자기 소개 및 대학, 날씨

1. Now, let’s begin the interview. Please tell me about yourself.

My name is Bum Soo KIM. I’m 27 years old.

I was born and still living in Seoul. And I have grown up in warm-hearted family. There are 4 members in my family.

I’m a little introverted. So when I was a high school student, I start learning magic with my friend, because I want to overcome introverted character. So finally I overcame my character through I show magic to strangers. But now, I don’t practice it, so I don’t do it well.

My hobbies are riding cycle and playing the guitar. Sometimes I ride my cycle at Ilsan Lake Park, there are comfortable riding track and beautiful landscape.

And I have played the guitar for 1 year. So I think my skill is intermediate, but It is hard for me to play finger style. So I practice it daily to be like Jason mraz.

And I major in chemistry at Samyook Uni. now, I studied semiconductor at NITU. Both chemistry and semiconductor are very interesting study. Nowadays, semiconductor is very important industry in Korea. So I want to work for Semiconductor Company Such as Samsung, Hynix, ASE Korea and other companies. But I’m working at Korea Resources Corporation by casual employee, so I

That would be all and thank you.

 

2. You indicated in the survey that you go to school. Please describe your school in detail.

My University is located in 공릉동.

There are about 20 buildings on campus, which is a harmony of artificial and natural.

At the corner of the campus, there is a lake, which is named 제명 lake. There are so many benches and beautiful trees, so our students and neighbor citizens usually take a rest and take a walking around the campus.

My University is based on SDA that stands for Seventh-day Adventist church, so students don’t have to smoking and drinking on the campus.

Thus our campus is very clean and quiet, so I like my campus.

 

3. Tell me about a typical day on your campus. When do your classes start and finish? With whom do you eat lunch? Tell me about your typical campus life.

My typical day is not special. I usually go to the campus about 10 A.M, because attended classes’ start time is in the morning.

And my classes’ times are very different everyday. But lunch break is fixed at noon, so I have lunch with my friends at school cafeteria, because its food is so cheap and taste is not bad.

I usually leave in library until 9 P.M because I have to some assignments and other studies.

And sometimes when I don’t have many assignments to do, I usually try to get some exercise after classes.

 

★4. Let’s talk about your first visit to the campus. What was your first impression when you visited your campus? How did you go there? Who did you go with? What did you do on the campus at that time? Tell me all of the details.

The impression I got on my first visit to campus was very friendly. Many upperclassmen who were orientation counselors came out to receive the freshmen and help us carry our luggage into the dorm rooms. They also kept asking whether we needed anything and tried to comfort my father who drove me to the dorm. And after I was done for unpacking, I took a conversation with my now roommate.

 

5. Tell me about the seasons in your country. What season do you like best? Why do you like it? What things do you usually do in that season?

In Korea, there are four distinct seasons although the summer and winter are growing longer due to global warming. Among the four seasons, my favorite is winter, because I love winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and skating. Among the winter sports, my favorite is snowboarding. Nowadays, winter in Korea is colder than past. But when I’m on snowboarding, I’m so excited and I don’t feel cold. Even now, at the thought of snowboarding, my heart starts pounding. And I like scenery of a snow covered mountain, because it looks like pure and clean. So I love going to ski resort. And I also love winter.

 

6. What kind of things do Korean people do during summer and winter seasons? Tell me in detail.

During the summer, people usually go on vacations. Of course, the beaches are generally the hot places. 경포대, 해운대, 대천 are most famous beaches. These places are so energetic and lively, but so crowded. So some people who like rafting or fishing go to valleys and rivers. These places are less crowded than beaches, but during the vacation times, these places also are crowded.

And during the winter, people usually go skiing and snowboarding. So ski resorts are very crowded, so some people go spa. Generally older person go to spa because it is very relaxed and warm.

And young person enjoy winter sports. And they importantly think about Christmas. So many students feel too much press of dating expense. So I think that this Christmas culture must change like American style that focuses on family.

In short, I think all of world people are similar to activity in the each season.

 

7. Do you have some memorable things about the weather? If so, how was the weather at that time? What happened? Why was it memorable to you?

The most memorable moment regarding weather happened a couple of years ago. When I was soldier in army, that winter, it snowed the heaviest for more than a century. The military bases shall always remain in battle capable condition, because Korea is technically still at war. At that time, I had to shovel and sweep away snow during the snowing. The snow was viewed as nothing more than trash falling from the sky. However much I shoveled out, the snow was endlessly stacked up on the yard. The scene is still lingering in my eyes to this today.

And at that time, Korean winter liked to Siberian, because Siberian very cold air was coming to Korea. So 연천’s lowest degree is around minus 30 degree Celsius. I don’t forget that air until now.

 

8. What is the weather like in your city today?

It is summer in Korea.

Summer in Korean is usually rainy season, so it is very hot and humid. And the average temperature is around 30 degree Celsius.

But today is a little cool, because yesterday, it was heavy rain.

I generally don’t like sweating and clammy air, so I don’t like summer.

But I love water sports, such as wake board, windsurfing and others. Generally I go to 가평 for wake board about twice in summer. And sometime I go to beach and waterpark. These places are very joyful and have good sceneries. So although it is very hot and humid, sometimes I like summer.

 

9. Please describe where you live.

I live on 10^th floor of an apartment at Eunpyung with my family.

There are so many other apartments and comfortable stores. And there is a Bukhan Mt, whose scenery that I can see at my balcony is very beautiful.

And my neighbors are very kind and friendly. So I like my town.

My house consists of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

And my room is decorated with some furniture such as a closet, bookshelf, desk, and comfortable bed.

My favorite is my room. Because it is feel comfortable and I can see Bukhan Mt’s beautiful scenery.

So I like my place.

 

Housing

1. What kind of problem does your country have about the real estate market? Please give me a detailed description of the problem.

The biggest problem in Korea’s real estimate market is the high price of housing.

Especially, the house price, in Seoul, is too expensive, so general worker can’t buy own house with a normal salary. So almost of all workers borrow money from bank to buy house, but it raises bubble of housing price. Moreover, if the bubble is broken, they, who have house, become loss their lots of money. It is also additional problem. So therefore, the government always keeps its eyes on the housing market.

 

2. Is there a government agency which can handle the problems in the real estate market? If so, what activities does the agency usually do? Please tell me about the agency with many details.

Actually, I don’t know about this topic well.

I know that the Bank of Korea handles the problem in real estimate market, because the Bank of Korea generally issue money, by doing this, they can mange economical problems. And then I think that they can also handle housing problem. And I know issuing currency is related to real estate market. So in conclusion, even though I don’t exactly know how they handle it, I think that the Bank of Korea can handle the problem in real estate market, thereby controlling the currency.

 

3. How have the house or housing in your country changed over the last 10 years? Tell me all about the changes in the houses or housing you know in as much detail as you can.

Actually, I don’t know exactly how have the house changed for 10 years. So I explain changing of house seen from my experience. Since I born, I had lived in a detached house until I was 21 years old. And since then, I have lived in an apartment. During living detached house, around my house, there are other detached houses I think that at that time High apartment building is only located in center of Seoul. But nowadays almost all of the detached houses have changed apartment builds. During childhood, I don’t like apartment because it is desolate for me. At that time, the apartment complex is very not eco-friendly, there were only apartment buildings and cement floors. But nowadays, around my apartment, there are so many trees and flowers throughout the complex. And during childhood, we usually use oil as fuel, but nowadays all of apartments use gas as fuel, I think that it is more eco-friendly than oil. So now, I still like a detached house but I also like apartment building.

 

Technology

1. You indicated in the survey that you are student. What technologies do you frequently use these days? How do you use them?

The technology I most often use as a student is the Smartphone.

I think Smartphone is very useful and helpful. It makes my life convenient. No matter where I am, I can search for some documents related to my major, and surf the internet, listen to music and play games. At school, when I go to cafeteria for lunch, I can check today menu. And when I go to library, I can check available seats. And generally when I enter the library I use mobile student ID through Smartphone. Now, Smartphone account for a lot of part of my life. So now, I cannot imagine my life without the Smartphone.

 

2. There have been a lot of changes in the technology that we use at school. What changes have been made from the past to the present? Please give me a detailed description of them.

The technological improvements at my school have been astonishing. First, Many doors have been replaced with automatic ones. And when professors give a lecture, before almost professors used black board, but nowadays they generally use beam projector. And library system is very convenient. Before, if students wanted to find some books, they should find it in person. But now, they can find it through the internet.

And Doors at dormitories are operated by card key that also serve as student IDs and in-campus credit cards. These changes make us convenient. So I love advanced technology.

 

3. I’d like to give you a situation and ask you to act it out. You moved to a new apartment and want to get internet service. Call the internet service provider and ask three or four questions to find out the information you need.

Hello. Is there pagoda internet service center? I’m calling to install the internet service at my house. So I have some questions.

First, How much does your internet service cost? Should I additionally pay for installation fee?

And I can’t stay at home from the day after tomorrow for a week. So I want to make an appointment tomorrow to set up the internet service. Is it available? If not, When would you come?

Could you give me some free gift? I heard that your company gives customer free gift such as bike or some others. And Can I get some discounts?

 

4. I’m sorry. There’s a problem that you need to resolve. You arranged for the internet to be installed this week, but realize that you will not be home for the appointment. Call the internet service provider and schedule another time.

Hello, this is Bumsoo. I’m calling to reschedule my appointment.

As you know, my appointment is today 4pm. But I can’t stay at home at that time, because I have to go to urgent meeting at my company. So I want to reschedule. If you can, I want to make an appointment tomorrow at the same time. But If not, when would you come? Unfortunately, I don’t have time next week, so I want to make an appointment in this week. I’m sorry that I suddenly change my appointment. Anyway, please call me back as soon as possible.

 

5. I’d like to know about some technology issue. Are there any technology issues that have been discussed among your classmates and friends? What issues are they? Please tell me all about them in as much detail as possible.

I’m a student of science, Chemistry to be exact. In my field, the hot issue is Graphene. At two years ago, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov’s “bi-layer graphene” paper wins a Novel’s Prize in Physics field. They find method that Multilayer graphene divided into one or two layer graphene. After that, Graphen raises as hot issue in chemistry as well as other fields.

Graphene consists of only carbon, and it is very thin carbon layer.

And its characteristic is high conductivity and more strong than iron and other useful things.

Graphene can applied to so various industries such as electronics and chemical engineering and other fields.

So I think that graphene has become a major part of our industry.

 

Project

1. You indicated in the survey that you are a student. What kind of project are you conducting? Please tell me about the project you are working on.

I’m conducting a project on “Making WIFI-BT dual band RF FEM”

This Project is related to one of majors, Semiconductor. I do double major in Chemistry and Semiconductor. It is a group project and there are 5 members in my team.

This project is about WIFI and BT chip. Now, we generally use WIFI and BT chip separately, but nowadays, people want smaller and higher performance chip. So we plan to make one chip combined WIFI and BT. After we get a simulation data for FEM, we will make a module in person. I hope that result comes out right, because this project is important to me.

 

2. What project did you first complete? Was it successful? Did you have trouble completing it? Tell me about your first project in detail.

My first project was Self-introduction Video. This project was not related to my major, because this class was cultural subject that was about mass media and image-culture. It was an individual project so I had to do it by myself. I didn’t make a video before then, so it is hard for me to squeeze an idea make a video. Finally, I made a self-introduction video by Vegas program using ADIDAS CF by Messi, and various music videos that I liked. Other students respond to my video was not bad. It was very helpful experience for me.

 

3. Let’s talk about the most memorable project you have completed. What kind of project was it? With whom did you conduct that project? Why was it so memorable for you? Tell me all about it in detail.

The most memorable project I have completed is “How to minimize to Wire Sweep”

It was a group project and there were 4 members in my team.

This project was about Wire Sweep in semiconductor packaging. During injecting the molding compound into cavity, how can we reduce wire sweep. There were a lot of methods that can reduce wire sweep, finally we focused on molding compound. Because molding compound’s viscosity was important parameter to wire sweep, so we chose it. But it was very hard for us to select one process, because all of methods were attractive. And we had to make a presentation in English, It was the most difficult thin. Finally all members did their best and were satisfied with our achievement.

I like listening to all kinds of music, but I like rock music best. Rock music has a wide variety of genres, from easy listening to modern rock to heavy metal. My favorite is British rock music. Typical British rock musician is Radiohead, Coldplay, U2 and others. This genre’s music is dreamlike and a little gloomy but sometimes has fast tempo. I listen to different types of songs depending on my mood. When I feel down, I prefer to listen to loud and fast tempo music such as heavy metal and Hip Hop, because it puts me in a better mood. On the other hand, slow and soft music such as modern rock and Jazz, help me calm down when I feel sad.

 

2. When and where do you usually listen to music? How do you listen to music?

I usually listen to music while I am on bus or subway. Normally, I listen to music on the computer while I am at home, but while I am out I download music files to my Smartphone and listen to them through my earphones. When I’m alone, I listen to music anytime anywhere, except working or studying time. Music is vital in my life.

I used to like ballad music during my childhood, because in the nineties, ballad music was popular in Korea. My favorite singers were 임창정, 신승훈. They were typical ballad musician at that time. Since growing up, I still enjoy listening to ballad music, but I like rock music and Hip Hop music the best. In my schooldays, I spent a stormy period with Hip Hop music, so I began to like hip hop music at that time. In regard to rock music, after visiting some live band concerts, I cannot help but keep listening to rock music.

My favorite singer is Achtung. Achtung is Korean indi band. They consist of drum, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar. They make an acoustic sound I like. Vocal’s voice is very unique. And their music is fantastic. But they are not so famous, as far as I know, they usually scrape a living. So sometimes I promote their album through internet. And I buy their all album unconditionally. And I have to go their concert. I think that they are very fantastic band.

 

5. How do you usually listen to music? Do you listen to music with an MP3 player or a CD player? What else and why?

I usually download music files to my Smartphone and listen to them through my earphone. Before I buy Smartphone, I used to listen to music by MP3 player, but nowadays Smartphone is very useful to listen to music, and it is so inconvenient for me to take two equipments. So I prefer Smartphone to MP3 player.

 

6. How did you first become interested in music? What kind of music was it? Who were the singer and composer?

My parents like to listen to music, so music always played in house during my childhood. My mom especially liked old pop. So that kind of music naturally became one of my favorite kinds of music at that time. I remember that I heard music at that time; they are Eagles’ Hotel California, Louis Armstrong’s What a wonderful world, Carry & Ron’s I.O.U and others.

Carry & Ron’s I.O.U is my favorite song at that time, it is still good to listen until now.

기억에 남는 계절?

The most terrible memory in winter happened a couple of years ago, when I was a soldier in army, it was snowed the heaviest for more than a century. The military bases shall always remain in battle capable condition, because Korean technically still at war. So I had to shovel and sweep away the snow. But the snow was endlessly falling down from the sky. At that time, the snow looked like trash. The scene is still lingering in my eyes to this today.

Besides, at that winter, Korean weather liked to Siberian’s, because Siberian’s chilly air came to Korea. So at that time, the lowest degree in Korea was minus 30 degree Celsius. So I don’t forget this air. It is extremely cold.

 

공휴일 소개

The most typical Korean holidays are 추석 and 설날. These holidays are traditional. And Independence Day and Memorial Day are historical holiday. Except 추석, 설날, almost all of the people usually watch a commemorative event on TV in the morning. After then, they usually spend time with family. Some people go on a trip, and others go to family restaurant and other activities.

On the other hand, at 추석 and 설날, people go back to their hometowns to pay a visit to their ancestors’ graves as well as to visit their families.

Among Korean holidays, I like 추석 the best, because 추석 is in fall, so there are so many delicious fruits such as apples, Asian pears, persimmons, and I can meet kith and kin. So I like it.
