Topic 1. TV & Movies
A lot of people in modern society are hooked on TV. The idiot box has become a "third parent" to our children and a "second spouse" to our wives and husbands. Indeed, in some homes the children, and individually the parents, spend more time with the television than each other. Critics worry that passively watching TV is too absorbing of our time and attention; we not only do not get enough physical exercise, but we do not stimulate our mental activity either.
Another problem is the tendency toward copycat behavior : we dress, talk, and behave in ways that we model after characters on TV and in the movies. This is especially worrisome since so many of these programs are excessively violent and sexually suggestive. Many legal experts believe that delinquency problems are made much worse by young people imitating what they see in the media.
Two steps need to be taken. Frist, parents need to do a better job of policing their TV sets, not only in terms of what their children watch but also how much time they spend doing it. Second, parents and teachers must educate kids to develop a more conscious, critical attitude toward what they watch, instead of just adsorbing it all like a sponge.

Topic 2. Promising careers in 2016
Incruit, an online job agency, has recently announced an interesting list. The list named the 10 most promising jobs for the year 2016. Fifty job experts contributed to the study. They considered various conditions like work environments and wage levels.
Silver sitters topped the list. Silver sitting refers to taking care of the elderly. Korea is one of the fastest aging societies in theworld. By 2016, it is expected that about 16 percent of the entire population will be senior citizens.
Diet programmers and exercise therapists took second and third, respectively. Koreans are interested in health more than ever. A diet programmer gets paid for helping people lose weight. An exercise therapist helps people recover from illnesses.
The therapist focuses on rehabilitation. The list had three jobs related to technology or the Internet.
Cyber police officers ranked sixth, wiretapping prevention experts eighth and cyber teachers 10th. In order to counter the rising number of cyber crimes, more cyber police officers will likely be needed.
Wiretapping prevention experts crack down on bugging in public and private places.
Cyber teachers, or "cychers," teach students online. "If you look closely at the changes in our society, you can predict certain trends in the future job market," said Seo Yong-won, professor at SungKyunKwan University.
