Hello,everyone!  

한 주의 반이 지나가고 있네요. 오늘도 즐거운 하루 보내셨나요?

저는 어제 친구들이랑 롯데월드를 다녀왔습니다 ! 히히

(* 요새 롯데월드 만원의 행복이란 행사해요.전월  실적이 있는 비씨나 삼성카드 가져가시면 자유이용권이, 50%인 19000원도 아닌 단돈 만원!

전원 실적및 카드에 대한 자세한 사항은 롯데월드 홈페이지 참조하시고:) 참고로 저는 그냥 비씨 체크 카드였는데도 만원에 결제 했어용. ㅎㅎㅎ )

초중고등학생들 방학 했다고 생각해서 널널할 줄 알고 갔는데 사람이 어찌나 많은지 ㅜ알고보니 애들 봄방학 기간이라서....  

그래도 바이킹이랑 자이로드롭, 번지드롭 등 재미난 거 많이 타구 왔답니다. 나중에 가실 분들은 꼭 방학을 피해서 가시길 !

여튼, 어제 집에 오는 길에 뉴질랜드 강진에 대한 뉴스를 들었어요..지진으로 많은 사상,실종자가 ㅜㅜ

 저도 뉴질랜드, 오클랜드에서 어학연수를 했었기 때문에 남의 일 같지 않았기에  약 반나절이 지난 (시차때문에 )23일인 오늘,

제가 뉴질 있었던 내내 머물렀던 홈스테이 집의 아줌마, 아저씨에게 안부 전화를 드렸답니다.

역시나 지역이 다르기에 두 분 다  괜찮으시고 주변 친구 분들 및 가족분 들도 피해를 입으신 분이 없으셔서 다행이었어요.

워낙 저에게 엄마,아빠같이 잘 해 주셨던 분들이라.. 저의  또다른 가족이거든요. ^.^

아무쪼록 앞으로는 이런일이 발생하지 않길 바라봅니다! 

아, 이번 주 topic, Pop questions 중 하나 씩은 저번 주에 쓰지 못했기에 끌어올려서  씁니당 !

돌발질문은 구직자로서의 인터뷰 버젼 or 질문자를의식하지 않는 솔직한 답변 중 택 1해서 말씀하시면 됩니다. :)

요기 선 아래 부터 출력 부탁드려요^^ ↓

3.자신의 인생에 있어서 가장 후회스러웠던 일은 무엇인가?(전 대기업 공통)

Topic1) Are you a fashion conscious person ?
One of the first decisions many people make in the morning is what to wear. Our clothes make a statement
about our individual style and beliefs; they can also say something about our musical tastes, or our cultural
identity. Fashion trends change not only with the seasons but also annually, with new styles being introduced, as
well as old ones revived, on the catwalks of paris, Milan, London, and New York. looking back into fashion again
in the near future. you only have to pick up any fashion at the moment.
Fashion trends are influenced by more than just a few well-known clothing designers. Celebrities such as movie
stars, pop musicians, and royalty also influence which fashions are 'trendy.' In the 1950s, Elvis Presley's style was
copied by Millions around the world. White T-shirts, patent leather shoes, and slicked-back hair were the
essentials for young men of the day. Young women in the 1950s dressed in poodle skirts and cat's-eye glasses.
Miniskirts and go-go boots, worn by pop stars and fashion models of the day, were the must-haves for young
women in the 1960s; the shorter the skirt, the trendier you were considered to be.
In the 1970s, both men and women wore bell-bottom pants, wide lapels, and platform shoes, Designer jeans
and polo shirts were the clothing of choice for young men in the 1980s, while young women wore dresses and
jackets with big shoulder pads. The late Princess Diana set many fashion trends in the 1990s. The fashion world
considered her to be one of the most glamorous and stylish women of the time, and newspapers would report
not only on where she was and what she was doing, but also what she was wearing.
Much of the designer clothing we see models, pop stars, and other celebrities wearing is out of the price range
of the average shopper. In London, however, High street stores imitate the ideas of top designers to offer the
general public an inexpensive way of wearing the latest fashions: After ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell appeared in
public wearing a dress emblazoned with the Union Jack, cheaper imitations of the dress, on sale in stores all
over the U.K., were snapped up by fashion conscious teenage fans.
One particular style popular in the '90s was the 'retro' look. Many young people chose to dress in clothing
styles of the 1960s and 1970s, or combined different elements of these past fashions with modern trends. As a
result, many independent stores opened that specialized in selling old, used clothing from decades ago. Of
course, there are people who adopt certain styles all the time, not just when fashion gurus dictate it is
appropriate. Fans of a particular type of music, for example, will always wear the clothes that match the music.
The punk movement in London in the 1970s and 1980s saw many people with spiky hair, dressed in black;
nowadays people who are fans of the music still adopt the same matching clothing and hair style.
Fashion is, therefore, a means of self-expression‎. As the British" designer Katherine Hamnett said, "Clothes create
a wordless means of communication that we all understand." One of the first decisions that you make each day
communicates a powerful statement about who you are, and what you believe in.

Questions
Q1. Are you trendsetter or fashion conscious or fashion victim?
Q2. What if your boyfriend/girlfriend is fashion victim ?
Q3. Are there any item or style which you strongly insist?

 (ex. I always cling to preppy look / bohemian style /vintage / modern … I can’t live without my floral dress / knit / white jacket / leather jacket / skinny jeans / coat/ trousers….)
Q4. Have you ever been misunderstood by how you dressed?
Q5. What is your style secrets? ( ex. how to create a slim silhouette? )

Topic2) Price war: now it is about coffee price!

W790 coffee touches off price war
A fresh price war among coffee vendors looms as a domestic franchised shop began to sell its standard product at close
to one-fifth the market price last week.Manoffin, owned by popular local pizza franchise Mr. Pizza Corp., offers Hawaiian Kona coffee, one of the most popular brands here, at 790 won ($0.70) per cup.
This price is far lower than its peers from Starbucks, Coffee Bean and other brands ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 won.
Late last year, Lotte Mart, a major retailer, stirred widespread disputes with its short-lived ultra-cheap chicken, which had
been well-received by consumers suffering from sharp rises in food prices.
“Since the ingredients cost only 460 won when excluding the rental and interior costs for the store, we’re going with the
small-profit and quick-return strategy,” said an official at Manoffin.
The move is expected to send an alarming message to major players criticized for high prices.

In the midst of the dispute over chicken prices, chicken franchise representatives defended themselves by claiming that
coffee is sold at prices 24-29 times higher than the raw materials cost.
The number of small and large coffee breweries has been fast expanding in a country where coffee has become one of
the most favored drinks for many people.Starbucks Coffee Korea, a subsidiary of the Seattle-based group, opened 49 new stores last year alone, operating a total of 335 stores in 35 different cities. Coffee Bean, which was initially introduced here in 2001, has over 190 stores across the nation and the most recently established Caffe Bene has recorded the highest growth rate in the industry in 2010, setting up more than 300 stores in Korea.
The dispute over franchise food prices was initially sparked by E-Mart’s cheap pizza brand earlier last year and developed
into a political and social issue following Lotte Mart’s steep discounting of its chicken.Taking advantage of good publicity for the chicken, Lotte Mart has continued to apply the price strategy to other products such as bicycles, handheld computers and meat.
The company said Sunday that it will hold a 10-day event from Monday to sell premium Korean beef and pork at discounted prices of up to 58 percent.
“We have been promoting the consumption of Korean beef more than our competitors by holding four special events in
the past month involving Korean beef since the spread of the foot-and-mouth disease,” said a Lotte Mart official.
“However, we felt it was a shame that such efforts were not recognized and misunderstanding spread instead with last
week’s promotional event of marinated ribs from the U.S., which was planned ahead of the disease outbreak.”
At the mart’s event that takes place until Jan. 19, 100 grams of sirloin steak will be offered at 5,700 won, down from
7,480 won, and 100 grams of bulgogi will cost 2,900 won, down from 3,880 won, according to its officials. About 100
grams of pork sirloin will also be available at 500 won, discounted from 1,180 won.

Questions
1. How often do you purchase brand coffee?
If you eat them often, What is the reason?
2.What do you think about coffee price? Is it reasonable or not?
What sort of price did you want to pay?
3. What is a main factor that make the price of coffee so high?
4. Is there some proper ways to cut down the price of coffee to reasonable range?
