SHELF #3 A Radio Channel With Hailey!

 
 
I was planning to  HANG-OUT with a friend.
However, I decided at the last minute that I wanted to do a radio channel instead of hang-out.
We had some technical issues :-(
It turned out that radio show was so much fun!
 
I tried to act and speak like a radio panel.
Asked a guest about her proffesional life and private life as well.
We also talked about things going on with her.
It was great and I enjoyed it very much.
 
I realized that I still need to work on some smooth English.
I said to a guest, "Please say last words for us"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my..........
What a terrible mistake!
In this case, it would have been better if I'd said,
 "Well, have a nice evening and say good byes to our listeners"
 
Even though I didn't record a video for it,
it was helpful because I can be more objective listening to it.
 
I'm pretty satisfied with it :-)
 
You can listen to it and can give me some tips as well!
 
Enjoy!

SHELF #2

 
 
J.K.Rowling's Havard Commencement Address
 
 
It may be boring, but I found it very useful doing this!
 
First, I watched it over and over again.
 
Second, I printed the script and try to figure out the phrases.
 
Third, I worked on some vocabs that I don't understand and put some of them on Quizlet.
 
Then I shadow read it.
 
Finally, I recorded it!
 
 





Her British accent is not hard as others, so it wasn't very hard to understand her.

Because she is a writer, her speech sounded very excting and fun.

 and might be helpful for someone :-)


nausea: 멀미
Quixotic: 괴이한 (came from 'Don Quixote'! Isn't it cool?)

vocational degree: 직업관련 학위
scuttled off: 허둥지둥 달려가다

Shadow Reading

 

It wasn't hard to shadow read it because she speaks very slowly, but I still wanted to do it.

The reason why I chose it is that she talks with so much emotions.

I wanted talk like her with intonations and expressions and I especially liked

 her "r" sound when she says "really really"!

after: https://clyp.it/v4afgck5




Shadow reading part:
 


Ugh, dammit. That is so goddamn disappointing, Louie.

Louie, you know what the meanest thing is you can say to a fat girl? "You're not fat." I mean, come on, buddy. It just sucks. It really really sucks. You have no idea. And the worst part is, I'm not even supposed to do this. Tell anyone how bad it sucks, because it's too much for people. I mean, you, you can talk into the microphone and say you can't get a date, you're overweight. It's adorable. But if I say it, they call the suicide hotline on me.

I mean, can I just say it? I'm fat. It sucks to be a fat girl. Can people just let me say it? It sucks. It really sucks. And I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's your fault.
Look, I really like you, you're truly a good guy, I think. I'm so sorry. I'm picking you. On behalf of all the fat girls, I'm making you represent all the guys. Why do you hate us so much? What is about the basics of human happiness, feeling attractive, feeling loved, having guys chase after us, that's just not in the cards for us? Nope. Not for us.
How is that fair? And why am I supposed to just accept it?

Ji's job (mock) interview



This is embarrassing!


Well, I get really nervous when it comes to the interview or presentation.
I get blushed (really really R.E.D)
However, it was great experience doing mock interview during audiovisual class.

It's uncomfortable watching myself through the video, but I got to know
not only what my problems are, but good things as well.
I guess I should stop moving so much and I need to put my hands down, seriously.



There are some points I want to improve!

1. Do not smile or laugh too much!
 (It's good to smile, but too much of it could make you look not serious about the interview.)

2. Speak clearly.
(You mumble too much, Ji!)

3. Keep your head still.
(You shake your head too much!)

4. Vocabulary!
(Try to be familiar with vocabularies related to the job before the interview)

5. Be confident!!!!!!
(You are doing good, trust yourself. don't worry about the mistakes :-))










Plus, please tell me I'm prettier than this. Haha!

Quizlet set!


This is my final Quizlet set!
Try it!

I think Quizlet helped me a lot on some difficult English words that are
not easily recognized or memorized.

First, it's visual. I love this part the most!!!
Second, it keeps you to study the word by activities like flash card and test.
Finally, you really get to know all these 50 words!!!

If you are not an English speaker, you should definitely try Quizlet!

UPCOMING SHELF PROJECTS

 
#1
Do you know what 'Muk-bang' means?
 
As a non-native English speaker, I always have hard time
finding right expression or figuring out the real meaning of English, especially idioms and slangs.
So this time, my group and I are going to spend some time to learn
not only English idioms but how to say Korean idioms and slangs in English as well!
Get excited!
 
 
 
#2
A destination for SUMMER 15'!
 
I love traveling.
I guess everyone does.
This weekend, I'm going to JEJU ISLAND!!!!!!
I've always wanted to video filming my trip and I realized that it is perfect time to do it for my SUMMER 15' series!
I'm little concern about it since I'm not a tech-person, but I'll try my best to record it through the whole trip and make it like the one below (or not).
For some English learning,
I will probably write journal and try to put everything I see and feel
then re-record it in English and try to learn every words or phrase that I'm not familiar with.
See you very soon!

SHELF PROJECT 1 "Stand up and get yourself ready!"




Here's our first video for the hot summer 15'!
Since it's our very first project, it might not be perfect,
but I hope you'd enjoy watching it :-)








We will come back with another fun video!
See you soon!





Reviewing my first SHELF project....

I've learned some new physical words and expressions,

but I wish I could have done better.
It would have been better if there were more explanation I guess.
 I liked the way we discussed after the yoga part, sharing some thoughts together.
On the next project, I will try to push my self harder
and make more effort to it! :-)

Shadow speaking from 'Erin Brockovich'



I had a lot of fun doing this! I felt like I was Julia Roberts by shadowing her speaking.
It helped me on stress, accent, and intonation. 
I have Korean accent on specific words that are long and hard to pronounce.
It was easy shadowing as I was listening but I found it harder when speaking alone afterwards.
I'd like to do it againg with other videos.

meet my pups!

 
Those of you who already watched my self introduction video,
would know my puppy "Saengdoo".
 
Well,
few days ago Coco came to my house and she is now with our family.
My cousin in Seoul adopted her but he couldn't take care of her anymore
 because his baby, my niece, is having a skin problem.
 
Coco is a year old Bichon Frise.
Isn't she lovely?

In a relationship, TRUST is (almost) EVERYTHING!!!!

 
Last class my group members and I were dicussing about
relationship in general.
We talked about almost everything about relationship between girlfriend and boyfriend.
 
 
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now and we've been trough good and bad.
One of the most important things in relationship for me is "trust"
I was one of the girls who does not trust any guy!
I tried really hard to get over it and now I have absolute faith in our relationship.
 
 
I found this fun video below that I want to shared with my classmate :)

10 Ways To Look Taller




 
I watch a lot of tutorial videos on youtube and this is one of them.
In this video they talk about 10 ways to look taller
It is impossible to get taller as you are grown up but they tell us
on how to trick to look tall and be fashionable at the same time!

I find it interesting because it helps me on getting information
whenever I need and gives some tips on things I like.
Fashion, Beauty, Health and Diet, Design and etc.
 
In this video, the youtuber talks slowly so I could hear her very clearly.
There are subtitles on important message she want to talk about so it helps me
on learning English as well. 
 

 
Language Learning Points

1. It is so much easier to learn a language with subject that you are interested in!

2. Watch or Use media daily but not too long to get bored.

3. Don't try to understand everything they say but to figure out by their gestures and background.
