Topic1. repair our own teeth

People in Britain can now repair their own teeth. They can buy special dental kits in supermarkets to fix fillings (called cavities in the USA) and repair caps and crowns. The kits can cost as little as $7. Many people are buying these kits because they cannot afford to go to the dentist. The cost of having a tooth filled at a dentist in England can cost up to $70, which is ten times higher than the price of the dental kit. One of the biggest selling products is a kit called DenTek. Britons bought around 250,000 of these last year. Britain's Dental Health Foundation (DHF) said one in five people in the UK would do DIY dentistry on their own teeth or the teeth of family and friends. DIY dentistry includes actually pulling out a tooth.

Britain is famous for the quality of its free health service. However, this service does not include dental work. The fact that DIY dentistry is increasing so quickly in Britain shows that there is a lot of poverty and inequality in the country. The poorest people cannot afford to go to the dentist. A spokeswoman for a local community in Scotland said: "DIY dentistry is fairly common here. They sell a lot of those dental kits – you can buy them in [supermarkets]. And you've got people taking care of their whole family's teeth." The DHF said many people would rather spend their money on a haircut or a night out than on their teeth. She said different people place different importance on visiting the dentist.

Questions

1. What do you think of DIY dentistry?

2. Do you think the DIY dentistry kits work?

3. What are your teeth like?

4. How do you look after your teeth?

5. How do you feel about going to the dentist?

6. What do you think of countries that have a free health service?

7. How would you feel about treating other people's teeth?

8. Would you spend money on a night out or a trip to the dentist?

Topic2. Women worst hit by recession

 It is hardly surprising news, but a new report shows that girls and women are those hit hardest by the global recession. The study is from the organizations Plan International, which is working to reduce child poverty, and the Overseas Development Institute - the UK's leading independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues. They state that: "The world is failing girls and women." The report's author Nigel Chapman said: "Girls are the largest marginalised group in the world." Mr Chapman added: "Much of the problem lies with 'entrenched gender inequality'." Chapman found that a worsening economy results in females of all ages having to work harder and suffering more domestic abuse.

Mr Chapman's report highlights a tragic increase in mortality rates for female infants. He told the BBC: "The proportion of baby girls who died when the economy shrank rose five times faster than the proportion of baby boys who died….Hence, a 1% fall in economic output increases infant mortality by 7.4 deaths per 1,000 girls against 1.5 for boys." He paints an equally bleak picture for girls not being able to complete their education. He reports that the global recession saw a fall in primary school completion for girls of 29% compared to 22% for boys. "Girls get sucked into domestic chores," he said. "Once they stop going to school it's very hard to get back into the rhythm of things."

Questions

1. How surprised are you about this news?

2. Why do women and girls suffer more than men and boys?

3. Have you been hit by the recession?

4. Do women have and get equal opportunities in your country?

5. How can we change the world to be better for women and girls?

6. What countries do you know of that need to work harder on equality?

7. Do you think women should be allowed to do anything a man does?

8. What is the difference between men and women fundamentally?

우리반을 처음 찾으시는 분들을 위한 안내의 글입니다. 

 초중급반이란?

   - 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.

     9;50~10;00 wrap up the study

      스터디가 끝난 후엔 친목도모 혹은 허기를 달래고자 하는 목적으로 거의 매주 개더링이 이뤄집니다.

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