About So Young by Miyuki (Part.2)


My partner is So Young. I envy because of her name very much in the meaning of the pronunciation of English. I think that it is easy to remember her name because of the difficult sound of Korean for English speakers. Korean sounding names are difficult to pronounce and her simple name is easier to remember. It also sounds a little English and matches her personality because she is so young. It is very good point, when meeting starts. She is a student from Korea. She has already spent four months in Toronto.


Her purpose of coming is to study English. The reason why, English is important with the work of a good salary in her home country. So, she determined to come here, and studying. Now, she wants to return to Canada again(or America) after PGIS is finished and then she graduates from the university, and to be continuing the study of English more and more. And, at the end, her dream is to become the office worker or a banker who speaks English with fluency.


Her hobby are listening music and watching movies. She usually goes to the movie theater once a week. Her favorite genre is love story. Her best recommendation is an American movie of - " If Only (2004) ". Have you ever seen this? Watching movies is something she does to help study English. First time, she is reading subtitles and the secound time without subtitles. She already knows the story and understanding becomes easier. I think that it is good idea for us.

She is only a little shy because it is still young. However, she is to overcome it from now on. Of course, there is no change in her name, I know…
