After I participate in the class, I can found three interesting articles. First, I selected the Park Jae Min's article, "Half of Germany Is Now Powered by Solar Energy". Because, I am interested in alternative energy and I want to see that government of Korea will not increase nuclear power plants but decrease it. Second, I look carefully the Kim Na Young's article, "Malaria's coming to Denmark". Malaria which is transferred by mosquito occurs at subtropical climate and the world is getting hot temperature. So, malaria is not only Denmark's problem but also everyone's problem. Therefore I choose this article. Finally, I took the Yun Sung Min's article, "Egyptian high school students say system is 'unfair', stage protests". By the way, students of Korea are experiencing unfair education system too, but they are obedient for that and they almost do not go to the demonstration about unfair education. I want they resist it if only once. For that reason, I select this article. From now on, I will talk about this three articles.
 
First, Park Jae Min's article shows that In Germany, there is new record that solar power possess 50% of generating energy. And some experts say percent of generating ratio by solar power will increase. Jae Min said, this phenomenon is very good, because other some countries such as Korea demand of nuclear power energy or firepower energy which is not renewable and harmful. And he think if we take a long-term view, developing solar energy would be very good for other countries' environment. I don't agree his opinion at all. Of course building solar energy is good, a lot of country's conditions for developing solar energy are not suitable. First, solar energy generator requires very wide extent, but small size countries cannot make them easily because of shortage of area. Second, countries requiring a lot of electricity right now such as Korea where manufacturing businesses are advanced and nuclear power plants exist mostly cannot change to renewable energy systems immediately.
 
Next, Kim Na Young's article said that because of global warming, malaria will be found at home easily in Denmark. Therefore Denmark needs to see this prediction very seriously. Na young said, she is very scared because of fear that Malaria comes to Korea, and if we don't want to experience this situation, we have to try to prevent global warming such as reducing using air conditioner. I agree with her opinion. But we try to prevent malaria not only reducing using air conditioner and any other electric devices, but also promoting the way to other people actively. Futhermore, biotechnology researchers have to develop the new medicine which remove malaria symptoms.
 
Finally, according to Yun Sung Min's article, Egyptian students who protesting against unfair education system suggest three demands - abolishing the system of determining student's university faculty according to grade point average, developing educational system calling for respecting the dignity of Egyptian students and teachers. Sung Min said, he would like to compliment Egyptian student and the Egypt's situation is similar to Korea, so he hope Korean students also fight against absurdity actively. I absolutely agree with his opinion. I'm envious Egyptian students courage because Korean students are not protesting actively but obedient to current education system or express complaints to online using internet only. I hope that Korean students' mind change and they will resist, and as a result, Korea education system will be changed fairly.
 
 
Until now, I have referred dealing with three articles. In summary, for first article, in Germany, the phenomenon that solar power possess 50% of generating energy is very desirable and it is need to occur that other countries will go to same way. For second article, it is predicted that malaria will come to Denmark, moreover to Korea, so we have to prepare of this situation. For last article, Egyptian students protest to their education system, and this is similar to Korea, therefore Korean students have to fight about their unfair system. Through this articles I can feel what is the world coming to. I wish the world will be sensible and peaceful.

Cold soups and fresh juice for a light summer lunch



When you live in Moscow, your life is very closely tied to the weather. From the end of September to about April, it’s about staying indoors and eating warm food.

The rest of the time (well, when it’s not raining) the thought on everyone’s mind is “we have to enjoy this weather while it lasts!” Then there are six to eight weeks in July and August when the temperatures are almost too hot to bear, and that’s when cold food, soups and drinks come in to play.

Svekolnik is among the most popular, since it’s made from beets – just like borscht.

As for mors, it’s a drink popular throughout the year, but in summer it’s particularly nice since it can be made with fresh berries.





I think if I live at Moscow, I eat both Svekolnik and mors frequently. Because, first, they are very popular in Russia. Second, you can experience Russia's weather culture. Finally, they can be a help your health.So If you are planning to travel to Moscow at summer time, it can be a nice choice to eat both.

Russians will be able to study abroad for free



Russian students will be able to study abroad for free under a new program approved on June 20 by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

“The aim of this program is for Russia to adopt the best foreign practices in the field of education,” said Andrei Nikitin, the head of ASI.



I think, now, current English educations of Korea are not a help to Korea students, so it need to change Korea English educations. Because, first, present study is not a help to effective English conversation. Second, it require money excessively so it is burden to Korea parents. Finally, it is more helpful to your English ability that you talk with foreign people. Therefore, as one of the solution to solve this problem, the Ministry of Education has to make a policy like Russia's case.

Russia creates its own military tablet




The Russian army will soon be outfitted with a new smart device. The tablet, specifically created for military purposes, runs on a Russian-made operating system, works under water and has all sorts of protection – dust and occasional hits and bumps won’t damage it. It’s also equipped with a ‘panic button’ of sorts – pressing it will physically disable modules capable of transmitting information.



I think current age is high-tech time, and each countries of the world are developing military technology like Russia. Therefore South Korea must escape being behind the times and develop any new military technologies. Because, first, it is not to lose autority in the world. Second, to prevent war with North Korea and other countries. Finally, to defense homeland economically.

British teen dies while canyoning in Italian Alps




http://travel.aol.co.uk/2014/06/30/british-teen-dies-canyoning-italian-alps/



A British teen has died after a canyoning accident in the Italian Alps on Sunday afternoon.

According to the Express, the spokesman added: "The initial theory is that he smashed into some sort of obstruction.


If you do not learned enough knowledge about extreme sports and simulated about it, I want to prevent you from participating in it. But if you join it, you must be careful and be careful at most.

Artists' tombs draw big crowds in Italy




http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2014/06/12/artists-tombs-draw-big-crowds-in-italy/

Still, artists do die - and what may surprise a visitor to Italy is how accessible, and how moving and beautiful, are the tombs and other formal memorials to artists that Italians dutifully and sometimes touchingly maintain.

Although you are not a big artist that people in the world know, when you are about time to die, it can be a meaningful will that you say you want to make your gravestone's shape your precious object or carve your motto on your gravestone.

Tour Italy by sea on these cruises





http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2014/06/24/best-upcoming-italy-cruises/11258785/

 So many cruises exist in Italy and they sail to various tourist attractions. Furthermore, you can learn that they have many characteristics such as how many people can board, how much money do you need, what attractions they can go, ETC.

Italy cruises have many advantages. Even though Italy cruises's utility fee is pretty expensive, in the distant future, if you have a lot of, sufficient money, I think it is not bad to travel to Italy boarding cruises.
