My learning profile.

I learn best when I am in my positive attitude also looking at three-dimensional perspective helps me too. When it is noisy around me it is not easy for me to concentrate.

I need to be at my positive feelings because when I am tired I don't do it well as I could be.

The strategies that would that would help my learning could be studying in quiet place, where I can study and concentrate on my work.

I would like my teachers to know about me is that I am not a fast learner. I sometime don't understand and I have to listen to the instruction several times.

Bio poem

Justin, (Jeong woo)
Kind, selfish, shy, bright, respect, mean, and honest.
My most important relationship is friends, pet, and family.
Five things that I love, my dog, phone, computer, friends, and family.
There are five things happen to me and I still remember the feelings:
1) When I first came to America, I was so excited.
2) When I fell down on a sharp things I was feeling that I died.
3) When I first present this year, I was so nervous so I could not think anything.
4) When I got A in humanities, I felt like I had the world.
5) When I got my pat I could not believe that my mother allow to have a pet and have a pet in our house.
I am afraid at insects, ghost, grades, mom, and someone who does bad things(ex:thief, murderer, etc)
I have 5 wishes, losing my weight, having a good eyesight, be more cleaver, be rich when I grow up, and being healthy.
I have some accomplishments, improved my grade last year ,now I have a pet, and I have a good phone now.
And I live in Malaysia.
Choi

Me in three-Justin

I have three meaningful objects. One is my only one diary, another is a sticker book, and the other is a signature that is on a normal paper. All three of them are brought from Korea and it is in my Malaysia house now.

Firstly, I would like to tell you about my diary. I was in the first grade; my Korean school force me to keep a diary so I wrote it. I usually wrote the same things because same thing happened all the day or I was not really interested in writing the diary. And that was the reason why I usually write the same things. When I read my diary now I can still remember what happened those days, even it was almost the same things. Those days I did not like to write it but now when I look at it, it was not waste of time. Even I know that is not waste of time of writing a diary but I don’t write it because I am still not interested in keeping a diary!

Secondly, I will tell you about the sticker book. I know it is kind of girls’ collections to do but it was one of my hobbies. In my school those days I was in the second grade, and in my class everybody started to collect stickers. One day I brought my bran new pencil case with one sticker on it. One of the girls in my class asked me if I have more stickers in my house, so I said, “Yes”. The next day we started to trade some stickers, then everybody started to fallow us, but I still don’t know the reason why. That became popular so I had to and wanted to start collect more and more stickers. Now the book is so thick it cannot be close easily, but now I don’t collect stickers. My mom used to say it is a waste of money, nowadays I agreed with my mother’s thought but it was very fun that days.

Lastly, I will like to tell you about a normal signature on a normal piece of paper. Before I tell you my story, I would like to tell you about my opinion first, because it is related to it! I think meeting a famous star is really cool things to do, getting a signature is cooler things to do, and being a best friend with a famous star’s children is the coolest things to do! What do you think of my opinion? I did the coolest thing! One of the best and most famous soccer players in Korea called Hwang Sun Hong’s and his son was my best friend! And he got a signature for me, and I still have it in Korea. I cannot call him now but my sister is friend with Hwang Sun Hong’s daughter and they still call each other when we were in Korea. Most of the people in Korea knows him so most of the people wants to meet him in person and also get his signature. Hwang Sun Hong’s family now live in Hawaii so it is hard to meet him.

That is my three meaningful objects. I think I can prove that I am missing Korea and my friends there by reading my writing. This three objects, diary, sticker book, and Hwang Sun Hong’s signature, are very important to me so I am taking a good care of it.

History Of My Name.

I have two names, one is Justin, the other is Jeong Woo, and my family name is Choi. I like both of my names because both of them have a good meanings. (Who is not Korean call me my name and my name change to other names like some kind of instrument that make many sounds.) People who aren’t Korean, pronounce my Korean name differently that’s why I have a English name.
In the name Jeong Woo, Jeong means someone who lives ethically, and Woo means outer space. Outer space is so large, with so many different things, It has a possibility to have so many things that we don’t know so it represents the big posibility. My mother wants me to have a variety of skills to know so I can have variety of jobs to choose. When you write Jeong Woo in opposite way it becomes, Woo Jeong, which means friendship in Korean. Jeong Woo is a famous name but Choi Jeong Woo is not famous because my family name is not famous, so I am proud of it. Justin is also a famous name because is common name and also a famous singer’s name. When I type Justin in the dictionary, it says is a boys’ name. I do not have a nick name with my surname but I had different kinds of names since I had two names. For Justin I had two, one is Justin Bieber as you guested and the other one is mango. My nickname is actually mangosteen but people think is too long so they call me mango which doesn’t really fits to me like baby wearing their own father’s shoe.
My parents bought my names from the place where people makes name and buy them. The person who made my name actually gave my parents two choices. My grandfather chose Jeong Woo and when my parents read the name to me they said I was kind of smiling. So they decide to use this name and I am happy about my name.

My favorite book

Title Catching Fire (Hunger Game 2)
Author Suzanne Collins

1. This book made me think about violence. If I was in the game I will be so scared because the game rule is killing each other and you need to survive in the game. But this game is the second game for the main girl charter so the place they fight was the murderer. But the players was trying to escape from the game and protect the girl and boy main character but they were not trying to win the game.

2. This book challenged me as a reader by understanding the sentence. The book use description very well and the most of the description was comparing to something so it took me a wille to understand the all sentence.

3. Don't read this book if you can imagine that your in the book and feel the main character's feelings very well because this book describes the feeling very well and the most of the feeling is not good.

My Spring Break Adventure.

I didn't go any where so I was kind of broad. I complained to my mom because all my friend went some where and they are having fun out there. I was kind of jealous and I wanted to go with them at the same time. I was happy when my mom said we will go to the Club-Med in Put-Cat next year. That happiness was gone so fast because I am not going any where right now!!

Some stuff let my broadness go away. One of the way was reading, I hate reading but I remembered that my friends are reading book called Hunger Game. It was fun and I learned that they have some reason why people read famous books. I can't believe that I finished reading the book in 10 days. The story was mainly about people fighting to win the game, you need to kill people and survive. It is valiant but it is so fun to read because I can imagine the picture in the book.

The other way that let my broadness go away was playing with my friends but the problem is some of my friends are gone and other school did not start the spring break. So I only play with my friends when it is weekends. We went to the Pc room(they have so many computer you can play games with your friends there.) and had fun. We play in Pc room, singing box, play tag inside the apartment, or go to someone's house.

I also sleep over in my house and in my friends house before my friends when to vacation. I did sleep over with my friends 3 times during the break. The first sleep over was in my house, we basically play computer game. The second and third time was in Jung hun's house. Second sleep over we saw some scary stuff. On the last sleep over we made a rubber band gun. We played with that and it was so fun(his house is big enough to play the rubber band gun fight.)

It was boring but I could rest before I went to school. It was too simple to say that it is a vacation. When It was the last day of the holiday, I was happy that I could see my friends but I had two really bad problem that make me worried. During the spring break I sleep really late and wake up really late, that is one of my problem. The other problem was making me angry. My friends was teasing me because other school start the spring break now. Where I live(Ampang) Koreans play all together.

Literature Circles 4

There were little freedom that exist. The people life way were little different from them. I think the people that who are not pasion can't join them because in the book it said they don't mix people in the villige. Their attitude toward tripods were no as seriously as the three boys were.

They were no war going on. their were people there who wanted freedom. Even in the books it says one boy ran out from his humdrum life. Ladies should be gracious and accomplished the boys had to be brave and need courage. they looked the feature, which was being capped. It was one way to become a king night. When you become a king night there is many thing that can help you.

The White Mountains Blogpost

1)How were the Tripods able to control the people?
They capped the people and to be accurate they capped the vergant, they wanted to make them slaves.

2)find evidence (quotation from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.


3)Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.
He is feeling that he is capped because he could see the tripods very easily and when he runs away they are going to get him. I think that's the reason why he is feeling that he is capped.

White mountains

How is Will just like you?



I think most of the part he is really diffiernt with me but the most smiliar part is that I have pretty same exprience with him. I lived in singapore when I was a kindergaden then I came back to Korea in 1st rade. I did not have many friends and when I got to 3rd grade one boy was disturbing me like Henry bistrubing Will. At least I had many friends that time. I try my best to ignore him but even in 4th grade he is enoring me.



After few month being 4th grade I came to Malaysia. Before I come here the guy that keep distrubing me said sorry to me. He want to be friend with me but he liked teasing many people so he did not have many friends and he was actually nice boy. Before I go to Malaysia I play with him and with my old friends together. It is like just Henry wants to go to the journey with Will

My comment.

1) Sammul and Harjot's King Tut.
I think it was kind of funny at the first part but it still give us important information. They didn't really talk and give information like other group did. = 87%
2) Ashika and Alvin's Queen Nefertiti.
They had really good information but it was kind of boring and they speak to fast I could not hear the information. = 85%
3) Maria and Andrea's Ramses II.
I think it was very good because they had many informations (But they were talking too fast.) and their I-moive was also very creative. = 93%
4) Kennedy and Stephanie's Queen Hatshepsut.
I liked it because the information was good but the problem was that your picture was not clear to see, including sources. =83%

Imove reflection

My partner was Pasha. I will tell you about him simply. He ask me first if I want to be partner with him, so I say yes... But after I said yes, I was kind of angry at him because he was talking and he didn't work! When teacher came he started to work. He also did the same thing has the rest of the time. He also help other group and when I saw him, he looks like he putting more his effort on it. I was kind of surprise. I think I am being mean but the truth is that pasha only wrote half of the script and do only two more lines. That will be the bad thing but he did a good job.

The good thing is that he realize that we didn't had much time at the last day that we had. So we work as fast as we could and ended up with finishing the script. But I needed to change the script half up it because it didn't make sense. But I think we had a good teamwork.

I think we did pretty good job then I imagine but not really good. I hope he do his best the next time who ever his partner is.

CIty Connection.

2) What would you improve for future presentations/projects?

I think I have to put more information and say clearly to your audience. When I was doing the presentation I was to shy and I also notice that I didn't type some informations so I was thinking I could've go over at least once before the due date. I also got kind of surprise and shy when one of my audience laugh at my mistake. This was my second that I'm thinking I need to think before I write. I really learned many stuff that I needed to improve a lot more. I also think I could've put the fun facts too because I could've got extra point. But I think I kind of did a good job of doing filling up the history space even I didn't have my city history. So I'm thinking as at next project I should put more details in it, I should not be shy, I should also speak clearly, I should check after I'm finished, and maybe I could put more slide in it.

my learning style...




1. I learn best when I feel happy or when I kind of know something on what we are learning I feel proud of me and I talk like I'm showing off. I also liked the way when it is organized.

2. I need to see some example to do better in my work because when I see examples, I'm sure what I am suppose to do.

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning will be the explanation because I am weak at vocabulary. 

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me that I am a slow learner and I like organized learning style.

my goal....



 I saw this dig lizard when I been to club med. I saw thousands of them. It was also kind of scary.

I saw this while I was riding the train to go to the ocean. I was thinking that lizard was hard to see but when I arrived to the ocean, I saw thousands of them.




I wish I could make more friends in the school and I also with I could work harder and go out from ESL(EAP). I also wish I could lose my weight so people don't call me fat or think that I'm fat.  I think I really need to work on every thing to get better.

I'm have to really work hard to reach this goal so I'm going to do my best in 2011!!
