School Events

Go for the Insight of the World Since 2010 Yong-hwa girl's high school has maintained G.L.S program to provide students with both unique experiences and international competence.

G.L.S program is an acronym of Global Leadership Scholarship and as the name of it suggests, Yong hwa girl's high school supports all the tickets' fees, hotel bills including breakfast fees within 7 days for selected students. G.L.S program's aim is to develop students' abilities to look at the world and also to foster teamwork and independence. And these do draw students' attention and arouse their curiosity so that a number of students applicants apply for G.L.S program to be included in lucky 16 selected students. Among 16 students, ten of them are selected as an admission score and the others by an English essay and an interview. And 16 students are divided into 4 groups, so that each group selects its own subject to investigate about and members of each stick together from beginning to end.

Before the students head to Singapore in autumn to investigate personally, complete advance preparations like contact with Singapore's institutions, making plan for a field investigation in Singapore, making chart of the comparison between Korea and Singapore's status as to subject, expanding background knowledge about the subject and scheduling are required. Carrying out these tasks, students hardly get any help of teachers and try to do all the things by themselves. And these works help students cultivate the spirit of team work and ability to solve the problems spontaneously.

During 7 days of research in Singapore, students visit many institutions and meet people related to the subject, do street survey and so on.

Kang Hyun-jung(1-2) who participated in 2012 G.L.S program said "G.L.S program was very meaningful to me. Because I was able to make my dream to major in finance clear as I researched into the theme by myself. Indeed, I did foster teamwork and was able to become intimate with members of team 1. And I'm sure that this unique experience will be recalled happily when I achieve my dream as a career woman in banking industry."

G.L.S program gives not only students a short-term scholarship program but also each student diverse effects in a long term. G.L.S program offers special opportunities to learn not only problem solving skills spontaneously but also experience Singapore's culture. Also, it makes students know the way to improve present status of Korea comparing that of Singapore's and this will lead them to be competent global leaders.

Once they arrive in Singapore to investigate personally, each team consisted of 4 members is able to conduct everything they want without teacher's authority.

Thus, the members can investigate and hang around with their flexible schedules.

' I'm not a Bully ' Campaign In November 23th to 26th, Yonghwa Girl's Highschool's club 'RCY' did a campaign. In this year there were lots of school bullying problems appeared. So lots of students suicide themselves, because they were hard to stand the pain of school bullying.

According to this problems, RCY did this campaign : Let's Stop Bullying. In November 23th, they did a sign campaign. Club members who converged in center entrance, hold a big picket which was written of number of School Bullying Stop Company, and meaning of Bullying. Also in the playground, they did a sign campaign. Students wrote their name in the paper. After that, students can get the bracelet, which was printed 'I'm not a Bully'. And 'RCY' members went to 'Sin - il Boy's Highschool' to do this campaign again. They did the same things which they did in Yonghwa Girl's Highschool. They gave almost 100 bracelets to students. On November 26th, they did the same campaign again. One of the students in Yonghwa girls high school(2-2 Kang So Yeon) said "I think this program was so nice. These days there are lots of dangers of school bullying. But according to this lots of students can change their mind. So I want this kind of campaign more and more." Another student(2-2 Jeon In Soo) said, "It can be a great chance to make

students altogether. Because we can feel the sadness of bullied people." Also one of the member of RCY(2-2 Choi Han Sol) said, "I want this campaigns affect to lots of students. Then we can make a clean school life. Also I was so excited to this kind of campaign!" Little by little, when we try to solve school bullying problems, we can do these kinds of things a lot. It's not for limited people. It's all for us. Let's solve school Bullying!

Why Bilingual Classes are Needed!

One of distinguished education systems of Yong-Hwa girls’ high school is “bilingual classes”. Some of fresh men want to take participate in that class. Bilingual classes mean they use both English and Korean in classes. Here comes fully understanding of bilingual classes.

Bilingual classes are divided into class number 1and 2. Of course, there is no gap between two classes. There is an entrance test to participate in bilingual class before first and second grade. That means if a students took part in bilingual class on first grade, they have to take test again to get in second grade bilingual classes if they want to. Also, some students couldn’t have a chance to take

participate in bilingual classes; they can challenge again on second grade.

This system aims using both English and Korean. So, in bilingual class, they have lots of experiences to use English such as making presentation, writing essay, doing group work and doing one’s own speech in English.

It’s not just difficult thing. They do find interests by doing those works.

Sometimes, they take classes in English. This could get rid of fears of English to students who are afraid of it and could be great chance to enjoy it to students who love English. In second grade of bilingual classes, they have excessive subject instead of taking art and music in order to learn in more thoughtfully.

Now, can you understand about bilingual class which is special education system in Yong-Hwa? It can be a good way to give a challenge to bilingual class.

Current Issues

The Unconventional Drama Have you ever seen dramas such as ‘옥탑방 왕세자’, ‘인현왕후의 남자’, ‘닥터 진’, ‘신의’ lately? They have one thing in common. Can you guess what it is? It's

timeslip. Timeslip is not a mechanical time travel just like time machine. It is a time travel that come and go to the past, present and future naturally.

First, crown prince 이각 and classical scholar 김붕도 of the Joseon Dynasty transcend time and space of 300 years in ‘옥탑방 왕세자’ and ‘인현왕후의 남자’. And modern doctors are teleported to the past through the timeslip in ‘닥터 진’ and ‘신 의’. Likewise, as many dramas use timeslip in story the interests of timeslip are increase. Then, why the timeslip dramas receive so much attention? The first, nowadays, young generations naturally accept 'virtual reality' through games, fantasy novels and movies. Because the viewers are much easier to be absorbed in fantasy drama.

Sometimes, the viewers can see historical content in timeslip drama. But drama producers distort history for fun. If timeslip dramas distort history, the viewers could learn wrong information about history. Therefore drama producers must try to write correct content for viewers. If these problems are improved, timeslip drama will look better than before.

I wish drama producers make with originative dramas such as timeslip drama.

The second, they wonder how the two characters who are in different generation success their love. But their love can't success easily because two characters live in different world. People pay attention love story that can't success easily. The third, people can see two different generation at the same time. Finally, timeslip is new material of drama which haven't seen until now. So many people can see refreshment and something different from dramas.

'Werewolf Boy' _ Witty, Tragic Tale of Romance "A Werewolf Boy" is doing strongly in theaters. The movie, which was released Oct.31. "Architecture" which was the biggest korean romantic movie box office success in first half, drew an overall audience of above 4million.

But "A Werewolf Boy" is much more popular than "Architecture". It's already over 6million. The main character is "Park Bo-young" and "Song Joong-ki".

This story is told through the recollections of an old woman who returns to her homeland 47years after the events of the tale unfold. Suni (Park Bo-young) moves to a remote valley with her family to undergo a period of suffering problems with her lungs. One day she find a boy near their home. And her mother decides to take him in the house until he finds his home. But after Suni feel pity on him because he can't speak like a wild animals. However, Suni starts to help him to train helping from the dog training manual. With time, the boy develops unconditional love for the girl and this relationship revokes jealousy from Ji-tae (Yoo Yeon-seck), a rich man from seoul who buys a cottage for suni. While there

is love between the two, their relationship seems to resemble like a pet and the owner. However, Cheol-Soo protect Suni and devote himself for her. Whenever she is in danger, he shows his previously hidden wild nature as a killer wolf.

This movie runs for 126 minutes. Distributed by CJ entertainment. Surprising one is, that instead of "A werewolf boy", there are new movies "Skyfall", "Upside down" and so on. Other interesting movies are coming up which is famous hollywood stars are acting. But they can't jump "A werewolf boy". In December, they will comeback to make woman's heart beating with different ending style.

Wonderful Korean Performance In the summer of 2012, Psy's Gangnam Style hit the world with light rhythm and easy-following dance. It showed how much people in the world had interest in K-pop. As time goes by, in other words, the popularity of K-pop increases more and more. Therefore, many concerts have been held by Korean singers all over the world to offer their performances to fans who don't live in Korea.

The culture of Korean performance comes to foreign people wonderfully. The formation in the performance and Korean fans' mind make them surprised. To give great concert to fans, Korean singers prepare for the best quality of music, gorgeous lighting, ect. The keys of their concerts are stories

in the flow of the them and singers' approach to fans. The stories make concert smoothly and are able to let audiences be more immersed in them easily. Also, these play a role in improving the quality of performances.

So foreign fans are astonished to see the performances and love K-pop more and more. One more thing in the secret of the popularity is Korean fans' mind. They are eager to cheering for singers. Wherever the singers have performances, they go there and support for them. The passionateness is an amazing thing to foreign people.

As you know, many people love K-pop throughout the world. Singer's advance to other countries is increasing more and more. We need to have a go-ahead posture to other country's culture.

Editorial

Status of South Korea in the World and the Way We Have To Go Do you remember that only 50 years ago, South Korea was a country that was devastated by warfare? By that, the world’s most poor country had no choice but to receive aid from various countries. In the middle of the continuous support, by the start of economic development plan in 1960s, South Korea could achieve high speed economic growth which is often called as ‘miracle of the Han river’ and all these were possible to achieve because of nations’ effort who wants to recover. By this surprising and unparrelleled thing, Korea was introduced to the world and its status increased steadily. Especially, recent events show the position in the international society so then let's have a look in these events.

First, in 2011, Ban gi-moon’s (secretary general of United Nation) reappointment was unanimously approved. Great thing was that there were'nt any voice of dissent on his reappointment from 187 countries.

Ban maintained objectivity and independence in order to promote international security, peace and justice while acting in all continents and it is pretty sure that his results satisfied the world nation.

Second is about Kim Yong. He was the president of Dartmouth college and this year he was recommended by American government as a candidate of World Bank general. Finally, for the first time in the history non-white person was appointed as governor of IBRD and he is now performing financial supports for developing country and poverty eradication.

Fourth thing is about singer (CY)PSY. Recently his song 'Gangnam style' obtained tremendous popularity all over the world and by this, world record was broken. His music video viewers exceeded 600million and everywhere he goes his music, performance and himself were welcomed by the people all over the world. Regarding his contribution Korea government awarded Culutural Medal for him. He made Korea's brand image much better and it is regarded as an important thing because it is showing 'South Korea' to the world.

Like above, recent 1~2 years' events show Korea's heightened international status. It's no exaggeration to say that it was from Koreans constant efforts. But there are things we must consider. South Korea grew as a country that can give aid to developing countries and that means our behavior and the level of consciousness have to be improved. Embarrassing situations like committing violence in the national assembly, not having courtesy and not only to abase Korea but also foreign countries are sometimes viewed to foreign press and we should know its shame. In conclusion, as Korean, we must not make ourselves nuisance to those who are gracing 'Korea' in the world. As students, we must not humble our nation and also know how great the achievements we had attained. I hope Korea and Korean can enjoy happiness in the far distant future, too.

EDIT_ Yu Jin Choi

The third one is also a proud thing. South Korea was elected as a new non-permanent member of the United Nations Security council. This allows the country to become more involved in handling global security especially issues about North Korea. This make Koreans to expect their activities in 2013. In addition we can overlook it.

NEAT Will Bring Us New Chances!

It becomes certain that National English Ability Test (same as above NEAT) would replace the present Scholastic Ability Test (same as above SAT) until at least 2016. Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (same as above KICE) announced that students who are in 9th grade now would take NEAT instead of taking SAT. NEAT, unlike the current SAT, consists of both written form test and speaking test and it would be practiced on online, following the formation of IBT. It is introduced to be achieving Basic English standards and balanced English communication.

There are some reasons that NEAT is welcomed.

First, NEAT considers more practical English skills than present one. NEAT system is to develop substantive ability of speaking. Present system, SAT has been troubled with showing less practicality in actual English skill. Most of questions were about finding grammatical errors in texts or correct the words in right formations, however, which are really don’t matter in conversation in 4 YONGHWA INSIDE

real life. Consider this; KICE included NEAT speaking and writing form of tests to lift up the effectiveness of Basic English rather than assessing high-advanced vocabulary.

Second, NEAT is viewed to be able to reduce burden of private education. Many parents are worrying about their children not using native pronunciation and intonation, however, NEAT doesn’t consider how good one’s pronunciation or intonation is. It only requires understandable Standard English, not professional level. So it can reduce parents’ burdens of excellent pronunciation which is thought to be only acquired in abroad studying. Also, NEAT’s examination officers would consist of school teachers, and it would give more credibility of public education. Also, many more school programs, such as English interview programs and learning practical English communication ability programs are about to be made for NEAT system. Thus, NEAT is expected to be the way of reinforcing public education.

PSY EFFECT After releasing the music video "Gangnam Style" through You-tube, the number of clicks dramatically increased on everyone's tongue. In September 18th, not even two months after releasing it, the total number of clicks reached 220 millions. Beyond the popularity in Korea, in America, PSY's music video became popular over and over. Many celebrities in Hollywood such as Tom Cruise, Britney Spears and Katie Perry mentioned about his music video on their twitter.

As soon as Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber's manager, watched PSY's music video "Gangnam Style", he wanted to contract with him. So Scooter Braun contacted PSY's Korean management, YG Entertainment at once. As a result, PSY could debut in America officially. Especially, his signature horse dance was a mega hit. He suddenly appeared dancing his horse dance at MTV Music Video Award. His sudden entrance took everyone by surprise but he made them crazy. PSY debuted in America successfully.

He made a guest appearance on many famous TV shows in a row such as NBC Ellen DeGeneres show, SNL, Today show, ABC nightline, Good-morning America and so on. When he appeared on Fuse News, he explained his contract process with Scooter Braun. When PSY signed with Scooter Braun, PSY said, "The key words that Scooter Braun said to me were, 'I don't want to change anything for this song.'" "For me and For all Koreans, it was a dream to knock US market with our own language. I want to do it in Korean, and if I can hit, it's going to be a history for my country."

chart and American Billboard chart. So CNN reported that Korean famous Popstar PSY ambushed America and he got a great success. PSY said that CNN played a huge role in his success and expressed his gratitude through the interview with CNN, even thoush that was the past. Also he said thanks to korean people to forgive his past case.

When American were asked to tell the PSY's keys to success, there are three common opinions. First is the easy melody and lyrics to remember. Second is funny dancing, and the last is fantastic M/V. Many of people who replied said if the song is like 'Gangnam Style', they will enjoy K-POP. PSY himself said about his key to success. "There are things that you want to do and can do. If you think you have to do something you want to, you can't do anything eventually. First thing you should do is figuring out yourself and start to do something you can do hard, then if you look back after 5 or 10 years, finally you can do what you really want to do."

PSY figured about himself exactly and he is singing a song that anyone can enjoy and copy easily. Actually he said that he can't do high-quality music and also cannot dance well. In a short, PSY's key to success is to figure out himself accurately. PSY has showed us 'Horse dance' through his 'Gangnam Style' and pursued not fabulous things but funny things. He is getting a huge love from the public through pursuing what he is good at.

EDIT_ Ji Young Ro

Also, "Gangnam Style" won the first place at the total single chart in England I-tunes as well as America I-tunes. According to Billboard Biz, the magazine of American Billboard chart, on September 9th, PSY's 'Gangnam Style' ranked the 64th on the first week in "Hot 100", the 11th on the second week, and now in November, he is the second. This is the best rank in the whole korean singer history, and the second in Asia. Furthermore, ranking the first in the UK Single Chart on September 27th, PSY is making a good showing in UK

Finally, NEAT is expected to reduce dependence of international English language tests such as TOEFL or TOEIC. Many Korean students have been taken those tests to make their own noticeable backgrounds. When a student who had higher record on those tests than others apply an occupation, he or she would be treated more competent and had more possibility to be chosen.

For this reason, many universities also have been used those tests’ record as a measurement to assess students. But by taking those overseas tests, quite considerable amounts of foreign currency slips away. Thus, Korean government came up with the idea of Korea’s domestic English test. It prospect to decrease the amounts of outflow of foreign currency.

present SAT and NEAT, many experts prospect that NEAT brings many effective changes in Korean’s English abilities. Korean government should take more trials until 2016 on online system to construct the Internet infra more surely in order to less the errors during examining. After thoroughgoing check-over, NEAT would successfully substitute present SAT, I believe.

EDIT_ Hui Soo Park

In addition, NEAT would be public evaluation English test because it shares many age groups examinee. In other words, NEAT would be general and official English test which enable objective evaluation.

Some people are worried that Korea’s Internet infra is not ready yet, and it would have much time of trials and errors like controlling the test’s difficulty.

Though it is quite certain that Korea will have transition period between YONGHWA INSIDE

Have you ever heard about ‘Underwater Ski’?

If there is ‘NHL’ on the ground, there is ‘Underwater Ski’ under the water!

It’s a very hot sport in England, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. It isn’t much different with hockey. They use their sticks and reach the goal with puck to rival’s net. But there is no such thing as fierce struggle between the players on the ground and it’s a big advantage of this game.

And here is a new form of bike which called ‘Recumbent bike’. It has its pedals on the front and chains connect with the front wheels. And when you want to change the direction, you have to use your body. It is true that it’s not easy in driving. But when you ride it, you can stretch your legs and lean your back to wide saddle. It will more comfortable than riding a general bike. But driving technique is difficult, so you have to practice diligently. And also you need to remember that you have to relax your upper body and work a pedal only using your legs and abdomen’s power.

And there are a lot of unique sports like ‘Lacrosse’ which is similar with hockey.

It was found by Columbus in 1492 and he improved it in Canada in 19Century.

‘Air lacing’ has many kinds of games, but the most popular one is ‘Formula 1’ which is playing with racing flight.

The headquarters is located in Paris, and sadly it’s not popular in Korea.

Moreover, there are many interesting sports. In winter season, people usually stay indoors and do not exercise because of cold weather. But if you are just staying home and do not move, your healthy could get worth and also you can gain weight. So if you are frightened by existing sports, why don’t you find a interesting one and do it with your friends or family?

It would be so much fun! And also it will give you power and make your daily life more pleasantly!

So, when you drink it with lemons, Vitamin C which lemon contains supplements insufficiency nutritions and taste is also very good than before. for reference, Vitamin C has some functions to resist infection, cure injury, and keep healthy.

The last food is sugar with tomatoes. when you eat sugar with tomatoes, you can't intake Vitamin B in tomatoes. Vitamin B is divided into Vitamin B1 and B2. Vitamin B1 helps to maintain nervous system, muscle, and heart function and give positive effect at mental health. Vitamin B2, another name for riboflavin, helps body growth and reproduction. For that reason to eat salt with tomatoes is better than sugar.

The last one is strawberry and milk or yogurt. Strawberry is rich in Vitamin C. However, to eat them together is good for your health because milk is not only lack in Vitamin C but also strawberry has lots of calcium and minerals component.

We get to know that the foods which we eat together may give us a bad effect. And we are also realized importances of foods by this chance. In United states, schools emphasis significances of groceries and teach about healthy eating. Furthermore, students learn about food ingredients with interesting models. So they doesn't boring and spend their time useful. We think that korea also have to teach students useful information about foods.

Whenever you see the fashion magazine, those stunning make ups and well-known designers' clothes just make you speechless. Not only they make you adaptable at the newest trends but they give you lots of useful tips about shopping which help you become the smart consumer. Above all they give you an insight about all kinds of styles and designs so watching fashion magazine is quite mandatory especially to Fashion People. It's no wonder so many people are reading fashion magazines.

Now let me introduce the world's most famous fashion magazine. There are so many popular fashion magazines like Céci, Cosmopolitan; But No.1 magazine of all time is Vogue. Vogue is an global iconic women's fashion magazine which has a history for more than a century. Its main substance is wealthy lifestyles and top designer products but lots of articles on books, films and art exist too.

Many people say that Vogue shows us that fashion is not something complicated, but can be natural and graceful. And many agree that Vogue is noteworthy because it reflects women's changing role in society and successfully manifests it with styles.

Another fatal attractiveness of Vogue is Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.

This 63-year-old woman is literally a legendary fashion tycoon. Her motto is "A fashion magazine is about change." One of her most-commented-upon innovations was using movie stars and singers as a magazine's cover model while other publications fixated on models only. She is also well-known by the sleeper hit, "The Devil Wears Prada", based on Wintour's actual life.

Unlike some people's thinking, fashion magazine isn't just about advertising products. The reason I subscript Vogue even when I'm very busy is because it gives me lots of knowledge and passion in so many various fields. Subjects aren't only fixed in styles, there are many interesting stories such as global problems, people, societies and so on. Vogue's the source of my creativeness and dreams. So how about trying Vogue right now? You won't regret your decision and soon you'll fall in love with Vogue just like I am now.

Cherish Him, Gogh!

"Starry starry night. Paint your palette blue and gray." Don Mclean made this song, cherishing Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh is one of the best known artists in the world. However he suffered from poverty and loneliness. Let's look into his life and his paintings.

He was born on March 30th, 1853 in Zundert, the Netherlands. His father was a very strict pastor. So, he couldn't express his thoughts freely. He was in conflict with others, including his family. He suffered from disjunction of lucrative painting and painting he really wanted to draw. There are 900 paintings but only one painting was sold. People didn't understand him and he didn't get awareness. Only Theo, his brother believed him to the last, Gogh died himself saying "Life is painful itself." The unfortunate genius dedicated the whole life to arts. Let's look into his paintings.

Starry starry night According to the letter that Gogh send to Theo, he saw a village with only the morning star through the window.

And he drew the painting not wholly from the view that he's able to see through the window, partially adding the view of his hometown in Netherlands. The atmosphere, moonlight and starlight explodes in his starry night. the desolate and deep blue reminds us death. This painting portrays the inner world of him.

Self Portraits He painted himself a lot because he didn't have enough money to hire models.

He drew self portraits using a mirror. So, we can see a brush in his left hand in some paintings.

Sunflowers Gogh is called "The artist of sun." It's because he drew many paintings of sunflower. Actually, he liked sunflower so much. It is said that Gauguin was fascinated by Gogh's paintings of sunflower.

What is Your Sign?: Twelve Zodiacal Constellations On a sunny day, look up the clear and dark night sky. What do you see? There are what we are going to talk about from now on. In the Milky Way, about a trillion stars are twinkling. And since ancient times, people have looked to the sky and imagined those trillion stars joined together to make patterns, called constellations.

Now there are 88 official constellations. We aren't going to list them all, we are going to focus on the 12 zodiacal constellations.

Zodiac is the path of the Sun across over the course of the year. 12 constellations of 88 constellations are in a certain region of the sky, the Zodiac. So, they are called zodiacal constellations or, more commonly, Zodiac Signs.

Look at the chart below. Assuming your birthday is May 28, your sign becomes Gemini, the Twins. Well then, will it be possible to see the constellation on May 28?

The answer is "No, it won't."

According to astrology, the constellations are in the Zodiac, in other words, they are near to the Sun. So in the daytime, you can't see them because of sunlight, and in the nighttime, you can't see them because they are in the opposite side with the Sun. For that reason, it is not actually possible to observe a zodiacal constellation in the night sky during the time. So you should look for your constellation in the exact opposite time of the year. For example, to observe Gemini, the Twins, you will have to wait until winter to see it. It's better to spend your observing time viewing Scorpio, the Scorpion.

Consequently, zodiacal constellations are grouped according to the season when they are observed. Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio are observed in spring; Sagittarius, Carpricorn, and Aquarius are observed in summer; Pisces, Aries, and Taurus are observed in autumn; lastly Gemini, Cancer, and Leo are observed in winter.

Gemini, Leo, Taurus, and Virgo are easy to find, and if you try, the others are also not that difficult to find with a telescope, a pair of binoculars, or even the naked eye.

In Korea, 53 constellations, including zodiacal constellations, are observed. And thanks to the clear night sky, winter is the best season to observe the constellations, except that it is cold weather. It means now is the best time to observe the constellations.

People say it's hard to see the stars in the city. However, why don't you try to find them? Furthermore, what about making your own constellation with your family, friends, and lover?
