Extra credit project： Adjusting to Life in Korea----ZHANG XIAOTONG

 As a student studying in Korea, I will describe my experience of taking English courses in Korean classrooms, learning wiki technology, and adapting to life in Korea.

1. Taking English courses

Taking and learning English courses is a kind of self-enhancement and improvement. During class, you will practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The content of this English course includes basic grammar, vocabulary, daily conversation, and professional or academic English. You can practice listening and professional terminology when the professor teaches, and understand and learn grammar to write articles when completing homework after class. You will also practice speaking when talking with classmates and professors. In such a course, I can improve my language skills in many ways.

2. Learning wiki technology

Wiki technology refers to the creation and maintenance of website content in an open, collectively edited way. Wikipedia and Wikivoyage are more iconic Wiki technology applications. Before starting to edit Wikipedia, I first learned the basic rules of Wikipedia and created a Wikipedia account, and began to try to edit existing entries. I gradually learned how to use the "visual editor" to modify text, add internal links, insert references, etc. When editing Wikivoyage information, I often start from the perspective of travelers and consider what practical information travelers need, such as how to get there, accommodation recommendations, and what attractions are worth seeing. This has given me a deeper understanding of all aspects of travel and made me feel a sense of accomplishment in helping others.

3. Adapting to life in Korea

Adapting to life in Korea requires dealing with cultural differences, language barriers, and various challenges in daily life. For a foreigner like me, it is very important to understand Korean society and culture. The first thing I need to learn is Korean, including mastering basic grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and daily conversation skills. Then I have to gradually integrate into Korean culture and adapt to Korea's basic etiquette and social norms, such as greetings, social etiquette, etc. I also have to work hard to adapt to these cultural changes in my daily life, but this also requires me to continue to spend time practicing slowly.

What is the relation between politics and globalization? QU HONGYU

  The Political Impact of Globalization With the accelerated development of globalization, international relations have become more and more close, and the political system has more and more significant influence on international relations. The political system is the organization and functioning mechanism within a country, while international relations are the interaction and interaction between countries. First, the impact of the political system on international relations can be seen in two ways. On the one hand, the stability and effectiveness of the political system play an important role in the stability and harmony of international relations. A country with a stable political system, reasonable distribution of power, impartiality and transparency can better maintain domestic stability and social order, thus providing a reliable partner for the international community. For example, countries under democratic systems tend to pay more attention to human rights and the rule of l...

What is the relation between economy and globalization? QU HONGYU

 Impact of globalization on the world economy With the continuous development of globalization, the world economy is undergoing tremendous changes. The impact and changes brought about by globalization are multifaceted and involve various fields such as economy, trade, investment, science and technology, culture and so on. 1.Globalization promotes the development of international trade Globalization has made international trade an important part of the world economy.

What is the relation between economy and globalization? SHENZIHE

 The economy and globalization are closely intertwined, mutually promoting and influencing each other. Globalization promotes economic development • Market expansion: Globalization has broken down trade barriers among countries, enabling enterprises to enter the global market. For example, many multinational corporations can sell their products all over the world, greatly expanding the market scope. The Coca - Cola Company, for instance, whose products are sold in more than 200 countries and regions, benefits from the market opening brought about by globalization. • Optimal allocation of resources: Each country can obtain resources on a global scale. Resource - rich countries can export resources, while countries with developed manufacturing industries can import resources for production. For example, the oil in the Middle East is exported all over the world, providing power support for the industrial production of oil - importing countries. • Technology and knowledge dissemination...
