Storytelling script

1. Your childhood/your family/ your hometown

My name was named by my paternal grandfather. It means the core of beauty. I am not quite sure that this name suits me, but I will try to become one that deserves the name. I must work both on inner beauty and outer beauty.

My childhood is precious. Since I lived in Gwacheon city, Gyeonggi Province from when I was 3 years old, all of my childhood memory is in the city. Gwacheon has three mountains and lots of trees. The environment was remarkable for kids to do outdoor activities.

My family members are mom, dad and older brother. I rely mostly on my mom in consulting issues or having a chat. Mom and I can share many things as women in shopping and doing household chores. Also mom is the one who is always in my side to protect me and understand my stance.

Dad is the one who provides offers and comes up with ideas. He gives me news articles, books to read and offers me to discuss the issues with him. My older brother is always my best friend when we have some topic to talk about in common. We exchange jokes and ordinary chat but he is not always so friendly.

2. Your personality ( eg. from MBTI)

My MBTI test told me many things about my personality and I mostly agree. It said that I am passionate and active, with abundant imagination. I am also creative and good at socializing, especially talented with advertising, writing, consulting and educating. I also cannot stand the repetitive daily life and lose energy when trapped in that boring routine. I get impressed easily and cry a lot. My face shows my emotion thoroughly and I love to meet new people. It also commented me that I have a natural talent in making people happy. I do not deeply believe in this test but this is very pleasing.

3. Your learning style/how you have studied English

I mostly studied English through listening pop songs and watching Disney movies. Listen and repeat is the keyword in my learning of English. Memorizing what the actors said and mimicking them was very helpful. I watched from animations to amazing movies such as the Dead Poet’s Society. Even though I could not understand the stories as a whole, I enjoyed watching them and it turns out that it was the most effective way to learn English.

4. Your vision/What makes you choose Eng. Edu. at CAU?

My vision in this department at CAU is to be educated to become the standard English instructor. I want to be the role model of Korean students, and for that, I need to work more on my personality, delivery in English and knowledge. English education was not my final goal when I was drawing my own dream blue print. I dreamed of working at international organizations such as the United Nations. However, among other majors, I thought English education was the best choice. It is partially about the division of international studies that I used to learn, and the professional English knowledge would be helpful in setting my career.
