"Who's Ban Ki-Moon?" by Jayoung choung

I'd like to introduce Ban Ki-Moon, the eighth and current secretary-general of the United Nation after Kofi Anan's retirement in 2007. He was born at a small town called EumSeong in South Korea in 1944. He had an ambition to become a diplomat from when he was selected as one of four representatives in VISTA program from the International Red Cross during high school days.
He had studied at Seoul National University and Harvard University.

He was the foreign minister of the Republic of Korea.

Mr.Ban is famous for his continuous advancement. His personal relations lie in his personality.
Sincerity! Modesty! Even though he has caught up his elders quickly, none of them have felt badly because of his personality. It's being told that there's saying like this in UN, Do just half to what Ban does." Ban here means Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

He meets the famous political figure very silently always, which is perceived as nothing is done by him from the view of US presses. I'm so sad about the view of US presses.

Here's the photos of him.
I love his smiling face. kk so cute :-)



http://www.un.org/sg/

Goodevening Kevin, I'm Sun(http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=93122)

He is Sejong king who created Hangul which are letters of korean.

And he was king at the period of Josun dynasty.

About 500 hundred years earlier, korean used chinese letters but the chines letter was too

hard to learn so thah only high-class people could rean and write.

Most people couldn't. So Sejong king created letters called Hoonminjungeum for the people.

That's the letters that now korean.

Au:: a famous person

I'd like to tell a famous person in Thailand "Thaksin Shinawat"
He is a ex-prime minister of Thailand. In 1995 Thaksin was choosen by people, but recently he was leaved out of position by the yellow side protesters, anyway the red side still need Thaksin to be the prime minister.
This is the reason that today people in Thailand are fighting each other for nothing.

ANSHERSON JIMENEZ

Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski died this morning in a plane crash in Russia. He was on his way to the town of Smolensk to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. This was the killing of 22,000 Polish officers by Soviet security forces near Smolensk during WWII. Dozens of other high-profile Polish officials also died in the air disaster, which no one survived. Among the 96 who lost their lives were Poland’s army chief, the governor of Poland’s central bank, politicians, bishops and leading historians. Details are emerging of the cause of the crash. Safety officials believe it might have been due to human error. The plane hit trees in thick fog as it approached the airport’s runway.

The crash has caused great anguish in Poland. One comment on Twitter by a Polish woman said it was the biggest disaster for Poland in the past 50 years. Another tweeter said Poland is now facing its worst political crisis since it escaped from communism in 1989. Two dozen of the country’s top politicians were on board the plane. The BBC's Adam Easton, reporting from Warsaw, said the crash was a catastrophe for the Polish people. He reported that Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk was in tears at the news of the tragedy. British leader Gordon Brown said the whole world was “saddened”. The country must now announce a presidential election in the next two weeks. The poll will take place within two months of the announcement.

Ebru Davutoglu- Notes for message B

This story about a man who has become a remarkable person with his patience determination and tough. He has been working at Johns Hopkins Hospital as a brain surgeon. His colleagues and patients calls him just Dr. Q. His routine day begins with check his lab. He wants to be sure everything is orderly any easy to find in his lab. There is another important thing for him is cleaning hands. He had known there isn't any cure for brain cancer, but his target to give much quality to his patients as much as he can. He is trying to understand how does brain cancer originate and how does it spread. He and his research team are looking for answers those questions. They examine on brain cells to understand why it is working wrongly or out of control. He believes one day, they will be able to stop or get some better treatment or have manageable conditions. Also, he is very good with his patients.
If we turn and look at his past time, we will see a determined person. He comes from a poor family. But this bad situation never stop him. He lived a really small place like shed.In future, he would say it was a palace. He was successful in his school life. One they he met a girl who called Anna. They became a good friends. After two years they fell in love and married. He has three children. His wife said," I saw a fire in his heart. I was sure about him. One day a fabulous thing will happen about him. Because he was intelligent, he has purpose."

In this days, he is working with some student and colleague about researching treatment and sharing information after his working hours. İt is good way of giving opportunity other contestant. He is in love with human brain and human life. I think this is the most important reason to became a successful surgeon.

My Partner the teacher

My Partner the teacher

My partner is the teacher of this class. His name is Kevin Lathrop, and he has been a teacher at this school for a few years. He used to teach writing but he found he prefers listening and speaking. The intermediate levels, three and four, are his specialty, although he enjoys teaching all levels.

Kevin grew up in New York City, arriving here when he was six months old and staying ever since. He has a B.A. degree in film-making and an M.A. degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. He is a creative person. His pleasure is making art, of whatever kind. In addition to his creative work, he has a love of learning, studies languages, reads a lot, enjoys movies and ideas and generally enjoys himself in his free time. His new hobby (for the last four years) is exercise. He runs but found he enjoys playing basketball more than running.

He said he is especially happy to be at Laguardia in Spring Semester, when even New York City looks beautiful and fresh. His present goal, he said, is to help his students learn the English they need to communicate effectively and thrive in New York.

Welcome to the blog

This is the example:

I would like to introduce you to my partner, Jose. Jose is from Bogota , Colombia , where he worked as a nurse in a geriatric hospital. Jose came to New York three months ago because he wants to improve his English for his profession. He may stay in New York and continue his studies in medicine, and he may return to Colombia . At the moment, he is making his decision with his family.

Jose is married and has two children, a daughter age seven and a son age three. They live in Colombia now and Jose misses them very much.

Jose’s hobby is playing guitar. He likes both rock, jazz and flamenco.

About New York , Jose has mixed feelings. Sometimes he loves it and sometimes he dislikes it a lot. He is adjusting, and feeling better as his English improves. Overall, he is excited to be here and glad to meet his new classmates.
