Hello, my name is DoHyeon Kim. I am a first-year student in Sangsan High School. I am 15-year-old in American age and 17-year-old in Korean age. Because in Korean age, when we are born, we consider the baby as 1-year-old and whether the birthday is over or not is not important in considering the age, but we consider the New Year’s Day as the day we get a year older. Anyway, I will tell you about the life in Korean high school.
In dormitory, we must get up at 6:30. This is really hard for me. So I go to sleep again and wake up at 7:10. Then, I go to school at 7;50. The last class ends at 5:10. After dinner, we do self-study at school at night which ends at 9:20 and take a rest until 10. And from 10 to 11:20, we do self-study at dorm. It looks like that we are studying every time. Frankly speaking, when we do self-study, half of the time is to have fun with friends.
In Korean high school, a great number of students always prepare for the exam called 수능(suneung), which is similar to the SAT or ACT in America, This test is only offered once a year unlike the SAT and ACT. Because of the pressure, students in Korea high-key hate this exam. We must make use of lots of workbooks to prepare for the test.
Now I will share my hobbies to you. My hobby is listening music. I heard that K-pop is very famous not only in Korea but also in America these days. I am a big fan of K-pop. I recommend you listen to ‘Love Dive’ and ‘After Like’ of IVE. These songs are very addictive.
I have been to San Francisco when I was young. It is one of the happiest days in my life. If I have time, I want to go to New York. Can you recommend me some hot places to visit in New York?
Best,
DoHyeon
