Things you can do to protect
the environment in everyday life
# These days, the environmental pollution
is an important issue. We should protect
the environment everyday. What's
the things we can do to protect the
environment? I'll introduce some tips we
can do in everyday life.
First, walk or use a bike instead of a
car. A lot of exhaust is emitted by cars
and this can lead to a severe air pollution.
Second, recycle the papers. When we use
the paper, we only use one side of it. We
should use the paper on both the front
and rear side and it can reduce using too
many papers. Third, use water with a cup
when you brush your teeth. Using water with a cup can save
a lot of water. Fourth, save the electricity by turning off the
lights when we don't use it. Turning off the electronic devices
can save much energy than just putting them in sleep mode.
We can protect the environment by these easy and simple
ways.

# These days, the environment pollution is considered as a
serious problem. To prevent pollution, I'd like to tell you a
few things that we can do easily in our daily lives to help the
environment.
First, we should stop using disposables such as paper cups
My Strengths and Weaknesses
# I was introvert until I was a middle schooler. I usually
waited for someone who talk to me rather than started the
conversation. When I entered highschool, I had no friends
because only one person from my middle school applied for
this school.
It was a really hard time for me to go to school at the start
of the semester. I was really lonely. So I changed myself to
be an extrovert. I said "Hi." to my partner, played soccer
with classmates, and ate lunch together. I also helped their
studying. I solved math problems with them and studied
English together. My personality changed! After that, I
became to have many friends and finally I was able to be
elected as a class president on the second semester of second
grade.
I think the key point of overcoming
my weakness which was timid
personality is listening to others
carefully. Because of my open mind
and listening skills, many friends
talked with me. So I could adjust to
high school life.

# My merit is that I can master all of
my strengths and will if I wish to. Last
year, two weeks before final exam of
second term, I decided that I wanted
English Newspaper of High School Attached to the Educational College of Inha University
or wooden chopsticks. Instead of
using paper cups, for example, we
can use tumblers or reusable plastic
bottles.
Second, I would recommend
riding a bike or taking public
transportations instead of using
private cars when we go somewhere.
Unlike private cars that emit a lot
of carbon dioxide, riding a bike or
taking public transportations makes
less or none of carbon dioxide, which
is helpful for the environment.
Third, why don't we use less
shampoo when we wash our hair? I read an article that says
the shampoo is the main cause of the water pollution. I
think using as a little shampoo as possible would be good for
washing our hair. If we reduce the amount of shampoo, the
water pollution will be largely prevented.
Finally, we have to unplug the electrical appliances when
we don't use them. The unused electrical appliances make
lots of green house gases. In order to reduce green house
gases, we should be accustomed to unplugging the electrical
appliances as soon as we finish using them.
If we keep these four things in mind, the environment will
never cry anymore and will thank us.

to recover my fallen exam scores. By simply deciding, I
immediately studied for 8 hours a day and during the exam,
nearly 10 hours a day. As a result, all of the subjects' scores
rose more than 5 points each.
On the other hand, my drawback is perfectionism. For
instance, when I prepare a presentation, I go step by step
while doing so I'm thinking like, 'A slight touch here, a little
correction there......' and it goes on and on. It does help me
get a good result. But sometimes it takes forever making
much time wasted. To fix this, I tried to do things roughly.
During preparation of an English workbook I made a quick
draft first and then went into the details. While doing so, I
kept telling myself, 'It's Okay. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Enough is enough.' And surprisingly, I
finished it in about an hour and half.
Which is a huge success compared to my
other preparations.
Through this process, I realized that
perfectionism is a self abuse of the
highest order. Though being perfect is
not bad, but in most cases the pressure
of perfectionism can destroy one from
the inside. So it should be avoided if
possible. One by one, my efforts will help
me overcome this weakness and become a
better person.
