THE TTC STRIKE

The last weekend here in Toronto happened unexpected accident which was the ttc strike.Thereason why I picked this topic up is that I have never seen this kind of strike before . I have seen lots of companies went on a strike like motor car company , electricity and so on . But The tranportation company that go on a strike is not common issue .

Generally speaking ,It rare happen. Because The Tranportation company usually run under the goverment. But here in Toronto As far as I know they have run under the between goverment and private comapany . It can't give the definition to who run the ttc . One thing I am sure is that totally diffrent system as the other country .

This strike casued by they wanted to get more pension. It was good trying and I completely understood furthermore most of people seemed like they don't mind . But I think that's problem. Nobody complained like a to attack their web site , demo. To make matter worse they didn't give us any solution and any warning .

It is not ok for internatinal student . Especially asian student not only asian . Even they had the strike just about 1 week ago . They did again . It was shocked for me . They have just went on a strike 7 or 8 times . I'm not sure but give or take in a 10 times . Now I am going to describe what the difference is between canada and korea .

First , The tranprotation company in other country They run under the goverment and Even if they went on a strike , They would prepare some solution for citizen. Second , The reaction of people. I dare to say that Everything is going to be messed up like a chaos for example , To attack web site and too much make a phone call at their office and so on . Third , They usually have a physical fighting with police .

As I mentioned atmosphere of strike is totally different but these things are not 100% true .From what I can see , Canada has differ from korea . First , In spite of the fact that they are a public transprotation , they could go on a strike Because they have run under 50% goverment , 50% private company . Second , Canadian's reaction . Most of them just waited until they went back on the road .It was very impressed .

As I mentioned , there are lots of difference between Korea and Canada . It is not cultural gap . I guess that It is just system's difference . Whatever they do , I hope that they prepare a solution for people .

People should get married

All human beings are born into families, and families begin with the joining together of a man and woman in marriage. As you know, only men worked in the past. But, in the course of time, many people without gender distinction, have gotten a job. Nowadays they want to invest their money and life in themselves. It means that the number of people who don't wnat to get married is increasing. As far as i'm concerned, people have to consider the traditional, economic, and generational aspect of marriage, before determining that they don't want to get married. If you want my opinion, I think people should get married.


First of all, getting married is a very important tradition because it is one of the biggest events that we are able to have in our whole life. So, each culture has its specific traditional way of marriage. And the families of the couple are both involved in preparing the wedding for several months. Especially, in Asian cluture the couple needs the approval of their parents or of older people because they have more experience about marriage. Marriage is very significant for combining two families together. Tradition isn't an obligation, but I think it's valuable to maintain.


Secondly, we should think about the economic aspect of marriage because in the world there are many industries related to marriage. For example, when we want to get marriged we have to go to many places such as real estate, funiture shops, wedding shops, photo studios, and so on. And there are many products on the market for babies and children, who are the result of marriage. Since babies are the hope of our future a decrease in marriages would affect many industries in a negative way. It means decreasing marriage would affect many kinds of industries. So, it could lead to a decline in economy.


Moreover, less marriges would cause problems for the future generations. Many cultures have insisted on the importance of childlen from old times. For example, in China's case, the goal of marrige has been to produce healthy children. And some Bavarian people of southern Germany once had a "windowing" custom that took place when young women left their windows open at night so that young men could enter their bed rooms. When a woman became pregnant, the man usually asked her to marry him. (It's old-fashioned, but this culture shows the importance of children.) Also, in Korea we have a slogan about significance of children for the family. It's that "Children are the dream of the future."


In conclusion, if you think more about it, marriage is very important for our society. It could benefit the future in many ways. Therefore, all I want to say that people should get married.

Plastic Surgery

Many people continue to flock to doctors to improve theri appearance. From children to adults, their investment in plastic surgery gets increase. Also, by their demand for changing appearance, new skills of surgery has been released. Many advertisements of them are easily found in mass media, such as on the websites , TV, etc.

Plastic surgery is a speacil type of surgery that involve both a person's appearance and ability to body's fuction. We can distinguish the procedure for being reconstructive as a medical way from the procedure for being cosmetic. Reconstructive procedure is the way to correct defects on the face or body, including physical birth defects, injuries from burns and the aftermath of disease treatments like rebuilding a waman's breat after surgery for breast. In the other hand, cosmetic procedures focus on beauty that people want, because they are not satisfied with their own body.

The reason why people think about the plastic surgery with favor is involved with being confidence. Now in modern society, appearance is important thing in the cases such as job interviews, presentation to make a deal at works. Also having good-looking might be one of the peer presure. This is not only about reconstructive procedures but also cosmetic procedures.

In the case of reconstructive procedures, it helps repair significant defects or problems of our body. In the mass media, it shows some people who suffer from injuries after accidents. So sometimes the TV program urges people to danate money to have operation for people who suffer from damage by burns or medical treatment. We can see how hard injured people live. Therefore there is no the other way to recover their defects besides plastic surgery.

Having a plastic surgery leads people who are depressed or extreamly self-critical to solve the problems physically as well as emotionally. This is a more faster, effective with outstanding result of the surgery, and easier way to feel satisfied with our own appearance comparing to stick to a diet. Thus without excessively have an operation such as addict to plastic surgery, it is reasonable to encourage people to do it

Impulse buying

Most of girls like shopping to buy new things. Of course so do I. Because girls desire to be beautiful to other people. However, the problem is they can't stop buying something. For example, In my case I used to buy clothes or something when I fell in love the first sight. So, I spent money about $500 for a month. If I saved money, I would buy a new car. I should have saved money. And buying somethings buy using internet is comfortable to compare stuffs. But it's more dangerous for impulse buying. Because to buy somethings using internet have to wait for goods few days. We can't satisfy immediately. So, we buy something continually.

I wish I hadn't used internet shopping a lot. I saw documentary of a program which broadcasted Crazy Girls. She never stop buying something. She were always use internet shopping from in the morning to at night. She can't live normally. She also didn't take care herself, her baby and husband. That program suggested solutions. A doctor said whoever has that problem. If you felt moody and upset, you would be able to do that.

Here, there are some advices for you. First, take a list only what you need.Second, write a spending money diary. It's good for saving money. You can check buying something many times.At the last, please don't go outside you'd rather stay at home.
If we follow below notice, we can save money a lot.

Should we get married or not?

You may think about marriage occasionally or may not. There are no reasons
we have to marry and there're no reason we must not marry, either. There're lot's
of good and bad things when we got married or not.


When we didn't get married, we can have enough time to invest in our own life.
There're lot's of thing for ourselves like exercises, hobbies, study we want and
travel. But if we got married, we have to use our time to support our family.
As a result, we can't have enough time to make ourselves more developed.


We don't need to worry about complex things like children's education, relatives
by marriage. If we got married, we must have relationship whether it is simple
or complex. As our children grew up, we have to save more money to educate
them and have to prepare their marriage.


If we didn't get married, we could do anything we wanna do without someone's
permission or agreement. Whenever there is a something we want to learn,
whenever we wanna travel good places, and whenever we decided to do something,
we can choose them and can learn them. All things are just up to you whether you
want to do that or don't want to do that.


Otherwise, we are apt to spend our life whitout plan and goals without marriage.
If we got married, we could get partner and could have a common goals to achieve.
That makes our will more strong and make more easiler to acchive goals. But when
we're living alone, there is no one concern about our life while sometimes it was going
to wrong way.

And without marriage, we might feel lonely when we need a real partner or need some
help through our life. sometimes we may be so sick that we might need someone who care for us while we're sick and sometimes we might want a parter with whom want to talk andto drink.

Anyway, there are plenty of bad or good things concerned with marrioage. Sometimes we
might feel happy and from time to time, we might feel sad because of marriage. Whether we got married or not, it doesn't matter to live but we have to choose because there is certainly good season to marry. If you want to some children, you have to marry less than 35 years for you and your child's health. Most of people who're already got married used to talk us about their marriage, however most important thing is our decision. we should think carefuly and should choose for our better life.

About a student'uniform

Let me introduce my topic. I want to augue about a student uniform.Do the students need to wear a uiform? In my opinion, they don,t have to wear a uniform.If they wear their everyday
clothes, they can execise their personality. but, most students have to wear a uniform. their's life is made simplication by wearing a uniform.precisely, why the students have to wear a uniform?
we can know the school where they attend is only advantage. so, I think, they dont' have to wear a uniform.

Though, some people think like this. They have to wear uniform. Because they are student. But, I don't agree with them. I think the reason dosen't be clear.

The meanings of Dreams


Everyone dreams while their sleeping. Some dreams are unforgettable because it makes an impression on people's mind. Sometimes people can predict something is going to happen to them after they dreamt because they believe each dream and things which appears in their dreams has meaning. There are many those things in Korea.

One of the examples is about pregnancy and birth. Women or their relatives dream about babies' sex and general personalities when they are pregnant. It is not shown clearly but just implied. For example, when my mom had a baby in her womb, actually it's me, she dreamt of many snakes and one of them came toward her. Generally, snakes mean that the woman who is pregnant will give birth to a female baby.

Another example is about death. If a person dreams about he/her lose his/her teeth, it means someone he/she knows will die. If a person sees someone is riding on a palanquin decorated with flowers, it's a Korean traditional palanquin and on wedding day, a bride rides it to go to groom's house, it means someone on it will die.

The other example about luck. If you see a big fire in your dream, it means you have a stroke of good luck.

Sometimes these things are correct but not every time. In my opinion, people feel something unconsciously and their dreams reflect their feeling. However, Something we can not explain exists.

The benefit of plastic surgeory

Let me introduce my topic . It has been a hot issue in all over the world . not only my country but also the other country . Why do people want to have it? There are some reason that i have guessed . Before I explain about it . I introduce about what kind of plastic surgeory we can have .

Here are some examples . nose , eyelid , tooth , jaw , outline of the face , skin , hair transplant , remove the hyperdemic fat and so on . I'm afraid that i put the other things . As I mentioned , there are so many surgeory . I can say that all of our body put on the plastic surgeory's range .

The reason why I have been side on the positive is that it hides our weakness . People don't want somebody to know their weakness. Especially about their appearance ! If somebody ask me " is it ok that your girl freind or your wife had a plastic surgeory ? " I will say " yes " . Because it doesn't matter at all .

People who don't want to support the plastic surgeory might insist that there are serious side effect . It's true and I agree to it . But this kinds of side effect usually happen to people who had so many times plastic surgeory. I think it's not everybody's problem. Let me put it another way .I'm not saying " we gotta go to hospital.

Furthermore these days The appearance's importance has been incresing . Everywhere to meet people like a cafe , restaurant . Everybody cares their appearance . Even the company . At the moment of having the job interview !

That's why I agree to it . I think to have a plastic surgeory at your weakness make you confident and competitive . I will make sure about that . I can't give the definition about having it . But To have it put you on totally different life ever than before .

Junk food


Before the introduction, I'd like to talk with you about the definition of junk food. The food that is quick and easy to prepare and eat but that is thought to be bad for your health. It's the definition. As it said, it might be injurious to health. So let's talk about all sorts of junk foods.


According to critics, unhealthy food includes elements of cultural influence and moral judgement. For example, in North America, fast food, such as hamburgers and French fries supplied by companies like McDonald, KFC and Pizza Hut are often perceived as junk food. On the other hand, some foods that are considered ethnic or traditional are not generally considered junk food. Though all of these foods have little nutritional value and are high in fat from being fried in oil.


Awareness on junk food facts is lacking in every corner of the society. Junk food and children have a strong affinity to each other. This is partly so owing to junk food advertising. Clever junk food advertising and the lure of convenience in addition to taste get people to junk food addiction.


There are reasons to eat junk food. It is easy to purchase, requires little or no preparation. In addition, it is convenient to consume and has lots of flavor. The reason why someone who has a job does not have the enough rime to cook. The people tend to prefer to cook or eat junk food. Therefore, we can reduce to cooking time. That means we can have extra time.


People who eat junk food could have had a problem. Here are some junk food facts that help you understand the harmful effects of eating them. Some of them are long-term effects while other are short-term effects. Junk foods do not provide you with essential nutrients. Consumption of junk food has been associated with obesity, heart diseases and dental cavities.


When thinking about consideration to the health, in conclusion, we should have to quit eating junk foods and do not let children to get habituated to junk foods. Controlling children from eating junk foods in schools is another step that helps in a long-term. Schools administration along with parents has a responsibility to educate children about junk foods in schools. Besides developing awareness for fitness which helps you separate junk foods and diet from your regimen.

Do we need school uniform?


I’m going to talk about school uniforms. When I was in my country, I used to wear a school uniform. I’ve worn the school uniform for 6 years. At that time, “Do I need school uniform? I wish I could wear what I want to wear!” I thought. Because in winter it would be too cold and in summer it would be too hot to wear school uniforms. Students were negligent in dress. Some girls shorten their skirts too much. Some boys wear their pants taking down. Every time the teachers found this kind of situation, they used to scold. Same as my country, I think many countries have school uniforms in high school and junior high school. Why do we need school uniform? It’s kind of the control, isn’t it?

However, a school uniform is sometimes good. Imagine you had a school uniform, you could sleep about 10 minutes longer in the morning. Because you need not to think about which clothes you should wear. The 10 minutes in the morning have a big worth. If you could sleep about 10 minutes longer, you would feel better.Uniforms can also help to identify outsiders within a school. Drug dealers would have to wear uniforms in order to be able to roam the school grounds without being spotted.
But I feel that there are more bad points than good points. First, school uniforms inhibit student's individuality. We can also say that school uniforms will lessen children's individualism and creativity. Students have very little say in the daily routine of their lives, so deciding what to wear is one of the methods students have to control their lives. School uniforms will take away this form of expression. Why school districts try to make everyone look the same? Second, there is the issue of cost. Many parents can stop for their children's clothes at used and discount stores. School uniforms can cost more money than these families mighr be able to afford. Also these students would need to buy additional clothing to wear after school and on the weekends and holidays. That's double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the school uniforms. And school uniforms are expensive but they have no use outside of the school.
Here is another problem. There is the opinion that school uniorms also help to erase lines between the social classes. Since all students will be dressed alike, it will be impossible to tell the difference from a student from a low income family and one from a high income family. But is it good thing? Don't weave to revolt the difference between lower income and higher income?

Junk Food

How doesn't like fast food? Almost everyone of us likes it, maybe because of its flavor, its convenience or just because of the price. But what we don't realize when we're eating this food, is that it's no healthy at all. When we talk about fast food, also known as junk food, we're talking about unhealthy food, food with poor nutritional value. This junk food contains high levels of saturated fat, sugar, or salt and numerous food additives; and at the same time it's really lacking in protein, vitamin and fiber.



Due to the capital requirements to start a fast food restaurant are relatively small, individually-owned fast food restaurants have become common throughout the world. Making the fast food industry one of the most franchised industries. Just in the United States, consumers spent about US$142 billion on fast food in 2006. That's a lot of money, and a lot of food!. And that's only for the fried fast food, junk food also includes salted snack foods, candy, gum, most sweet desserts and carbonated beverages. Generally, they offer little in terms of protein, vitamins or minerals and lots of calories from sugar or fat. This snacks and candies has also became a large industry, generating a lot of money every year.




Like I said before, the reason why this kind of food is so popular all over the world is because it is easy to purchase, requires little or no preparation, is convenient to consume and has lots of flavor. But it also has its bad side, the consumption of this kind of food has been associated with obesity, heart disease, diabetes and dental cavities. Recent studies, show us that about 177 million children and teenagers under 18 years old all over the world are overweight or obese.

Therefore, we should have to quit or at least reduce the eating of junk foods and don't let children to get habituated to this type of food. Controlling children from eating junk foods in schools is another step that would be very helpfull. Schools administration along with parents have the responsibility of educate children about junk foods in schools.
