Just a few times ago on 27, Guangzhou Asian Games began on 12 came to an end. The event was held in Guangzhou, China. 45 countries which had 14,454 players including Korean participated in total 42 games. We won 76 gold, 65 silver, 91 bronze and hold the second rank although we didn’t take the No.1 ranking. Even more surprising was that taking the second rank in Asian Games is not first time, we already took it four times in a row. It is very proud.

The most impressive thing in the Guangzhou Asian Games was a player who won 2 gold medals in shooting. She is seven months pregnant and expectant mother. In addition, Rain, a Korean singer, appeared exclusively on stage in the closing ceremony. This shows that our country has much influence in Asia. But, the sad thing is Park Tae-hwan who won seven medals in swimming wasn’t voted MVP at The Asian Games in Guangzhou. Some people complained that they’re not able to watch their favorite program because Asian Games, but, I think that this is more important, more proud and more valuable. I could feel the players’ passion and ambition and I could look tears and joy by watching the Guangzhou Asian games. I am very proud of the players of our country regardless of holding medals.

I look forward to having good results in 2014 Inchoen Asian Games and the Olympic Games or World Cup match like the results of the Guangzhou Asian Games.

In modern society, ‘Social Network Services’ is very powerful. We define social network services as web-based services that allow individuals to construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site. Recently, ‘The Social Network’, a 2010 drama film about the founding of the Internet social networking website Facebook and the resulting lawsuits is released in Korea. In addition, the media says that trend of companies marketing is the SNS marketing. Like this, now Social Network Services are attracted world attention.   

Korea’s representative SNS is Cyworld. Above this, Twitter, Facebook and Me2day are in the spotlight as a new SNS of Korea. I use Cyworld, too. I inform news about me for my friends by using cyworld. Cyworld has a characteristic called ‘Ilchon’. This is bunched together like following of other SNS. I think that, it is difficult to approach for unspecified individuals in Cyworld. The most of visitors is person that I know. But, this characteristic is advantage for me because I care informing my privacy. So, most writing postings of my cyworld are opened only for my ilchon. When winter vacation is coming, I want to use other SNS like twitter, because they have particular things each. Especially twitter, we can use this in mobile phone. If you have watched special movie and you want to announce that your friends, you just write them in your mobile message and upload that. Like these situations, SNS is changing our personal life. Therefore I recommend you use SNS.

“I will go wherever the poor people exist, even if there is moon.” This saying is said Mother Teresa. When I worried about college entrance examination, I accidentally watched a movie about her. Her saying gave big impression to me and I chose the department of social welfare. I always interested in volunteering, especially external volunteer work because my major is social welfare. Fortunately, I heard that there is mural painting volunteer activity by friend a few days ago. Therefore, I applied the program and then I was selected that by a volunteer worker. So, yesterday I did a volunteer work in Young-seo elementary school. This activity is hosted by KT&G welfare foundation and called ‘Dream in Painting’ which paint on the elementary school’s wall. Young-seo elementary school is located in guro-gu, Seoul. It is distant from Seongbuk-gu where I am living. So, I was little late but staff was very kind, and they gave me something useful tools for that volunteering like name tag, apron, gloves and wristlet. After that, I went the place where our team is and started activity in earnest. If I am poor in painting, it is OK. This work is that just paints on sketch which is drawn by art student. It is very simple, easy and fun. Theme of mural painting is four seasons; our group took charge of summer. After this volunteering, I not only get a proof about my activity but also meet new people. Moreover, I take a book which give for volunteer worker at KT&G company. I was proud of imagination that children are glad due to exuberant wall rather than flat wall by this activity. If I have a chance to participate in the future, I will take part in this activity.

The Pepero day, one of the all South Korea's event days will come soon. Approaching Pepero Day, companies raced to promote related products to market. Actually, now, we can often find this on the street. Almost every month has events like Pepero Day in Korea. Some of them are black day on April 14, rose day on May 14, kiss day on June 14 and so on. November 11 is Pepero Day. Pepero Day was originated from exchanging the Korean cookies named "Pepero" which contains kind of Korean trend about keeping the slim body shape between the middle school girls in Pusan-Youngnam since 10 years ago. Teenagers send a message says "I wish your success on diet" and give these peperoes which decorated as bouquet as gifts or eat these instead of a meal and wish to have such a slim legs. But now, Pepero Day was consolidated its meaning as event which lovers or friends express their mind each other such as Valentine's Day. Frankly speaking, I have a negative view about this event. As mentioned before, the origin of this event is from the innocent mind of girls. But companies degrade it. Moreover, they extend and solidify one of the events it. Usually, event days are born by business ability of companies. There are many people who think like me. A survey result of a job portal site for college students shows that respondent of 82.6% said "Pepero Day is nothing but a mere business skill of companies." When I was young, I participated in this event, too. But, in retrospect, I always threw away most of Peperos which get from friends. It’s just waste of money. I think that celebrating meaningful anniversaries such as birthday is best.
