Q1. What kind of movies do you like to see? Do you like 
      action movies? Do you like comedy or horror movies? 
      What's your favorite type of movie?
 I prefer romatic movies. But actually I used to like action flicks. It's dynamic, interesting and fantastic. The most important thing is it shows or stimulates men's instinct. That's why I think many men love it. But in my generation, as far as I know they don't like it much because we see not only scenes, but also stories and composition. Action movies just focus on actions not a story. So I find it kinda boring. On the other hand, love stories are impressive and dramatic. Sometimes love stories are also kinda corny and predictable but nowadays we are lack of impression, on the contrary we are full of violance as you see from news. So they want to find sth impressive and hopeful. I do as well. and I had never watched horror movies up until 2 years ago, but I suddenly watched the horror movie named "Saw" and I started to love it because it has thrills and dramatic reversals ( = plot twist ) of the story. Anyway the bottom line is that I love horror and love movies.

Q2. Describe one of your favorite restaurents where you often
      go to eat at. What type of food do they serve there?
      What do you like about that restaurant?
My favorite restaurant is 보쌈 restaurant, which serves steamed pork, kimchi, lettuce, and so on. The main food is pork and kimchi. We just wrap kimchi around pork and eat it. It's very delicious and it goes with soju well. Soju is korean liquor. I really love it but I can't afford to go frequently. It's kinda expensive. So just when it's special, we eat it. Aside from the food, I don't care for the restaurant unless they are rude.
 
Q3. game
        Sometimes I like to play a computer game, which called "Sudden Attack". It's a shooting game.
        I've loved playing shooting game. It's not boring like others because it's unexpectable and irregular. So we are always nervous and concentrating on it. When we win, we can feel of achivement. Actually I don't like to play a game too much. I used to like to play a game all the time when I was in high-school. At that time, games are always in my mind. I couldn't help thinking of that. But As time went by, I realized that there is nothing left after games. So After that, I didn't play a game or sometimes I did. I might have been sick and tired of it. Anyway It's good to have interest to study not to play a game. Anyway I think If we can control ourselves, it would be helpful to play a game.

Q4. housework

I rarely do housework. I always thought that I don't have time to do that. But as far as I observe myself it's a lame excuse. because even if I have time for it, I don't do that, The reason is I'm used to it. My mom always does that for me and insisted that I do study more instead of washing dishes. Maybe it became my habitual behavior. But when I live in a domitory or rent a room, I do the dishes. because we share a kitchen utensils. So I think I'm either lazy or used to do it. Anyway the things I do housework is dishing washes, clean the floor when my mom needs me. only ocassionally I do that by myself.

Q5. Tell me about the TV shows or movies you like to watch. What do you like about them?
I like to watch talk show program which talk about famous entertainers' lives.
We have a fantasy of them and we think that they are just special and they are different from us. But as I listen their stories of the lives. I would find out that there are reasons how they became entertainers. They don't become an entertainer because they are just special. They become because they gave all of their effort for that for 5 years or 10 years or even over 10 years. Almost of them have lots of hardships we can't ever imagine. They endure much more things than us. So I can learn lots of things from them, such as, money doesn't grow on tree, no pain no gain, and sometimes I feel that how better atmosphere or condition I have than them. and we can feel humanity of them. The reason why I said about humanity is many people think they are perfect because they are famouse, rich and beautiful and they seems they can have and do what they want. So that's it.

Q7. What kinds of books and what authors do you like to read? What time of the day do you usually read?

I like self-development book. I used to waste my time and be pessimistic. After I read that kind of books, It makes me awake of something. So I started to read self-development books. I like an author named "spencer johnson" who wrote books named "Who moved my cheese?" and "Present". I love that books. It talks about something we need to do right now.
I sympathize whit what he wrote on it. So I thought it's time to change myself. Nowadays I read a book named "The Secret". It's also one of famous self-development books. It talk to think in an optimistic way. What you think is going to be real. It's kinda similar to other books. But it's more inspiring and impressive to me. So I bought it in Australia. I usually read it when I have little time before I go to school and When I'm in my way to school in a subway or a bus.

Q9. Tell me about any exercise you do. Do you jog? Do you work out with weights? Or do you go for a walk form time to time? Also tell me how often you exercise and for how long.

First of all just from a few days ago, I started to exercise with weights and do push-up. Because I feel that my body is getting weaker. So To adjust my body to weights, I'm increasing weight and times little by little. When I work out with weights, I lift it up with my hands from my thighs to the chest. then from the sholders over my head.
Secondly, I play tennis with my friends. but I haven't been taught I just play it for fun.
When I watched a tennis game, it seems it's not very hard to play it. I thought it needs just a power and stamina. But After I played it, I noticed that it's not like that. Ball is too fast to hit it even thought it's absolutely slow When it's compared with the ball in pro sports game.
I just did it for about a week. because I didn't exercise for a long time to study. If I'm telling u what I worked out before, it's gonna be boxing. When I wan in high school, I did boxing for 8months. It's very tough on the other hand it's very interesting to learn skills and attractive.
I think it's the hardest sport I've ever done. But I enjoyed it so it made me healthy and confident. I think at that time I had my best my body in my lifetime in terms of condition and shape.
