Topic 1. Life is unfair

In a stunning incident, South Korean fencer Shin Alam saw one second last far too long in her individual epee semifinal against Germany’s Britta Heidemann.

She and her coach appealed, and she stayed alone on the piste for nearly 70 minutes sobbing. The appeal was rejected and thrown mentally, Shin lost in the match for the bronze. On previous days, Cho Jun-ho in the men’s under-66 kilogram judo tournament was awarded a win Sunday (KST) only to have it overturned.

Cho did eventually take bronze. On Saturday (KST), star swimmer Park Tae-hwan went on a rollercoaster ride of an Olympic scale when he was disqualified in the 400-meter freestyle heat — then reinstated several hours later — and then won silver in the event he was expected to claim gold.

The high rate of Korean athletes involved in judging controversies has the country up in arms, in particular, whether the referees are biased against Team Korea. Sports watchers are saying that despite improved performances by South Korean athletes, the prowess of the country’s sports diplomacy has yet to develop. The country currently has two members on the International Olympic Committee — Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee and Moon Dae-sung, former Olympic taekwondo gold medalist. But the modern Olympic Games have always been riddled with controversy.

In London, more than 10,000 athletes are competing for 302 medals in 29 events. This sheer magnitude of people, passion and sweat combined will invariably mean that there will be sweetness of victory, the agony of defeat, and the numbing outrage and frustration over “unfair” calls. Ultimately, it will still be about the pursuit of the highest ideal of sportsmanship and civility. The International Fencing Federation has offered Shin a special medal. The fencer has said that she will focus on her team event first and then consider the IFF’s offer.

Topic 2. How to heal your body and mind

When Lee Mi-na opened her spa, “SPA THE EL” in southern Seoul in 2011, she had one

goal. On top of facials and body massages, the former TV personality wanted to offer treatments for the mind.

The spa specializes in special services such as color therapy and counseling, which aid in improving mood and reducing the risk of depression.

Lee, who spent many years in the television industry, says she was severely depressed in high school.

“I am the kind of person who cares about what others think about me,” Lee told The Korea Herald in her office.

“What really bothered me was how people judged me based on my grades at school. And I really didn’t think my grades said much about who I was.”

Lee remembered drinking a lot and wandering around the streets alone to fight the mood. But she only started feeling better about herself when her mother hired a new, caring tutor for her.

“After helping me with my studies, she would make sure she and I spent some time talking,” said Lee, who now counsels her clients on their personal problems and traumas. “And she would really just listen to what I had to say. Having someone who listened to me made a huge difference in my life.”

Even when she was working as a TV personality, Lee always thought of doing something for people who struggle with confidence issues or depression. Her mother also suffered menopause depression, she says.

Lee and her mother are not alone. According to a recent report released by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, virtually all Seoul residents, regardless of age and gender, are suffering from mild depression.

Symptoms of depression include loss of interest in daily activities, either insomnia or oversleeping, self-loathing, and significant weight loss and weight gain.

Q.

1. These days, many people have been interested in how to heal the body and mind from stress. Why do you think this kind of syndrome has happened?

2. What sort of ways do you use to heal yourself?

Discuss the your own way to take care of yourself.

3. Are you feeling tired or good to do your best to work?

If you feel exauseted in your office, how can you take the rest?

4. Have you ever traveled to heal your body or soul?

If, where have you been?

5. Where is the best country in terms of healing ?

See u on sat.
