INEVITABLE FEAR

I have some difficulty at speaking in front of

people. Since I was young once I had a chance to speak in front of many people, my pulse was getting faster and some times my face turned red. I was very nervous even when I was taking a simple vocaubulary test or indroducing myself. So whenever I had a presenation in class, my classmates used to say "Yeseon!! Don't be scared!! You can do it!!" Still, I have the problem with it. Whenever I have a chance to present in front of many people, I am very nervous.

But! I think I have to overcome this fear because my dream is being a teacher. Teachers have to speak well in front of the students. If a teacher always nervous, students will not be comfortable.And in Korea, giving a trial performance is one of the subjuects of teacher's exam. So to pass the exam and to become a good teacher, I have to get over it.

I know I have to overcome the fear but it is very difficult. Many people around me say experience will help me to remove my fear. And my brother also say it will be very helpful to take a class which has a presentation.

I have some classes which have presentation. I feel afraid of it but I hope all of the fears about presentation will go away by the time when I go back to Korea.

Tara's new year resolution

On December 31th, I made a list which I want to do in 2010. At first it was just about losing weight. But I think it is too weak. This is the thing which I have had ever since I gained weight.
I think I need more specific plan. It is exercise regularly and eat healthy food.


My brother and I planned together about exercising. He said he plays basketball on sundays, so we can play tennis on saturdays. I said I can cook healthy food for us. But any of the plans didn't worked yet. I think it is because I came here just a couple weeks ago and it took a long time to adapt to a new circumstances. So I didn't have time to exercise. Now, I already adapted. I think I can exercise from next week. (because my brother and I have a plan to travel this weekend.)

In addition to exercising, it is very important to eat healthy food. I'm trying to eat healthy food twice a day. But it is very difficult to eat healthy food every meal because it take a long time to make. From now on, to lose my weight and to strengthen my body I will try to eat healthy food more frequently and try to reduce eating out.

Imagining my figure which is very healty, I will carry on my plans.

Chance to know about Tara

Hi~~ As you know, I'm Tara. I think it is a great chance to know each other. I'm from Korea and I was undergraduate student in Korea. My major is English Education. But, I'm not good at English because I was a freshman in Korea. That is why I'm here.I want to improve my English. By this chance, I hope my English will be improved and I want to be a good teacher in Korea. And if I can do, after I graduate, I want to study TESOL here.

In Korea, My hobby was watching a movie. I went a theater once a week. After I came here, I've never been to a theater because I've lived here only two weeks. So I don' t know where a theater is. And furthermore, I can't drive. I think it will be hard to watch a movie here. I think that to see a movie, I have to have a drive licence.^^

NEXT~~!!
Let me introduce out classmate who I interviewed. She is~~ "Wendy~~!!"
I think she is a very nice girl. She is from Taiwan and she has been here about six months. She likes outside activity something like climbing a mountain. She likes outside activity very much so she wants to learn how to snowboarding. I think it's pretty cool. In addition, Wendy said she likes art. So When she was in Taiwan, she went art museum once a month.


Art-one of her favorite things- is related to her dream. In Taiwan, her major was finance. But she likes art very much. So she is considering studying art here. But she said she didn't decide yet. I hope she will study what she wants.

When I saw her first, I thought she may be very nice. and after I interviewed her, I realized that she is really nice.
I hope you everyone be a good friend with wendy and me^^
