2015년이 되었네요.

모두들 새해 복 많이 받구요. 건강하게 소원 이루는 2015 되기를.

Topic1. Who are you?

We sometimes wear a "social mask" in front of other people and act like, or pretend to be, someone who we are not. As our daily life is a series of interaction with people, in order to socialize with people, we develop a mask called "reputation". Reputation is not always equal to the kind of person we really are. Many people develop a different personality, or reputation, in order to get along with people, to better socialize, or to simply look good.

However, we should know that We All have strengths and weaknesses. We all come in different

personalities. We are not the same person, so we will not always see things the same way. What's

right for one person may not be right for another. There are things that are import!!ance me, that

you don't care about at all! And sometimes your behavior doesn't make any sense to me. I know I can't expect you to want the same things that I want. I have my own thoughts and my own Ideas, that may or may not fit into your vision of who I should be.

Anyway, by learning more about our own Personality, and about other various Personality Types,

we can come to a better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. We can improve interpersonal relationships, realign expectations towards others, and gain a better self-knowledge that will help define and achieve goals.

(Questions)

1. Where does personality type come from? Is it something you're born with or do we learn it?

2. How much do genetics and parenting have to do with our personality?

3. Is it possible to change our personality type as a result of experiences or as a result of pressure to be different?

4. Do you think your reputation identically reflects your true personality? If not, what are the things that people misunderstand about you?

5. Have you met anyone who turned out to be someone totally different from his or herreputation? If so, share us your experience and tell us what your reaction was.

6. Describe your personality in 3 words. Try to describe your members personality each other in 3 words.

7. How many friends do you have? Tell each other about your relationships.

Topic2.  The friendliest countries in the world.

A new report shows which are the friendliest countries in the world.

The HSBC bank conducted the Expat Explorer Survey to find out which countries offered the most comfortable lifestyles. Researchers questioned people in one hundred different countries between May and July 2013. They asked 3,385 respondents to assess how willing they would be to make different countries their second home. The questions were based on how easy it is to make friends with the local people; learning the local language, fitting in with the new culture, and integrating into the local community. The top-ranked country was New Zealand, followed by Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States.

Head of marketing for HSBC, Lisa Wood, said: “As the largest global survey of expats, Expat Explorer allows us to capture invaluable insights into expat life and how it differs from country to country, continent to continent and from an expats’ home country of origin.” The lowest ranked country was the United Arab Emirates, which is surprising as around 80 per cent of the whole population comprises of expatriates. Most of these are poorly paid labourers who are unlikely to be eligible for HSBC’s survey. India finished second bottom. Danish expat Pia Mollback-Verbic said the country “is simply a minefield of relentless mental, emotional and practical daily challenges for most non-Indians.”

(Questions)

1. Would you like to live in another country?

2. What’s our country like for foreigners to live in?

3. Do you think it’s important to make friends with the local people if you live in another country?

4. Do you think you’re good / would be good at fitting in with other cultures?

5. Can you understand why the top country in the survey was New Zealand?

6. Do many people in our country go to other countries to live and work?

7. How do lifestyles in our country differ from those in countries around you?

8. How comfortable is your lifestyle?
