How have you improved? What do you still need to work harder on? What are you going to do in the future to continue to improve your English skills?

There are only 2 weeks left of classes and a week of exams. What are your plans for after the course finishes?

I think I improve approach to people. before the semester, I afraid to approach the people.

but now I don't afraid. but now until, my pronouncation is poor. so I will more practice...

In Korea, many company need to submit the English score.

So I will study to improve my English skill.

I will come back to Korea on August 31. after semester, maybe I go to the library everday....

and then I come back to korea, I will find a new job.

I'm worry and nervous about that...

nowdays are very peaceful days during my life...

I can't forget this memory. Thank you guys.

Post # 3 - Transportation Etiquette

Subject

Think about a city you know well.  What kind of etiquette does it have on its public transportation (subway, buses, train, taxi - choose one)?

Describe the type of transportation you chose and write down as many rules of etiquette as you can think of (written and unwritten).

I think about subway etiquette in korea.

below poster attached on the wall in subway.

this is written rule.

1. Be careful your big bag

2. Please don't sit with your legs apart.

3. Don't listening to loud music.

4. Don't eat

but we have a lot of unwitten rules.

1.  switched to vibrate mode and if you call, talk to  in a quiet voice.

2. listening is small sound.

3. Don't bring the animal.

4. Don't eat.

5. if subway is crowded, be careful each other.

6. Stay emty for prior seats.

7.  Please don't sit with your legs apart, if you read a newspaper, fold the newspaper.

8. if you moved another place, close the door.

9. Wait till getting off is through.

10. kids don't jumping.

Post # 2 - C-Train Etiquette

Have you ever taken to c-train or any other public transportation in Calgary? 

yes. i almost use the transportation such as bus or c-train.

What kind of etiquette do c-train riders need to follow?

Think of some written and unwritten rules that people need to follow when taking the c-train in Calgary. How are these rules enforced? 

in my opinion,

written rule : first, get off after get in, give way to senior citizens

unwitten rule : talk louldy in c-train

Do you think we need more rules, or fewer rules? Why?

i think now rules are enough. just we need to observe the rules of etiquette.
