Session1 – 7:30 ~ 8:25, 1.  Universities to charge students who stay enrolled instead of graduating http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/672331.html

Students stay enroll to avoid stigma while jobseeking; policy change may be motivated by university rankings

“When you’ve finished all your credits, it seems like you end up labeled as a student who can’t get a job, don’t you think?” Ms. Kim, a 23-year-old liberal arts fourth-year student at Ewha Womans University, has a new source of stress on top of her job-seeking worries. The university has decided to change its no-credit enrollment system, which in the past has been a way for students with full credits to put off graduating and keep their student status while preparing to work.
As of this spring, Ewha is amending its school rules to require any student who has completed her required credits to pay at least one-sixth of regular tuition and register for at least one credit to hold on to student status when attending beyond her eighth semester. Before, students could retain the status without taking extra credits by not completing chapel requirements or submitting a thesis. The reasoning was that it would help students find work if they were still enrolled rather than perceived as “jobless graduates.”
The decision has prompted an outcry from students who had been planning to put off graduation to find work. “They’re basically telling us we have to pay to keep our student status,” said Ewha student council president Park Yu-jin on Jan. 5. “Because the student backlash has been so strong, we’re planning to submit a position in favor of gathering more student opinions first.” The university said it would reflect student concerns in implementing the system, but added, “Strictly speaking, ‘no-credit enrollment’ is not an official system, and other universities don’t have anything like it.”
The reason for tinkering with a previously accepted practice may have something to do with university assessments by the Ministry of Education and media. When students who qualify to graduate stay enrolled instead, the result is an inevitable increase in the student-to-professor ratio, a major standard in ratings. Last year, Korea University changed its school rules to set an eight-year time limit on enrollment. At Yonsei University, students must register for at least one credit to retain their enrollment status. Kyung Hee University issues “credit completion certificates” in lieu of enrollment certificates for students who have completed their required coursework, while Sogang University and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies give out “certificates of anticipated graduation.”

We want one thing common: being more attractive. But the purpose for being attractive varies. What’s yours? Well, you needn’t share! To strike your attractive physique, maintain these tips and you will be surprised seeing how magically they work!

#1 Keep Smile Keep a smile on your face. When you smile, you look more friendly and approachable. People feel comfort to deal with you. No matter what your are feeling inside, smile!
#2 Maintain Facial Hair It is important to take care of facial hair. Men should shave regularly. If you want to maintain long beard, you should keep that neat and trim. Women should shape eyebrows properly.
#3 Keep Hair Tip-top Your hair is just like your crown! So take care of it. A nice look is the first step to attract someone. Get regular haircuts as it is important for your hair to be healthy. Keep your hair clean and tidy. It is really important for attractive appearance.
#4 Wear Fit Clothes Your dress is really important. People like one who is dressed properly. So, take care of what you are wearing. Buy the clothes that fit you properly. Oversized or too tight clothes make you look odd.
#5 Maintain Proper Eye Contact Proper eye contact is important when you are talking to someone. If you maintain eye contact properly, people will feel important and be happy. Some people feel shy to maintain eye contact. That’s not a big problem. Start with your close ones. Maintain proper eye contact while talking to them. Then, try it with strangers.
#6 Walk Confidently Be confident while walking. Do you know how to walk with confidence? Keeping your body relaxed and holding eyes and head up help you look confident. Making you look confident is a great part of being attractive.
#7 Smell Nice No one likes one who smells bad. All your efforts to make yourself attractive can end in smoke if you smell bad. So be careful about this fact. Take shower every day and use deodorant regularly. Brush your teeth properly. You may use medication to get rid of bad breath.
#8 Be Relaxed Are you seared all the time thinking what others are thinking of you? If yes, you should fight to kick away this habit. Be confident and open yourself to others. Communicate with them and be easy. Nervousness isn’t liked. So, be confident and relaxed while dealing with people.
#9 Laugh and Make Laugh There’s a saying, “laughter is a good medicine”. When you laugh, people around you feel comfortable and are more likely to be happy with you. Laughter can make you look attractive. Most importantly, if you can make people laugh you make them happy. And you are treated with the same emotions.
#10 Body Language Your body language is important. If you look busy in your body language, people are likely to avoid you. They will think that you don’t want to be disturbed. But if you are easy and relaxed, people will feel comfortable to approach you.
#11 Ask Questions Don’t try to speak about you all the time. While gossiping with someone ask questions. But don’t ask anything inappropriate. When you ask questions, people think that you are interested to know about them and they feel important.
#12 Wear Bright Color Wear colorful clothes. Be careful to avoid some colors which can be inappropriate because of the tone of your skin or the ambience of the place to go. Usually, bright colors attract people. You also look more confident.
