My 8th Question: Do you think some famous athletes and entertainers deserve such high salaries as millions of dollars every year?

Sometimes, we can hear of the complaint that the famous athletes and entertainers get too high salarires comparing to ordinary people. For example, When Kim Dong Ju, a baseball player in Doosan Bears, became FA last year, his annual salary rose up to about 8,000,000,000 won. At the time, there were so many public opinions criticizing this phenomenon because the companies sponsoring each team feel managing a team is a big burden and if they suffered financial difficulty, they even could be willing to give it up like Hyundai Uniconrns. In addition to sports stars, entertainers have been a target of criticism. They are said that their pay is much bigger than their efforts.
However, I think they get what they deserve. To succeed is not as easy as someone just dreams. We usually tend to overlook their sweat behind success and be interested in their high rewards.
So, my question is : "Do you think some famous athletes and entertainers deserve such high salaries as millions of dollars every year?"

My 7th Question : In our country, is there more need for land to be left in its natural condition or to be developed for housing and industry?

To be honest, I usually oppose to the policies of the Grand National Party, especially in "the Great Canal of Korean peninsular ". Sometimes, I feel it's crazy when I hear of the pulbic servant in a high status in TV. The honesty and the trust disappear in our society and people are interested only in growing their wealth. If they make a big profit, they might do whatever. Even if many specialists and professors warn of the disaster of the canal, others drive it secretly in the name of our economy.

My Question is another one. : In our country, is there more need for land to be left in its natural condition or to be developed for housing and industry?

Some people think that Korea should use available land for housing and industry because of a growing population. But I think to preserve nature is more valuable than to develop it in terms of our future. It could be utilized like kind of tourist attractions in an environment-friendly way someday.

My 6th question : which vacation do you prefer, one long vacation each year and several short vacations throughout the year?

A few weeks ago I had a meeting with my sisiter-in-law's family. And at the time, I knew that my niece who go to elementary school in Busan will have a short vacation for 9 days on May. Office of Education in Busan allows original 4 weekdays to become holidays becuase these days are put between 2 consecutive holidays, Children's day, and 3 consecutive holidays, Buddha's coming day. So my sisiter-in-law's family has some plan for a trip during this period.

What about your opinion? My question is "which vacation do you prefer, one long vacation each year and several short vacations throughout the year?"

As for me, I prefer a long vacation because I have the chance to pursue personal interests. I can learn a new hobby and plan to travel to different countries.

Q5 : Do you agree that ranking schools and separating suprior and inferior students is effective for the improvement of students' ability for study?

Yesterday was Election day, and the Grand Nitional Party won and got more congress men than any other parties. The number of them are more than half. The goverment came to have the power making new policies and will push the change of overall society forward. Probably education is not exception. While previous goverment persued the realization of equal chance for education, this government, I think, wants to promote the effectiveness of education through students' competition and give the appropriate reward for that.

So my fifth question is "Do you agree that ranking schools and separating suprior and inferior students is effective for the improvement of students' ability for study?"

As for me, I think it has some advantages. When excellent students gather together in one group, they try to do their works better and it could lean to a positive competition. They could learn more each other. And other studnets also could be taught adequately according to their levels and prevented from being alienated in school. In some aspect, enlargement of "a High School for a Special Purpose" would be helpful.
