Topic 1 – 10 signs that it is love at first sight

It is a shock, when you are suddenly hit by pure raw love. Love at first sight is an amazing and pleasurable sensation. 

You feel energized, capable of doing anything you want. Unfortunately, love at first sight doesn’t happen to everybody, 

only a few are lucky enough to experience the heat spreading in their body, the feeling of wellbeing, peace and desire

 that fills them when they see that special person.  

For most people, love grows steadily; it starts with an attraction and slowly develops into friendship until they realize

 they are in love. But there are also those of us who are lucky enough to have experienced love at first sight. 

Most people will tell us that it is not love but infatuation. They will tell us that love at first sight only exists in romantic 

literature, in Hollywood movies and fairytales. But we know better, we know that love at first sight can exist because 

we have fallen in love in our first encounter with that special person.  

10 signs that it is love at first sight 

To know if cupid has played his magic on you there are 10 sure signs that you are head over heels about your newly 

found love. When you see him or her: 

1. Your heart races. When your heartstarts beating fast as soon as you see him or her it means that there is something 

  going on… 

2. Your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps sugar into your bloodstream and you experience a feeling 

of euphoria. 

3. Your breathing starts to go faster and faster 

4. Your pupils dilate 

5. Your hands and other sweaty bits start to perspire. 

6. You feel soft in the knees. 

7. A feeling of warmth feels you.  

8. You feel completely electrified, in shock ! 

9. Your friends think that you are on a diet or even worse that you have started a hunger strike

    because you are so excited that the last thing you can think about is food. 

10. You cannot sleep anymore for thinking about THAT person. You are overwhelmed with desire and longing.  

Is it dangerous to fall in love at first sight? Yes and no.  

Yes because the disappointment once the rush has gone can be really hard. The passion involved in love at first sight 

can be detrimental to your everyday life. Some people might forget their work responsibilities, their families and partners, 

their friends, and in some cases even their health while they are experiencing what the French call the “coup de foudre”. 

The bad news is that the state of euphoria does not last indefinitely, and at some point you do recover your bearings,

 you realize that passion is not everything in life.  

On the other hand, how can being happy, excited and in love be dangerous? Life is dangerous and if you ever fall in love 

at first sight the best thing is to take advantage of it, 

 take advantage of the moment and enjoy it while it lasts! When you fall off your cloud, pick yourself up again and start all over

Questions 

1. Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? Has anybody fallen in love with you at first sight? 

2. If somebody fall in love with you at first sight, would you dare to meet him/her? (Don’t say “depend on”) 

3. If you fall in love at first sight, what kind of attraction of him/her appeal to you? 

4. Can you say the difference between your first love and the latest love of your own? 

5. Who do you think would fall in love at first sight so easily in Myzone? 

6. Who do you think would have the most practical expectation to to-be-boy(girl)

friend in Myzone? 

7. How many weeks(days) do you need to meet somebody as boy/girlfriend? 

8. It’s getting rarer to fall in love at first sight. Why does that happen? 

9. When you’re supposed to go to blind date, how much of expectation do you usually have? Ready for falling in love? 

10. Do you believe love like Romeo&Juliet? Why don’t you make your own ending of Romeo&Juliet? 

수도에 대해 얘기해봐요 ~ 경기도나 인천에 사는 멤버들도 있고 저처럼 저 먼 남쪽 바다에서 서울로 유학온 사람도있어요 ㅋ

각자 hometown 을 적극적으로 홍보해봐요. 동네도 괜찮아요 ㅋㅋㅋ

Topic  2– Living in Seoul

 - ｉｄｅａ １
Seoul is one of the largest cities in the world. There is over one fourth of the Korean population in Seoul, and most Korean companies are in or near Seoul. This concentration in Seoul has caused many problems in both Seoul and the other cities. Traffic in Seoul is terrible, as well as high rent and environmental pollution. Because of diminishing populations and hrinking companies, local governments just don't have the money. So they cannot build new bridges, schools and theaters to meet the needs of residents. So the residents move to Seoul. The problem has been aggravated. Today even education is also making us to leave our hometowns. People who did not studied in Seoul are not welcomed at all by the potential employers. Career and education, what else is more important in living than them?
To settle this problem, companies and educational institutions, like universities, should be given incentives, such as tax redemption, cheap sites and financial supports, when they move to local provinces from Seoul. This movements can develop provinces and Seoul citizen want to live in other cities. So, concentration to Seoul can be softened.
- ｉｄｅａ ２
After spending 27 years in seoul, I've now been living in Chinju (Kyonsang-Nam province) for 4 years. Which place do I prefer? Seoul, absolutely. In Seoul, I can keep my anonymity.
I can visit clean and current theatres from time to time, can register at a private institute that I need to go to (I am preparing for the GMAT, but cannot get help from a private institute, because there aren't any here), can set up a study group (I cannot here, because nobody-as far as I know-prepares for the exam), and so on.
The worst thing is the fact that I cannot be anonymous here. Even though just a few people know me, I feel as if every Chinju citizen knows me. You know, there are just 300,000 people here (compare this with the 11 million people in Seoul!), and there has been little outflow or influx of population.
It means that there are many people who have lived together in one place for a long- long-long time, thus know each other very well, even lots of private things. Just imagine that somebody whom you don't know already knows who you are. It's horrible. The surprising thing is that no one cares about that here. It is natural for them. Then what on earth is the difference between they and I? It is experience or familiarity.
I had lived in Seoul for a long time, and they have lived in Chinju for a long time. They are familiar with such phenomena, while I am not. This is the difference between them and me. Thus, my conclusion is that preference depends on person. You can choose your environment, as you like.

- ｉｄｅａ 3
There are considerable gaps between Seoul and other cities. The differences are not only in infrastructure but also in the attitude of the residents. I live in Pusan, the second largest city in South Korea. But it is common to hear that there is a 10 year gap between Seoul and Pusan. That is true.
For example, buildings in Seoul don't compare with those in Pusan and most of the performances and the exibitions are held in Seoul. Therefore, the facilities and accomodations of Seoul are naturally better at making a good first impression to visitors. It is easy to see why young people gather in seoul. It seems as if Seoul is the area of opportunity to other city's people.
In my opinion, there are merits and disadvantages. The way I see it is that there are more disadvantages than merits. The heavy traffic and pollution are not good for our health. It is quite atrractive to live in a laid-back hometown atmosphere. We should not confuse reality with an ideal

Questions

1) Where is your hometown? Where were you born and have been raised? Share some of your happy memories about it. If you were born and have been raised in Seoul, tell us about your happy memories when you visited your relatives in the country
2) What are the different characteristics, you feel in your daily life, between people who Seoul born and other region born? Share some episodes?
3) An old saying goes "Send horses to Cheju-do and send men/women to Seoul." Do you think this saying is reasonable or not? Why do you think so?
4) What do you think Seoul would be like in 10~20 years? Do you think the gap between Seoul and other cities will keep widening? If so, what would like to do, if you were the policy maker?
