Final Homework

Congratulations students, this is your final homework of the semester. Most of you have done an excellent job with the homework.
For this homework, you should look on a website that has news videos. Some examples are Yahoo News, CNN News, and MTV News.

1) Choose a video that is interesting to you, and listen to it a couple times.
2) Make a Yes/No chart about the video, similar to page 126. You should have about 5 questions.
3) Post the link to your video and your chart on this website by next Thursday.

Week 12 Overview/Week 13 Intro

Hey guys, in week 12 we studied how to answer Ordering Questions. These questions usually ask you about the steps in a process. For example, what happened first, next, finally, etc. These questions might also ask you to rank 3 or 4 things, like we talked about in class.
This week, we will talk about matching questions and completing charts. This is the last topic we will study before the final exam.
Here are the two presentations since the midterm exam. The first one is about replay questions, the second about ordering questions. There will be questions from these presentations on the final exam.

Replay Questions
Ordering Questions

See you all on Friday!

Week 11 Overview

In week 11, we began to study ordering questions. You guys did a great job with the class activity of writing directions for other students to follow. That was a lot of fun. In week 12, we will continue to study ordering questions as well as matching questions.
The semester is coming quickly to an end. Keep working hard! There are only about 3 or 4 more weeks until the final exam.
Finally, here is the video that we watched in class, I hope you enjoy it.



Have a great week, and I will see you guys next Friday! :)

Homework 5

For this homework, I want you to find a movie/TV scene that you like and make a replay question. You can use Youtube or another site that has videos.

When you make a comment, copy the link and write your question with 4 possible answers. As always, homework is due by Thursday at 10pm.


Have fun!

Translating Songs

Hey guys. One of my favorite hobbies these days is translating my favorite Korean songs to English. Everyone knows that I love Jaurim, so I have translated a few of there songs, including '미안해 널미워해' and '낙화'. Here is an example of my translation:



모두들 잠든 새벽 세 시 나는 옥상에 올라왔죠
하얀색 십자가, 붉은 빛 십자가
우리 학교가 보여요
조용한 교정이, 어두운 교실이
엄마, 미안해요
아무도 내곁에 있어주지 않았어요
아무런 잘못도 나는 하지 않았어요
왜나를 미워하나요? 난 매일밤 무서운 꿈에 울어요
왜나를 미워했나요? 꿈에서도 난 달아날 수 없어요
사실은 난 더 살고 싶었어요
이제는 날 좀 내버려두세요
...내일 아침이면, 아무도 다시는 나를, 나를...

When everybody was sleeping at 3 am I came up to the roof
A white cross, a red-lit cross
I can see the school
The quiet schoolyard, the dark classroom
Mom, I'm sorry
Nobody was next to me
I didn't make any mistakes
Why do you hate me? I cry in my nightmares every night
Why did you hate me? Even in my dreams I can't get out
Actually I wanted to keep living
Just let me go from now on
When tomorrow morning comes nobody will...me

새벽-Late night
옥상-Roof
오르다, 올라오다- Go up, come up
하얗다-White
십자가-Cross
붉다-Red
빛-Light, colour
학교-School
교정-School yard
어둡다-Dark
잘못-Mistake
울다-Cry
달아나다-
사실-Fact, actually
더-More
이제-From now on
아침-Morning
다시-Again

Well, this song is pretty easy to translate. These days, my new favorite song is '청춘예찬' by Jaurim of course. Do you know this song? Let's listen.



I think this song is really beautiful. I have been trying to translate it recently, but it's much more difficult than the other songs. If you want to try to translate, I think it would be fun. It's not homework, just for fun. You can try just one sentence, one part, or the whole thing.

Here are the lyrics:

청춘예찬(靑春禮瓚)

눈물이 가만히 내 입술을 적시네
고독이 조용히 내 어깨를 감싸네

하늘은 가슴 시리도록 높고 푸르고
젊은 나는 젊은 날을 고뇌하네

침묵이 가만히 내 입술을 적시네
어둠이 조용히 내 어깨를 감싸네

세상은 눈이 부시도록 넓고 환하고
젊은 나는 내 젊음을 절망하네

라라라라 라 라라
일월의 태양처럼
무기력한 내 청춘이여

라라라라 라 라라
닿을수 없는 먼곳의
별을 늘 나는 갈망한다

먼 밤하늘로
천사는 날아오르네
라-라-라
순결한 별들이 죄도 없이 지네
갈곳을 잃은 외로운 모래와 같이

나의 두눈은
공허를 보네
.
.
.
먼 밤하늘로
천사는 날아오르네
라-라-라-
순결한 별들이 죄도 없이 지네
갈곳을 잃은 외로운 모래와 같이

나의 두눈은
공허를 보네

라라라라 라 라라
일월의 태양처럼
무기력한 내 청춘이여

라라라라 라 라라
닿을수 없는 먼곳의
별을 늘 나는 갈망한다

눈물이 가만히
내 입술을 적시네

PS - I have learned hundreds of Korean words by translating songs. Maybe you can do the same with English words!
