If you had to break up with your girlfriend, Would you rather be a person who dump one's boy/girl friend, or be a person who get dumped by?

If you got ditched in an island which lives no one, Would you rather make a raft to escape or stay there until someone finds you?

sometimes there is a moment that people have to choose between friendship and love. Would you rather choose friendship or love? once you choose, it can be un-done and you have to give up the other for the entire of your life.

reported speech! 



A friend of mine said that 

he had drunk 6 days a week, 

but he had never been late for work.. 



My father told me that 

my grandfather had had clear memory sometimes, 

even though he had suffered from dementia.



One article said that 

King Crabs had been sold in half price,

but it turned out to be a kind of marketing.

There are 2 convenient stores near my home. 


one is GS 25, and another is 7-11. 


GS 25 is just adjacent to my house and the place is larger than 7-11,


thusit seems that they have more stuff than 7-11, but they don't.


the manager is not good at managing the store, 


as a result their shelves are always empty.


but at the same time, the manager of 7-11 is very diligent. 


in spite of their small place, they are always full of good products.


in summary, 7-11 is better

suppose 3~4 kind of situations asking a request with different formality



1. My professor had to attend a seminar and present something, 

but he didn't want to

so he called me and asked,

"Can you present the thing instead of me? 

it will be fun, and will be a good chance for you to get experience of talking in public"



2. at the lunch time, I went a Chinese restaurant with my co-workers. 

I ordered 짬뽕밥, but the waitress missed my order. 

So there was no food for me when the others got their ones.

Waitress apologized and promised to bring my food ASAP,

but my co-workers already finished their dishes. before I got my one.

So I asked to the waitress,

"Would you cancel my order?

 I don't want to start eating when everybody already has finished their food."

SO I SKIPPED MY LUNCH.



3. One of my friend have to move on Saturday. 

He doesn't have much stuff, so he think if some of his friend help him, 

he will be able to move without calling a delivery service.

He asked me, "May I ask you to help me to move on Saturday? I'll buy you beer"

But I refused it flatly without thinking.

오늘 디자이너와 엔지니어의 관점에 세미나를 들었는데 나보다 10살 정도 많은 연사가 오셔서 강연을 하셨다.

내 지도교수님보다 경력이 10년 이상 적은 젊은 교수님이셨지만

그 식견은 우리 교수님




Today, I attended a seminar which was about the difference between designers and engineers.



The speaker, who was only about 10 years older than I am, presented his slides with very fluent English.



and he didn't have as much career as my professor did,


but his insight was amazingly valuable,


so that I could get wider perspective in my own research field.



even though the seminar lasted longer than I expected, I really loved it.
