리더 Alex 입니다. 설 연휴 다들 잘 보내고 있나요?이번 주는 스터디를 할까 말까 고민을 하다가 그래도 서울에 남은 사람들을 위해~하기로 했지요. 오늘은 이태원에서..내일은 신촌에서 보도록 해요. ^^     Topic 1. Parks   There is a small park very close to my house. People come there to get some exercise. They take a walk, go for a run, ride their bikes, or do other sports activities. They also bring their dogs out for a walk at the park. The park is a very good place for family activities. Families come out together in the evenings to cool off and enjoy the breeze. It is a great place to get some fresh air anytime of the day. Overall, I think parks are great places to have. That’s probably why there is a park in every neighborhood.    Question 1. Do you like to stay at park? And, what do you personally do when you go to parks? 2. Can you explain why the park is important in our life? 3. Talk about a memorable incident and a specific memory you had at a park. 4.

There are also tons of prep courses for the Korean college entrance exam. Most Korean students make use of these online courses these days. You can also prep for English tests such as TOEFL, TOEIC, or OPIC online. There are even cyber universities that offer college courses online. Plus, you can learn yoga, makeup, dancing, or magic online these days.    Question 1. Have you ever taken online courses in the past? If not, how about the broadcasting courses? 2. What do you think of online courses? Do you think they are helpful? 3. There are various ways to learn something by online, offline in private institute, and self-study.
