London Life It has been about 10 months since I came to London. I wanted somewhere outside of Korea in order to study English intensively. In addition, because England is in Europe, I've had more chances to travel to other European countries. There was no reason not to choose London as a place in which I would stay. I'm living in Wimbledon, as known as Tennis Mecca. It takes only 30 minutes to get to a famous rail station, Waterloo and I can enjoy many tourist's sites like Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St. Paul Cathedral and etc. Most of them, my favourite place is Portobello Market in Notting Hill. It's gained its reputation as a background of the film, Notting Hill. As I walk through the market road, I feel that people's liveness inspires me. You don't really want to miss countless antiques displayed here and there on the street stands. Secondly, I like walking nearby the river Themes from London Eye to Tower Bridge. I can simply enjoy London's past and future at the same time with a gentle breeze from the river. When seeing a large number of lights from the City and the bridges reflecting the surface of the river, you can hardly remember the daily stress. Finally, I will miss everyone I've met here. I don't think I have been able to deal with many problems without them. So friendly and nice people. I won't forget their love and supports.

Logical english???? I can't be the representive of all the koreans who are learning English, but at least I can say that there is a difference of opinion about the logics between english and korean thinking systems. In this reason, whatever I speak or write, it is based on korean logic system so it sounds clumsy. We, who is learning english, reluctantly follow the way the native speakers do. Of course, I know it's not easy to do it because we are not in english speaking environment. Use whatever they use. Repeat it. Make it as yours. That's what i've realised while i was learning english so far.

Informal writing?? I've met the tasks to write informal letter to a friend of mine or an information sheet. But it's difficult to know whether it is formal that I've written. What makes informal writing?? Now I'm trying to write in informal way while I'm writing this entry. If you feel something formal apart from being a light writing, let me know what it is. I don't know what is exactly different between an informal writing and a normal chat on the web. Would it be an informal writing if I use less grammar structure? Or is there no rule to determine whether it is informal? I might be used to writing in formal way, so I can't tell which one is which. Or I might be right. Thank you for reading my entry. Please correct some strange expressions or spelling errors. I would appreciate it if you reply with your opinion about what I've concerned.
