POWER SHOW June 2008

video

Hello readers everywhere! Here's a video of the POWERSIM students for the month of June 2008.


They did a talk show hosted by Anne and Vicky. It known as the POWER SHOW.


They had a guest, a boy band,which made a shocking revelation to the disappointment of a hysterical fan...You can also hear the big NEWS about Osama Bin SHOOT being captured and was brought to New York for his trial. He has a 5usd reward for his capture. Yes! That is right! Only 5 U.S. dollars and the rest of the group has 10 U.S. dollars reward for their arrest. They are still at large and running away from the law. They are hunted all over the world and still considered dangerous. Watch out!^.^


Anyway, congratulations to all of you studying POWERSIM. You did great and always do even greater things.

Jason : TVsitcom Friends

I'd like to tell you about the TV program, "Friends." Friends is a sitcom about a group of friends. It is not a serious program so when I got stressed, I watch it in order to relieve my stress. My favourite actor is Joey because he is really funny sometimes and I think he has no brain. He speaks to them without thinking.

Also, the TV sitcom was broadcasted in Korea but it is similar to Friends sitcom. Sometimes I was bored because it has the same situation and the same story. I've watched Friends again since last year to improve my English skills. First, I watch it without subtitles. I tried to understand the story but it was extremely difficult at first and then I watch it again with subtitles. When I can't listen to their conversation clearly or I don't understand, I watch it again to understand.

I think the sitcom Friends is proper for studying English because through it I can learn about American traditions, thought and language which is very useful for learning English. Therefore, if people who want to study English, I'll recommend it.

"Starcraft" league program. -Astin

When i was in Korea, i usually watch starcraft league programme. Probably almost all Korean guys know about Starcraft. There are more than three starcraft league program in Korea. The way of progress is tournament. Usually it takes three months. Also every once a year starcraft is held in other country. Many starcraft players compete for the prize. Starcraft league in Korea is usually divided in three seasons. There's spring season, summer season and winter season. And there are eight teams only for starcraft. Many large companies in Korea make their own team for starcraft. And They invest a lot of money in their own team every year. Through this fact, we can guess about the magnitude of game industry. As long as the game league program exists, Starcraft league continues.

Hi~ I'm Isnear.

My favorite TV program genre is soap opera. I saw 'Heroes', 'Prison break'. 'Desperate houeswives', etc... These are not only interesting but also useful to learn English. How cool!
you can kill two birds with one stone. also we can experience the U.S.A culture indirectly by watching TV program.

But many students want to see Korean subtitle when they watch soap oprea. I'd recommend no subtitle. Although it's English subtitle. If you focus on subtitle, It's reading practice, not listening any more. and try to watch soap opera everyday. Have fun!!!

My favorite TV genre is comedy. Actually, when I watch TV, I don't think of anything except watching news. I want to take a rest while I'm watching TV. Therefore, I like watching comedy programs. It gives me fun especially when I'm tired. I don't need to concentrate on watching TV, but I can enjoy it. In these programs, they use simple English words, so if you are not good at English, you can understand those easily and accurately. Let's try watching comedy programs together!!







Finally captured!

OSAMA BIN SHOOT

This is a news flash.
Osama Bin Shoot, leader of the P.S.I.M terrorists who was the main culprit of 911terrorist attack was arrested 30minutes ago here in Cebu, Philippines.
After 2001, he who has disappeared has taught English to Korean students for 7years. According to His neighbors and co-workers’ interview, they have never known that he is Osama Bin Shoot because he has lived with a shaven head for many years.
When the police arrived at the scene, he was watching an adult video with his students.
Osama Bin Shoot will have a physical checkup today here in Cebu, subsequently, he will be traveled to New York United States of America, under tight police escort. One of the law experts said that Osama Bin Shoot will be sentenced to penal servitude for life.
That’s all, this is Jimmy Nam reporting for POWER SIM in Cebu.

Sex & The City

"Sex & The City"

There are four women in New York - They are intimate friends.
They talk about their lives and share their private lives.

Karry is a columnist about men, women and sex.
She leads the story and she narrates to deliver their emotion more effectively to viewers.
She is spiritually uplifting, loves her job, observes other people's life & feeling.
She is a lovely woman but she is scared of getting married.
Sometimes she writes column about " the right to buy shoes" - She want to show what's the difference between woman and man. And her conclusion is reasonable- We need to understand each other.
We are absolutely different species with different way of thinking.

Miranda is a lawyer & single mom.
Samantha is addicted to sex and Charlotte thinks that family and baby are the most important value in the world.

There are various stories there, you can't feel any boredom there.
And it has a lot of useful expressions so it's also good to study English.

Thank you.

Our Drama, Our Life.

'Desperate Wives' is the one of popular series' in America. By thinking about the reason, we can get the function of T.V programs as a media. Sometimes people think being a housewife is the easiest job in the world,
But in that drama, in terms of not only physically but mentally, do they have happy lives? I think all of them have troubles. Even one of the wives, who committed suicide, was not able to notice what the problem is, and there is no visible trouble in her life. They didn't realize they have something wrong in their lives. They are still busy managing the house chores. But it gives us something to think about. What is the hidden matter in our life? I'm not talking about feminism term. In that drama, they might want to talk about that. But in general, I want to say that T.V programs involve the social problem we have to reconsider. Indirectly and directly, T.V programs have meaningful elements, wheather it is valuable or not. What I mean is, it affects the audience by gathering empathy by showing the social problems in our real life. T.V programs can be continued, especailly the drama series. In conclusion, T.V programs reflect our lives that have so many troubles. Sometimes it gives us advices and empathies. Somehow our life is also a kind of drama, and we are the actors who are looking for the solution.

I must apologize for my long silence.

Mr. Shoot! ( You promised that you will teach me how to conquer english in two weeks!!)
Ms. Fritzie! (I miss your lovely smile and your consideration)
Mr. Lars! (I wanna listen to your indication about grammar errors..."basically wrong")


It was a confusing problem whether to attend Power.sim or not.
But It was really nice selection beyond my expectation.

They gave me a lot of things which could be "Music Video, Teamwork, Exprience, even award"
I can't explain and express my thinking using words...
Just I am gonna remember this sentense " Wherever we are, we are still good team"



Someone gives us confidence and interesting
Someone gives us emotion and appreciation.
Someone gives us accuracy and precision.


Ah! I will be back in a jiffy.
