Of course there are educational problems in Korea as well. But this time, it is not surrounding issues like low-income or harsh environment, because by government law, everyone must receive education in school no matter what happens; therefore, the majority of students do not need to pay the school fee unless they attend private schools

Different from America, where everyone deserves an opportunity, in Korea, students must be in the top lists to be successful, that is why Korea has a high rate of suicide among students.

He is a Korean and writes everything from Korean games, movies, education, politics, sports, social issues and more, but mostly complaining about them.

  Do you need to say "a" Korean? Maybe just "He is Korean?", and "writes about everything from.." instead of just "writes everything"

I decided that I should input my opinions on sports related issues and so I started this blog. I pride myself on trying to being fair. I still have my favorite sports teams and athletes that I root for, but I strive to be fair in my sports related analyses. I guess you'll agree or disagree based on my upcoming posts.

Food Adventures: Trifecta - 0 views

shared by Lauren Goehner on 09 Feb 10 - Cached

Ever since 5 o’clock this afternoon, I have been trying to think of a way to introduce this blog. Since then, 5 hours have passed and my mind is still a blank. I really want to tell you about my culture, my love for eating, my culture’s love for eating, my culture’s love for uncommon foods, but I cannot formulate the words to do so.
- Lauren Goehner on 18 Apr 10
  
  I love your honesty with the readers in this intro. Only suggestion - in the last sentence, maybe add an "and" : "..my culture's love for eating, AND my culture's love for uncommon foods..." to help it sound a bit more complete.

That is why I feel very fortunate to come from a Cantonese family because we eat many weird and unusual foods in our culture like field mice, crickets, and scorpions (well, that’s not on our daily menu). As Cantonese people put it, “as long as its back faces the sky then you can eat it”.

he variety of post topics, blogging from interesting highlights from his travels to introducing wonderful shops and restaurants in Paris and cooking up delicious desserts, is full of surprises

So browsing the past brought up a lot of "she did whats?!" that would make the avid gossipists look away with shame for my naivety. 
- Lauren Goehner on 04 Feb 10
  
  This sentence sounds as if it is part of the author's diary - this whole introductory paragraph reads almost as a diary entry, giving the readers a special insight into the author's thoughts. The descriptive language in this particular sentence evokes a very clear image, as I can almost see a group of gossiping women behind their trashy magazines, with a look of shock on their face.

  This is a good example of the author's voice, and the realtionship she is cultivating with her readers. By saying, "you know what?", it's as if she is telling us a secret, which in a way she is.

What the heck is going on here?
- Lauren Goehner on 04 Feb 10
  
  The use of a rhetorical question combined with his informal language ("heck") develops his tone on the subject. It conveys his confusion, and a feeling of absurdity, almost more so than if he had simply said, "What?" or even "What the hell?".

unnecessary. It looked fine after the first one. This just creates more scar tissue which could cause problems down the line.
- Lauren Goehner on 04 Feb 10
  
  For each procedure, he gives a blunt, one word response, and then elaborates briefly. By doing so, he conveys his own voice and opinion, while demonstrating medical knowledge without the complex jargon and sounding too much like a doctor.The readers do not care to know more than what he says.

Heidi had a very nice derriere before the surgery. She should leave well-enough alone. She risks it becoming lumpy and uneven.
- Lauren Goehner on 04 Feb 10
  
  Instead of saying butt, he chooses to say "derriere", which sounds more sarcastic. Again, he uses brief sentences and informal language ("lumpy" and "uneven"), enhancing the conversational feel. You can almost hear him standing, counting out each surgery on his fingers, and giving his respective opinion.
