Dear Lieju
I am so sorry for making fun of your height and mocking you. I hope you don't have any problems with your friends and students. I also hope you didn't lose any time with crying in the dorm. I won't make fun of anybody again. And I will apologize to you infront of everybody in the class 21. I'm so sorry.

Introuction on Sooyeon Kim
Hello. nice to meet you. my name is Sooyeon Kim, and my English name is Soo, which is not spelled Sue, SOO. It's just the
I am from Changwon, Korea. I go to Towol middle school, which is also in Changwon.
Right now I am in grade one in middle school, but in March, I am going to be in the second grade. I am kind of nervous about it and I think that I have to study harder next year. I am a bit puzzled about that.
My hobby is listening to music, scrap booking, and writing diaries. I like to play winter sports such as ice skating, figure skating, ice hockey, and skiing. I learned all three of these when I went to Canada for a year and four month. Especially, I had 1:1 lessons on figure skating in Canada for about six months. I also really like something related to music. I started to learn music when I was very young, probably when I was five or six... I think. I started to learn piano and I quited piano a while ago. Just before I went to Canada, so in 2008, I started to learn flute. I'm still doing the flute now, though. Also, this year, at school, I got to learn samullori for free, so I really really really wanted to play kwanggari, but I couldn't because only two people could do that role and 3rd graders in our school did it. So I decided to play the buk, which is the Korean drum. I really like samullori, so I wanted to do the samullori C.A., but I couldn't because there were too many people. But what I like the most, I really really really really really really really like music. That is why I enjoyed learning piano and flute. And I think this is the reason why I like samullori so much, too. I enjoy listening to music, especially Beast's since I am a beauty. But I still like to listen to other group's songs and even other genre such as classic.

Summary
Yesterday Mr. Dean gave our class a lecture about 'Creativity in Class'. At first, I thought it would be kind of boring... But actually, it was quite interesting for me.
First, he told us that creativity is production, not reproduction, and creativity is fun, but not easy, and creativity is researchable, but it isn't a magic. He also told about an experiment which a psychologist did. He would hang up two ropes on the ceiling of the room, and then make people to hold both ropes. People couldn't catch the rope because the ropes were too far to each other. But when the psychologist come into the room and tells the person "I'll give you two more minutes." and hit one of the ropes like it was a accident, and get out of the room, the person in the room figures out how to catch both ropes. He makes one of the ropes swing than go hold another one, and when the end of the rope swings and come toward him, he catches the rope. That is the right way to solve the problem. When the psychologist ask the person, "How did you figure this out?" all the people who did this experiment said, "I don't know. It just came to me." However, this is not true, because the psychologist gave them a hint by hitting the rope.
Secondly, Mr. Dean told us about the Science and Pseudo-Science. He said studies such as astronomy is science and astrology(telling the future by looking at stars) is pseudo-science.
Third, Mr. Dean told our class some myths about creativity. If you do a little bit of drugs or/and alcohol, it increases creativity, but if you do a lot of drugs or/and alcohol, it decreases creativity. Giving money or prizes also decreases creativity. Also, giving structure increases creativity. An interesting fact about creativity is that you do not have to be good at art in order to be creative. I was quite surprised to know that.
Finally, he talked about controlled distractions to be creative. For example, using random words helps us become creative. Giving money or prizes makes people too focused on something, and the phone makes people too distracted, so Mr. Dean told us that we really need controlled distractions for being creative.
