How can I get used to writing in English?
I sometimes wonder how much time I have spent studying English and I get frustrated on the fact that I'm not fluent in the language yet. A friend of mine recommended I write in English regularly for a limited short time. Although it sure is a very useful way to know what kinds of expressions I'm not used to, I realize I still have a long way to go whenever I have trouble expressing my thoughts into this language. Is this because I'm not enjoying learning itself or I overly focus on what I'm not good at? Whatever the reason may be, this is quite exhausting and self-eroding. I believe that to have goals in doing something is vital, but at the same time, it might be much better if I could humbly embrace even my mistakes and enjoy the moment itself.

Can genetically modified organisms change those who feed off of them?
A few decades ago, people worried about deleterious repercussions of gene-manipulated plants and animals which were made for the food supply. The same tone of most people regarding this matter was that genetically modified organisms could involve the expression of their unexpected genes as well as human's, which might lead unfavorable consequences. The first assumption is still subsist, which says that GMOs might disarrange the ecosystem by unexpected characteristics of gene expressions; however, the worry of their changing human genes is a mere misunderstanding that occurred because of not knowing the mechanism of digestion and how DNA is expressed.

Tones in speaking Korean
There are several tones, or honorific ways to speak in Korean. If you have lived in Korea since you were a child, you must be used to those different ways to speak in each different situation, but it's hard for a foreigner to be used to the system thoroughly for a short period of time. However, assuming you are an adult, you generally only need to be adapt to speaking in two different ways. One is to speak in a casual polite way, and the other is to speak in an officialy polite way. You can speak in the former way in general; such as when you meet people in everday life or when you talk to strangers. You can speak in the latter way when you give a speech in front of many people or write official or public documents.

How one can save fuel in the winter?
As the price of oil and gas increases, people try to abstain from wasting fuel. We have two ways to save money using on heat the house. The first is to save the amount of fuel, and the second is to try to use fuel efficiently by wearing warmer clothes and preventing the cold air from coming and out of the house. If you can't cut down the amount of fuel, you might as well try the latter to stay warm in the winter.

The importance of red beans in Patbingsu
Red beans are an import ingredient in making Patbingsu, a Korean snack which is made from shaving ice. It wouldn't be an exaggeration if you say that the ingredient decides how the snack tastes. The red beans are made by steaming red beans and add some sugar in them. If you steam them too much, they would be too mushy. If you steam them for a short period of time, they would be too hard to chew. In addition, if you put too much sugar in them, it would be too sweet to experience the clear and cool taste of ice and other ingredients, such as fruits or jelly. If you put too too less sugar in them, it would be a mere shaved ice with incongruous ingredients.

The reason we become susceptible to disease as we age.
It has been a natural way to think that people age and at the end of the very process, we face death. Who could dare to deny this fate? To most of the people, it even seems almost wise to humbly accept it as it has been thought of. However, there are researchers who study on this subject to confront death, or at least to prolong the span of our lives.
It's not an easy task to find out what kinds of biological machanisms and reactions cause aging and death, but one thing we can be sure is the fact that aging-related diseases do overlap with the reasons of death, and in most cases, they lead us to death in the end. Therefore, it's rational to consider death as an irreversible conclusion or symptom of the diseases which are caused as we age, although the manner to take it is up to individuals themselves.
Then, why do we get those diseases as we age? Although it might sound pretty indifferent, considering how much we care about it, one hypothesis explains the reason: we become more and more susceptible to diseases and eventually die because the evolution of humankind doesn't much care about what happens in our old ages. Taking account of the fact that reproduction takes a crucial part of evolution, and our physiological aging almost conincides with the after moment we finish our reproduction, it can be thought to imply important clues for the question.
