[상황] My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

[위기] We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down — that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

[극복]I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer animated feature film(장편 영화), Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.

[교훈]Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

사랑과 상실

[상황]
내 두 번째 이야기는 사랑과 상실에 대한 것입니다. 나는 운이 좋았습니다. 인생에서 내가 사랑하는 일을 일찍 찾았으니까요. 워즈(Woz)와 나는 내가 20살이었을 때 부모님의 차고에서 애플을 시작했습니다. 우리는 열심히 일했고, 10년 만에 애플은 차고에서 시작한 두 명의 작은 팀에서 직원 4000명 규모의 20억 달러 기업으로 성장했습니다.

[위기]
우리는 막 최고의 창작물인 매킨토시를 출시했고, 나는 막 30살이 되었습니다. 그리고 그때 나는 해고당했습니다. 어떻게 자신이 창립한 회사에서 해고될 수 있을까요? 애플이 성장하면서 나는 함께 회사를 운영할 매우 유능한 사람을 고용했다고 생각했습니다. 처음 1년 정도는 모든 것이 순조롭게 진행되었습니다. 하지만 시간이 지나면서 우리의 미래에 대한 비전이 달라졌고, 결국 의견 충돌이 일어났습니다. 그리고 이 과정에서 이사회(Board of Directors)는 그 사람의 편을 들었습니다. 그래서 나는 30살에 회사에서 쫓겨났습니다. 그것도 아주 공개적으로 말이죠.

내 성인의 모든 시간을 바쳐온 것이 하루아침에 사라졌고, 그것은 정말 참담한 일이었습니다. 몇 개월 동안 나는 무엇을 해야 할지 전혀 몰랐습니다. 나는 이전 세대의 기업가들에게 큰 실망을 안겨준 것 같았고, 그들에게 넘겨받은 바통을 떨어뜨린 기분이었습니다. 나는 데이비드 패커드(David Packard)와 밥 노이스(Bob Noyce)를 만나 큰 실수를 저질렀다고 사과하기도 했습니다. 나는 모두가 보는 앞에서 실패했고, 심지어 실리콘밸리를 떠날 생각까지 했습니다. 하지만 시간이 흐르면서 서서히 깨닫게 된 것이 있었습니다. 나는 여전히 내가 하는 일을 사랑하고 있었습니다. 애플에서의 사건은 그것을 조금도 바꾸지 않았습니다. 나는 거절당했지만, 여전히 내가 하는 일에 사랑에 빠져 있었습니다. 그래서 나는 다시 시작하기로 결심했습니다.

[극복]
그때는 몰랐지만, 애플에서 해고당한 것은 내 인생에서 일어난 가장 좋은 일이었습니다. 성공해야 한다는 무거운 부담감이 사라지고, 다시 시작하는 초심자의 가벼움이 찾아왔습니다. 모든 것이 확실하지 않은 상태가 오히려 나를 자유롭게 했고, 내 인생에서 가장 창의적인 시기를 맞이할 수 있도록 해주었습니다.

그 후 5년 동안, 나는 NeXT라는 회사를 설립했고, 또 다른 회사인 Pixar를 만들었으며, 나의 아내가 된 놀라운 여성과 사랑에 빠졌습니다. Pixar는 세계 최초의 컴퓨터 애니메이션 장편 영화인 토이 스토리를 제작했고, 현재 가장 성공한 애니메이션 스튜디오가 되었습니다. 놀랍게도 애플이 NeXT를 인수하면서 나는 다시 애플로 돌아왔고, NeXT에서 개발한 기술이 애플의 부활 중심에 놓이게 되었습니다. 그리고 로렌과 나는 아름다운 가정을 이루었습니다.

만약 내가 애플에서 해고되지 않았다면 이 모든 일이 일어나지 않았을 것입니다. 그것은 정말 끔찍한 약이었지만, 환자에게 꼭 필요한 약이었던 셈입니다.

[교훈]
때때로 인생은 당신의 머리를 벽돌로 내리칩니다. 하지만 믿음을 잃지 마세요. 나를 버티게 한 유일한 것은 내가 하는 일을 사랑했다는 사실입니다. 당신은 반드시 당신이 사랑하는 것을 찾아야 합니다. 그것은 일에서도, 사랑에서도 마찬가지입니다.

당신의 일이 인생에서 큰 부분을 차지할 것입니다. 그리고 진정으로 만족하는 유일한 방법은 당신이 위대한 일이라고 믿는 일을 하는 것입니다. 그리고 위대한 일을 할 수 있는 유일한 방법은 당신이 하는 일을 사랑하는 것입니다.

아직 그것을 찾지 못했다면, 계속 찾아보세요. 멈추지 마세요. 사랑과 관련된 모든 일처럼, 당신이 찾았을 때 직감적으로 알게 될 것입니다. 그리고 훌륭한 관계처럼, 그것은 시간이 흐를수록 더욱 좋아질 것입니다. 그러니 계속해서 찾으세요. 멈추지 마세요.

First, one negative effect is the invasion of privacy. As technology advances, so do surveillance technologies. Due to the spread of CCTV and social media, our private lives are increasingly exposed, making privacy violations a serious issue. According to one news report, a drone secretly filmed the inside of an apartment, clearly showing how technology can negatively impact privacy.

Second, there is the problem of elderly isolation. While the development of technology has brought convenient devices like kiosks and smartphones, many elderly people struggle to use them, leading to their exclusion. For example, one elderly person visited a fast food restaurant but couldn’t use the kiosk, so they had to leave without ordering. This shows how technology can cause social exclusion for the elderly.

As we can see, while technological advancement brings comfort, it also creates new problems. Now, we must strive for a kind of development that does not harm anyone.

Most people haven’t.

That’s right. But this brand started in a surprising way with a man who made tractors.

We often give up when we face rejection and limits. But some people turn those moments into the start of a challenge. Let’s see how that spirit of challenge created a new path.

Lamborghini was a businessman who made tractors. He found many problems with Ferrari cars and tried to suggest fixes, but he was ignored with the words, “What would a tractor maker know about cars?” That dismissal became his challenge, and he decided to build sports cars himself.

After Lamborghini succeeded with sports cars, Horacio Pagani, who worked there, had conflicts over using carbon fiber. He took on the challenge and started his own brand, Pagani.

This shows us that the spirit of challenge can turn the impossible into possible and open new roads.

"The second solution involves allowing single women to have children through sperm donation. This would enable women to choose desirable genetic traits and raise children independently, which could contribute to increasing the birth rate in modern societies where marriage is becoming less common.

That's all. Thank you for listening.

Today, I’d like to talk about how we can protect the environment in our daily lives.

First, we can reduce the number of food deliveries we make.

By ordering less delivery food, we can decrease the use of disposable items.

According to Nongmin Sinmun, the average amount of plastic waste increased by 15% compared to the previous year.

If we simply choose not to receive disposable spoons and chopsticks with our delivery orders, we can help reduce waste.

Second, we should use public transportation.

Taking buses or subways instead of driving helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is crucial for protecting the environment.

According to Greenpeace, transportation accounts for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

If more people actively use public transit, we can make a significant impact.

Lastly, we must separate our waste properly.

When we sort our trash correctly, recycling becomes easier and more effective, helping to reduce environmental pollution.

According to University Newspaper, due to poor waste separation, only about 1% of plastic waste is actually recycled.

This is a serious issue we can help solve through simple actions.

In conclusion, by reducing delivery orders, using public transportation, and sorting our waste, we can all play a part in protecting the environment.

**Small actions can lead to big changes. Let's take action to protect our planet.

Today, I want to talk about a problem that many countries, including South Korea, are facing right now: low birth rates. This issue may not seem urgent to some of us, but it can have huge impacts on our future.

Low birth rates mean fewer babies are being born every year. At first, this might not sound like a big problem. But if fewer children are born, there will be fewer young people in the future. This leads to an aging population, which means more old people and fewer workers to support them.

As the working population gets smaller, the economy can slow down. There will be fewer people to work, pay taxes, and take care of the elderly. This puts pressure on the healthcare system, pensions, and the younger generation.

In South Korea, the birth rate is one of the lowest in the world. This is already causing problems in schools, jobs, and the economy. If this continues, the future could be even more difficult for us and the next generation.

So, what can we do? Governments need to provide better support for families, such as affordable childcare, housing, and work-life balance. But we also need to change our mindset and create a society where people feel confident about having children.

In conclusion, low birth rates are not just a number—they are a serious issue that affects all of us. It’s time to think about solutions and take action for our future.

Thank you for listening.

Today, I want to talk about something that might sound like a luxury during exam season: exercise. When we’re buried under textbooks, notes, and endless practice questions, going for a jog or hitting the gym might seem like the last thing we have time for. But actually, it's something we can't afford to skip.

First, let’s talk about our brains. Exercise isn’t just good for your body — it boosts your mind too. Physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, which helps you think more clearly and remember more effectively. Just 20 to 30 minutes of light exercise, like walking or stretching, can improve concentration, reduce mental fatigue, and help you retain what you've studied.

Second, exams are stressful.  We all know that. But did you know that exercise is one of the most powerful natural stress relievers? It helps reduce cortisol, the stress hormone, and increases endorphins, the chemicals in your brain that make you feel happier and more relaxed. Even a short workout can lift your mood and calm your nerves, which is essential during high-pressure times like exams.

Third, exercise helps you sleep better. And during exams, getting good sleep is just as important as studying. When you’re well-rested, you're more alert, your memory works better, and you’re less likely to make careless mistakes.

Finally, let’s be honest — we all need a break sometimes. Studying non-stop doesn’t make you more productive. Taking regular breaks for physical activity can actually improve your focus when you return to your work. It gives your brain time to reset and absorb what you've learned.

So next time you feel guilty about taking time away from your studies to move your body, remember this: exercise isn’t a distraction — it’s an essential part of preparing for success.

Thank you.

This statement especially applies to situations like war, and it would be even more accurate when predicting the future nature of warfare.

In the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the role of drones and other unmanned vehicles is becoming increasingly important.

The low-cost mass production of drones allows them to perform a wide range of missions in modern military operations, including reconnaissance, kamikaze attacks, bombing, search, and surveillance, making their importance even more apparent.

Modern soldiers, armed with rifles and similar weapons, cannot shoot down drones that fly in quickly from a distance to carry out kamikaze attacks or drop bombs and then fly away.

Also, drones come in various sizes, and some small and medium-sized drones cannot be detected by radar or missile tracking systems.

To increase the chances of shooting down drones without being detected, the types of weapons issued to individual soldiers are changing from rifles to shotguns, and external buildings are being replaced with underground facilities or trenches.

The North Korean military must have also realized the power of drones in this war.

n this way, drones are changing the nature of warfare and opening a new chapter.

Our country must also invest in the drone industry, train related personnel, and develop drones capable of performing military missions to strengthen the capabilities of the South Korean military.

First, according to Beccaria, a French revolutionary philosopher, his country's public executions cause fear in citizens. He says that fear caused by the death penalty eventually deteriorates national productivity, lowering supply power.

Second, North Korea currently legalizes the death penalty. According to UN RELORT, Park Nam-ki's public execution caused fear in society, which led to a 12 percent increase in food prices due to a decline in productivity.

In addition, according to a paper by social psychologist R.W. ROGELS, there is a result of a psychological paper that, if it instills fear in citizens, the passion of productive power is prioritized in their brains, making them ineligible for productive activities.

Finally, this figure is a graph showing the relationship between real national income and inflation, which suggests real national income on the X-axis and prices on the Y-axis. As shown in the figure, when productivity falls, prices increase and GDP decreases, causing stagflation.

From this point of view, I think that life imprisonment should be defined as the highest punishment of the state rather than the death penalty.

What is true freedom?

According to the dictionary, freedom is “a state in which one is not restricted by external forces and can do as one wishes.”

In other words, in order to act freely, we must not be bound by anything.

Reason 1 why free will is an illusion

There is an experiment by Benjamin Libet.

It showed that a signal in the brain appears before a person feels they have made a decision to act.

This suggests that conscious choice is simply an awareness of a decision already made by the brain.

Reason 2 why free will is an illusion

We live surrounded by various obligations in society.

In that process, we are influenced in many ways.

Obligations are a kind of shackle.

And freedom bound by shackles is no longer true freedom.

First, what are deepfakes?
Deepfakes are fake videos, images, or audio recordings that are created using artificial intelligence. They can make it look like someone is saying or doing something that they never actually did. As technology improves, deepfakes are becoming more realistic and harder to detect.

Now, let’s look at the causes of deepfakes.
The first cause is the rapid development of AI technology, especially deep learning and GANs — Generative Adversarial Networks. These tools make it easier than ever to create convincing fake content.
The second cause is the huge amount of personal data available online. Anyone can find photos, videos, and voice recordings of people on the internet, and this data can be used to train AI models.
The third cause is motivation. Some people use deepfakes for fun or entertainment, but others use them for harmful purposes like spreading fake news, defaming others, or committing fraud.

These deepfakes can lead to serious problems.
They can spread false information and damage a person’s reputation. They can also be used to influence public opinion, especially during elections. In addition, cybercriminals can use them to steal personal identities or scam people.

So, what can we do to solve this problem?
First, we can develop technology to detect deepfakes. AI tools and algorithms are being created to identify fake videos and audio.
Second, governments should create laws to punish the harmful use of deepfakes. Legal action is important to stop criminals from misusing this technology.
Third, we need to raise public awareness. People should learn how to think critically and check the truth of what they see online.
Lastly, social media platforms must take responsibility. They should detect and remove harmful deepfake content quickly.

In conclusion, deepfakes are a powerful and dangerous tool. But with the right technology, laws, education, and responsibility, we can protect ourselves from their harmful effects.

Thank you for listening.

Today, I would like to talk about the negative impacts that illegal immigrants have on Korean society. There are three main issues I will address: public safety, the labor market, and cultural conflict.

First is the issue of public safety.
Since illegal immigrants are not officially registered with the government, it is difficult to verify their identities. As a result, they may use illegal vehicles or forged identification. For example, last year in Jeju Island, a Chinese illegal immigrant stole approximately 100 million won worth of goods from a jewelry store and fled to China. The suspect has not yet been caught. This case illustrates how difficult it can be to track and arrest illegal immigrants, which leads to growing public concern.

Second is the labor market issue.
Foreign workers, especially those who are undocumented, are often paid lower wages than Korean workers, which can drive down overall wage levels. This creates unfair competition and may negatively affect job opportunities for local workers.

Third is the issue of cultural conflict.
Illegal immigrants and Korean citizens have grown up in different cultural environments, which can lead to conflicts in language, values, and lifestyle. For instance, there have been cases where illegal immigrants played loud music and held parties late at night in residential areas, leading to conflicts with local residents.

Considering these various cases, it is clear that the issue of illegal immigration is a serious problem that must be addressed.

Today, gender conflict has become a serious social issue, frequently appearing in both online and offline spaces. So, what can we do to reduce this conflict?

One possible solution is to recognize each other as equal and deserving of respect. When both men and women strive to understand each other's perspectives, acknowledge differences, and pursue equality, gender conflict can gradually be alleviated. Establishing a culture of healthy communication and mutual respect is essential.

Hayao Miyazaki strongly said, “an insult to life itself,” after seeing a Ghibli-style image generated by ChatGPT.

I will begin my presentation on the topic of AI’s copyright infringement.

The ChatGPT we use learns to draw images by studying countless works floating around on the internet.

However, most of the data it acquires is collected without the creator’s permission.

For example, Hayao Miyazaki considers the very attempt of AI to create as plagiarism that insults humanity.

Here, the question arises:

Are AI-generated images plagiarism or homage?

Homage is a term used when there is respect and admiration toward the original creator.

But AI imitates the art style without the creator’s consent.

This is not homage, but an act that infringes on the creator’s rights.

To prevent such issues, we need to clarify the copyright boundaries of AI training data,

and technologically and legally respond by implementing opt-out systems that allow creators to prevent their works from being used in AI training.

But if we had a clear reason why we need to exercise now, wouldn’t that change our mindset?"

"The teenage years are a time of rapid physical and mental growth. During this important stage, exercise has many positive effects on us."

"First, exercise supports healthy physical development. It strengthens bones and muscles, enhances heart and lung function, and contributes to both height growth and increased stamina."

"Second, exercise helps prevent obesity and disease. As screen time increases with smartphones and computers, many teenagers are becoming less active and gaining weight. Regular physical activity burns calories, prevents obesity, and reduces the risk of many health issues."

"Third, exercise helps develop social skills and self-confidence.

Participating in team sports allows teens to learn communication and teamwork.

Reaching goals through physical activity provides a strong sense of achievement and builds confidence."

"In conclusion, building an exercise habit early in life can help us maintain good health throughout our lives.

Exercise is more than just physical activity — it’s a powerful tool for creating a healthier, happier future.

"How much do you exercise each day? Or have you ever thought, 'It’s too much trouble, so I won’t'?

But if we had a clear reason why we need to exercise now, wouldn’t that change our mindset?"

Personally, I have quite a negative view of the system. Today, I’d like to talk about some of the drawbacks of this policy.

First, the system has created a lot of uncertainty for students when it comes to college admissions. Rather than offering more flexibility in subject choices, it has often limited students’ options.

One of the goals of the system was to increase flexibility by offering a variety of subjects. However, because most students tend to choose popular subjects, less common or “non-mainstream” subjects are often canceled due to low enrollment. As a result, students can’t take courses that are important for their future careers.

For example, at Gwangju High School, the course “History of Science” had to be canceled because not enough students signed up for it.

Another issue is that students are expected to choose their career path as early as their first year of high school. But high school students change a lot during this time, so this kind of pressure has led to a great deal of dissatisfaction. I believe the system should allow more flexibility for students to change their subjects as their interests and goals evolve.

There’s also concern about the change from a 9-level grading system to a 5-level one. This shift may make it harder to differentiate students based on their grades. For example, a GPA of 2.0 in the 9-level system becomes a 1.0 in the 5-level system, which may make it easier for many students to qualify for top universities.

This could lead universities to introduce additional entrance exams, such as school-specific tests, to better distinguish students.

Of course, there are more side effects, but today I focused on the most important ones.

I hope you also take interest in this issue and think critically about it.

That’s the end of my presentation. Thank you for listening.

Maybe you would listen to music or eat spicy food.

Here are some tips to help you manage stress.

First, you need to sort things that you can't change and can change.

Then, you just need to acknowledge and accept the former.

For example, rather than dwelling on the past, let it go and focus on the present and future.

On the other hand, the latter can be changed through effort. For example, if procrastination is a problem, you can work to overcome this habit.

According to experts, people who have hobbies are physically and mentally healthier than those who do not, and have a higher level of satisfaction with life.

Exercise is also one of the best ways to relieve stress. Not only does it reduce stress by producing serotonin, which alleviates emotions and lowers the likelihood of depression, but it also improves physical health. Finally, stopping watching Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts can reduce stress. These videos are entertaining, but according to research, the longer we are exposed to them, the greater the risk of anxiety and mental health deterioration, and the higher the stress levels.

Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but you can make an effort to relieve it. How about trying a small practice of relieving stress by taking a short walk starting today?

But medical environment affects both the patient and the environment.

First, one of the effects on the patient is when the patient is infected in the hospital. It can be infected by contaminated devices, often in hospital, in other patients. The way to solve this problem is for medical personnel to wear protective equipment when treating patients, disinfect hospital equipment cleanly, and reuse disposable equipment. And from the patient’s point of view, they should wash your hands frequently and thoroughly manage your personal items.

Second, the medical environment affects other environments as well as patients, and the problem is the increase in medical waste, which if it is mismanaged, it can cause environmental pollution and risks radiation exposure. The solution to this is to accurately classify and treat infectious and hazardous recyclable waste.

Adam Silver, the NBA Commissioner, is one of the most influential figures who has had a positive impact on the league.
Since he took office in 2014, the NBA's popularity has noticeably increased across various metrics.
What did he do after taking the role that helped transform the NBA into a more progressive, digital, and global brand?

First, he emphasized social responsibility and respect for human rights.
A key example is the Donald Sterling incident, in which the then-owner of the LA Clippers was permanently banned for racist remarks.
This move solidified the NBA's image as a league that values human rights and diversity.

Second, he led innovations in media and streaming.
Examples include improvements to NBA League Pass, the spread of highlight-centered clip content, and significant enhancements to digital streaming platforms beyond traditional TV broadcasts.
As a result, although average game viewing time has decreased due to platforms like YouTube, fan engagement has increased.

Third, through changes and experiments in game structure, he boosted the league's appeal—especially among Gen Z and millennial fans.
Notable examples include the introduction of the In-Season Tournament, the revamped All-Star Game format, and the Play-In Tournament.

As a result of these efforts, the NBA broke its all-time attendance record, significantly increased social media followers, and boosted NBA Store sales by 25%.
Through such transformations, Adam Silver has helped evolve the NBA from a traditional sports league into a global entertainment brand.

As we can see, the Commissioner plays a crucial role in a sports league, and it’s important to recognize that not only players but also those in leadership positions greatly impact the success of the league.

For Example, Adopted as an official sport at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

However, some argue that e-sports are different from traditional sports because in the traditional definition, a sport requires physical exertion. From this perspective, e-sports are criticized for having limited physical activity.

However, as a counterargument, archery, shooting, and chess are also classified as sports, even though they involve limited physical activity. Addiction and health concerns

The addictive nature of gaming and its impact on young people has led some to question its recognition as a sport. Conclusion

Esports can be fully recognized as an extension of modern sports.

Many countries and organizations have classified it as an official sport, especially since it has all the essence of a sport - “competition, rules, skill, and effort” - and it has gained a great deal of social recognition.

To summarize:

Esports may be different from traditional sports, but they are “real sports” that meet the standards of modern sports.

"How COVID-19 changed this market."

1. Before COVID-19 in 2019, there weren't many detailed statistics available.
However, based on surveys conducted by the Korea Creative Content Agency, usage was found to be lower than in 2021, during the pandemic.

2. During the outbreak in 2020, OTT usage increased to 66%, which was a 14% rise compared to the previous year.
Among the services, YouTube had the highest usage rate, and even smartphone ownership among people in their 60s increased.

3. After the pandemic in 2024, OTT usage reached 89%, according to the Korea Creative Content Agency.
Usage exceeded 90% among people in their 50s and younger, and among people in their 20s, it reached a staggering 99%. As OTT content continues to grow, it has become a cultural norm and is expected to expand even further.

That concludes my presentation.
Thank you for listening

We often give up when we face rejection and limits. But some people turn those moments into the start of a challenge. Let’s see how that spirit of challenge created a new path.

Lamborghini was a businessman who made tractors. He found many problems with Ferrari cars and tried to suggest fixes, but he was ignored with the words, “What would a tractor maker know about cars?” That dismissal became his challenge, and he decided to build sports cars himself.

After Lamborghini succeeded with sports cars, Horacio Pagani, who worked there, had conflicts over using carbon fiber. He took on the challenge and started his own brand, Pagani.

This shows us that the spirit of challenge can turn the impossible into possible and open new roads.

Example: Adopted as an official sport at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

Or do you put it off because you're lazy? When we exercise, it brings about great changes to our body and mind.

Let's take a look at what changes it brings.

1. Healthy lifestyle

Waste products in the body are discharged. When you exercise, you sweat, and waste products are discharged along with the sweat, making your body lighter.

2. Increased sociability

Cooperation and communication skills are improved. You can communicate, cooperate, and build friendships while having fun together.

3. Your mind becomes clearer

Stress is relieved and your confidence is improved. You can organize your thoughts and sleep better, so you can maintain a clear mind.

Exercise is a key factor that goes beyond just physical activity and improves overall quality of life, from physical health, mental health, and physiological balance. Steady exercise can prevent diseases.

Exercise has many other beneficial effects as well. Why don't you exercise even 30 minutes a day?

Today, I want to share with you a new and effective way to manage your meals that has been gaining attention recently.
It’s called Time-Restricted Eating.

시각자료:대한비만학회

Body

Topic Sentence 1
Time-Restricted Eating, or TRE, is a type of intermittent fasting.
It means limiting your food intake to a specific period of time each day and fasting during the remaining hours.
According to several studies, TRE shows similar weight-loss effects compared to low-calorie diets that restrict 500 to 1,000 calories per day.
However, the advantage of TRE is that it allows people to choose eating periods that fit their lifestyle and health condition.
Generally, there are two main types:
one starts early in the morning and ends in the early afternoon — this is called early TRE;
the other starts around noon and ends in the evening, around 8 p.m.
The key is to keep your chosen eating cycle consistent for a certain period of time.
By maintaining a steady pattern, your body can adjust its metabolism effectively.
In my own case, I have been practicing early TRE for several months, finishing my last meal in the late afternoon — and I’ve felt real improvements in my energy and focus.

시각자료:https://pin.it/JFfs2lPA4

Topic Sentence 2
Scientific studies, including randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses, have shown that TRE improves metabolic health independently of calorie reduction.
This means even without eating fewer calories, people can see positive changes in insulin sensitivity, blood sugar control, and fat metabolism.
By aligning food intake with our body’s natural rhythm, TRE helps our hormones function more efficiently throughout the day.
However, the results may vary depending on eating duration, timing, and total energy intake.

That’s why personalizing the schedule is important — to maximize both health and weight-loss benefits.

시각자료:https://pin.it/JFfs2lPA4 

Topic Sentence 3
To plan a healthy Time-Restricted Eating schedule, experts recommend keeping your eating window within 8 hours and, if possible, following an early-time pattern.
Still, there’s no strict rule.
The most important thing is to set realistic goals and choose an eating routine that fits your own daily life.
Consistency matters more than perfection.

시각자료:https://pin.it/Owssy4qBu

Conclusion
There are many successful cases of weight control through Time-Restricted Eating, which are well-documented in research published by the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity.
If you’re interested, I highly recommend reading those studies.
Thank you for listening — this concludes my presentation.

Thesis statement:
Let’s explore how the rise of artificial intelligence affects our environment, from the problems it causes to the solution it may offer.

Body

Topic sentence 1:
First, AI uses a lot of energy, which leads to carbon emissions and harms the environment.

Training a large AI model like ChatGPT requires thousands of powerful computers running nonstop for weeks.

As you can imagine, these computers consume massive amounts of electricity — and most of that electricity still comes from fossil fuels.

In fact, one study found that training a single large AI model can emit as much carbon as five cars over their entire lifetimes.

As you can see in this chart, AI’s energy demand is growing rapidly every year.

Topic sentence 2:
However, AI isn’t all bad. It can also help optimize resources by improving efficiency and reducing waste.

For example, in factories, AI systems can analyze data to reduce unnecessary energy use and detect problems before they cause waste.

As you can see here, smart manufacturing systems powered by AI save both energy and materials.

In agriculture, AI-powered drones and sensors can monitor soil and crops, using just the right amount of water and fertilizer.

So, small improvements like these can lead to big environmental benefits.

Topic sentence 3:
Also, AI can improve energy efficiency in power grids, buildings, and renewable energy systems.

As you can see in this diagram, AI connects renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to our daily electricity use.

It can predict how much energy people will use and adjust the power supply to prevent waste.

AI can even control lighting, heating, and cooling in buildings automatically to save electricity.

That’s why AI plays an important role in creating a smarter and more efficient energy system.

 Here, you can see how AI connects renewable energy sources to our daily power use, creating a smarter and more efficient energy system.

Conclusion:
So, as we’ve seen, AI’s environmental impact depends on how we use it.
If we continue to develop and apply AI responsibly, it can become a key tool for creating a sustainable future.
Next time you use ChatGPT or another AI tool, remember — behind every smart answer, there’s energy being used.
Let’s make sure that energy helps, not harms, our planet.

Thank you. 

Opening: These days, many students feel a lot of stress from studying, exams, and relationships at school. Too much stress can make students tired, anxious, and less focused in class. To solve this problem, schools try to provide various programs to help students relax. Among them, school physical activities play an important role in reducing students’ stress and improving their emotional well-being.

Exercise during school, such as physical education classes or sports clubs, allows students to move their bodies, refresh their minds, and feel more positive. According to a study by the Korean Institute of Sport Science (2022), students who actively participate in school physical activities report lower stress levels and higher satisfaction with school life.

Thesis statement: Therefore, school physical activities are an effective way to reduce student stress and improve mental and emotional health.

Body: School physical activities help students reduce stress by improving their physical condition and releasing tension. When students exercise during PE class, their bodies release endorphins, which are chemicals that make them feel relaxed and happy. As a result, students who participate in regular school sports often experience lower stress levels and better mood.

Topic sentence 1: Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety among college students.

Conclusion: In conclusion, school physical activities are essential for helping students manage and reduce stress. By improving physical health, promoting positive emotions, and building stronger social connections, these activities make school life more enjoyable and balanced. Schools should continue to encourage students to participate in regular physical education and sports programs to support both their mental and emotional well-being.

Good morning everyone.

You may already know that there are many overseas Koreans living all around the world. Among them, those who live in China — the Koreans in China, also known as Joseonjok — have had a huge impact on both Korea and China.

They are an ethnic Korean group residing mainly in China’s three northeastern provinces and the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. About 1.8 to 2 million people belong to this community. They serve as an important bridge connecting Korea and China through culture, business, and human exchange.

Thesis Statement

Today, I would like to talk about this question:

“Koreans in China — what kind of influence do they have on us?”

Body

Topic Sentence 1:

In recent years, many news articles have reported crimes involving some Korean Chinese individuals.

If you look at photos here, You can notice that the crime rate among Chinese-Koreans has been increasing recently. (Visual Aid 1: Article on crimes committed by ethnic Koreans in China)

Because of this, some citizens have started to view them with fear or suspicion, creating a negative image of the community.

Topic Sentence 2:

However, It is wrong to look at them only through this negative accidents.

In fact, there are many successful Korean Chinese entrepreneurs who contribute positively to Korea’s economy.

For example, some CEOs of Korean Chinese background run companies that connect Korean and Chinese markets, helping both sides grow. (Visual Aid 2: Photos of business leaders)

Topic Sentence 3:

Let me introduce two examples.

First, Yanbian International Trade Corporation is a major trade company founded by Korean Chinese. It plays a key role in managing imports and exports between Korea and China.

Second, Yanbian Daily Newspaper is a leading Korean-language media outlet in China. It helps preserve Korean culture and identity while delivering important news to the community.

(Visual Aid 3: Photos)

Because of this, some citizens have started to view them with fear or suspicion, creating a negative image of the community.

Conclusion : Rather than forming prejudices about ethnic Koreans in China based solely on negative articles, we should respect them by also recognizing the positive impact they have on us.

Imagine living in a world where every step you take is monitored — not by choice, but by law. In Korea, this isn’t science fiction. It’s reality for certain people under the electronic monitoring system.

So today, I want to ask a simple but important question: Is Korea’s electronic surveillance system truly practical?

Recently, doubts about the effectiveness of Korea’s electronic monitoring system have been growing.

While the system was first introduced to reduce crime and monitor offenders, the public is beginning to question whether it really works or just creates a false sense of safety.

Many media reports show that despite wearing tracking devices, some offenders still commit new crimes.

Next, let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of electronic monitoring devices such as ankle bracelets.

On one hand, these devices can help law enforcement keep track of offenders’ locations in real time, which can prevent potential crimes.

On the other hand, the system has serious flaws — technical errors, battery issues, and even cases where the anklet is deliberately cut off.

Moreover, some argue that constant monitoring violates basic human rights and privacy.

Finally, rather than relying only on electronic anklets, we should consider alternative or complementary systems.

For example, rehabilitation programs, psychological counseling, and community monitoring could reduce repeat crimes more effectively than technology alone.

A balance between control and rehabilitation may lead to a safer and fairer society.

In conclusion, the question remains: Is Korea’s electronic surveillance system truly practical?

It has strengths, but it’s far from perfect.

Technology can track someone’s movement — but not their mind or intentions.

To create a truly safe society, we must combine technology with education, rehabilitation, and human understanding.

Thank you.

Thesis statement:
Today, I will talk about how self-awareness and awareness of others can change our lives.
We will look at three main ideas shown in the slides.

Body

Topic sentence 1:
First, self-awareness helps us understand who we are.
시각자료 1:
In the first picture, we see a mirror. It shows the idea of looking inside ourselves.
Before we can change, we must know our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
When we know what makes us happy and what holds us back, we can make better choices for our life.

Topic sentence 2:
Second, awareness of others helps us grow through empathy.
시각자료 2:
The second picture shows people talking and sharing.
This reminds us that we learn a lot when we understand others.
When we listen and care about how other people feel, we see the world in new ways.
This makes our relationships stronger and our hearts kinder.

Topic sentence 3:
Finally, when we have both self-awareness and awareness of others, we can succeed in life.
시각자료 3:
The third picture shows a successful person standing proudly.
This image means that real success comes from balance — knowing yourself and understanding others.
When we are confident about who we are and treat others with respect, success becomes natural.
True success is not only about money or fame. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself while helping others grow too.

Conclusion:
To change your life, you don’t need to start big.
You just need to be aware — of yourself and of others.
When we understand ourselves and care for people around us, we make the world a better place.
Change begins from inside, and it grows when we share it with others.

In this speech, I will introduce whether electric cars are genuinely eco-friendly, by exploring their energy efficiency, production emissions, and a comparison with hydrogen cars.

 First, electric cars are environmentally friendly in terms of energy efficiency.
Electric vehicles convert about 87 to 91 percent of their battery energy into motion. In contrast, gasoline cars use only around 16 to 25 percent of the energy stored in fuel.
This means electric cars waste much less energy and emit no exhaust gas while driving.
This efficiency difference makes EVs a powerful solution for reducing overall energy consumption.

시각자료출처 : https://mobislive.com/service/mobilityview.html?page=1&id=1500&code=8&category=8&subcategory=3&series=65&main=Y

 Second, it is often said that electric cars emit a lot of carbon dioxide during the production process, especially when making batteries. But this belief is not entirely true.
Recent studies show that while battery production does create CO₂, the total emissions over the entire life of an EV — from production to driving — are still much lower than those of gasoline cars.
In fact, as more renewable energy is used in manufacturing, the carbon footprint of EV production continues to decrease every year.

 Finally, compared to hydrogen cars, electric cars are actually more eco-friendly at the current stage.
Producing hydrogen fuel requires large amounts of electricity, often generated from fossil fuels. This process leads to significant carbon emissions.
  On the other hand, electric cars can be charged directly with renewable energy such as solar or wind power, making them the cleaner and more sustainable option.

시각자료출처 : https://news.nate.com/view/20190304n02693

 In conclusion, while no car is completely emission-free, electric vehicles are clearly one of the best choices we have today for protecting our planet.
They are energy-efficient, produce less carbon over their lifetime, and are greener than hydrogen cars under current technology.
So next time you see an electric car on the road, remember — it’s not just a vehicle. It’s a step toward a cleaner and smarter future.

Thank you.

Good morning, everyone. Have you ever imagined a world where robots are part of your everyday life? Well, that world is no longer in the future — it’s happening right now. From the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, robots quietly assist us in many ways, making our lives easier, safer, and more efficient.

Thesis Statement:

Today, I will talk about how robots impact our daily lives in three main areas: home life, workplaces, and public services.

Body

Topic Sentence 1:

First, robots are transforming our home life by providing convenience and comfort.
시각자료 1:
(Visual: Picture of a robot vacuum cleaning the floor)
For example, robot vacuum cleaners and smart home assistants help us save time and energy. They can clean the house, control the lights, and even remind us of our daily schedule. These robots allow us to focus on more meaningful activities, such as spending time with family or studying.

Topic Sentence 2:

Second, robots play an important role in workplaces, especially in industries and hospitals.
시각자료 2:
(Visual: Image of a robotic arm working in a factory or a robot assisting in surgery)
In factories, industrial robots work quickly and precisely, helping to produce goods efficiently. In hospitals, surgical robots assist doctors in performing complex operations with high accuracy. Thanks to these robots, productivity and safety have both increased.

Topic Sentence 3:

Lastly, robots are improving public services and helping in dangerous situations.
시각자료 3:
(Visual: Picture of a rescue robot or delivery robot on the street)
For instance, rescue robots are used to search for survivors after earthquakes or fires. Delivery robots and drones are also becoming common, helping deliver food and packages quickly without human contact. These robots make our communities safer and more convenient.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, robots are no longer just science fiction — they are real partners in our daily lives. They help us at home, at work, and even in public safety. As technology continues to develop, robots will become even more advanced and helpful. However, we must also remember to use them wisely and responsibly. The future with robots depends on how we choose to live with them — not as replacements for humans, but as partners that make life better for all of us.

Thank you for listening.

Harmony happens when two or more notes are played together and sound pleasant to our ears. It creates a sense of stability and peace. For example, when you play a C major chord on a piano, the notes C, E, and G blend smoothly.
(https://www.scales-chords.com/chord-charts/piano-C-c-n-l-C-E-G.jpg)
Harmony is the foundation of most songs we listen to — from pop to classical. It gives music structure and makes melodies sound fuller and richer.

Dissonance, on the other hand, is when notes clash or sound tense together. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s actually very important. Dissonance creates emotion, drama, and movement in music. Without it, songs would sound flat and predictable.
(https://piano-ology.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/piano-ology-chords-consonance-dissonance-featured.jpg)
Composers often use dissonance to express feelings like sadness, surprise, or suspense — and then resolve it back into harmony to give a sense of relief.

When harmony and dissonance come together, music becomes truly alive. Harmony provides balance, while dissonance brings excitement. Great composers, like Beethoven or modern film scorers, use this contrast to tell stories through sound.
Just like in life, moments of tension make the peaceful parts more meaningful.

In conclusion, harmony and dissonance are not opposites — they complete each other. Harmony gives us comfort, and dissonance gives us depth. Together, they teach us that even in music, beauty often comes from balance and contrast.
Thank you for listening.
