Movie & Film Class :)




We took a Movie and Film class and a teacher was Vicky. During the class, we watched the movie “Forrest Gump” and after movie, we had some quizzes related to the movie and discussed our opinions.


1. Touching movie “Forrest Gump” and Encourage participation
We’re watching “Forrest Gump” in class. It’s very touching movie. And Tom Hanks is sooooooooooooooooooo handsome. While we’re watching movie, I’m falling in his attraction. Anyway, the movie choice was excellent. This movie inspires self-confidence and dream in our mind.

Throughout our movie class, we’re quite enthusiastic because of the participation coupon. It makes people to watch movie with attention and also to encourage participation in class. Even some students who do not usually answer well try to participate and make an answer.

2. We can improve listening and learn new expression
Maybe almost Korean students study TOEIC test. But sometimes we cannot understand western people’s talk, because we don’t know real life expression well. In the movie, we keep listening English, especially expression using in real life, and learn many expression in the movie. Characters in the movie use idioms and slangs. If we study with movie, we can learn new expression as well as improve listening skill.

3. Common Sense and History
By watching the movie “Forrest Gump”, we could learn about history, for example, Vietnam War, assassination of American presidents and Watergate scandal etc. And we could get to know the details through assignments that teacher gave us. It helped us accumulate a lot of common senses so it was really worthwhile.

My 3 favorite parts of the Camp

The most interesting activity in this camp was baking class. Because I like making but I didn’t have any chance to bake. So before came here, I read introduction about camp, found there’s a baking class and very excited.
Last week, finally, we baked cookies about 2 hours in the cooking class. And actually it was funnier than I expected and I really enjoyed that time. Especially, the process, we cut the cookies with diverse shape of cookie cutters, was really fun. I want to learn baking after this camp.

And the second thing I liked is Conversation Lounge. Although it was only 15 minutes for each activity, I could meet other students of other class and play many games. It was really fun.

And for the third one, field trip to Ltin America museum was my favorite.
