i confess i tried but everytime failed to finish watching the video, The Secret, because it's like a brainwashing thing.
yesterday, andy strongly recommend just watch the recorded Oprah's show. unlike other people who confess their exprience of immediate change of mind, it made me think a lot.
slowly, 'forgiveness, gratitude, action, service ... ' kind of abstract words became live in my mind. nowadays i was vaguely expriencing those kinds of feelings at Knue.
the secret = understanding the law of attraction

Q9: How do you feel finishing the 1st session in this program?
Coming Friday is the last day of the first session in the IETTP.
I got nervous and felt frustrated when the fist month passed.
Now, I become realistc again.
During the session, the skit practice and performance was the one of the unforgettable.
We did our best and did a good job, too. Especially I was so flattered to perform my part well from many trainees, and I felt quilty because all classmates also showed superb acting.
Anyhow, we expeienced many things and could understand us more than ever before through the skit performance . Just remember good things and keep up the good work in the next session.

Q7: How can I improve my English speaking?
Hi,
I thought suprasegmental elements are the most important things in natural speaking. However, through my long-term observation, I have to practice speaking from the beginning(pronouncing drill of alphabet) if I want to speak English naturally and correctly. But it's a long way. Before reaching the goal like that, I should be retired.
Plz, tell me your practice experience and good tips to improve your speaking.
I'm serious. Hope all of my classmates' helpful suggestion or advice.

Q6: What is the usual substitute for the regular meal?
Hi!
Last week, I stayed here at Knue on the election day. It was like a survival game. No heater, no warm water, and no free meal.
In case of having no regular meal, I used to eat Ramyon. But after I have some problem in my health, I changed my dietary habit. I tries to eat small as possible as I can, and do exercise.
So the Ramyon is the first one to avoid, but sometimes I can't be irresistable.
Can you tell me what good substitute food you know.
Enjoy your daily life here~~^^

Q 5: When do you feel happy studying English?
Hi, classmates!
In my case, I feel happy when I find a solution to the problem which always haunted me. Yes! Yesterday, I realized one solution for my bad pronunciation problem.
My recent agony was whether I could change my pronunciation more naturally. In a book, American Accent training, the writer encourages us to have confidence saying, " just as classical musician can play the jazz music if training some time, any non-native speakers can change their pronunciation with proper textbook and practice."
I've thought of my pronunciation on each word is not bad, but when speaking or reading a sentence, the rhythm and intonation is really bad. Hearing my recorded voice reading some paragraphs always made me frustrated.
Yesterday, I read and practiced pronunciation using a book, Clear Speech, and I realized why I can't sound like native's rhythm. I have misunderstood accent. I've just tried to make a strong sound at stressed syllable in a word, not to use proper pitch which means the highness or lowness of a musical note in music. Maybe it is related with my tone-deafness in singing. I learned a tip that American children's 'Uh-uh!' sound is useful to practice English tone, and I abrubtly realized how I can improve my pronunciation while practicing to pronounce 2~3 syllable words. It's an miracle for me. I couldn't do anyting from that moment. I went on a picnic near natural park and have a nice time with my kids. Even though I didn't start the outline for second essay homework, I am really happy now.
