My favorites - Movies
I read teacher’s blog this month that Stephen posted it after he came back to London. Stephen used many practical words for me and everyone who is contacting Learning English on BBC.
Teacher’s blog is really helpful and interesting for us that he wrote anything about his life with useful English. I was feeling friendly when I was reading his blog.
He asked me about Soju, Korean traditional alcohol. It makes that alcohol is diluted with water. It’s almost 18% alcohol and no color like water. If you don’t like to drink Soju you pour it into your water glass. It has been happened occasionally because I was enough to drink. How much do you drink? For me, one bottle of Soju or two bottles of beer. I’m not good at drinking as I’m getting older.
Have you ever seen new movies? What’s new released movies at the cinema in your country recently?
I was on the que to buy popcorns and a coke.
I like romantic comedy, drama, animation and humanism. I don’t like violent, horror and action movies because it makes me nervous and threatened. I was feeling so bad for a few days after I saw the movie, Old boy which has won the prize of Canne and directed by Korean director, Chanuk, Park.
I think the movie ‘TAzza’ (The war of Flower is English name) was the best one last year in Korea. It’s about Korean style casino, called ‘Hwatu’that a young boy wanted be the best player, called Tazza in Korean at casino. He learnt about technical skills and how to play a trick on cards from previous legendary Tazza whose perfomed by Younsik Baek. It's all about to be tricked player and showed spectacle actions with wide angle. Before I told you, I don't like violence or bloodic movie and it's also has scenses like that. I yelled with surprised and
a friend of mine teased me to be timid. How stupid I am that can't see movie daringly.
What was your best move last year, Stephen? 
I always bought popcorns and a coke at the cinema before entered my seat. It's much enjoyable to eat while I'm watching a movie at the cinema.
I've seen the movie, 007-Casino royale on new year's day with a friend. Have you seen it? I like main actor, Daniel Craig who has been perfomed to 'The mother'. Critics has reviewed his peformance at the movie that 007 is unlike previous strong and intense actor. It's doesnt' matter because I think he described 007's weakness and sensitive heart.
I've got home right now. I was busy at work because I had to close records instead of my manager that she's out of office for 3hours. I was feeling relaxed as I checked time to close to work. Happy time to escape from works.
After finished working at 6PM I went to COEX mall, located on near my office to have a dinner with my co-workers.
We ate dukboki that is very chilly and hot. It's mixed vegetables and rice cake with chilly source. We moved to drink to a cafe.
I like to chat company's stuffs with them because we're under similar stresses at work and it can be helped to share each other's problems.
It's so late almost 11PM in korea. What're you doing? Is it burning Friday?
I'm going to houseworks tomorrow. I have to do loundary, cleaning up a house and wash dises. I'm living with my parents but now my mom is away to Beijing that my sister's been living.
My mom is coming back next Thursday. I can't stand waiting for her because I want to stop hosueworks at all.
You think I'm not young to live with parents and I should live alone. Normally children don't live away from parents before getting married.
I'll tell you about korean family later.
Have a nice weekend!!

Hello, Soyoung! I´m enjoying reading your blog very much! Thanks for sharing with us a bit of the Korean lifestyle and culture. By the way, I´m looking forward to hearing more from you about your work and family! It would be very nice! Best wishes, Luciana
Dear Soyoung! I admire your long stories about your life and Korean culture. They are ful of the young optimistic spirit! I would like to possess your ability and lightness in using the English for telling them us. And you are absolutelly courrageous personality who is facing to the hard (courious) teacher. I hated the grammar exercisess, so sorry, I will see again all my mistakes after posting this. I pressume there will be no chance for me (48-two month and 3 dayes yet?) to get hold of the knowledge using this language properly. I would never take part in some competition. Isn´t it is too late to learn? I practise any learning for my job which I had very badly. Thank you Soyoung. Your name sounds like a song! I´ve never heard Korean name. I don´t go to the cinema. I usualy stay home, sometimes painting pictures by listening to any pleasant voice from TV set. Fortunately, there is something sweet fo you!
Hello Soyoung, I am so glad you are this month's blogger. I have to confess that I am a fan of your country. I really want to learn more about its culture and people. Regarding your last comment on this post I have to say that Mexican children do not use to leave their parents' home until they get married. However this is no longer the rule, since many young people have to leave their hometowns in search of a better job and a better life in other cities other than their hometowns. Some friends of mine have told me that this is also usual in European contries such as Spain and Italy, however i am not 100% sure about it. What about England?
My last movie was The Holiday, with Kate Winslet,Jack Black, Cameron Diaz and Jude Law. Critics did not like of this movie, but I really enjoyed. I did not watch Casino Royale. Maybe it is because the movie´s trailer did not cacth my attention. I love movies, I´m fascinating by them. Almost every weekend I am at the movie theather, and when there is not of my interest playing at the movie theater, I rent some of them to watch at home. I also collect movies, specially classicals ones. It is my huge passion. Do you like classical movies? Regards.
Hello everyone, You're very royal. I'm really glad to read your comments on it. I'm also curious about other's culture and life. It's very good chance to us because we can share different life style and something about country. It's really far from latin america but we can talk on the net. What a fantastic site!!
This comment has come late to you. It's 10:56 p.m here.:). Well, I also watched Casino Royal right on the New Year day with my friends. The shots are impressively filmed but I have to admit that it left me not so much emotion, not like the time I watched King Kong. That's a fantastic movie. Maybe action films are hard for me to be sensitive to. Wish you best of luck!
