Behavior

First of the chapter, the author said we didn't need to
care to attach too much meaning to what animals do.
I think the reason is animals act instinctively.
And then author said fear of snakes is a learned behavior in humans.
There is an irony.

when we approach to the snakes, they threaten us with swishing sound.
of course, even though they don't recognize what they are doing,one thing is sure
that they protect themselves.
they threaten others, so enemy leave. this is the purpose of the action.
However, author said fear of snakes is a learned behavior.
Then, why snakes threaten other people?
snakes want to show us not to approach them.
Even the baby who have a little knowledge of the world can know
why the snakes maek sound instintively.
Therefore, in my opinion, when the babis face snakes at first,
they feel threatening instintively.
it's not the learned behavior.
Simply, the snakes behave instintively to protect themselves, and that behavior
apply to the enemy instintively,also.
Eventaully, even though enemy doesn't know about the snakes, enemy can feel what
the snkes want to show.
(Actually, during the writing, I was also confused what my opinion was.hahaha)

cohabitation(free topic)

Through the ELI speaking class, I had discussed about the cohabitation.
Everytime I discussed, my opinion was same:cohabitation must be abolished.
Why people live together without marriage?
I think there is not any reason.
Some people said that we didn't have enough money to get married,
so at first we just lived together and then we would get married.
Actually, almost Korean think marriage ceremoney is really importatnt and must do.
However, If certain couple really love each other, they can get married without
ceremony.
ceremony doesn't big problem to live together.
Besides, some research has showed us unmistakable evidence.
People who choose cohabitation usually break up.
If I chose cohabitation, that whould mean that I just enjoyed with girl.
If my son,especially my daughter,chose cohabitation,I turn them out the house.
Anyway, I'm absolutely against cohabitation.

Novel assignment

I read the novel,"The body in the library",at the level 5 reading class.
Actually, I like a mystery and fantasy novel.
However, even though the novel which I read last session was a mystery,
it was a little bit boring and hard to read.
Fortunately,when I read the new novel's first chapter, I liked it.
It's very important to me if I feel good at the intro or not.

At the first chapter, Lyra who is curious girl watched Master put the white powder
into the wine by chance.
She tried to tell to Asriel because he was her uncle even though she feared him
When Asriel found out her in the room, he was so angry because the room had not
allowed the woman.
However,he believed her so he broke the wine bottle.

I agree Pan's opinion. He said that she must not interfere Master's plan even though
that was wrong.
That's not her business.
Besides, she was not sure if the powder was poison or not.
It could be just seasoning for the wine. She didn't know backgroung.
It's too fast to judge Master's behavior.
Lyra and including all others should not decide something to wathc only
one time.

my strengths and weaknesses in writing

the biggest problem in my essay is that I'm too much thinking.
For that reason, I exhausted easily even though I just think.
Someone said creation was the hardest behavior in the world.
I think why I think too long is I have not written essays many times.
Maybe even though I write essay in Korean, I feel hard.
However, I have written a lot of essays in ELI and
Every time I feel my skill develop even small and slow.
The most important thing which I think is I should write essay regulary.

Organization

I always think carefully about organization.
My essay should be arranged.
When I came here, my first reading class level was 3.
And, I could get high score than others because my essay
had good organization including intro,body and conclusion.
At that level 3, nobody learned about organization.
Now everyone know how to make good organization, so if I want
to get good score, I should make my essay better in other ways, not just organization.
However, it's hard for me yet.

Grammar

At first, I tried to write essay very correctly in grammar.
However, one teacher said grammar is not important than express my idea fluently.
He said do not care about grammar too much and care about how to express your
idea clearly.
At that time, I feel very comfortable because I always too much concerned about
grammar.
Anyway, he gave me bad score due to the grammar.
Maybe I didn't too much think about grammar.
