Korea to implement special traffic measures for summer holiday season

A forest full of deciduous trees.

It's the Gotjawal Forest, located on the mid-slopes of Halla-san Mountain on Jeju-do Island. This forest was naturally formed on volcanic rocks when the lava from Halla-san cooled off hundreds of years ago.

Now, about 10% of the unique forest has been transformed into a recreation park, thanks to a project by the Jeju Free International City Development Center.

It took the team 6 years to build winding trails and rest areas in the forest, so that visitors can closely experience its natural wonders.

"Here in Jeju, most of the trees in the area are called 'thorn trees.'"

Gotjawal is also unique in that it's the only place in the world where tropical and polar plants coexist.

Its well-preserved ecosystem is also a sanctuary for wild animals.

"I just saw a roe deer at a very close range. I was also able to hear many bird calls that I've never heard before. I definitely felt rejuvenated here."

The park has five different walking trails which add up to about 6.5 kilometers altogether.

There's also an eco-learning center near the park to remind visitors about the true value of Gotjawal.

"In addition to providing natural oxygen for Jeju residents, we hope that the Gotjawal Park will become a place of healing for visitors."

Donald Trump dominates U.S. Republican presidential debate

There may be 17 Republican hopefuls for next year's election for the President of the United States.

But as the party's first presidential debate showed, all eyesand ears were on just one man.

"Mr. Trump."

A defiant Donald Trump stole the show at the first GOP presidential primary debate on Thursday, proving himself, once again, as the frontrunner of the right-wing party.

The televised debate hosted by Fox News invited the top 10 Republican candidates, including Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, and Scott Walker.

The two-hour debate heated up as Fox News moderators threw some tough questions at Mr. Trump, including past offensive comments about women.

At first, Trump responded with a joke, saying the comments were only aimed at his old nemesis, Rosie O'Donnell.

When the moderator challenged him back, Trump admitted to making such comments, but said he wasn't sorry, because he has no time for "political correctness."

"What I say is what I say. And honestly Megyn, if you don't like it, I'm sorry. I've been very nice to you although I could probably not be, based on the way you have treated me. But I wouldn't do that."

The tycoon also got booed by the audience, when he refused to rule out a third-party run.

He was the only candidate to raise his hand when asked if anyone would not make the pledge to run as an independent candidate.

In the end, Trump had the longest speaking time in the two-hour faceoff, with 11 minutes and 14 seconds, followed by Jeb Bush at 8 minutes and 48 seconds.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party announced on Thursday that it will hold its first presidential primary debate in October, hosted by CNN.

By next summer, both parties will have one presidential nominee each to take part in the official showdown for the White House.

Questions

1.    What do you think about political activities of businessman?

2.    Do you think Korea will get positive/negative effect if Donald Trump who is famous businessman become US president?

4.      Part 4 – Picture speaking (5:00 – 5:30)

①    Pick up one picture card and select your partner.

②    Explain your idea, feeling, experience what you have when you see the card to your partner.

③    5 minute later, you must swap your card with your partner and go to another partner.
