Seon

= Seon= **Hello, guys at SBIT !**  If you see me on this page afterwards, just call me SONO which is the similar pronunciation to Korean. It is my pleasure to introduce myself to you. 70 days have passed since I came to Australia. On the way to Brisbane, I imagined what to live in Australia would be like and made a firm resolution in my mind. This is Lee, Seonho from Korea. I am here to learn English at SBIT. I was born in Seoul where is the capital and largest city of South Korea. With over ten million people, Seoul is one of the world’s largest cities. The Seoul National Capital Area, which includes the major port city of Incheon and satellite towns in Gyeonggi-do, has almost 23 million inhabitants and is the world’s second largest metropolitan area. As a major world economic and cultural centre, Seoul is considered a global city. The city has hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics and the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Seoul is consistently placed among the world’s top ten financial and commercial cities. The reason why I am here at SBIT is to be a good speaker in English above all. Even though I have learnt English for above 10 years, I am not good at English. It is mainly caused by my laziness for learning English and problems in Korean English Education System. We, Koreans, have studied English, not for speaking, but for taking examinations. So have I. I usually got good scores when I took English exams. Until I am content with my English skill, I won’t have been looking for any jobs. In my plans, I am taking English courses until next year and then I am doing a Building & Construction course. To learn English in an occupational course is, I think, better than in English courses in that I can also learn what I need to live in Australia and English at once. Moreover I have already majored in it at university and have worked in construction for so many years. It will not be difficult to me. A week has passed since I started an English course at SBIT. I am sure that my English skill will be getting better if I do as Mary teaches. She instructed that we write a journal and read a book every day. I think it is not easy but very effective way to learn English. I like the teaching method of Mary.
