Education in Korea

Nowadays, education is very important for everyone, also in Korea. Government sees this point and plan to improve their education system to progress their population.

I know that many countries use differences way to proceed their education system. It is depend on their condition and environment. Thailand is one of the countries that have to improve more efficiency. Last time I spend more time to study in class, and I hope that I will get great scores for my entrance examination. It did not seem like the way I have to be. This because the government change to new system that most students cannot reach to it.

However, most Koreans spend most time in high school to prepare for their entrance examination. They have to study in extra class such as attend to study English. Their parents force them to get a private tutors for teach them to prepare for the exam that is very meanful for all students in Korea. The government tries to improve the system by stressing quality more that quantity.

Transport of South Korea

There are many ways to travel from one place to another. It spins my idea about finding the way to travel aroud Korea where is very fantastic place to visit.

Transportation is connected all around the country. It is comfortable for people to travel to many places. If you travel in South Korea, It has many ways for transportation .I suggest you to use subway. It is fastest and efficient to transport in city. The services in subway are very convenient .It is very important to transport in capital city, Seoul and connect with the suburbs. It decreases the traffic jam. The Seoul Metropolitan Subway offers 11 lines for the commuters to travel by and an additional 2 are under construction. But if you think it is very confused to manage, you can use taxi service in South Korea. It is easy to used and very comfortable. And one way, you can use South Korea Bus Travel. In this country, it is fast and sticks to the schedule and it is inexpensive and very comfortable.

In my opinion, I think South Korea is comfortable to transport and travelling around country. It has many ways you can choose to travelling.

Green Transportation in South Korea

Nowadays, people around the world have big campaigns to save the world. South Korea also has many projects that will joy this campaign by using new technology of transportation. It is a new electric transport powered by recharging strips embedded in roads that transfer energy through magnetic connections. There are no direct connections with wires. The process of transportation is using sensor. It is not like mobile phones because they don’t have charged battery. It uses magnetic system to provide energy. If it success, it will solve traffic congestion problem. But government of South Korea has to consider about cost of setting this system because it is very expensive for small country of South Korea.

In my opinion, I think this campaign will be South Korea as a developing country.

New Style School in Korea

I choose this article because every country has to develop education system to progress efficiency of their country.

Education on Korea was tried to use American style law school. In South Korea, The Education Ministry had planned to launch a US style system. This plan will start in next year. They will choose 25 universities in country for use this law, but they have problems. Internal report is a leak is show the university that chooses. It is 12 school in Seoul and 13 from provincial cities from 41 applicants. So the education ministry has postponed announcing a list of 25 universities and said that the report and said that the report had not received final authorization from the ministry. This time the final selection of universities had not been decided

In my opinion, I think it is a new way for develop education but I am not sure about this plan. So, you have to follow and notice closer. If it can develop education

News Coach in South Korea

I choose this article because I saw the news football match in television and I really love football. I like to follow the news about it.

Since I saw FIFA World Cup tournament, I think that South Korea is becoming in a higher rank of football competition. In FIFA World Cup tournament, Huh Jung-moo is a coach of South Korea team and they approached to the second round. He stepped down from his position and now Cho will replace Huh Jung-moo. Cho is trying to catch new trends of world football like big leagues such as England, Germany, Spain, and Italy. He expected that in the first major task, it will be win the Asian Cup in Qatar, which begins in January. He is proud and believes in his team that his team will become and the famous team in the world.

I hope that one day, I will see Asian Team become the winner of FIFA World Cup tournament and improves the standard of ths asian football.

Taekwando Belts

I think everybody know one kind of art of Korea called "Taekwondo". It is one kind of modern martial art that fast, high and spinning kicks. TAE means to kick .KWON means to strike or block with hand. DO means art. When we put it together, it means The art of Kicking and Punching.

Less of them will know that it can seperate into many classes. It can divide by the color of belts. There are 9 degrees that are white yellow green blue red poom and black. It is so confuse for me in the first the I learn about this. I think it is not too difficult if I want to learn.

First of all, I will suggest the meaning of the belts that show the skill of the students.

White Belt (10th Geup)

The color white indicates that a person is "innocent", has no knowledge of Taekwondo.

Yellow Belt (8th Geup)

The color yellow indicates that the person is getting to know the basic techniques.

Green Belt (6th Geup)

The color green indicates that a student is growing as a Taekwondo student. The color of the belt is compared to a plant growing its leafs.

Blue Belt (4th Geup)

The color blue indicates that a student is reaching higher, like a plant that is growing towards the sky.

Red Belt (2nd Geup)
The color red indicates danger. The student is warned to practice the control of his/her movements.

Black Belt (1st dan)
Black is the opposite of white and means the maturity of the student in the art.
