A second language is regarded as essential to success in the modern world. It should be compulsory for all children to study a second language as soon as they start school.
To What extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Give reasons for your answers and include any relevent examples from you own knowledge or exprience.
As the world globalizes more and more, some countries are trying to teach a second language (mostly English) to students who just start school. Is it effective for young children to learn a second language? In my essay I will explain the reason why it isn't a good idea to make all the kids learn a second language at such an early age.
Firstly, leaning a foreign language too early can affect the national identity. A language reflects its culture and conventions. For example in Korea our language has strict rules that are there to show respect to older people e.g. if a person is older than me even one year, I have to use different vocabulary. So a relationship as friends is only possible in the same age group. If young children who usually don't know their mother tongue thorougly learn a second language, they can be confused when they meet or talk with older people.
Secondly, young children need a balance in the development of their brains. Generally left brain is related to learning language so if we emphasize learning a second language, other minor subjects like music and art will be belittled inevitably. It means they will not have proper time for PE, music or art that can help the development of the right brain and result is a well-balanced brain.
Lastly, in the circumstance of EFL (English as a foreign language) though we have more time to learn English, it is difficult to get a chance to speak or write English. It means English is only used in the classroom and after the class we don't use that language in our daily life. So it's also difficult to speak English fluently even though we study English a lot.
For these reasons, I don't agree with the idea of theaching a second language to young children. The only thing that we can do is giving a motivation to them so that they can learn a second language efficiently when they grow older.

The treatment a child receives while growing up will determine how his self-esteem develops.
아이가 자라면서 받는 대접은 그 아이의 자부심이 어떻게 발달하는지를 결정할 것이다.
Without Capital punishment our lives are less secure and crimes of violence increase. Capital punishment is essential to control violence in society. To what extent you agree or disagree?
[예시문]
Some people are totally in favour of capital punishment as they reckon it could be the perfect deterrent and the only way of reaching higher levels of safety and lower levels of crimes of violence, such as rapes or murders. On the other hand some others claim that the death penalty is to win over crimes. These individuals are also adamant that tolerance and respect for life are the most important values ever.
Capital punishment is not only legally enforced in underdeveloped countries where there may be very radical views in relation to crimes, but also in developed countries. A clear example of this is the USA, where the death penalty is enforced in many states and has its highet rates. The State of Texas, in particular, is at the top of the list in terms of number of execution per year and strongly supports this measure against crimes, especially those committeed by serial killers and those involving children. Nonetheless, the crime rates in Texas do not show a tendency to reduce because of the application of capital punishment, and on top of this it is often claimed that this type of penalty is a discriminatory practise against the less advantaged portion of the population, such as Afro-American communities.
Personally, I do not believe that capital punishement is the one thing that can result in a decrease in the number of crimes and an increased safety. I do believe that life sentence could be a much better penalty and that prevention in terms of better evaluation by social workers of those individuals classified at risk and rehabilitation of those who commit a crime are the right way forward.

Soem countires have capital punishment and others don't. And though a judge sentence death penalty if it isn't excuted, the country is classified non-capital punishment country. Is this system effective in preventing crimes? And can people kill other people in the name of justice?
There is an example of a country that enforced the capital punishment. In china, corrupted politicians and civil servants are given the death penalty. Drug dealers can be given the death penalty as well and it seems to be a very effective way of preventing these kinds of crimes. But same crimes are not eradicated in China and still occur now. In Korea the death penalty was used to kill people who were against the government and they made victims who were not criminals. Because it was very useful to get support and vote in election. Because Korean people were very sensitive to some North Korean terrors, crimes and spies. So they deliberately made victims who were innocent and they killed them just to get the support from the people and to win the elections.If some countires that don't have specific laws or rulled by dictators, that system can be abused and misused.
Actually all of the laws in every country are based on Napoleonic code which was in force approximately 200 years ago. The law has evolved from then. Because a judge is not always perfect, they can also make mistakes and they executed innocent people. It has really happened several times. And modern society always pursues justification, democracy and human rights. These are the aims of law. And the reason why developed-countries like the US and Western European countries are called so is that they always give priority to those aims.
To become a developed country, to evolve more for democratic society and to always take into consideration human rights, we have to be very careful to accept the capital punishment.

Nowadays some countries, for example emerging or developing countries are focusing on language and mathematics for their education. Because they believe only major subject like math, language and science can help them to become a rich country or successful people. But they have to notice that advanced-countries are giving a balance between major subject and minor subject like art and music.
More than 2 or 3 decades ago, the notion of intelligence was just about logics, maths and language. So the education system followed that kind of notion. But the result was tragic. The people who were not interested or didn't have that kind of talent were regarded as losers. Some crimes and high rate of suicide were caused by this education system and this is still a big issue in Korea. They have the highest suicide rate in the world because they still use this system.
But, some reseach by brain scientist has shown that people have various kinds of ability and each person has their own talents in their blood : not only maths and language but also physical ability, a sense of music or art, the ability to make relationship with other people and so on. Because of this ability, Steven Spielberg could earn more money by making the film 'Jurassic Park' than HYUNDAI's profit by selling cars all over the world and also Joanne Rowling could be very successful by writing 'Harry Porter'.
On top of that, children need a balanced education because art and music can help them to learn major subjects because the 'bridge' which connects the right-brain and the left-brain can be developed by learning art and music. Because the left-brain is related to ration and the right-brain is related to emotion. So by learning art and music, it gives a balance to each brain.
To sum up, by learning art and music together, people can be successful and stable. I think that people need a balance for their brain and for their lives.

This story takes place in Eastern England and London. This book is about the life of David Copperfiled. His father had died before he was born and his stepfather Mr.Mudstone is very stern and cruel so David has a very unhappy, difficult childhood. Despite of his young age, he is sent to a boarding school and work by his stepfather. Young David meets a cruel principal, wicked friends there but he also has good people in his life too. They are nurse Peggotty, aunt Trotwood and Miss Agnes who always gives good advice to David.
All of these characters are connected with some events. Sometimes they have good times, sometimes their lives are not easy. Hate, love, marriage, death, con and bankruptsy, all of these feelings and events happen to David, his family and friends. David also marries a waman who is a lawyer's daughter but she is silly and childish. That means, their love is blind love and they love each other indiscreetly and after their marriage she dies with illness. After that, David realises what true love is and he marries Agnes who has been being a true and wise friend.
Our life is unpredictable. I think Charles Dickens shows his unpredictable and dramatic life well through this story. As I just expected, Charles Dickens is the best writer.

I live in Daegu. Daegu is the third biggest city in Korea and 70% of our land is mountains, so my city is surrounded by them. My home is in a remote part of Central Daegu so it's easy to go to them. So, if you like hiking and climbing moutains, Daegu is amazing city. Because my hobby is hiking. London is a bit dull by camparison.
The transport system is similar to London because my city also has buses, an underground system and trains. But the fare is miles cheaper than London because the fare is only 50 pence and we can transfer bus to tube or tube to bus without any additional charge if you touch your transportation card (Oyster) on a touch pad whithin 1 hour of your first touch. And we don't distinguish zones so you can only pay 50p regardless of distance.
But there's no comparison with the environment. Because my city is surrounded by mountains so it gets a bit stuffy and my city has only a few parks in the certre of the city so I much prefer London's environment.
We have 4 distinctive seasons and a lot of mountains. To enjoy seasonal sports, England is not even close to Korea because we can go skiing in winter and we can go swimming or rafting in summer in the valley.
I've been to Brighton to see the beach. I think the beach in Brighton is nothing like as good as it is in Korea because our water doesn't contain lime, the colour of the sea is clean blue or green.
My city's economy is nowhere near as strong as London's because London is the centre of European and World finance and famous for tourism so a lot of foreign tourists spend their money on sightseeing and tours.
Near my city, there is a very traditional old city, Kyoung-Ju which was the capital of an ancient dynasty so it has rich heritage like big temples, marble sculptures, traditional houses, tombs of kings and so on. So I suppose there are paralles between the two cities.
If you visit Korea you should climb the mountains, enjoy seasonal sports and visit ancient and old cities because there is nothing for tourism in Korea without them.

Last December, I went to France. It was the first time that I had travelled to another European country outside of England. I visited several cities and Paris was my first city. I thought I wouldn't have any problems communicating in Franch. Although the French are very proud of their language, English is global language and I thought young generations can not have know English. But it turned out that my thought was a misconception.
They totally belittle English. I couldn't see any sign of English in Paris even in famous museums or tourist attactions. I took a strong stand against my ignorance of French.
Notwithstanding, I could find various tourist attractions on foot because Paris is not such a big city and I'm not illeterate wiith maps. But when I went to a restaurant or a bar, I struggled to understand the menu. I wanted to know what was what but, the waiter or waitress didn't know English.
Through my first journey, I realised that learning another foreign language is also important instead of English not for the total language or conversations with natives, but just for my journey. For example, some terms used in a station, restaurant, asking directions and greetings etc.
But apparently, I think French people are so serious. They are so ignorant about English. They have to accept the fact that the Napoleon's reign finished more than a hundred years ago, and the rise of using English in gllobal society has been common for 2 decades.
=====================================================================================================
James' Comment : Haha. I like the way you finish, Seokwon.
Don't forget - French was the language of the educated elite not too long ago. It's only in the past 20 years that languages like Greek, Latin and French have passed out of academic use. England was once a gift to be given by the French King. Given all that, it's easier to see...
Why the French have such an aversion to English and such a strong desire to maintain the use of their own language.
