Reflection Task 2a
Korean Culture and Its Impact on Our
Country
Today,
I want to talk about a topic that is acquaintance to me. It's because I know
how people in our country-especially,young girls- enjoy watching Korean
TV-series. I chosed this topic because I also love watching their TV series and
I listen to their songs. Moreover, I also like the way they
cook. I really wonder about their food. One
day, I want to go there and taste them. So, I'll talk about both it's impact on
me and our society.
People
in our country are really getting interested in Korean culture. There are many
special sites on the Internet about Korean TV- series, foods and even their
celebrities. Via these
special sites, they can get more information about them. By watching
their TV-series, they get information about their living style, their cuisine and
their music style.
Firstly, I think it is nice to get
acquaintance with an another culture. I think that it helps people
to see the world from a different aspect. People can understand
people different from themselves more easily. Moreover, on the other hand, some
people can go to extremes about this situation. There are even
some young girls who go to Korea, I mean - while saying going- escaping.
Generally, their goals are not to get a job or to get an education.I mean that
their goals are not beneficial ones. They go there because they like Korean boys. They see and watch them in
TV-series, and then, they want to see them, they want to live
there. According to
me, these reasons to go
there are not logical and there
are trouble-giving results.
They can go through many
difficulties while trying to live there.
Secondly, people in our country, even want to
eat rice with chopsticks. In a site which I use to watch their TV-series and
where I am a translater ,also , there are some advertisements about selling
chopsticks. It means that there are some people wanting to use them like Korean
people.
Thirdly, there are also many sites about
their cuisine. They show many recipes of Korean foods. One day, I remember that
I also looked for a site like those to make ramen.
On the other hand, there are also many people
who don't like Korean and Korean TV-series. They see Korean people so cold and
unlovable. According to them, their cultural elements are not really nice.
However, these ideas are really contrast to mine. I think they are cute and
lovable.
To sum up, according to me, although there
are some bad impacts of Korean culture's spreading in our country , in general,
it's nice to get acquaintance with a different culture. Moreover, I think there
are more people liking the Korean than the ones who don't like.
So, that's it. Thanks a lot for your patience. :))
Dear Esma,
YanıtlaSilWhen I read your reflection, I realized that your reflection evoked curiosity about Koreans for me although I am not interested in Koreans. As you wrote in your reflection, there are many fans of Koreans, especially girls, in Turkey, However, I have not heard that some girls escape to Korea before. I really surprised when I read this. I agree with you as girls' escaping to Korea is really illogical. They go to Korea without thinking how they live there. Morever, I want to point out somewhere in your reflection. You mentioned Korean's food culture and "ramen". I doubt I ate Ramen before. My roomate suggested ramen and we tried to cook ready ramen. We liked ramen very much. After our first experience, we even ate ramen a few more times, but I don't know it was a real ramen which Koreans eat. If you know something about ready ramens, can you let me know about this. As to your reflection's content and organization, I liked your reflection in terms of both organization and content. I also did not realize any grammatical mistake in your reflection.
Your topic choice and explanations about this topic are really good. Thank you for your successful reflection. :))
My dear friend,
YanıtlaSilFirst of all, I am reaaly happy and grateful about your nice comments. Thanks a lot for your interest and patience. Secondly, about ready ramen, i can say that those in our country i think are not fully same as the ones in Korean. Actually, ready ramens are not original ramen, I suppose,but there are a lot of sites that have nice recipes of ramen. Maybe you can try one of them like me. Enjoy your ramen, from now.:)))
Thank you for your reply to my question :))
