 Topic1. Too much gaming is mental health issue

  The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that too much gaming is officially a mental health problem. The WHO has put "gaming addiction" as a mental health condition on its official list of diseases. The list is called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). It says that gaming disorder happens when people cannot stop playing and gaming becomes more important than other interests in life. The WHO says this must happen for at least a year for a doctor to say someone has gaming disorder. Someone with gaming disorder will insist on gaming even if they know they have a problem and they have suffered "negative consequences" from gaming too much.

The WHO said doctors should be aware that addiction to gaming is a clear and present danger to people's health because it has "serious" consequences. A WHO spokesman said: "Most people who play video games don't have a disorder, just like most people who drink alcohol don't have a disorder either. However, in certain circumstances, overuse can lead to adverse effects." Some doctors believe that too much gaming should not be considered a mental illness. Psychiatrist Allen Frances compared an addiction to gaming to coffee addiction. He said: "Billions of people around the world are hooked on caffeine for fun or better functioning, but only rarely does this cause more trouble than its worth."

Questions

1. What do you think of gaming?

7. Is gaming a waste of time?
8. What 'negative consequences' might there be from gaming too much?

Topic2. Bangkok street-food chef says no to international cooking honor

A street-food seller in Bangkok wants to give back a top international chef's award. The street-food seller is known as the "crab omelet queen". Her name is Supinya Junsuta but she calls herself Jai Fai. Her street stall is in the middle of Bangkok and it is called Raan Jai Fai. Her crab omelets are of such good quality that the international dining guide Michelin awarded her a Michelin Star. A Michelin Star is one of the highest awards any chef in the world can receive. It is usually only given to chefs in top hotels and restaurants. Michelin announced it would be adding Bangkok to its fine dining lists. Many people were surprised that a street-food seller in Bangkok received the Michelin Star.

 Chefs are usually happy to get the Michelin Star, but Jai Fai, 72, has told reporters she is not so pleased that she got the award. She wants to return the star to Michelin. Ms Fai said the star has changed her life too much. She wants to go back to how her life was before. She said she does not like the fame that has come with the star. One reason is that too many people are surrounding her stall and she is getting stressed. Tourists come to take photos; passers-by stop to watch her; and even some officials from the tax department came to visit her. Fai said: "Many people come just to look and take pictures and not necessarily to eat." She said happy customers are more important to her than "a million stars".

Questions

1. What do you think of street food?
2. How is street food different from restaurant food?
3. What is the best street food in your country?
4. What do you think of crab omelets?
5. What do you know about the Michelin dining guide?
6. What would it be like to be a chef?
7. How good is it that a street-food seller got a chef's award?
8. What do you think of fine dining?
 

초중급반이란?

 - "꿈틀"엔 초급과 중급이 나뉘어져 open class로 운영되고 있습니다.(정원제가 아니라는 뜻입니다^^)

     그러나, 별다른 인터뷰도 없고 오로지 본인의 판단만으로 반을 결정해야 하는 문제점이 있네요..

     초급과 중급사이에서 모호함을 느끼는 분들~은 초중급반에서 부터 래팅 경험을 시작해 보세요.

     색다른 즐거움과 motivation이 기다리고 있습니다.

    우리반은 매주 신입멤버를 모집합니다.

  스터디 운영 방식은요?
