Just... the train does not go to London directly. (Take the replacement bus from Oxford station and you can take the train at Didcot Parkway station to Reading or London // Detail info http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/)

Relative News

Pakistan militant cleric killed [BBC NEWS]

Pakistan's Red Mosque leader killed [Aljazeera English]

(Add) I talked with my roommates who comes from Pakistan. They think it is very shameful situation and do not believe students who are in Red mosque are relative with Terror Group such as Taliban.

Today is 7, July.

Yesterday, I just thought 'Live Earth' Concert.

Yes.. It's very amazing concert.

Lots of musician sing for a serious problem, 'Global Warming'.

Also, I am watching South Africa concert live streaming now.

Anyway, today is one of the sad historical day in the UK.

About two years ago, some of London transports were attracted by bomb.

It didn't pass 24 hours when London hold 2012 Olympic.

(Relative site : In Depth London Attacks [BBC NEWS])

After two years, most of people look like to forget this incident.

Okay... After two year, which newses are listed on BBC news web site?

We have enjoyed the 'Live Earth' Concert and thought 'Climate change' with lots of people. Good.

Also, BBC Gaza correspond, Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by an armed group in Gaza, returned to his house. Good.

Wow.. After two years, our world finds the peace finally, doesn't it?

Hang on minute! What's the headline? 'Iraq market truck bomb kills 105'

Oh my dear... After two years, we see the massacre again?

Why am I in England.

OK... I want to discuss about this news article with you.
Please read this article before when you read this post.

English Is The Golden Tongue for S. Koreans
SEOUL -- Just a week into his summer vacation, 15-year-old Min-Kyu Kim
already has a tight schedule and ambitious goals: On this particular day, he
intends to memorize 600 words of English vocabulary, solve 10 pages of SSAT math
problems and take practice tests for English. He estimates the tests... more – by Joohee Cho

From Washingtonpost.com (The Washington Post)

1, I met my Korean friend on an Instant Messenger.
Friend: "I do not understand why people study at oversea country"
Me: "Why?"
Friend: "Because I think if someone study more incentive, it's enough in my country"
I did not answer that because I agree with him.


2, Some months ago, my sister couple traveled some European countries and I traveled France and Italy with them.
The one thing that I surprised to them was they communicated better than me in there. Of course, they speak a bit of English and don't speak other languages.
My sister husband said "Simply the best"

3, I serious consider to attend Pre-sessional course from 23rd, July at Oxford Brookes University.
The problem is money. The course fee and housing fee are quiet expensive for me. (About... more than £2500 together)
If I got IELTS overall 6 (with Reading and Writing over 6), I do not need to attend that course. But...

How much have I spended money and time for learning English?
And, how much improve my English?
Why do I learn English in the UK where has lots of incidents?

The answer is Oh My GOD...

(P.S.) I want to share another news article form South Korea. This news article is about a man who has been rejected his UK student visa from embassy of United Kingdom in South Korea. This article is written by Korean and I show the article is translated to English by Google Translate tool.

Bloody IELTS finished.

However... I should drink alone.
Because everyone are busy.

Game Over. Insert the coin. (after IELTS Speaking)

Already... I am hopeless after morning task.

And now, i have just finished my Speaking task.

Part 1. I had a quesition my city (Where I was born) and rain.
Part 2. About the cloth which I recently bought.
Part 3. These questions about Fashion (80%) and Shopping(20%).

Firstly, I failed to control my voice speed. I spoke generally when I speak with my friends.
(many people think it is not a problem but it is my serious weakness)

Secondly, I did not checked my pronouncations. Really, I spoke some wrong pronouncation.

Thirdly, Lots of times, I felt a panic so I did not answered well.

OK... Perfectly... I have taken very very disapointed exam.
How do I do? Yes... it's time for drinking.

New Half Band Scores

From 1 July 2007, we’re making a small but important change which will make
IELTS Band Scores more informative. Scores for each part of the test will still
be reported on the scale from 1 to 9, but now the Writing and Speaking modules
will be reported in whole or half-band in the same way as the Reading and
Listening modules.This will allow Recognising Institutions to specify their
requirements in more detail. > More

The Screen shot about Emily profile from BB official site (Channel4)

Do you remember last Celebrity Big Brother 2007?
Maybe... lots of people think this big brother is the worst of every big brother serises.

Photo from Wikipedia

Jo O'Meara, Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody said RACISM comment and did bullying to Shilpa Shetty.

Their behaviour was international current affair and Channel4 and Ofcom recieved lots of complains. (It was the historical complains record of Ofcom)

Anyway... New Big Brother 8 kicked off again about a weeks ago and today Channel4 and Brighter Pictures (a part of Endemol UK) announced very serious statment.

Emily, who was nominated this friday eviction, suddenly left the house.

"Housemates. On the day that you entered the Big
Brother house, all housemates were reminded of the Big Brother rules. Emily has
broken a fundamental rule of Big Brother and has been removed from the Big
Brother House. The rules regarding unacceptable behaviour clearly state that:
'Big Brother will intervene and take appropriate action if housemates behave in
a way that Big Brother considers is unacceptable. Unacceptable behaviour
includes: Behaving in a way that could cause serious offence to either their
fellow housemates or members of the viewing public including serious offence
based on the grounds of race.' The rules clearly state that: 'Housemates who act
in a way that is seriously unacceptable will be evicted.' Tomorrow's eviction
has been cancelled. Big Brother."

From Channel4 Big Brother Official page

What did Emily do? Accroding to Channel4's statment.

Emily was with Charley and Nicky in the garden of the Big Brother House at
approximately 8.30pm last night when she was heard to say "Are you
pushing it out you nigger?" to Charley.

Fortunately, this chatting did not broadcast on E4 live streaming.

However same accident happened again. Just after 9 days.
