Seoul and Gwang Ju

  • TRANSPORTATION

Seoul


Seoul's transportation system dates back to the era of the Korean Empire, when the first streetcar lines were laid and a railroad linking Seoul and Incheon was completed. Seoul's most important streetcar line ran along Jongno until it was replaced by Line 1 of the subway system in the early 1970s. Other notable streets in downtown Seoul include Euljiro, Teheranno, Sejongno, Chungmuro, Yulgongno, and Toegyero. There are eight major subway lines stretching for more than 250 kilometers, with two additional lines planned.

Seoul has more than three million registered vehicles and suffers from widespread traffic congestion.

Gwang ju

Gwangju has one subway line. An extension to the line was completed in April 2008. There are also two KTX (high speed rail) stations in the city: Gwangju Station and Songjeong-ri Station. Songjeong-ri has been connected to the subway network; however, no connection exists to Gwangju Station.

Gwangju Airport and Muan International Airport serve Gwangju.

  • EDUCATION

Seoul

There are a large number of universities in Seoul, including the majority of the South Korea's most prestigious universities. Most high school students in Korea hope to go to universities in Seoul.[citation needed] The top three[citation needed] universities are Seoul National University (SNU), Yonsei University, and Korea University. High school senior students take the test called Soo-neung, (similar to the United States' SAT) at the end of their senior year. If they fail the test, they have to wait another year before trying again.[citation needed]

Korean citizens have the right to education up to the high school level. Students spend six years in elementary school, three years in middle school, and three years in high school. Students have to wear school uniforms every day and many schools have restrictions on hair length, style, colour etc.[citation needed] Some middle schools and high schools are sex-segregated.[citation needed]

I usually wake up because of the alarm clock and
the barking sound of our dog. He is always barking
to open the door because he knows that when alarm
clock is ringing, we wake up. Sometimes I don't want
to hear it..But I love my dog so, it's okay. :) I can bear it. haha
When I snuggle my dog to my arms, he is like a

teddy bear. He's so fluffy!! While I'm snuggling him,
I can smell the pet's piss and feces in our bathroom.
I ask it our helper to clean our room. Then I go

downstairs to eat breakfast, it's so yammy!
After I eat my breakfast, I just stare outside.

It's so shiny and seems so hot.

Agreeable Alarming Mirthful Anticipative Tremble

1.Last year a very strong virus spread all over the world.

Many countries were affected by the virus. The name of
the virus was swine flu. Swine influenza virus is any strain
of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.
Because of the flu, many people died. Korea was affected
too that time. When I went back to Korea last year, I tried
to had a vacine but I couldn't because the government gave
priority first to pregnant, babies, and older people because
the vacine was limited. That time all countries were cautious
to prevent it. It was frightening or worrying.

ANSWER-Alarming

2. On my first day of school in colleage, I was very nervous

because there are big diffrences between high school and
college school I thought. Actually, I always expected a lot
in college when I was in high school student. But when that
first day came I was very tensed. I worried about 'what if
my teacher ask me to do something infront of our classmate.
I am kind of introvert person so, it's a very shy thing to me,

I tried to be better but English is not our first language so
I was worried about my grammar and pronounciation while
I was talking. But.. I enjoy college life now :)

ANSWER-Tremble

BP oil spill..


BP oil spill is probaby the gratest enviromental disaster
the US has faced, but the true impact on surrounding
ecosystems could take a long time to emerge.
More than 100 miles of its 400-miles coast has so far
been polluted. By oil soiling, the wetlands and spilling
into marine, all seafood industries are closed and
the initial explotion killed 11 people and
continuosly threatening the ocean's wildlife.
The damage hasn't gone far because there are
no major fish kills yet but it would take years
to unfold this dilemma.
