Under COVID-19, everything has changed. As an international student, I decided to stay longer in the United States. I’m not sure how long I can keep studying here. One thing I cannot do is waste my time. Also, I have to figure out some productive things to do, such as practicing English skills and taking summer counseling classes. Sometimes, I feel negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, and regret. I believe this happens not only to me, but also to many others during this unprecedented situation. The more I focus on doing something productive, even in quarantine, the less I feel negative feelings.

Impromptu speech practice in Toastmasters club
Impromptu speech practice in Toastmasters club
Theme: Hot Fun in the Summer Time
My plan about Hot Fun in the Summer Time is working out in the gym. Yesterday, I decided to lose weight because I have been getting fat. Today, I woke up at 6:00 am. I went to the Gym at my school. I was surprised because there were more people than I thought. There were couples working out together. I felt a little bit jealous. It makes me motivated. I really want to ameliorate my daily routine to be more productive. I’m going to work out with my wife during the rest of the summer break as much as I can. But I’m not sure whether she will agree or not. In there I can play ping pong, playing basketball, playing soccer, and swimming in the gym. It’s all free for students. I’m going enjoying working out in the gym.

The Role of Grammarian in Toastmasters Club
Thank you Mr. Toastmater
As grammarian Today, my duty and responsibility are to listen to the speeches and the evaluators to look for creative language as well as things that increase the value of the speech. I'll also be just looking for general English and grammar
I'll be looking for our word of the day which is "spontaneity".
It means voluntary or undetermined action or movement and impulsive action. My example of this word is that "Joining the Toastmaster club was an act of spontaneity for me to get me out of my comfort zone.
You can use this word today. I'll be looking for the inclusion of this word in speeches. Thank you.

Valentine day in America
My Valentine was good. I want to make our valentine day memorable for my wife. Because my wife has sacrificed for my study after coming to America. She has been trying to support me. I really appreciate her support.
In order to make a memorable Valentine day for us. I went to Kroger and bought Godiva chocolate, letter, and Korea noodle because she likes to eat noodle. I seriously wrote a letter and placed all the things on her desk. It was kind of surprising event. I didn’t notice her that I prepare already gifts for her.
After finishing her class, she went back to our home. At that time, I pretended to make a appointment with my neighbor. Then, I leave from my home while she was noticing my gift in her room. She sent me a message on the cell phone. It was so impressive, she said and she was crying. Even though, it was not a big event. But I’m so happy to please her. It was a memorable Valentine day which we met first in America.

My thoughts about the cultural differences between Korea and America, as a Korean in America.
After being here, I've been feeling like there are some differences between Korean culture and American culture.
First of all, the religious culture. I usually attend the America church every Sunday morning, and then I go to the Korean church in the afternoon. The Korean church always has a fellowship meeting after the worship service. For example, we always have lunch together after worship service share and share stories about our lives. It is a very important time because it allows people to develop close relationships. The Korean church members are apt to prioritize their Christian community over their family. Even more, some church members expect the pastor to prioritize his church work over his family.
On the other hand, the American church seems to prioritize their family over the church community. I also came across a sermon that the pastor used to emphasize the value of family in the Bible. Moreover, I noticed that all the church members went home except those in the fellowship meeting. It was very interesting.

hobbies
I think that hobbies are the significant thing to keep a valance for our life. If people only do studying and working, they would be exhausted.
There are many hobbies like writing a postcard, reading books, Gardening, correcting stamp, Travelling, watching a movie, playing soccer.
Watching a movie gives me pleasure. When I watch a movie has made well, I feel so happy. I like music in the movie, and the characters' play and scenario has made well. It gives me a great sense of fulfillment. I think the movie has the ability to change people's thought.
For example, when I was watching The fighter made by the director, David O. Russell. it's about the brother's story. The old brother who was a famous boxer, but now he is addicted to cocaine, the younger brother is a boxer. he has prepared for his career as a champion. He has dreamed to be as his older brother. To help younger brother, older brother keep in his mind to quit cocaine. Then he begins to help his brother as a trainer. Finally, his younger brother got the champion title. It was a very beautiful story. It gave me not only impressed but also, allowing me to think about my self and my problems. It makes me change my negative thought and bad habit in my daily life.

What do you hope to achieve by the end of 2019?
What do you hope to achieve by the end of 2019?
I hope that my English skill will improve up to the intermediate level because I would like to help people with the counseling. However, in order to help people, I should effectively interact with someone who wants to solve their problem. To achieve this goal, I will attend Toastmasters to practice public speaking every Monday. Then, I will take the one on one English class by italki on February 1. Moreover, I’m going to practice English with my American friends every day as much as I can. Of course, I will do my best for this upcoming semester.
Next, I hope to accomplish getting in the internship until the end of 2019 because I can have a chance to meet someone who wants to help of their problem in their mind online. By chatting, I would help them with what I have learned in my school.

Traveling in Tongyoung in Korea
A couple of years ago, I was in Tongyoung in Korea with my wife. It was a great time. We went to Dalmaji-park, LeeSoonSin-memorial park, Jansa-island these scape were fantastic. Also, We ate GGul-bbang, Oyster dish. These tasted really good.
But we are embarrassed because after woke up in the last day of our trips, the bed was painted by blue color. The reason why is that we wore blue couple color t-shirts which we had bought in Thailand before. We should pay for this bed. Due to this happening, traveling in Tongyoung is a memorable vacation in my life.
