Outside Jogging and Inside Jogging

Most people like to jog for their health. Some people like to jog at the gym, and others like to jog outside. What do you think which one is more beneficial? There are many differences between these two types of jogging. Indoor jogging means using machines. First, it is not affected by the weather. No matter it is raining or snowing outside, people just can jog inside. Also, inside jogging is individual exercise so that people can enjoy listening to music and watching TV at the same time.


Outside jogging is quite different from indoor jogging. Before you go out, people should check the weather. It is completely affected by the weather outside. They should prepare the sunglasses, waterproof clothes or gloves as the weather. This type of jogging can enjoy with other people who want to jog in special cases such as at night, in rainy day, or in sunny day. They can also enjoy the fresh air. These two types of jogging have differences, but it both has a common benefit; no time cannot be an excuse for these exercises. The exercises can be done whenever and wherever the people want.

Korean Education or Canada Education?

If you take a test, where can you get better grade in Korea or Canada? There are many differences between education in Korea and Canada. First, Korea students have to take about ten subjects. There is no choice. When they prepare for midterm exam or final exam, they have to study all subjects. Second, the test format is mostly composed of multiple-choice question like TOFEL. In this case, the students are required memorizing skills. Also, after the test, most students get a grade in a rank so that they know where they are in total ranks.


However, Canada is quite different from Korea. First, Canada students have to take four or three courses in a semester. Canada has smaller school courses than Korea. Also, they can choose one of many elective courses. Second, the test formats are usually one-paragraph questions or short answer questions. Therefore, the students are required writing skills. In addition to grade, the students in Canada get a grade from A to F. They do not know their ranks. Whether the students are educated by Korean system or Canadian system, they would be ready for one of the members of future society.

About great things

”Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” It means that if somebody wants to make a special thing or unique idea, the person should think unique idea instead of general opinion. In a fashion style, there is a good example in Korea. In 1960, a famous woman singer, Bokhee Yun, wore mini skirt in a fashion show for the first time. Journalists criticized her style severely, but the style became popular rapidly. Police officers measured length with a bamboo ruler. If the length, from knee to skirt, is over fifteen centimeters, police officer arrested the woman at once. Wearing a miniskirt was a fad, but now most teenagers like to wear a miniskirt even school uniform. The singer did not yield to general opinion so she made a new trend. If you want to try your unique idea, do not to be aware of other’s opinion. Maybe Your idea will be a new great one.

How simple a Egg Muffin is !

 One of my important missions is making  four lunch boxes for my family within thirty minutes. I always think how I can prepare for lunch quickly. One of my solutions is egg muffin.  It's simple and fast. First, prepare  muffin breads, eggs , salami, and cheese. Second, use frying pan. After hitting a pan, bake eggs, salami, and breads. If you follow this order, you don't need any other pan. Last, put all things on the bread and wrap! If you add  some vegetables, it will be perfect nutrition. My mission is solved.
