Zipped file

Finally, I put a top function in my webquest.. and temporarily I was so happy..
I thought the next step was making this webquest compressed into zipped file and then sending it to Debra.. However, it didn't work..
Why??????? everytime, error messages turned up...
What's wrong with my webquest or with this computer or with H drive.?

I got Byron Bay tour voucher.

Yesterday.. I went to a Korean travel in the city to book tourpackage for Sydney and Melbourn. This is because I was planning to travel there before Korea.
Luckly, there was a big event to celebrate the 11th U&I travel angeny birthday.
All of sudden, I became a candidate as soon as I picked up the number, and I could not help but skip the class, CLN641, as this started 4:30 pm and finished 6:00.
Actually, this is the first time for me to skip the class since I started to study at QUT.
However, it was worthy since I got $ 60 worth BYRON Bay tour voucher.. ^^*

This is the first photo taken here. Maybe 2 weeks after I came to Brisbane.
I used to live in a homestay house which is behind me in the photo. However, the place was between 3 and 4 zone boundary ,, so it was too far and it was a little expensive, so I decided to move out.. and moved into my current house..
From the photo, I seemed slimmer than now.

Dinner


One day, my friend, SAFA, invited his friends and house mates.
While posting this photo, I found that except him, all of us were women there.. and one more thing, except J's daughter, he was the youngest among us..

THEREFORE, I can conclude he usually like woman more than man, and the old than the young.

The more English you are exposed to in English classes, the better you will get.

The more English you are exposed to in English classes, the better you will get.

-> I totally agree with the opinion above. However, I'd like to adopt it into English class in Korean primary school. As you know, Koreans are not native speaks of English and also primary school teachers's communicative compentence is not excellent enough to speak in English during the class.
Furthermore, each class has at least 35 students.. Could you image that a teach teaches them in a communicative way .. using in English?
In this situation, this opinion has threatened them. I am sure that even native speak teachers have difficult in teaching them and actually, I witnessed it in Korea.
For this taken for granted opinion, to implement into English class room in Korea, it would take much more time than we expected. This is becasue I really find that language barrier is extreamly high..


I'd like to hear your opinion.. -> Even though a second language teacher does not speak a target language fluetly, it would be better that he/she teaches students in a target language.???
Like me.. after going back to teaching, teaching students in English although I know my inproper pronuciation.. heaps of grammar mistakes.

What I've witnessing here.

Yesterday, I finally finished my last presentation, from now on; I should focus on four big final assignments. To tell the truth, this semester is less hard than my first semester, although I chose one more subject. I feel like I’m getting used to do my assignments at around the end of my studying. Since I started to study here, I’ve been witnessing something that really enlightens me to a great extent. When I use other people’s ideas while doing assignments, I should be honest with using them and also appreciate their studies and ideas. I am not saying that their ideas are always right. I mean that their studies and ideas are worthy as they give me a time to think more in that part I’ve never thought or I’ve ignored.

How time flies. My departure time for Korea is coming, however before that day; I should submit four big assignments and build up my website for CLN618. I think that’s life. Always good things and bad things come to us together, and we feel even happier about small things after we go through bad things and we realize how valuable the small things which came to me naturally are. I used to wish to live by myself from my family and I thought it must be cool and lots of freedom. I admit there are some advantages of being myself from family.

Eg. Nobody wakes me up in the morning. / I don’t need to report it to my family that I am likely to be late.

I didn’t know that I could miss these things until I lived by myself.

However, now, I am realizing that how happy I was with my family.

Moreton island


I love this photo very much, because everyone looked funny like children.
Sandboarding.. Before I did, i thought,, "~~ this is for Children.. ~" but, it's fun and it's fairly fast..
Me and Daisy, Maria,, Where is Joice?
She was taking a photo of us.

I really like my uni in that it is very spacious .. especailly from this photo, my uni looks nice.
In fact, My univerisy in Korea was really small so I could get everywhere in uni within 5mins and the number of student per year was around 100. Instead it was fairly competitive to enter. This is because the students graduating from my uni can easily get a secure job.

This photo was taken in Cairns where I spent my winter holiday. Before I got there, I expected it would be hot and very tropical climate. However, it was cold to swim.. so.. I would like to go there again for snorkeling and swimming.
Great barrier reef..

Presentation.

Today.. I have a presentation for Language and Culture.
Although now I have to practice it before class, I am still hanging around my website and blog.. and so on.. Once I jump into the cyberspace, it's really hard for me to jump out of there..
