Last Journal

In this class, I have written lots of English writings I have ever did in my whole life ! Actually, I thought writing journal every week would not be helpful for me because I just write and there is no one who corrects my wrong grammar or structures. However, I think this assignment really helped me ! To write one journal, I should think of all of my ideas in English, which is a good method to reorganize my all thoughts in English. I always have interest in writing so I can promise all of you I will keep practicing English writing in Korea, but speaking English is still a big problem to me.!!!.... I will try to have confidence in speaking, and if I do like that I believe I can meet with good results someday.
I won't forget a wealth of delightful memories in this class ! Thanks Sean and all my classmates !!!!!!!!!!!!
I cross my fingers and hope you guys attain a big success~~~~!!! :)

I always have been interested in nature and the culture of undeveloped human beings. This movie attracted my attention thorough the whole beautiful scenes and the topic. In particularly, I am really impressed with "Adorment", how cultures around the world decorate themselves, because my research essay topic is also Cosmetics, so I found out something similar with my topic in this themes.

The native people draw several lines on their face with white materials and also on their stomach. I think it means they want to protect themselves from wild animals and shows their hope to be attractive to others. And during my essay, I found out the reason why native people decorate their hair style gorgeously is they want to distinguish themselves from other tribes. Each tribe has their own tradition and their culture, so it is no wonder about their decoration of the outer appearance. They also wined their body with red and blue threads. Even some of children pierced their chin and hanged up colorful rings. Their clothes were all red, yellow, blue and something bright color which are hand made by themselves. The most interesting scene was their dancing scenes with many neighborhood in a circle. They looked very comfortable and were all absorbed in dacing together. I realized the definition of happiness is different each person and each culture. In my eyes, their life didn't look wealthy or rich, but they had a freedom I can't feel in my life. So I want to live like them someday....:D(I am not sure! when the day comes ! )
