking ability is not good. But my purpose is just to learn about many languages.I need experience for languages.

Third, I'm tall. Just that. That's really good merit for me. Haha :)

Finally, how about make a new friend like me? You can help me to develop my English ability. And make a good stewardess friend! How awesome~

Will you be my great companion?

Introduction: Sarah Chen

Hi everyone!

My name is Sarah Chen, and I am a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant at Naju High School in Naju, South Korea. In June, I graduated from Princeton University, where I studied public policy and international affairs. I am loving my Fulbright experience so far, especially the opportunity to study Korean with 79 fellow new ETAs, my fantastic homestay family, and the welcoming students and teachers at my school. I am teaching twelve classes of first and second-years in high school, as well as the conversational English club class that is going to operate this blog for the next year.

We will blog in English every week. Some of the topics will be assigned, like this week's self-introduction, and others will be the students' choice. The aim is to practice our English and connect with readers from around the world, so thank you so much for helping us with the latter.

We hope you enjoy our writing, and please comment or e-mail us any time at najukidsintheww@gmail.com!

Here is a picture of me (center) with my Fulbright friends Amanda (left) and Marissa (right) at our Korean language graduation ceremony at Korea University.
