At  an  outdoor  restaurant    near  a  mountain  temple  in  Korea    two  friends  and  I  sat  cross-­‐legged—

protected  from  July  heat  by  pines  and  a  cold  running  brook.From  the  corner  of  my  eye

an  enormous  black  butterXlywinged  through  the  shadowsof  rocks  then  disappeared.  Later  it  jolted  again  into  sight—closer,  like  a  bat  in  daylightor  a  small  bird  pantomiming  to  charm  the  mountain  spirits.Did  you  see  that?  but  my  friends  had  notso  engrossed  with  the  soybean  pancakes

and  rice  wine.  Now  I  was  vigil—wanting  a  witness,but  I  had  only  one  more  glance

as  we  walked  down  the  mountain,a  soaring  reXlection  dabbledon  the  brook’s  glass  surface

like  a  dark  winged  phantom.That  night  in  a  dream,  mountainspirits  summoned  me  to  the  temple.

The  head  monk  served  barley  tea  and  said  the  temple  had  been  his  homesince  the  Shilla  Dynasty.

TABLE OF CONTENTS INSIDER SECOND VOLUME

As  winter  approached,  the  temperature  dropped,  and  students  suffered  from  fever,  cold,  and  throat-­‐spearing  coughs.  They  all  wondered:  Are  there  any  simple  ways  to  end  the  pain?

There  are  four  simple  ways  to  maintain  health  in  the  winter  season:  eating  breakfast,  keeping  a  balanced  diet,  exercising,  and  resting.  Health  ofXicials  proclaim  that  the  main  reason  people  get  sick  is  because  they  do  not  follow  these  simple  guidelines

Most  students,  however,  tend  to  skip  breakfast  because  they  are  rushing  to  get  to  school.  They  start  the  day  lacking  in  nutrients  and  brain  fuel.  Many  students  also  forget  the  need  for  exercise,  so  their  immune  system  wanes  from  sitting  all  day  in  desks  and  in  front  of  the  computer.  Finally,  even  though  students  feel  worn  out,  they  continue  to  dig  through  books  and  papers  and  ignore  their  fatigue.  They  have  a  mountain  of  homework  to  complete,  so  they  deprive  themselves  of  sleep  and  rest.

So,  how  you  change  these  unhealthy  habits?  Make  a  food  diary  and  keep  track  of  what  you  consume  at  every  meal.  This  will  you  see  what  nutrients  are  missing  in  your  diet.  and  go  outside,  enjoy  the  fresh  air,  and  jog  for  an  hour.  Don’t  stay  up  all  night  with  your  eyes  glued  to  the  computer,  but  go  to  bed.  Make  this  your  routine  and  catching  a  cold  will  not  be  your  concern.

Only  the  Snowman  KnowsBy  Feekeun  Jung

In  the  cold  and  silent  winter  night  I’m  sitting  on  the  couch  waiting  for  a  bus

But  only  the  snowman  knowsIt  is  a  cold  winter  dayI’m  sitting  on  the  couch

And  still…still  I’m  waiting  for  a  busBut  only  the  snowman  knows

How  much  time  did  I  spend  there?Maybe  an  hour?  Maybe  two?  I  don’t  know.

By  the  time  of  the  Birst  snowfallWhen  the  snowman  came

A  white  rectangular  crystal  bus  comesNow  I  am  riding  a  precious  stone  

With  my  white  hair

How  To  Stay  Healthy

Our  beloved  counselor  Mr.  Rogers  left  after  Xive  and  a  half  years  of  service  at  IIS.

He  was  generous  and  helpful,  and  he  guided  hundred  of  students  to  discovering  their  future.  At  times  he  was  Xirm  with  students  when  they  disrespected  teachers  or  slacked  off,  but  only  because  he  knew  it  would  help  them  be  more  successful.

We  wish  him  the  best  at  his  new  job,  and  we  thank  him  for  all  of  his  help.

Farewell,  Mr.  Rogers!

The  sky  was  gray  and  the  trees  were                              wavering.  I  was  standing  at  the  foot  of  the  big  gate    of  Bran  Castle,  a.k.a.  Dracula’s  Castle,  anticipating  a    ghastly  apparition  to  jump  at  my  face.  The  mufXled    sound  of  a  distant  bell  echoed  in  the  cold  air.  Ding!    Ding!  Ding!  As  the  door  slowly  creaked,  fear                                    encroached  on  me  and  my  heart  began  to  palpitate  in  excitement.  Ahhh!  I  bumped  into  an  ebony  Xigure  that  stood  still  and  silent.  @#$%Dracula!  But  I                      soon  retained  my  composure  and  discovered  that        it  was  a  tall  man  in  a  black  suit;  just  another                                  excited  tourist  waiting  in  line  to  venture  into  the              daunting  castle.  His  fear-­‐struck  face  Xlashed  past                my  eyes  and  I  couldn’t  belie  my  laugh.  I  entered                  the  castle.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Transylvania,  Romania  is  the  hometown  of      Dracula.  Transylvania  prides  its  copious  collection          of  medieval  heritage,  especially  castles  and                                    fortresses  that  exhibit  a  unique  architectural                            design.  Out  of  180  castles,  Bran  Castle  best  depicts          the  contentious  history  of  the  country.  A  glass  of                scarlet  blood,  a  pair  of  gimlet-­‐like  teeth,  and  a  dark    ebony  drape  wrapping  the  pale  and  cold  pelt…  is                what  most  people  envision  when  they  hear                                      Romania.  But  instead,  I  saw  timbered                                                            furniture  and  fancy  iron  plates  festooning  the  wall    of  the  vacant  hallway.  I  have  to  admit  that  at  Xirst,  I    was  disappointed  by  the  dim  hallway  marked  with    emptiness,  but  my  interest  soon  redeemed.  I                                  slowly  walked  up  the  spiral  staircase  with  my                              camera  glued  to  my  face,  Xlashing  madly  like  a                          meteor  striking  across  the  dark  sky.  My  attempt  to    capture  a  psychic  photo  unfortunately  failed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               The  second  Xloor        was  mind-­‐boggling.  The                threshold  was  guarded  by  two  hallow  armors                  that  glistened  under  the          dim  chandelier  light.                      Rows  of  guns,  shelves  of            fancy  swords,  and  menacing  crossbows  were                          pointed  towards  me.  The  room  embodied  the                            bloody  days  of  violent  battles;  history  was    alive.  I        carried  my  effervescence  to  Dracula’s    dormitory.        The  candle-­‐lit  room  was  well-­‐  furnaced    with                              luxurious  tapestries  and  wooden  tables.    But                              I  had  to  gape  when  my  eyes  met  the  sharp,  yellow      eyes  of  a  grizzly  bear….  A  taxidermy  bear  that  lied      

prostrate  on  the  mahogany  Xloor  with  its  marble                  eyes  glowering  at  the  ceiling.  It  had    a  back  that                          resembled  an  untended  wheat  Xield  blowing  to  and    fro  in  the  cold  winter  breeze.  What  a  lovely  carpet.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 No  blood.  No  horror.  No  waxed-­‐up  hair.  In          lieu,  I  was  greeted  by  the  cozy  rooms,  the  unique                architecture,  the  medieval  weapons,  and  the                                                                                                        b                                                                    beautiful  tapestries.  My                                            a                                                                      anticipations  of  horror                                                    w                                                                  were  the  products  of  the                                        m                                                                  misconceptions  created                                              b                                                                    by  the  movie,  book,  and                                    stereotype.  However,  these  misconceptions  have                  brought  thousands  of  tourists  to  visit  Romania                        every  year.  As  these  thoughts  roamed  in  my  head,  I      slowly  walked  up  the  stairs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           The  shrill  wind  began  to  pound  on  the                                    fragile  casement  while  the  white  pine  branches                              scratched  with  its  jagged  claws.  The  sweet  smell  of            burning  wood  tantalized  my  nose  as  I  neared  the              roof  of  the  castle.  I  clicked  open  the  heavy  door                        and  pulled  my  body  out  into  the  cold.  Once  again,  I      heard  the  resonant  rings  of  the  bell  fading  into  the        gray  sky.

  On  the  day  of  the  tournament,  the  Wolverines  met  at  Yongsan  International  School  of  Seoul  at  7:45  a.m.  Although  the  players  were  nervous  and  tired,  they  concentrated  on  their  uniXied  goal  to  win.  The  fervent  players  gathered  in  the  corner  of  the  court  to  brieXly  review  their  strategy  before  competing  against  the  International  Christian  School  of  Pyeongtaek.  The  players  began  chanting,  “Woo!  Woo!  Woo!  Woo!”  The  powerful  cheering  grew  louder  and  louder,  and  everyone  was  ready  to  destroy.

 The  players  warmed  up,  cracked  their  knuckles,  and  glowered  at  the  opposing  team.  Joseph  Jung,  the  captain,  met  with  the  ref  to  decide  the  Xirst  team  to  serve.  Luckily,  IIS  got  the  Xirst  serve.  Martin  Jang  served  the  ball,  but  it  was  returned  with  a  strong  spike  by  the  opponent.  Tom  Seo  received  the  plummeting  ball,  Rae-­‐oh  Choi  set  it,  and  Joseph  Jung  jumped  high  in  the  air  and  spiked  it,  which  bulleted  through  the  opponent’s  court  in  a  blink  of  an  eye.  Nervous,  but  with  conXidence,  the  Wolverines  tried  to  consummate  every  single  move.  At  this  pace,  the  players  believed  victory  was  theirs.  

At  that  point  the  Wolverines  were  favored  to  win,  but  the  opponents  decided  to  change  their  strategy.  The  players  from  ICS  PTK  started  to  deter  the  spikes  with  double  and  triple  blocks.  All  of  a  sudden,  the  spirit  of  the  Wolverines  diminished.  The  rest  of  the  game  was  the  battle  for  the  lead,  but  eventually  the  Wolverines  lost  14:16.

The Last Spike By Jeffrey Thompson

The  IIS  basketball  season  began  with  an  intense  match  against  Korea  Kent  Foreign  School.  The  Wolverines  led  the  game  with  the  1-­‐3-­‐1  defense,  trapping  the  KKFS  players  from  scoring.  The  team  played  with  great  fervor,  and  by  the  end  of  third  quarter,  the  IIS  Wolverines  led  by  Xive  points.  However,  the  Wolverines  crashed  in  the  fourth.

The  KKFS  players  altered  their  strategy  in  the  fourth  quarter.  By  playing  strong  on  defense,  they  did  not  allow  the  Wolverines  to  score  for  three  minutes.  Yet,  the  Wolverines  competed  Xiercely  and  the  score  went  up  to  26:  25  (Scorpions  up  by  one)  with  only  two  minutes  remaining.  Just  when  there  was  a  minute  and  a  half  left,  the  Wolverines  made  a  lucky  shot.  The  IIS  players  were  excited  and  they  all  believed  that  victory  was  theirs.    

After  the  third  quarter,  the  Wolverines  were  certain  that  we  would  win.  They  were  ahead  by  one  point  and  the  clock  was  ticking  fast.  However,  we  were  wrong.  The  KKFS  boys  were  stronger,  faster,  and  

more  desperate  to  win  than  the  Wolverines.  The  point  guard  from  KKFS  attacked  the  basket  and  made  two  free  throws.  Right  after,  the  point  guard  stole  the  ball  when  Captain  Watanabe  put  the  ball  in  from  the  base  line,  the  Scorpions  scored  again.  They  were  winning  by  32:  27.  30  seconds  remained  and  Captain  Watanabe  raged  to  their  half  of  the  court  and  scored  a  3  pointer.  However,  there  was  not  enough  time  left.  The  KKFS  Scorpions  won  32:  30.   The  IIS  players  learned  their  lesson  from  this  game.  They  learned  the  importance  of  concentrating  throughout  the  entire  game  and  Xinishing  strong  at  the  end.  Also,  they  swore  to  win  their  next  game  no  matter  what.  Go  Wolverines!

Shaun  White,  a.k.a  the  Flying  Tomato  because  of  his  red  curly  hair,  is  a  young  and  renowned  athlete  who  was  born  unhealthy,  as  he  had  to  have  two  heart  surgeries  when  he  was  a  baby.  This  fact  amazes  people  because  he  has  become  such  a  sensation  in  the  skateboarding  and  snowboarding  arenas  despite  the  physical  setbacks.    

Shaun  White  may  not  have  been  the  best  candidate  for  playing  sports,  but  he  practiced  hard  to  become  one  of  the  best.  He  started  to  snowboard  when  he  was  six  years  old,  and  earned  his  Birst  sponsorship  at  his  age  of  seven.  Tony  Hawk,  the  best  skateboarder  at  the  time,  was  captivated  by  his  talent  and  decided  to  mentor  him  in  a  skateboard  park  in  San  Diego,  California.

At  the  age  of  seventeen,  Shaun  White  began  to  win  small  titles  as  a  professional  skateboarder  and  build  his  reputation.  He  was  a  champion  at  the  Action  Sports  Tour  and  became  the  Birst  person  to  win  both  the  Winter  and  Summer  X  Games,  which  are  extreme  sports  that  include  skateboarding,  BMX  racing,  inline  skating,  and  snowboarding.  Shaun  White  has  earned  medals  every  year  from  the  Winter  X  Games  since  2002.  

In  the  2006  and  the  2010  Winter  Olympics,  he  earned  26  gold  medals,  solidifying  his  title  as  one  of  the  best  snowboarders  in  the  world,  and  this  year  he  won  ESPN's  Best  Male  Action  Sports  Athlete  ESPY  award  for  the  fourth  year  in  a  row.  He  has  also  recently  been  featured  in  various  Hollywood  Bilms  and  released  his  own  sunglass  collection  through  Oakley.    It  is  clear  his  journey  as  an  athlete  and  entrepreneur  has  only  just  begun.

  The  Most  Valuable  Players  are  not  necessarily  the  ones  who  receive  all  the  spotlight.  For  the  Miami  Heat,  the  former  second  place  team  in  the  NBA  Championships,  Lebron  James  is  not  the  MVP.  The  Heat’s  MVP  is  Dwayne  Wade  (a.k.a.  Flash),  a  quiet  and  unnoticeable  hero  of  the  team.  Although  Lebron  James  is  issued  for  every  game,  Dwayne  Wade  is  the  one  who  brings  victories  for  the  Miami  Heat,  and  he  has  worked  hard  to  get  to  where  he  is.

  Dwayne  Wade  was  born  on  January  17,  1982  in  Chicago,  Illinois.  He  liked  to  play  sports,  especially  football  and  basketball,  but  he  never  planned  on  becoming  a  professional  athlete  for  either  sport.  However,  with  his  father  being  a  coach  of  a  youth  basketball  team  at  Blue  Island  Recreational  Center,  Dwayne  Wade  and  his  brother,  Demetrius,  had  the  opportunity  to  polish  their  basketball  skills  at  an  early  age.  After  discovering  his  outstanding  talent  and  skills,  Dwayne  Wade  decided  to  become  a  professional  basketball  player.

  Dwayne  Wade  was  academically  successful  in  high  school,  but  his  talents  in  education  did  not  reBlect  on  his  ACT  score.  Although  Dwayne  Wade  received  private  tutoring  lessons  from  his  high  school  teachers  to  improve  his  score,  he  ended  up  scoring  one  point  less  than  what  he  needed  to  enter  his  dream  college.  With  Siohvaughn’s  counseling,  his  current  wife,  Wade  chose  to  enter  Marquette  College  to  qualify  in  the  National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association  (NCAA).  During  his  freshman  year,  Wade  could  not  play  in  the  actual  conference  games  due  to  his  grades,  but  starting  from  his  sophomore  year,  he  became  the  star  of  the  team.  For  his  consistent,  marvelous  performance,  he  was  drafted  to  the  Miami  Heat  for  the  5th  pick  overall.

  With  Shaquille  O'Neal,  Dwayne  Wade  won  the  2006  NBA  Championships  and  received  the  NBA  Finals  MVP  in  the  same  year.  Although  Wade  did  not  win  any  championship  games  afterwards,  he  remained  the  leader  of  the  team.  Now  with  Lebron  James  and  Chris  Bosh,  Dwayne  Wade  is  looking  forward  to  winning  another  NBA  Championships  for  the  Miami  Heat.    Despite  Lebron  James’  fame,  the  truth  is  that  Wade,  who  leads  the  team  to  victory,  is  the  actual  MVP.

Do  you  see  what  I  see?  Or  are  you  denying  reality?  You  are  probably  doing  the  latter.  In  fact,  more  than  half  of  the  journalism  team,  including  Ms.  England,  struggled  to  see  the  image  correctly.  Edward  H.  Adelson,  the  father  of  the  optical  illusion  pictured,  explains  the  reasons  rooted  behind  such  a  reaction.  

Adelson  describes  that  when  people  see  this  image,  their  brains  interpret  the  seemingly  real  image  incorrectly  as  a  real  object.  “It’s  a  fantastic  optical  illusion,  but  it’s  also  so  much  more;  it’s  a  great  scientiXic  parable  that  illustrates  key  attributes  of  the  way  we  think,”  he  says.  

 The  workings  of  the  human  mind,  he  explains,  happen  subconsciously  through  brain  Xiltering.  Therefore,  each  of  our  brains  has  a  different  way  of  perceiving  the  world.  Our  brains  may  perceive  the  world  disparately  from  what  it  really  looks  like.  This  process,  although  it  may  fool  our  brains  in  contrived  situations  like  this  one,  helps  build  a  model  of  the  world  around  us.    

This  characteristic  of  the  human  brain,  Adelson  believes,  has  developed  through  evolution.  During  humans’  evolutionary  process,  people  were  unlikely  to  see  two  dimensional  images  drawn  on  a  Xlat  surface.  For  this  reason,  when  people  interpret  three  dimensional  Xlat  images,  it  is  more  likely  that  they  analyze  not  with  a  neutral  point  of  view,  but  rather  connect  them  to  the  realistic  world,  with  which  they  are  more  comfortable.  

In  the  situation  above,  the  realistic  appearance  of  the  Xlat  image  tricks  our  brains  into  thinking  that  there  is  something  more  to  it,  rather  than  considering  it  as  a  simple  artiXicial  picture.  This  causes  our  brains  to  intuitively  make  an  adjustment  of  the  image  to  Xit  the  shadow  created  by  the  cylinder,  determining  that  checkerboard  A  and  B  have  distinct  colors.    

Although  people  are  more  likely  to  be  unaware  and  ignorant  of  such  illusionary  occurrences,  Adelson  says  that,  “if  we  put  our  minds  to  it,  if  we  carefully  reason  things  through,  we  are  able  to  consciously  transcend  our  intuitions  and  distinguish  the  illusory  from  the  truthful,  just  as  we  could  above.”   So,  can  you  see  it,  or  are  you  being  lazy?

The  AnswerHint:  If  you  still  can't  see  it,  cover  the  green  cylinder.

IQ TEST

Those  who  easily  solved  the  puzzle  would  be  wondering,  “I  solved  the  riddle  in  twenty  seconds!  So  I  can  matriculate  at  Seoul  University,  right?”  The  answer  for  that  question  is  yes  and  no.  

The  IQ  test  above  requires  two  major  components  of  intelligence:  acuity  and  quickness.  Acuity  refers  to  sharp  senses  in  discerning  critical  objects  or  subtle  changes  that  help  reveal  the  answer.  For  example,  the  object  in  the  robbers  pocket  changes  in  each  picture.  Also,  the  facial  expression  of  the  victim  develops  from  surprise  to  willingness,  and  eventually  to  unhappiness.  Quickness  simply  means  the  ability  to  process  in  your  brain.  The  faster  you  think  accurately,  the  higher  IQ  you  may  have.  

This  IQ  test  and  many  other  tests  of  the  like,  however,  are  missing  the  most  important  component  of  intelligence:  effort  and  perseverance.  Your  intelligence  can  always  develop  through  handwork  and  persistence.  So  even  if  you  Xind  yourself  disappointed  by  receiving  a  bad  result  from  the  test,  do  not  give  up.  Every  single  person  has  enormous  potential  to  become  a  genius.  

Evaluation:Less  than  20  seconds:  IQ  170Less  than  a  minute:  Average  Seoul  National  University  studentLess  than  two  minutes:  Somewhat  smartMore  than  two  minutes:  Normal  person

The  Answer:  3-­‐1-­‐5-­‐4-­‐23:  The  robber  asks  for  an  apple.  1:  The  robber  takes  an  apple  and  also  asks  for  money.  5:  The  robber  takes  the  money  away  from  the  person.  4:  The  robber  threatens  the  person  to  not  tell  anyone.  2:  the  robber  returns  the  apple  to  the  person  and  runs  away.

The  term  doppelgänger  actually  originated  in  German  folklore.  Meaning  “double  goer”  in  German,  it  is  based  on  a  belief  that  there  is  another  existence  of  oneself  in  a  form  of  a  ghost  or  a  spirit.  In  fact,  many  gothic  novelists  implied  the  concept  of  doppelgänger  in  their  writings.  One  example  is  Robert  Louis  Stevenson’s  "The  Strange  Case  of  Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde."  In  the  story,  the  protagonist  lives  a  dual  life.  Jekyll,  the  respected  doctor,  turns  into  the  deformed  and  immoral  Mr.  Hyde  at  night.  

These  days,  most  people  refer  to  doppelgängers  as  people  with  identical  physical  appearances.  It  may  be  fun  to  search  the  Internet  for  your  doppelgänger,  but  be  aware  of  the  real  doppelgänger.  According  to  lore,  if  you  see  your  real  doppelgänger  it  could  lead  to  bad  luck  or  even  to  a  miserable  death!

You  might  automatically  think  that  the  mighty  lion,  the  King  of  Jungle,  would  win  this  combat.  With  its  sharp  claws  for  assault,  tenacious  fangs  to  bite  the  opponents’  neck  and  suffocate  them  to  death,  manes  to  protect  their  necks,  and  exploding  speed  to  snatch  their  prays,  lions  are  undoubtedly  ferocious  predators.  The  result  of  the  battle,  however,  is  not  as  simple  as  you  think.  

Although  gorillas  are  herbivores,  they  have  developed  enormous  strength  to  protect  themselves  and  their  families  from  other  predators.  Silverback  gorillas,  especially  the  male  leaders  of  families,  are  large  and  powerful.  With  long  and  muscular  arms,  these  these  gorillas  can  lift  up  to  two  tons.  Also  they  possess  rigid  bones  that  protect  them  against  enemy  assaults  and  two-­‐inch  canine  teeth  for  great  biting  force.

So,  who  do  you  think  would  win?

It  was  Thanksgiving  and  my  teacher  asked  me  to  go  to  the  cafeteria  and  get  a  fork.  I  went  down  and  got  fork  and  then  I  looked  in  the  window.  Do  you  know  what  I  saw?

I  saw  Mr.  Mok  wave  his  hand  in  front  of  a  pot  and  mash  potatoes  appeared.  He  threw  the  plate  up  in  the  air  and  I  saw  cranberry  sauce.  He  put  his  hand  in  front  of  the  oven  and  a  turkey  arose.  He  waved  his  hand  in  circles  and  said,  “Gravy,  gravy,  gravy,  appear!”  I  noticed  gravy  in  the  bowl,  and  I  thought  this  guy’s  amazing!  He  punched  his  Xist  against  his  hand  and  stufXing  showed  up.  Next  he  kicked  his  hand  and  dinner  rolls  emerged  on  a  plate.  And  the  last  thing,  he  put  his  hand  in  a  bowl  and  a  pumpkin  pie  materialized.  Holy  smokes!    I  fell  backwards  on  to  the  ground  and  fainted.  

I  woke  up  and  Mr.  Mok  was  looking  at  me  on  the  Xloor.  He  said,  “Don’t  tell  everyone  my  power!”  I  nodded  my  head  and  bolted  back  to  the  classroom.

Dear  Joshua,

Hi   Joshua.  I  just  had  a  short   trip  to  Colonial  Williamsburg.  Colonial  Williamsburg  is  a  very  small  and  ordinary  town.   I  learned  a  lot  of  thing  about   Colonial  Williamsburg.   This   is  some  stuff  I  saw  and  learned  about  Colonial  Williamsburg.

I  liked  going  to  the  Raleigh  Tavern,   visiting  the  Governor’s  Palace,  and  going  to  the  Burton  Parish  Church.  I  liked  going  to   the   Raleigh   Tavern   because   I   learned   a   new   game,  chatted  with  my  new   friends,   and  ate  Shepherd’s  pie.   The  game  was   called  “The  Royall  &  Most  Pleasant  Game  of  the  Goose.”  You  should  try  out   the  game.   I  even  loved  visiting  the  Governor’s  Palace.  The  Governor  is  very  rich  and  very  important   in   the   town.   He   is   rich  because  he   lives   in   his  beautiful  house,   he  has   his  has  his   own  maid,   and  he  has  his   own   guard,   a   carriage,   and   a   driver.   He   is   very  important   because   he   makes   up   laws.   I   liked   the   Burton  Parish  Church  because  it  was  very  quiet.   I  even   learned  a  lot  of  information  about  God  from  the  minister.   I  even  saw  a  lot  of  announcements  on  the  church  walls.  I  even  learned  that  the  religion  was  very  important.  And  everyone  had  to  go  to  church.  I  really  loved  visiting  these  places.  

Life   in  Colonial  Williamsburg  and  now  is  very  different.  In  some  ways,   if  we  talk   in  the  college  of  Williams  and  Mary,  we  will  get  hit,  but  now  we  can’t.   In  Colonial  Williamsburg  there  are  slaves,  but  now  we  don’t.  Anyway  I  loved  the  trip  around  Colonial  Williamsburg!

  Today,  people  rely  heavily  on  public  transportations  to  go  to  work  and  school  since  it  is  fast  and  convenient.  But  what’s  more,  using  public  transportations  reduces  global  warming,  which  has  become  a  major  threat  to  the  environment  causing  catastrophes  around  the  world.  It  comprises  drastic  changes  in  the  global  temperature,  ice  caps  melting  in  the  polar  regions,  and  the  rise  of  sea  levels.  However,  we  can  all  make  a  difference  simply  by  using  public  transportations  because  it  helps  reduce  the  emission  of  carbon  dioxide  (CO2).

  Approximately  15%  of  manmade  carbon  dioxide  comes  from  transportation.  Thus,  one  of  the  most  vital  ways  to  resolve  global  warming  is  to  reduce  the  use  of  automobiles.  Many  countries  such  as  Germany  and  Switzerland  are  recommending  their  citizens  use  public  transportation,  which  can  save  up  to  more  than  one  billion  gallons  of  fuel  and  prevent  the  emission  of  half  a  million  tons  of  carbon  dioxide  annually.  In  Korea,  for  example,  the  term  BMW,  which  stands  for  Bus,  Metro,  and  Walk  not  the  car  company,  exists  to  promote  the  increased  usage  of  public  transportation.  

  Students  at  IIS  are  also  partaking  in  the  challenge  to  stop  global  warming.  64%  of  IIS  students  use  public  transportation  to  come  to  school.  Some  students  complain  that  using  these  transportations  is  tiresome,  but  they  bear  in  their  heart  the  disastrous  effects  of  global  warming  on  the  world.
