Unit 2: What's more important; taste or nutrition?
Frankly speaking, because i am young yet, i think taste is more important than nutrition. Because first, i didn't feel that my body is unhealthy. And even though i took care of nutrition, i didn't feel i'm getting healthy. Also, food that is not tasty is avoided to eat. When i have to eat something, i choose what i want to eat. Usually, what i want to eat is tasty. So i think taste is more important.
Oh Se In, M/W 5,6
U2; What's more important. Taste or nutrition?
I think taste is more important than nutrition. Since when we eat some food we savor the food and don't think about what this food contains. If the food is tasty we just eat alot and still when we eat it works balanced in our body.
Choi Jaeyeun, M/W 3.4
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I think change is good thing. I know that change can be hard and uneasy. But it helps us to create an ability to adapting in new enviroments or situation.
Lee Inyoung, M/W 5,6
Unit 2: What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think nutrition is more important than taste. We eat to survive. We need nutrients to stay healthy. If we only eat tasty but not nutritious food, such as junk food, we become unhealthy. For this reason, I prefer healthy and untasty food than tasty junk food.
Kim Eunjin, M/W 3,4
Unit 1 : Are first impressions accurate?
No, I don't think so. Because it can be changed. To give you an example, I can tell you about one of my friends. When I first met her, I thought that she is rude and immoral person. But I became intimate with her more and more. At that time, I recognized that she is kind and friendly. She gets along with everyone. So, my first impression about her wasn't correct. That's why I think that first impressions are not accurate.
Lee Jisoo, T/Th 3,4
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I think change is bad. First, it's difficult to adjust new things and new people. Second, it takes a long time to adapt. It can be stressful. Finally, change can be regretful. If the change is not satisfying with you, you probably regret that change and it also be stressful. So I think change is not always good.
Lee Seul gi, T/T 3,4
Unit 1. Are first impressions are accurate?
I don't agree. Every one think I am silent person at first time, but they think I am activitu after being with me for a while. Also, I can tell about my friend as an example. She was looked like a person who pretends to innocent, but now I know that she is not. She was just concentrate at something and it made me misunderstand like that. So, I don't think first impressions are not accurate.

Unit 2: What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think nutrition is more important than taste. The reason we taste delicious foods is we want to be more happy by eating. And the reason we take healthy food is also for happiness. However, delicious foods just offer temporary happiness, and it usually not good for our health. For example, junk foods are very delicious, but it can ruin our health. While nutrition-balanced foods are usually not delicious, but it is good for our health. As we take them, we can be healthy and pursue long-term happiness.
Seo Su kyung , M/W 3,4
Unit 3: What can we learn from success and failure?
We can learn a lot from success and failure. I think especially failure, we can learn a lot. Because success is just success. But from failure, we can know what we change and what is wrong. Every people who succeed on their own, they have adversities. They have their failure, but they don't give up. They try to figure out what they have to change. We don't afraid failure. It's all in the mind. We just accept failure and try to overcome.
Choi Hye in ,T/TH 3,4
Unit3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
I can learn a confidence from success. I spur my ability to go on to the next success. In other words, I keep going on my work which I did to be on the top. For instance, when a person get the best prize on their work, the person wants to do better job on the next time and keep studying more harder. The success which is the best prize can be the booster for his effort. On the other hand, the failure can be the step-stone for success. We can have time to self-examination what I did wrong and had to put more effort on. I agree with the saying the failure is the mother of success.
You Sohee, T/Th 3,4
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I disagree this topic. Maybe first impressions are accurate, but it is really rare. Almost, the first impressions to someone is wrong. NO one can judge someone just one meeting, even the person makes an angry face. He may have bad matters that moment, for instance, got a sick, failed an exam or broken up his girlfriend. And first impression makes a stereotype. So, people always see badly every his action, whether it is good or not. But soon most people find he is a nice person and regret what they did. For this reasons, all we have to don't believe first impressions too much.
Lee Yearim, M/W 5,6
Unit 3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
I think we can learn something from success and failure. If I had some success, due to the confidence it can get. Also, I might get a sense of accomplishment while trying to succeed. But if I fail, it will be experienced by blocking other mistakes. Even when some other work courageously without fear of failure will be able to do other things. "Failure is the mother of success" like the word, failure and success are sure to think that together.
Jung Seyeong, M/W 3,4
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
In my opinion, I think that first impressions are not accurate because of my experience. For me, I'm always displeased with strangers. I was very quiet when I was with people whom I first met, and I felt hard to ask questions about them. Also, they thought I am very quiet and unfriendly. However, when I became close with my new friends, I talked a lot with them and I became very loud. My friends said that my character was different with my first impressions they had about me. I think many people have similar experiences like me. Due to my experience, I think first impressions are not accurate.
Jo Ye-eun, M/W 5,6
Unit 1: Are first impressions are accurate?
I think first impressions are not accurate because of two reasons.
First, we can't judge a person fully at first. For example, my friend looks like not kind so people mind talking to her at first. But she is really kind and open minded person in fact.
Second, first impressions are changeable. Let's suppose I had a meeting with a man. The man looked kind and very attrative at first. But, as time goes by, I knew that we have different hobby and different viewpoint , and we are very different. So later, I thought he is not attractive. After meeting, if someone ask me how he is, I will tell them he is not nice though his first impressions were good.
Consequently, because first impressions are changeable and we can't judge a person fully at first, first impressions are not accurate.

Kim Sangmin, M/W5,6
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I don't think that first impressions are accurate. I'll tell you about Dongyup who moved to a different class. He is a same department with me. Therefore, I knew him before this class. But we were not a friend, just knew face each other. I first saw him at a department orientation. His face was scary and his action was also tough. He was not my style to be a friend. When I met him in this class, I was so panic that I wanted to move a different class. However, when I sat a same table with him, I found a hidden charm of him. He was funny and a good boy. He was my style. Though he moved to a different class, it was very fun to listen to lesson with him. I miss him sometimes.
Chang Moonhee M/W 3,4
Unit 5 : Are we responsible for the world we live in?
I think that we responsible for the world we live. We all do what we have to do. For example we go to school, line up in complicate with people, recycling, police take care of our safety, teacher teach us to help develop our knowledge. I think work for yourself is finally for we all. I think doing your work hard is responsible for the world we live.

Park Yeonkyung ,T/Th 3,4
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
No. I think they are not accurate. For example my best friend's first impressions were not good. When I met her first at a high school, she frowned her face all day and she talked bluntly. So i thought that she unsatisfied her first highschool classmates. And also i thought she is not nice person. But after talked with her, i realized that she was just nervous and shy. Now i know that she is very nice and lovely person. My guess was totally wrong. Through my experience i think first impressions are not accurate.
Kim Yonghee, M/W 5,6
Unit2: What’s more important: taste or nutrition?
Nutrition is more important than taste in my opinion. I have two reasons for this opinion. The first reason is nutritious food make my body balanced. When I eat junk food which has not nutrition value, I put on weight. Besides, I feel my body is not good and healthy. I get so fat, as a result, I lose my confidence and eat more and more so I’m caught in a vicious circle. In contrast, when I eat nutritious and balance food, I lose weight and have a healthy body. Then, I gain self- confidence. Second reason is nutrition food does not mean tasteless. For instance, scrambled eggs, kimchi, apple, orange and samgyetang, these foods are tasteless? I think it’s not. For these reasons I think nutrition is more important.
Chloe(Park Subin), M/W 5.6
Unit 2:What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think taste is more important than nutrition. Before answering why it is, I want to ask of you one question. Do you want to eat something just for nutrition, even though it taste so terrible? I think most people say "No!". Most people eat food for their satisfaction. For satisfaction, they seek for tasty foods that they want such as chocolate, cake, pizza and so on. When we eat some dishes, we don't consider what nutrient is contained in that. We just enjoy the flavors and keep eating them. While we do repeatedly, our body works to maintain the balance of nutrition automatically. This being so, we don't have to consume food only for nutrition despite its bad flavor.
Lee Hae-kang, T/Th 3,4
Unit 5:Are we responsible for the world we live in?
Yeah~ Of course! We must have responsibility about the world. Today, the Earth is contaminated by gas and trash that human made in factory and household. So, we have to diminish a pollutant for the Earth we live in. For example, in household, we should try to recycle the trash. Next, we should try to decrease our trash and wasted water and so on... In factory and plant, they must install the sanitation facilites. Thus, we must have responsibility about the Earth so that it will be not contaminated by pollutant any more.
Im HeeJin , M/W 5,6
Unit2: What’s more important: taste or nutrition?
I think taste is more important than nutrition.
For example, garlic has many nutrients: vitamin, glutamic acid, calcium, etc. But its smell is strong, so many people avoid it.
Thus even if healthy foods have many good nutrients, people don't eat them.

Unit 1: Are first impressions are accurate?
I think first impressions are not accurate.
First, we know the proverb that don't judge a book by its cover.
It is not easy to judge a person at once.
Because we doesn't know a person, so we must have a time to know about him.
For example, someone's first impressions are not good at first, but it have a possible to change later. If someone doing a favor for you, someone's first impressions is change.
Second, situations and background makes error.
For example, if someone's feeling bad, you may think he is depressed person.
Like this, situations and background makes error to first impressions.
So i think first impressions are not accurate.
Lee Hong joo, T/F 1,2
Unit 2 : What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think, taste is more important than nutrition. Of course nutrition is important, too. But when we consume something disgusting, we will feel bad. And when we eat something delicious, we feel happy. Flavor is present happiness and nutrition is future happiness.
But people usually pursue present happiness. So, I think flavor is more important than nutrition.

Unit 4 Is change good or bad?
My opinion for this topic, change is bad. I don't like change. Change almost causes troublesome. Some people enjoy to treat toublesome, but I hate adapt to new surroundings. I hadn't worked at resraurant before. At the first time, I worked at restaurant. And after few weeks, I wanted to do the new things. So I started to make a pizza. But I maked some mistakes, after all fire breaked out at fire pot. It made smoke and I fell into a panic. Later, the fire went out and I cleaned all fire pot. The incident was over, but I still remember the feeling that smoking at the fire pot. Because of these experiences, I don't want to experient hard things and hate to feel like helplessness. I feel relief when I work just a familiar job. That's why I don't prefer 'change'.
Han Ji - Yeon, T/F 1,2
Unit 4 : Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. In my experience for example, when i started at a new university i met new people and had to adapt to new place. I suffered a lot to adapt to new surrounding but i was excited to be in new groups. Last year at high school, i only have to do study and can't play with my friends. But this year in university, i can play when i want and i can be where i want. Though i can't see my high school friends but i'm enjoying happy days now. From this experience, i think changing something is better than staying where i was or where i have been.
T/F 1,2 Park Ga-eun
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
In my onpinion, change is good for our life. I like to meet new friends, and go to new place etc.. Because, we can release our stress from same life everyday by traveling somewhere, or one day trip to place close from your home, but cannot go easily. And by changing things in our life, we can learn many things. Such as what job is best fit for me, which hobby I have, and what I can do best. Then, we can live more happy by finding things which is good for me. So, these are why I think change is good for our life.
Cho Ah-Young, M/W 3,4
Unit 5. Are we responsible for the world we live in?
Yes, we are. We are responsible for the world we live in. When we ignore the responsibility of the world, the world can not develop. On the contrary, the world will be destroyed. To give an example, only few days ago, a passanger ship with 400 people sank. Many people could not be rescued. But the very beginning, captain of a ship was rescued. He did not be responsible for his ship. So many people die or be missing. Because of his irresponsible action, the final results are terrifying. Like this, when we are irresponsible for the world, it will eventually lead to a catastrophe. Therefore individuals are responsible for the society we live in. It is not difficult. We should take more responsibility for our behavior, which is a good thing.
Ryu ji-in, T/F 1,2
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I absolutely change is good for us.
Change can make us mature people. Through change, we experience various environment, people and many challenge. In that new areas, we repeatedly make mistakes, be often blamed by people, and it makes us think about ourselves deeply. In that stage, We evaluate our talent, achievement and change our selves again in accordance with situation. We learn many thing from continuous change. Therefore, we have power to not be afraid failure and rather make our failure a steppingstone to success. So, I think change is necessary to live our life consciously.
Youn tae-hong M/W 3,4
Unit 4. Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. It is very difficult to adapt to changes in our ilfe. But it is where we can learn how to adapt to the new environment and we need to adapt to a lot of effort. So we get a lot of patience and Sociability, etc.
Kim Jeong in, T/F 1,2
Unit1.Are first impressions accurate?
I think first impressions are very important. Because when we meet person first , we see his or her impressions like facial expressions, clothes, personality, and so on. All of things like these influence our thinking of that person and keep going when we meet that person again. We know what kind of person we meet through them. Of course, first impressions can change but they change a little or not.
Lee Eun-mi, M/W 3,4
Unit 1. Are first impressions accurate?
I think that first impression is not accurate. Because i underwent that first impression isn't always accurate. For example, i met a man and i thought he seemed a bit strange. However, when it was rainy day, friend and i didn't have umbrellas, so we couldn't go to home. At that time, he gave us umbrellas. He came to where we waited him and just gave us umbrellas! I'm sorry that i thought he was a strange and rude person. Like this, first impression can change by knowing about that person who we met.
Yoon Soyoon, M/W 3,4
Unit 1. Are first impressions accurate?
No. Well, the first impression can be quite important. We all get first impression of a new person that creates a mental image of his or her personality. It can sometimes form an accurate representation of the person, depending on the person being observed. But I don’t think that first impression is accurate. We should know the fact that it is short-lived in our mind. Also it doesn’t have a lasting effect on relationships between people. I can explain my opinion using my experience. I met him in this subject class, Academy English class, two years ago. My first impression about him wasn't all that great. In the first class, He was wearing a department uniform which was written ‘department of acting and art’. Through seeing his uniform, I knew his major and was aware that he is distant to me because of my conflicting major, Business management. I also saw him as a quiet and indifferent person. But, his personality was the total opposite of my first impression. He is always kind and considerate. He is such a charmer and has a sense of humor. So, he always makes me laugh. I go steady with him as my boyfriend in the present. If I think his first impression, I did not expect to meet him at all as we are now two years. Now, our couple is the perfect match.
Nope. That’s ridiculous. How do we know all of him or her at once? Anytime, Impression can be changed. When I met my now Univ. friends at first, honestly, I don’t like their first impression. and I think I will have difficult to be friendly friend with them because of their character. But, Now I’m fine with my friends now. So, Because of my experience, I think first impression is not accurate. In addition, I think This judging is very dangerous.
Hwang Jiseon, M/W 3,4
Unit3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
Success, of course, it is respectable and honorable. But I think we can learn more from failure than success.
It is no wonder that we fail at something. Also, failure is natural because we are human. That's why everyone can fail at first time.
In order to success, we have to experience failure. From the experiences, we can learn how to solve the problems.
It is essential to accept the failure and to know what is wrong and what is the problems. To know the reason of the failure is really important thing to do.
We have to keep trying our best to solve the problems.
And then, when we do it again, we can cope with them and we will not repeat the same mistakes.
Failure makes us more able to go one step close to success.
Son,Seung Wan,M/W 5,6
Unit2.What's more important:taste or nutrition?
I think nutrition is more important than taste. Because fast food and quick snacks are bad for our health. They are delicious. But there are some secrets in these foods. First, these foods contain sugar or salt. Sugar is the reason of obesity and salt is the reason of high blood pressure. Also MSG is another bad factor. MSG is chemical seasoning. This infects our nervous system and our skin.Therefore, we should eat nutritious and natural foods.
Seo Yeji, M/W 5,6
Unit 1. Are first impressions accurate?
I think first impressions aren't accurate. For example, a man who is really kind and friendly. When the man shows unfriendly behaviors, because he's just bad mood that day. In that day, you see the man so you think he's unfriendly person.
Ha, Taegyoung, M/W 5,6
Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. Everything changes. The only constant is change. At last we all go through change and experience something new. The more we get, the more we can see from world. The reason why generously, older people can make better choice than young guys is because of their diverse experience caused from change. And that's why I think change is good. It makes us a wiser people.
Shin seong yong, M/W 3,4
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I agree with the idea of Yoon soyoon. I also don't think it's accurate. And i think we should not judge the person by the first impression. Because, as you know, there are no person who reveals their personality at a first met. I'm like this. When i met person at a first time, i speak quietly and listen carefully. But, when i'm with friend, i speak loudly and also do some jokes. Moreover, when we judge a person by a first impression, the person can get bruise. Let's think about the man that has scary-looking but soft hearts. Every time there is a first encounter, the partner thought negative about him. And it would be a complex to him. In conclusion, like these case, the first impressions are not accurate.
T/F 1,2 Beack Ji-won
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
In my opinion first impression sometime is not accurate. When I met friend firsttime, I think her first impression is kind, quite, calm and so on. But when I become close friend with her, I realized that my frist impression is wrong. She was not calm and not quite. She was noisy, loud, like playing. Actually, first impression is almost correct. In my case, my friends get wrong impression of me at first. So, I think frist is not always accurate.
won seon , T/Th 3,4
Unit3: What can we learn from success and failure?
In world every people growing by failure and success.
In success they can learn happiness, sense of accomplish and their ability. These are really interesting that's why all of people want success. In this point of view success have only good things and failure is opposite. But I think failures make successes. For example Edison invented lightbulb and his successful invention makes him famous. But behind his accomplish he tried over than 1,000 times to make bulb. This example can prove that failure gives us foundation of success!
Park Se-jin, M/W 5,6
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. Well, In my case, I changed my major field from dance to study. I don't regret because I was sure on my decision. If someone decides something very important and he is sure about that, he needs to keep that way. Because I think If someone will regret with something changed, his regret because of "He did that." is better than regret because of "He never tried before, and just dreamd..". And that's why I think change is good, and it's my motto also..
HWANG SEUNGHWAN, T/F 1,2
UNIT4 : Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. Then why is change good? Because there is lots of advantages about change. For example, change provides us with opportunity to meet new world. In this process, we can experience new things and learn what i don't know. Also change helps us see the world various view. As a result, we become mature and grow higher level. We have power to struggle problem. For this reason, i think change is positive.
Shin Dong Jin, M/W 3,4
Unit 1 : Are first impressions accurate?
We form an impression of other by his or her behavior and trait. While doing this, we don't have enough information and time to judge the person. So, commonly it may be an obscure image, which can be distorted. And that's why we sometimes think that our first impression about someone was wrong. Because of this, first impression is not accurate.
Lim Subin, T/Th 3, 4
Unit 3: What can we learn from success and failure?
I think there are many things to learn from success and failure. For example, there are many kinds of success such as passing an exam, getting the job I want, achieving the dream, making much money and gaining wealth and honor. Passing an exam gives people confidence and a sense of achievement, so we can learn mental development. Getting the job that I want and achieving our dreams give our confidence a boost and increase self-esteem. As with making a lot of money and gaining wealth and honor increases our social status, we can live a better life than the past. But by experiencing failure, we look back ourselves and take time for self-examination. Thus, as time goes we can grow once more.
Jeong Yun-Seon, T/F 1,2
Unit 2: What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think nutrition is more important than taste. Something that we eat is composition of our health. So nutrition is important. If one food is delicious, but there are no beneficial nutritions, It is not good for health. For example, junk food's taste is good, but there are so many unhealthy nutritions. So junk food causes heart diseases, adult disease etc. Also, foods that have good nutritions are almost good for taste. These are why I think nutrition is good.
Ku, Ryuna, M/W 3.4
Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I don’t think first impressions are accurate because of my experience. I saw one of my sister’s friends walking alone. I noticed her because I saw her in my sister’s photo. I thought she would be shy, quiet and speak in a low voice all the time. One day, several weeks later, I had a chance to meet her. She said hello to me with high-pitched voice. She was smiling and talked with huge gestures. She was different from what I thought first about her. I really think first impressions are inaccurate. We can’t judge someone at first glance.
Lee Ju Young, T/Th 3,4
Unit 1. Are first impressions accurate?
No, I don't think first impressions are accurate. Because some people hide their real character. For example, my best friend. When I met her first time, she looks like angry. But when I started talking to her, she treated me so kindly and friendly. I was really surprised, and I was so sorry to her. It was my mistake. Because of this case, I regret myself. And now, I think we should think in those people's sides. People show their fake character. We shouldn't judge them with only the appearance that they show us.

Ryou Jaesung, M/W 3,4
Unit 3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
I think we can learn a lot of things from success and failure. First, we can learn what we do for next opportunity. Let us think about taking an exam. If we get satisfactory grade, we can think 'Oh, I got a good grade. I'm so proud of me. Next time I will study like this time!'. And if we get poor grade, we can think 'Oh my god, I must study harder than this time.'. Like these cases, both success and failure can give us direction for next chance. Finally, we can get confidence from success. For example, I like playing basketball. But when I was middle school student, my basketball skill was poor. So I practiced shooting everyday with my friend. I got confidence every time when I scored a goal. And I got energy to practice harder. Like this case we can get confidence from success.
Miran, Min T/F 1,2
Unit 4 : Is change good or bad?
I think change is good in physiologic aspect. Because people continue to exist with many changes. Adaptation of body is also an example of change. People of polar regions can bear the cold better than people of the equator. The reason of this is that each of their body changes with each environment.
Also, I think change is good in developmental aspect. Unless we have developed vaccine, we may have the bad quality of life and our lifespan may be shorter.
For these reasons, I think change is good.
Woo Jeongmin, T/F 1,2
Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I think change is good. There are many advantages from being changed.
First, when we change our place, we can grow up ourselves and make new friends. In unfamiliar place, we don't have anyone to depend. Therefore we have to do ourselves. While doing that, our spirit of independence is already grown. Also it's new place, we can meet diverse people and get friend.
Second, by changing our appearance, we can be refreshed. Imagine that you can't change your appearance like hairstyle, clothes etc. Everyday your same and same. It's not exciting, is it? That's the reason people change their appearance when they want to forget something or refresh their mind.
In these two reasons, I think change is positive thing.
Lee, Nanyoung, M/W 3,4
Unit 2 : What's more important; taste or nutrition?
I think nutrition is more important than taste.Because nutrition is way more worthy than taste for our health. If we eat well balanced diet, we can take lots of precious nutrition from it like Vitamin C from vegetables. But if we eat food only for good taste, let's say we eat McDonald frequently, we will probably take big amount of fat. Also it's easy way to be fatty and unhealthy.
Good taste is important for sure, but we must remember that being healthy is the first thing we must consider.
Kim Yunji, T/F 1,2
Unit 2. What's more important : taste or nutrition?
I think taste is more important than a nutrition.
If I eat tasty food with pleasure, that is a nutritious food.
And, If I eat really nutrious but don't want to eat is not a nutritious food. When I feeling bad, one chocolate bar is better than bitter herbal medicine, even that has more nutrition. So I think taste is more important.

Choi, Hyoungsun, M/W 3,4
Unit 3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
What can we learn from success and failure? I think this question has a very simple answer. Failure doesn't mean fail or giving up. It means another chance to do something until you succeed. I also had many failures to my dream. My dream was becoming a swimmer but I had less physical condition than other students. My coach told me to give up. But I didn't I kept on practicing, practicing, practicing all day long. And finally I had a chance to attend the competition. Unfortunately I couldn't get a medal but still, I succeeded becoming a swimmer and at that time it felt really great.
Seon young, M/W 3,4
Unit 3. What can we learn from success and failure?
We experience lots of success and failure in life. We all want to success because it makes us happy and proud. But we can learn many things from failure more than success, I think. So what can we learn from failure?
First of all, we can fine problems. If we notice why we fail, we can try it again. Of course, it needs self-examination before.
Second, we can have wider outlook on the world. When we concentrate on something, we often miss anything else. If we overcome failure, we can get wider outlook.
Of course, we can learn many things from success. For example, we can get confidence and a sense of fulfillment from success. What I`m trying to say is failure is not only a bad thing. It`s important to remember the failure and overcome it, not dwell on it.

Unit 1 : Are first impressions accurate?
I think first impressions are important. First of all, first impression means not only appearance but also attitude and facial expressions. Secondly, it remains for a long time. For example, there is a man who sends a message and plays a game with his cellphone while you talk. You will make decision that he is a rude person because he pays no attention to your speech. Smiling or nodding your head will give a favorable impression. For these reasons, first impressions are accurate.

Unit3 : What can we learn from success and failure?
We are going to many choice when We live. That choices bring lots of results like a success and failure. Whatever it happens, we can learn many things from success and failure.
For example, failure in experiment can give new source of error and rarely it can find new phenomenon that it isn't existence before. And failure makes person more mature, because we are going to deep thinking.
In case of success, we become more confident. Success person has proud of oneself. It makes lively,happy and fulfilled life.
So I think we can learn many things from success and failure.

Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I disagree with that first impression are accurate.
I'm not considerably influenced by that first impressions.
Even if there is a man who looks like rude, melancholy, or lively person, we will know that when we make friends with the man, the man is not the same with first impression.

Unit 2. What's more important : taste or nutrition?
I think taste is more important than nutrition. First, if I eat something delicious, I feel satisfied. So, our body thinks this food is good to me and good for our body. But, if I eat something that I don't like, our brain and body think this food is bad thing to me. Eating for only nutrition is very stressful to anyone. Whatever is good, is good. If we care about everything like nutrition, taste, calorie, it's so exhausting. So I think taste is more important than nutrition.

Unit 3 : What we can learn from success and faliure ?
In case we are in success, we can learn sweet of success and thanks for the people who help us. So, we can get a driving force to be advanced person and know that we have many people keep surporting us.
In case we are in faliure, we gain a more patience and strong mind. Failure can seriously damage to us. For instance, despression, disappointment , sad every time ,etc.) But, If we overcome this hardship, we can get one more chance to be successful.
So, As long as we have a energy to challenge, I think that Both case can be a positive element in our life.

Unit 4 : Is change good or bad?
I think that changing something is always good thing.
Let's think about it, staying is boring huh? For example, If we move to other place, we must meet some new people and friends. Doesn't it sounds interesting? I like to meet new guys, girls, and elder people.
However, think about refusing the change. There is no advance and no interest. Does it sounds great?
The human must learn and enjoy the new environment.
In conclusion, the change is always good.
I want to ask a question to everyone.
What do you think about the 'CHANGE'?

Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
Not always, I think first impressions are not accurate generally.
It is people's judgement on the basis of person's looks, styles, and features. Because they judge a person though just appearances, the first impression is likely to wrong. Nevertheless, first impressions are important to meet people.
People look someone through their first impression even if it is wrong, so we need to effort to make great first impression.

Unit 4: Is change good or bad?
I think that changes are good, Because we can learn new things from changes.
Recently I am working at part time job. From there, I learned how to make bread and how to treat customers. Each time I learn something, I feel good because I can build up new experiences.
Secondly, we can find new aspects of us. For example, A timid person become active or active person become calm.
third, changes make me that I am a new person. For instance, environment changed, people can do better at new position.
also, we can make new relationship, such as new friends and co-workers.
therefore, I think changes are good thing.
Great job everyone. You had a lot of very interesting comments. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Cheers!

Unit 1: Are first impressions accurate?
I have two aspect that theme
First, I think that first imprssions are not always accurate. There are many people who act diffeently than i thought For example,
my friend JS Kim looks like always angry;upset. But when i talk to him whatever, he answerd me happy.
Second, Even if being not always accurate, it is important.
there are some people including me who decide other person with first impreesions. So people used to miss chance that meet good person. therefore always keep smiling

Unit 1 : Are first impressions accurate?
Well, I agree with that. Normally, first impressions are accurate. Especially for elderly people, they are good at judging first impressions. I think it is because of their enough experience. Most people show their character on their face. For example, person who is always angry is always frawn. For more, person whose character is very gentle, kind and good is always with smile. There are some wrong examples of it. Some of people who looks scary actually are shy or sweet. Another people who looks gentle are actually bad sometimes. But I think these examples are very few. But, the most important thing is that we should try to make our first impressions good and if we couldn't change our face, we should try to make our real character good.

Unit 4 : Is change good or bad?
I think change is not always good, but, usually.
Because, first, changing needs being much brave and having ability to adjust something new. Second, nowadays, the world is changing every moment and faster than past. So, since we live in this world, we need to change to adjust changing world. Finally, I think stagnation never can lead progress.
For that reason, I think changing is usually good thing.
