We Need One More Official Language.

It is essential to speak second language in today’s global economy. Among languages, English is the most common and powerful language. However, many Koreans are not good at speaking English and they are afraid of talking with foreigners. So, we should add English as an official language. This is because we can save money to spend for private English education and English is important and, save time.

If we have English as an additional official language, we can save money that we spend to study English and take English test like TOEIC or TOEFL. Korean parents usually use $300 a month to give their children an advantage in the exam. After they pass the exam, people go to an English conversation school to learn and practice how to speak English fluently and naturally. Also, taking English test like TOEFL cost $180 for one time. Most of Koreans who prepare TOEIC test to get a job or prove their English, take TOEIC test more than one times. Some of them take that test once a month to get their goal score. So if we add English as an official language, our citizen can reduce money stress from spending English education fee.

While, using two different languages officially can be time consuming, in the future Korean can save time to spend study English. When I was high school student, I spend 5hours to read English article and memorize vocabulary. It is not only my story. Most of my friend who is going to go to a university spends a lot of time to English education. When we are in university, we should make an effort to memorize vocabulary which is time-consuming. Even thought using two languages in official announcement can be inconvenient and inefficient, Korean can spend less time to study English.

 English is important language in the global lifestyle so we should have English as an official language. Even though there are many applications that help translation for non English speakers, ability to speak English is essential. When we travel around, global language is English. We cannot use a translation application whenever we need to use English. Also, if we can speak English, we can get a better job. Most of companies on the abroad want a person who can speak English well. So, adding English as an additional official language is not optional anymore.

Thus, we have to add English as an official language because it will save our citizens’ money and time and, English is essential language in global life.  In the future, our next generation will speak two languages even when they are in elementary school.

Robotic surgery

You do not need to stay at hospital for long time after having surgery. When we get surgery even that surgery was simple, we usually spend long time in the hospital for recovery. However, people are so busy nowadays some people should go back to work; some housewife should take care of their children. From now on, we can just start our life as soon as possible after having surgery. This is because of Robotic surgery. Robot makes it possible for doctor to see 3-D images of patient body and small cuts to insert the instruments.

Robotic surgery can reduce recovery time because doctor can see surgery area easily. Robotic surgery produces 3-D images to doctors so they can make precise movement. In the past, there are many surgery area that surgeon cannot see so, it was hard to use instrument fast and precisely. However robotic surgery lets the surgeon move in a more comfortable ways. As result doctor can finish the surgery fast thus, patient can recover well than before.

Also,robotic surgery can shorten recovery time because it can be performed by smaller cuts than open surgery. In open surgery, to use instrument without Robotic arms doctor should cut more than with robotic arm. However, this robotic arm technology allows surgeon to cut smaller part of patient’s skin because surgeon use tiny instruments to perfume surgery.

We can recover fast by using robotic surgery because it makes smaller cuts than open surgery and doctor can check patient surgery area easily through 3-D images. Even though robotic surgery has positive effects, don’t you have ever though it is not efficient just because it is robot. It is time to change your mind, in near future robot will be your doctor.

What If We Stop Taking Suneung?

             Korea is well known about education and students study hours. There is one reason why students have to study hard. The reason is Suneung. Korean students are forced to spend a lot of time preparing for Suneung which is college scholastic ability test in Korea. As a result, many problems have been discovered. First of all, students are stressed out and some of them even committed suicide because of Suneung score. Second, their ideas or thoughts are ignored. Finally, it coasts a lot of money to go to private schools to prepare Suneung. So, if we stop taking Suneung, there are tree positive effects. Student will get less stress and allow creativity to students, and parent can save money.

             First, if the Korean government removes Suneung, students can have more leisure time. When I was in high school, I studied for 15hours a day. I had no time to play game or watch TV because I had to study Suneung to attend elite universities. However, if students do not need to take Suneung, they can participate in fun after-school programs or visit to numerous-themed festivals. Having those activities are essential because according the KNUE professor, he stated that in his article. “An exposure to leisure activities in middle school days especially seems to step up the sociability development of students and have a crucial impact on their growth into well-rounded people.” So, students can grow as a social person with less stress and various experiences.

             Second, students can be creative if the Korean government decides to stop taking Suneung. Suneung has only multiple questions and the answer is already fixed. Thus, there is no opportunity to show student’s ideas. In addition, students are forced to say one correct answer to teacher, even many school’s teachers do not ask student’s thoughts. This is because that is useless for Suneung. As a result, many students do not try to think about subject themselves and become a passive student. If the Korean government gets rid of Suneung, students can think differently. According to education society’s president Byeongsen Gwak, Suneung blocks students to do diverse activities and hinder their creativity. So, when students are free from taking Suneung, they can improve their creativity.

             Finally, parents can save money if Suneung is removed. Most Korean students go to private schools or have tutors to study Suneung. According to Edaily article, 68.6 percent of parent said in the survey that the financial burden of educating their children is hard to manage. Also, the average cost of private education is $530 a month. Thus, if there is no Suneung anymore, parents can save their spending money.

             In summary, there are positive results if we decide to stop taking Suneung. First, students can have more free time. Second, they can be creative. Third, parents can save money. So, if you have taken Suneung already you, will know how it is stressful. To stop taking Suneung what can we do? How can we stop this disaster from Suneung?

What should We Do for Sustainable Future?

People have been short sighted for long time. We seems like we have forgotten that we have limited resources. As a result, we are going to in danger in near future. We do not have enough water, oil, trees and so on which is essential to our life. What should we do to deal with this problem? We have to use more renewable energy resources. Also, the government needs to promote people to work in green employment.

Using renewable energy resources is beneficial because it is eco-environmental and we do not worry about exhaustions. Oil production which is our main energy resources makes CO2. It has created a lot of environmental problem such as global warming. Also, coal, wood, and fossil fuel are limited resources. The article from energy policy stated that coal will be available up to 2112 and others resources will be extinct after 2042. So, it is times to start improve renewable energy systems and use that more than past.

Also, we need to encourage workers to get a job in a green employment. About 2.3million workers are in the renewable-energy industry. However, to improve renewable energy skill and makes it popular resources the number of green employment is not enough now. As I already wrote we are in short supply of resources which we have used in the industry such as oil. In my country, it is not easy to see solar power system in the top of the roof even they installed that because of inefficiency some of them stopped using that. For the improvement of renewable energy resources it is times to support and promote green employment.

As a result, we, who have not been conscious about sustainability, should start to use renewable energy and work in the renewable-energy industry. In addition, there is a benefit we can get from using renewable energy and support green employment. Those are new areas which is not perfect which means that industry needs more people to work together. As a result, we can create a lot of new job opportunities for people who are struggling to have a job.We cannot hesitate anymore. We should do something for your next generation. What you are going to do?
