my daily routine :) As soon as l wake up on the bed I try to exercise but most of the time I end up oversleeping. then I feel so disappointed and guilty in being lazy. a few hours later I sit at chair and start to practice my Japanese. I’ve always wanted to find what to learn another foreign language except for English. and Japanese was chosen. These past few month I have been learning Japanese. I sing J-pops and try to memorize some useful sentences and write my journal in Japanese. I spend most of my time learning second languages such as English and Japanese. I also enjoy watching amarican dramas with English subtitles through netflix. Netflix is not only interesting content box but also a useful tool of learning a new language. So overall this is the way I spend my day.

My house I have been living in a small apartment for 9 months. My family moved to this house last January. This building is painted white and orange colors and inscribed ‘정원주택’ the name of the building. Once you get into the entrance you should come up the 3rd floor and ring a door bell. in no time you are going to see my complete kitchen with dishes, pots and pans for cooking and a small table and chairs to sit at and eat. Right next to a refrigerator, There is a spacious room for my parents. I used to access there to watch 50 inch T.V. with Netflix, and High Speed internet. And l have my own room on the opposite side of my parents’ room. This cozy, clean, compact room is my favorite place to relax after long day. My room is fully equipped with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe and so on. RIght next to the bed, There is a huge window which allows so much sunshine and never let me oversleep. So overall this is my place looks like.

about me Hello Eva. This is Jihee from Seoul. It is a whole bunch of joy to talk to you about myself. My name means ‘Shine with wisdom’. I wish my life would work out the way l was named by my parents I just turned 26 years old. Because I recently have my 26th birthday. I am such an independent person who always hopes to move out from my parents’ house. however I still live with my parents and a medium sized dog. My building is shared with 8 families and we live on the 3rd floor. plus, I am a dog person. I have been living with dogs since l was 8-year-old little girl. unfortunately one died when I was 17 years old and then the other dog is with us now.It sounds ridiculous but Sometimes I feel like becoming a citizen in imaginary dogs world. That is my short story. Let me hear you about myself more in the next questions

Is it possible to say 'like' instead of such as? My friend is preparing English speaking test called OPIC and she read me her script saying l like all kinds of movies like romantic comedy, action, thriller etc. Does that sound natural to use like instead of such as?

Change of Music taste In my teenage years I used to fall for Korean girl groups named wonder girls, girls generations. Both groups were extremely popular among teenagers. there was a friendly rivalry between those idol gropes. I loved to listen to irony, tell me, and so hot by wonder girls and into the new world, gee by girls generation. nonetheless the older l get the more I love learning global languages such as English and Japanese, which led me to spend more hours listening to their music. these days I have been into Bruno Mars, Anna Clendening and Nishino Kana. Nishino Kana is one of the top singers in Japan. Once again, I enjoyed listening to Kpop at first but now I fell in love with foreign music.

The first musical of my life I remember a time when l went watching musical named Anna Karenina. it is one of hottest musicals. The day of the musical was my birthday. I enjoyed it with my old friend. she paid everything for me. The musical was held at Blue Square in Itaewon. The concert hall was huge and the vibe coming from the stage was spectacular. The performers were so professional that they were familiar with their special techniques such as amazing show. Beautiful light, powerful sound, magical scenery, innovative screens and meaningful lyrics. I was completely absorbed in this musical drama which is based on the famous nobel written by Leo Tolstoy. Looking back, it was worth more than money and time as it is my first musical with my dear buddy.

I have nothing but music I have nothing but music. I spend every single minute listening to music. Especially I love listening to music when l am on the move with earphones on. music is my best friend. When I m sad. It gives me strength to boost up myself and courage to face my problems. Sometimes I feel like the older I get the fewer friends I have and there is no one whom I can share my anxiety, concerns and worries with. music is right there to bring the happy memories up and to make me cry more. but it helps. my feeling’s much better. Using youtube is the best way for me to enjoy my favorite music. not only tasting lots of music but also I can enjoy other’s comments. I tend to find some comments that I can relate to about the song. Overall I love listening to music when I am on the move and enjoy other opinions related to the song on youtube.

i didn't want to be late in returning library books. does that sound natural? haha thank you in advance

a modern device for music As time goes by smart phone is becoming more convenient and useful. We can do most of work with our smart phones such as bank business, finding directions. listening to music through this clever companion is a piece of cake. the smarter cordless phone is, the easier life is. People don’t need to carry any extra equipment to listen to music. We can easily reach to our enjoyable songs by using the streaming service on our smart phones. in addition they have a lot of storage on them. so hundred songs can be saved in this small machine. I think the sound quality is as good as using mp3 players. meanwhile smart phones have bluetooth functions on them so we can connect them to car audios or audios at home. And these days bluetooth headsets are in favor. they are incredibly handy that we don’t need any wires. Once again, the latest trend is in the music industry is smart phones and bluetooth.
