Q) How was your day today? Anything special happen.

Yeah, I think today was so busy because in the morning I woke up very early and went to the hospital for just checking my regular health things

It is not that big problem and some illness but I just check my sleeping style or sleeping things Yeah

I need to go there next week because they need to check another thing because there is no problem but they said I'm so young that it is difficult to do something severely so I went there and today was so rainy The weather is so bad that I always carried my umbrella and walked a lot and there's no people on our city streets so yeah I'm so exhausted today

Q) Okay, thank you. So we are halfway through the year right now. How would you rate the last six months and how do you want to spend the next six?

Ah, okay, I think my before six months rate is not that good. It's like, 5 or 3, 3 or 5. And middle, middle rate. Because I did something hard like studying English or searching my new jobs like this. But I think I cannot have some good results or achievements.

I'm satisfied myself but the result is not approved and I want to rate my before six months like three scores out of five and next six months I wish I had perfect score like because I want to make some resort or have another job in six months like this year. Okay, anything more? Yeah, it's clear. It's okay? Okay, good.

Q) July is a month when many people take vacations. Can you describe a memorable vacation you took and explain why it was special to you?

I think last year I went to Thailand and Vietnam for the summer vacation.

Actually it was a business trip but I traveled a lot secretly with my boyfriend and with my friends so it was really good because it is first time to go there with them and I like their food because they have very good traditional food like Pad Thai or curry like this so it was good and also my mother My mother didn't have any experiences of the abroad travel but she really liked it and it was first time to travel with her so she now she got some desire to go everywhere so yeah that was my special experience life experience.

Q) Except your mom. Why did anything else make it really special? Like why why is it the most memorable?

Because as I said before, it was a business trip and it was my last business trip because I quit my job. So I enjoyed my whole business trip very with my energy, whole energy. Working hard of course and after that I played and I go everywhere with my friends or mother so it was special and also it was sad because I can't go there after that period so I think that emotion was so special.

Q) Can you explain a hobby or activity that you're passionate about and how you got started with it?

Okay. This day I think I'm into the yoga. I started one year ago because I think my body was so stiff and I think other sports are so expensive to learn so I want to learn more comfortable thing with just some little money and it was yoga. And also yoga made my mental health and physical health strong. So it was good. And this day I started it again after quitting my job. And yeah, it is a traditional yoga that is very hard because they have very difficult posture, postures a lot.

And sometimes I sweat a lot because they have various kinds of yoga styles and one of it is like make that environment until 40 degrees. humid environments and in that environment I need to do something difficult posture that it makes me pretty tired and really exhausted but yeah it is really good after I finished it because I can feel I'm really proud of it and I could finish it and it makes my body feel more comfortable.

Q) That's nice. So we're going to get into more argumentative questions. Should students wear uniforms in school?

Definitely, I think they should wear school uniforms because they are young and they don't have money. They don't earn any money in their student life. if they don't wear school uniform, they always need to buy their own clothes and they need to change their clothes every day.

So I think it is very stressful thing to the students because they are young and they sometimes compare to others like the money or the clothings, clothes that the school uniform can reduce the stressful situations and also the parents can, parents stresses will reduce, will be reduced because they don't care about their, they can, they don't care about the children's clothes or other things.

Q) Any personal experience?

For my personal experiences, I prefer the school uniforms too because I can feel more condensed feeling in the school with my classmates or the teacher because it means that I'm a student and I need to do students things like studying or hang out with my friends and classmates well. So I can feel more condensed feeling in my school when I wear my school uniforms. Is it better to live in the city or the countryside?

Yeah, both have their own advantages but I think the city is better than the countryside because the city has more facilities like transportation or hospitality and banks like that so they don't have to go far distance to go there and also If people live in the countryside, they always have worries about how they can commute well because everything is conceptualized in Seoul that they always need to go there like me.

I live in Gimpo, it's near Seoul, but I think that is not that city but not that countryside but in that distance many people think it is so difficult to go to Seoul or to go to their job Any cons of living, any disadvantages in the city? Also, I think that air condition is not good in the city because In the city, there are so many buses and cars and everything that make the air condition worse. Especially in spring, it's been worse.

Some people wear their masks or other things to make their air condition better.

Q) Is it better to have one close friend or many friends?

Yeah, it is so hard question and I think it is better to have many friends Because personally I always learn a lot of things from different person not like me. And sometimes it is more fun and enjoyable to hang out with them.

So if you have just one close friend, it is good and it is trustful and so special friend but if the friends go other country or if the friend have some bad issues for stopping the contact, you can got a lot of stress and also if I were person I would be depressed but if I have many friends I can just hang out with them and also they can support me and I also can support them so I think it is better to have more friends than one friend.

Q) Do you prefer to work from home or in the office? And what are some advantages and disadvantages of working from home?

In my case, I prefer working in the office. I experienced both styles of work and I found out that it is more productive to work in the office because we can get more meetings together and that all the devices and facilities are good in office than home. Like they have good monitors and good printers like this so I can use it more quickly and effectively.

But in my house, that kind of devices are limited like I just I should just use my things my devices so it is not the same environment in like office so it is so it was so difficult to do something productively but working at home have good things like they can reduce the commute time because commute time is so stressful. You should use a lot of hours to go to the work or go back to your house but if you work in the house you don't have to get stressed about it.

Q) About this advantage of working in the office?

Working in the office. When we work at the office, it is good to meet people a lot but sometimes we can get conflict with them because we should just face each other and the little conflict can be bigger because they can talk about it to other people and it can be more bigger.

Q) One last question. Should pets be allowed in apartments?

Yes, I think the pets should be allowed in the apartment.

This day, I think the apartment has good facilities for the pets or pet owners. So they can use some playground for pets or the walking trails for the pets. But they need to follow some rules like They should care about their dogs and make them not bite other people or yeah, some smashing something. This is not allowed but if they keep that rules and if they don't ignore that rules, the pets can be allowed in the apartment and also many people will happy about it.

Q) How would you feel if there's an annoying pet as your neighbor? Would you understand?

Actually, I'm scared of pets. Sometimes I'm scared of dogs, small dogs barking a lot. It is sometimes annoying, but I think it is their freedom because if they just have manners and good guidance, I'm okay, but if they ignore the rules or they conduct some bad manner, then I'll be very sad and angry about it.
