Diary 3

Today is an election day so I did not go to school. It was the first time in my life that I get the right to vote. I felt weird that I am already old enough to vote. It was meaningful that I can use my right to vote from this year and I felt responsible about my right. This right has to be used in a right way to be a responsible adult.
It is same for using English. We have to use English responsibly because English is one of cultures and we have to repect that culture.

Diary 2

In Chung-Ang university I am participating in a special club. It is called CUDS which stands for Chung-Ang University Debate Association. In this club we debate about various issues in English. I joined this club to improve my English skills and actually this club made me to speak more fluently and logically about my opinions.
At first, I hated to go to the club because there were so many students who are like native speakers. But then I learned a lot from them to be just like them. So I began to enjot debating in English and also learned a lot of words and knowledge about social issues. I want to recommend this club to my major students who want improve speaking skills.
