Hwasun English Camp: Friends

Here are pictures of everyone. At the beginning of the week everyone seemed nervous, but all the guys had excellent attitudes. These are some of the best students I have met in Korea, each one was polite, cooperative, funny, strong, smart and friendly. I hope to see them at camp again!


Hwasun English Camp: Great Moments in Sports

We played sports everyday. It's really nice to get out of the classroom and exercise, 
run and play.
 The guys played soccer really well, everyone played fair and had fun!


Hwasun English Camp: Designers and Engineers

Here are the boys designing the perfect device for a safe egg drop. This was a fun competition. It was great to see the guys work together to design drop and landing systems.

Sports Day!



It was recently sports day, the students needed a break. For the previous two weeks we have been working hard on tests and keeping up with studies; the students needed this time.



It was great to see all the outrageous costumes. My favorites were: the "Pajama Girls", dressed in pink for a day of lounging, girl talk and sports.

I also liked the "Van Gogh's", dressed in a t-shirt with a sunflower and crowned with a large straw hat. Perfect. They all made it through the day with both ears intact.

One of the boy's teams had a great shirt too, blue, with a zombie. Their motto: "Win or Die".





Good job everyone, glad you had fun!

Lesson Three

This week we started lesson 3. In Level One, we are learning, "Why/because..." and "Why don't you..." In Level Three we are learning, "Do you remember..." and "Glad to hear that."

These phrases are helpful in making your English sound natural and deeper, if not more reflective.

The level three lesson is fun b/c it makes us wonder about where we will be twenty years from now and what we will be like.

Keep up the good work!

I am Korean-American

We will watching a segmented series about Korean identity. What does it mean to be Korean; what does it mean to be Korean-American?

This series helps us get to know ourselves and others, and talk about various cultures.

Dirty Jobs!

Recently we watched some clips from "Dirty Jobs". There are lots of jobs that people do to keep the city working and to help us. These jobs are unusual, but neccessary.



I hope you enjoyed this week's lesson. I thought it was fun to watch and the responses were great!

See ya in class,
Mark L.
