Zoom Meeting Regarding Online English Tutorials

Zoom Meeting Regarding Online English Tutorials

Sangwook Alex Ahn

To continue with our efforts to help the children at the Cheryl Learning Center, Ecosave members had a zoom meeting to help the youngest of the children to start learning English by making easy English tutorial videos. 

I had thought that most of the Filipinos were somewhat fluent in English as the Philippines is recognized globally as one of the largest English-speaking nations with majority of its population having at least some degree of fluency in the language. English has been one of the official languages and language of commerce and law, as well as the primary medium of instruction in education.

However, some Filipinos cannot speak or write English at all. Those groups of people are called “indigenous people,” group of people from tribes or people that live in the mountains and villages. Also, the adults/parents who haven't had the opportunity to go to school and children who are in a poor family.

The children of the Cheryl Learning Center would conform to this case. I should think that knowing English is very important to these children because it will increase their chances of getting a good job. Also, as the language of international communication, the media and the Internet, it is important for socializing and entertainment as well as work.

I am sure that for these children learning English could undoubtedly change their future. Therefore, our members and I will try our best to help these children to learn English hoping to at least initiate and stimulate their interests. Yes, we can change lives.

This day, we made seafood jjajangmyeon topped with edible mealworm powder.

We filmed a video of the process of cooking this dish in order to also promote the idea that it would be good for Korea to also develop insect foods preferred by consumers and start exporting them as K-foods to foreign countries.

Eco-Friendly Trend in Businesses 

Sungjoon Choo (Grade 9)

It is a well-known fact that climate change is not something we can nudge off; it is an urgent problem that needs to be dealt with. Evidently, the main cause of such disastrous problems is humans.

When modernization started to occur, we rapidly took full advantage of nature. We started to use up the soil, cut down trees, and mine coal. Through this process, technology developed at a rapid speed; however, the environment was damaged. 

A decade ago, the economy did not care about the environment. We saw many blue-chip companies deliberately cutting down trees to make innovative products and customers buying those products without any concern. However, in the 21st century, if a company destroys nature in the process of creating a product, it is the headline of the nine o clock news.

Society used to believe that if a company is eco friendly it was a plus. Now, it has become the norm. It is now a common trend for customers to purposely buy eco-friendly goods; according to the Consumer Sustainability Survey in 2019, 72% of consumers bought more environmentally-friendly products than five years ago. Adding on, it stated that 81% of those interviewed said they planned to buy more sustainable products over the next five years. 

 

By looking at this graph, we can see that the sales are constantly moving up. 

 

It is now the 21st century and with immense development technologically our environment is deteriorating. Hence, we as consumers should follow the trend of buying eco-friendly products and incentivise all companies that actively try to help the environment.
