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.

한국에 있을때부터 느낀거지만 모국어를 잘 해야 외국어를 잘 할수 있다는것...
주제가 주어졌을때 뭔가 써서 채우자니 내 배경지식과 경험의 한계를 절실히 느낀다.

난 아직도.... 한참 배고프다. (무지하다)
학창시절 왜 그리 책을 읽지 않았는지..... 최소한 신문이라도 좀 많이 읽었어야 하는데.....
나이 28 넘어가서 겨우 철들락 말락하여 조금 몇 페이지 넘긴걸로 IELTS Writing을 하자니, 번번히 벽에 가로 막힌 느낌이 들때가 많다. 

모국어를 잘하자. 정말 불변의 진리인것 같다.
