Topic1. Gum disease

 A new study shows that people today have more gum disease than people living 2,000 years ago. The study is from the university King's College in London and is published in the 'British Dental Journal'. Researchers looked at the teeth in the skulls of 303 people who lived between 200-400 AD (2,200-2,400^* years ago). The skulls were found at an old burial site in the west of England. The researchers found that only 5 per cent of the skulls showed signs of gum disease. Up to 30 per cent of people in England today have gum disease. Professor Francis Hughes was surprised by what he found. He said people did not have toothbrushes or toothpaste back then and did not visit dentists, like we do today.

The main reason why modern people have more gum disease is smoking. Theya Molleson, co-author of the report, said the study shows that people's oral health has become much worse over the past 2,000 years. She added that she thinks gum disease could start going down from now as more people stop smoking. She said: "As smoking declines in the population, we should see a decline in the [numbers of people with] the disease." Gum disease happens when bacteria build up in your mouth. The bacteria eat away at your gums and can make your teeth fall out. People can reduce the risk of gum disease by regular brushing, using mouthwash and not smoking.

Questions

1. Are you surprised by what you read?

2. What kind of condition are your teeth and gums in?

3. Is it easy to look after your teeth and gums?

4. What do you think of going to the dentist?

5. Why don't people know that smoking is bad for your gums?

6. What would you do if your teeth fell out?

7. How important is it to floss and use mouthwash?

8. Why did people have better teeth 2,000 years ago?

Topic2.  Toilet Theme Park

 A city in South Korea has added a new attraction to its cultural landscape - the world's first "Toilet Theme Park". The Restroom Cultural Park in the city of Suwon is proving a huge hit with locals and tourists alike. The latest tourist site is dedicated to the memory of former city mayor Sim Jae-duck, affectionately known as "Mr Toilet". He believed the toilet is a very important and under-appreciated aspect of world culture. Visitors to the park can admire its toilet-bowl-shaped exhibition hall as well as dozens of bronze statues in various toilet positions. They can even sit on Mr Kim's original toilet, which includes a full-length glass door that mists up when it is being used.

Suwon has become well known for the promotion of toilet culture. The city attracts toilet-related artwork from around the world to its galleries. It famously hosts the Golden Poop Art Festival – a celebration of one of the calls of nature. The city also lists dozens of its own public toilets as tourist attractions on its website. Sim Jae-duck's own giant, toilet-shaped house, now a museum, should be the must-see for enthusiasts. Mr Sim's fascination with toilets supposedly began because he was born in the smallest room of his mother's house. He said : "The toilet…can save humankind from diseases [and is] a place for introspection. The toilet is also a central living place that possesses culture."

Questions

1. What do you think of a Toilet Theme Park?

2. What is toilet culture in our country?

3. How interested are you in visiting this park?

4. What can the park do to attract more visitors?

5. Do you think other Toilet Theme Parks will open around the world?

6. Do you have a favorite or hated toilet?

7. What new exhibitions could the park have?

8. What was your most terrible experience with toilet?

우리반을 처음 찾으시는 분들을 위한 안내의 글입니다.

   - 마이존엔 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 마이존 경험을 시작해 보세요.

     색다른 즐거움과 motivation이 기다리고 있습니다.

           한시간 남짓한 시간이 가져다 주는 활력과 즐거움을 이루 표현할 수가 없네요 ㅎㅎ
