Sinji's :)
Dear Mr.Shim
I learned about the English teaching position advertised on Busan Office of Education website. I’m deeply impressed with the philosophy of education that you have and would like to be a part of your school.
I graduated from PNU in 2008 with BA in English Education and a GPA of 4.3. I did volunteer work at Bodam, a program which offers free lessons to teenagers from low-income families. From this I got experience in teaching and caring for students.
I have been teaching Middle School English for 3 years. I have gained valuable experience in course development and materials development, student counseling and classroom management. As a young and dedicated teacher, I’m ready to overcome all the challenges I face and make a real contribution to your school.
I have attached my CV and would be happy to discuss the position with you. I am available after 5 pm everyday I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sinji Lee

Gwangalli Beach
When in Busan, be sure not to miss Gwangalli Beach. First, you can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Gwangan Bridge, the largest two-story bridge in Korea. Its lights illuminate the night with many different colors, producing a majestic night spectacle. Second, the beach also has original sculptures on display. They will make your trip more enjoyable. Fianlly, there are lots of romantic cafes, fancy outdoor bars and fresh raw fish restaurants. You can visit saunas or spas in the luxurious hotels nearby. To visit this place, you can take subway Line 2 and get off at Gwangan station.
Father Lee : His Love Didn't End with his Death
Lee Tae Seok is one of the most respected priests in Korea and Sudan. After his death in 2010, a documentary film about his life was shown on TV and in movie theaters, which helped many people to know about his love and sacrifice for the poor, ill and suffering people in Sudan. It is no surprise that lots of people were deeply impressed by his life and try to succeed in his efforts to help the poor and ill in that region.
He was born in poverty and raised by his mother who made a living by sewing. He got through his difficulties and went to medical school. Right after becoming a doctor, he was ordained as a priest and left for Tonj in South Sudan, where the people suffered from poverty, diseases, and war. At first he began to treat the ill day and night without any fee. One of his patients said, "Father Lee is Jesus alive to us because he cured our diseases when we were dying." Then he built a clinic and a school, and started teaching children as well to give them hope for the future. Even after his sudden death, the people in Tonj have missed him and appreciate his love and sacrifice for them.
Two characteristics made it possible for him to be one of the most respected priests in Korea and Sudan. First, he was warm-hearted and had a great affection for people. He looked after the patients with 'Hansen's disease', who were always avoided and rejected by others, with all his heart and efforts. Second, he was persistent and optimistic. His assistant said he never gave up treating dying people and tried to give them hope for life without knowing he was harming himself with fatigue from lack of sleep. Because of these two important characteristics, Father Lee has been respected and honored after his death.

Sally's survey
I was interested in Busan English teachers’ traveling style and preferences. Participants were asked about their preferences for the season which they like to go traveling, and people whom they want to go with. The survey also asked whether they prefer guided tours to individual tours or not for a long trip abroad. The last question was about the best place or country they traveled abroad until now.
Seven out of ten respondents chose spring as their favorite season for traveling. 40% of respondents said they like to go on a trip with their husband or boyfriend. Responses were equally divided between their friends and their parents or siblings as traveling companions. Half of the participants prefer going on an individual tour to joining a guided tour in a group. However, four out of ten said they are not sure which way is better. Several respondents chose Europe for their favorite place. On the other hand, a majority of respondents identified South Asia as their favorite place.
Teachers’ preference for spring may be because the weather in spring is not so hot and not that cold, so it’s good to travel. Also, we can see beautiful flowers and scenery in spring. Teachers’ enjoyment of being with their husband or boyfriend may be because they want to spend time and go sightseeing with their favorite people. Their preference for individual trips may be because they want to travel based on their tastes and needs. When we travel in a group, we don’t feel free to go somewhere or stay longer in one place. The data implies that this group of people like to relax in a good resort which has a luxurious facility.

Kate's writing
I was interested in the opinions of Busan English teachers about travel. Participants were asked if they like to travel, if they prefer to travel when they are young adults instead of saving money for the future and how long they want to travel. They were also asked the reason why they travel.
A majority of respondents said they really like to travel. However, about the preferred travel period, one group (6 out of 10) like to travel for a couple of weeks as an annual vacation. On the other hand, the other group (4 out of 10) prefer to travel for more than a year. They gave a variety of answers about the best time of life to travel. Two participants strongly disagreed with the idea of traveling when they are young, whereas 6 agreed and 2 strongly agreed with traveling instead of making money. They gave several reasons why they like to travel. Several respondents said they love to travel because they can expand their cultural horizons and enjoy scenic sights and historical sites. However, a majority of respondents said they like to travel because they can relieve stress and give themselves a pat on the back, and in the end, they can get energy to cope with their stressful life.
Most Busan English teachers surveyed preferred to travel when they are young. This result implies that when they get old, they may not want to feel that they wasted their younger years doing nothing but work. One of the main reasons that young adults may refrain form traveling is a lack of funds. Therefore, travel agencies are likely to develop new travel packages for the young adults who have a lack of funds.
