good job so far! day by day things will get easier, you will relax more. I'll get some listening choices up on another page soon.

Today
We talked about hometown places to see, and how to improve the university.

Be specific in your answers, be clear and exact.

Hometown is not the same as neighborhood, hometown is where YOU feel comfortable, often where you went to middle school and high school, where you can find friends, even if your family doesn't live there anymore. We often think our neighborhood is small enough that we can walk around and know many people, hometown can be huge, like "all of Daegu" or, in my case, San Diego, which is about 100km north-south and 100km east-west.

Tomorrow

• Read this article on current issues, and be ready to talk about the issue (not just the newspaper article). You might want to read other places about this. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2010/06/116_68149.html


• Talk about your family -- can be the "nuclear" family (parents and children only) or the "extended" family (cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, all the folks you meet)
