The wonders of Jeju Island :D

The wonders of Jeju Island

Do you know where such a beautiful island is?

This is Jeju Island, a volcanic island that was formed five millions years ago and located southwest of the Korean peninsula. As Korea’s most southern region, the weather of Jeju Island remains significantly warmer than the mainland even during the cold winter months. Wind from the ocean blows steadily throughout the year and past volcanic activity has littered the island with an assortment of beautiful and unusually-shaped black rocks. For that reason, this island is beloved by scientists and tourists for its stunning natural features.

Let's have a look at the such a beautiful scenery!

As you can see, Jeju Island incorporates beautiful scenery, island, volcano, coastline, cave, waterfall, and forest and is the place where people, nature, culture, and prehistoric heritages harmoniously coexist in a single location. Even what man made, such as a Chogajib, which is a straw-roofed house, and man itself are just part of nature in Jeju Island!

a Biosphere Reserve in 2002

a World Natural Heritage in 2007

a Global Geopark in 2010

Moreover, it is the only place in the world with three UNESCO certifications. Over the past decade, Jeju Island became the world's first and only place to be awarded a triple crown in the natural science field by UNESCO, a Biosphere Reserve in 2002, a World Natural Heritage in 2007 and a Global Geopark in 2010.

For those reasons, it's chosen as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature last year.

Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes!

How the income and life expectancy has changed in 200 countries for 200 years

Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development.

Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes.

Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

Example of a letter of reference

This is one of homework that I did a year ago :)

Example of a letter of reference

Dear Sir/Madam

This is a letter of reference for Jane who is applying for the position of an activities supervisor at the children’s sports camp.

I met Jane 10 years ago in middle school. She gave me a good first impression by talking to me first with her sense of humor in a friendly way so that we got close soon and become the best friends since then. She was our class president and the leader of a volunteer club, and succeeded in leading the groups with her charismatic leadership and great abilities to entertain people. She also has a younger brother and a sister so she is accustomed to dealing with children without any trouble.

She is excellent at almost all kinds of sports, especially swimming, cycling, and volleyball, and has been in school team as a volleyball player for 3 years. In addition, she regularly participates in marathons and won the Boston Marathon last year. She also goes running every morning, so needless to say, she is extremely fit.

She has been studying Physical education at university and wants to become a sports teacher in the future. Therefore, this job would be very useful for her. Moreover, all these skills and interests she has would be helpful in making the sports camp more fun and better.

All in all, she would be the most suitable person for the position and I am really pleased to recommend Jane to you.
