The simple dirve license test

From on 10, the drive license test about function was simple. S course, T course and other 11kinds of tests were deleted. In addition, the distance was reduced from 700m to 50m and the test time was also reduced because there were no courses that were deleted in reality. Originally, the rate of success was between 50% and 60% at average but after the rule has been changed, the rate of success became over 95%. And the number of applicants was also increased from 174 to 240 at average so there was long waiting time. Another problem is the lack of work because the number of proctors was not enough. So there was celebration broadcasting continuously. Actually, all of applicants are able to pass the test easily.

I also had the drive license but I had the hard time to get that. If I had the test now, I could get the license easily. However, there was problem I think. People who can drive must have the good ability not to make a serious accident by practicing and taking the strict test. As the replacement way, applicants probably need to get the additional education in duty for themselves and other people.

Seven Eleven and Family mart

           In Korea, there are two big convenience stores. Seven Eleven and Family mart try to make customers satisfied by arranging goods efficiently. And there is also event like the big mart. When you buy event product, you’ll get one more product for free. They offer us discount if we have the discount card. Both of them have the same operation way. Some stores are managed by headquarter and others are affiliate.

           However, the background is different. Seven Eleven is one of the parts of LOTTE. On the other hand, Family mart is Bokwang. Actually, LOTTE is bigger than Bokwang. That’s why the discount rate is different. PB (Private Brand) is cheaper than NB (National Brand). In Seven Eleven, there are many PB so we can buy cheap products.

           I’m working at Seven Eleven as a part-timer to get a job so I’d prefer Seven Eleven to Family mart.

Point by Point (Jong-Ro and Tallinn)

In Jong-Ro, there is Changdeok Palace and in Tallinn, there are many buildings. Both of them are designated as a UNSECO world heritage property. They were built for the people who took a high place. So the high ranking officials always looked out the nation. In addition, buildings have remained although there were a lot of wars. Actually, Jong-Ro has just one building called as Changdeok Palace which is designated as a UNSECO world heritage property and this is very colorful. On the other hands, all of buildings which are in Tallinn are designated as a UNSECO world heritage property and these are dull.

Both of cities are good place for foreigners so it’s one of the best places as tourist attraction. The biggest main reason is that there is the opportunity to eat traditional food easily. And the cost is not expensive. In Jong-Ro, we can eat traditional food a lot beyond description because the owner gives us food continuously for free. It’s hospitality. However, in Tallinn, it’s impossible to eat a lot. There are no restaurants which serve food continuously for free.

Don’t carry out the special admission for Yeon Pyeong Island in the west sea

             All students want to have the good grade for entering the good university. There is no one who wastes the time. How just some people could get the advantage? All students make a effort beyond description. It’s like discrimination. Opening is limited. As a result, other area people who get the same grade with Yeon Pyeong people can’t enter the good university.

             Now a day, On-line system is very developed. Regardless of region, they will watch same programs. In addition many students living in Seoul sing up for the on-line program.

             The government decided to make up the power of military near Yeon Pyeong so North Korea won’t attack again. Actually, there is no point about distance. It’s similar from North Korea to Seoul or to Yeon pyeong because of developed weapons. As a result, Seoul is also dangerous area so they are qualified to get the advantage.

The special admission for Yeon pyeong Island in the west Sea.

At times, North Korea attacks South Korea. Especially, people living near the west sea get always damaged beyond description. As you know, recently, a shell set the fire to Yeon pyeong. It was like war. Finally, they try to leave there so there were no young people. As a countermeasure, the government has the plan to give them the special admission because they are living in bad situation in spite of same nation. If it happened, they would have more opportunity to enter the good university than other people. As a result, others disagreed.

Both of them say “Everyone should be same.” But one focuses on the same right of nation and the other is the same right of admission.

              I'm scared of dog. When I was young, my mother sent me on errand to buy coke. While I was running to the market, I ran into a dog. Suddnly, the dog followed me. So I dashed at full speed one round and entered into the builiding. I was almost died. Since then I don't like the dog.
