Part one
Do you enjoy traveling?
- I definitely love traveling and I think my major which is tourism management, influenced me a lot. As I studied more about tourism, I was getting more into it.
Have you done much traveling?
- I don't think so even though I have traveled over five countries but because the world is too big and there are still too so many places that I want to explore in for the rest of my life.
Do you think it's better to travel alone or with other people?
- Well, some people would say traveling alone is always the best but I'm not that kind of person.
I prefer traveling with other people because it is absolutely more safe safer and the most important thing is that I can share my feelings and some knowledges with other people which is pretty fun.
Where would you like to travel in the future?
- I would like to travel to America at some point because I'm kind of a big fan of American culture such as movies, and dramas and music, something like that. So Naturally, I was am pretty much influenced by the American culture.
So that's why Therefore, one day, I want to observe the real life in of Americans by experiencing physically going there in person.
Part two
Describe a child that you know, you should say who this child is and how often you see him or her, how old this child is, what he or she is like and explain what you feel about this child.
- Well, that's a hard question for me personally because I don't really know any children around me. but, there is one girl who comes to my mind and she is the daughter of one of my coworkers.
But it's a shame that I can't meet her often because currently I'm a student so I cannot even seeing my coworkers that often.
So I think I can might be able to see her once a year whenever my coworker brings her daughter together to work. And as far as I know, she's just turned to 7 and she's currently studying in the attending primary school.
And she's kind of a super energetic person and she loves gathering with meeting new people. And Also, she doesn't look like a act shy person at all like other kids.
And I was really impressed by with her because even it was the first time I met her, she kept talking with to me. So, I think she's pretty much confident.
So, based on my experience impression, I think she's going to be huge someone great. I mean, since she's so talented and confident, as I said.
So, I think she's gonna going to be a person who performs or gives speeches in front of many people.
Part three
How much time do children spend with their parents in your country? Do you think that is enough?
- Well, I think children in Korea mostly spend like four to five hours with their parents because I think most parents in Korea, they need to work until late.
So, the time that children can spend with their parents are is only between the time their parents come back from their work and before they go to bed.
And, of course, I don't think it's enough time for them to spend time together both children and parents.
How important do you think spending time together is for the relationship between parents and children? Why?
- Well, of course, spending time with their parents for children is essential for children because spending time with parents doesn't only mean talking to them and playing games with them,. it's more like a process that they build their relationship and get close, you know. But if there's not enough time for them to spend time with spent together, I think it's going to would be hard for them to interact enough have enough interaction.

Have relationships between parents and children changed in recent years Why do you think that is?
- I think recently, children are more influenced by the Internet than their parents and teachers.
This phenomenon leads to a brought change in the relationship between children and parents because as children rely more on the Internet, they would are more likely to spend more time with their on mobile phones or computer, something like that. So, they might not like the traditional prefer doing activities that the old family did with their parents. So To conclude, I think the relationship between children and parents has definitely changed a lot as technology has become more advanced.
What are the most popular free-time activities with children today?
- Well, I think the most popular activity among parents in Korea is going to the shopping malls together with their children because parents these days also value their own lives, not only the lives of their children.
So, I can see many parents bringing their kids to the shopping malls and then just leaving their children them play at the indoor playground. After leaving their children at those places, their parents will they usually go to the coffee shops or just do some shopping at the shopping mall.
So, I think bringing children to the shopping mall is the most popular activity among families in Korea.
Do you think the free time activities children do today are good for their health? Why is that?
Well, I don't think it's really related to their health because going to the shopping mall is just a thing an activity for children to have fun.
So it's not like doing sports, studying, or picking up some skills. It's just simply playing at the playground.
So, I don't think it's really a thing that can improve children's health.

How do you think children's activities will change in the future? Will this be a positive change?
- Well, hopefully, children's activities in the future will be more positive than nowadays.
But honestly, I think the that activities would will be more and more limited and more independent from their parents.
So, I'm afraid it's going to be the result in lack of interactions between children and their parents since with the internet is becoming more influential to children than their parents.
So, children seem to rely more on the Internet. So Thus, I think the activities in the future will be changed due to that phenomenon, which is but in a little bit negative way for a family's relationships.
