I would like to introduce Paulo Freire's seminal work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed".

Let me introduce three powerful lines from the book and tell you how they connect to my own life.

First, "Oppression means violence has already begun."

Secend, "True generosity fights root causes, not false charity."

Finally, "Humanization is the ongoing struggle against oppression."

True generosity fights the root causes of inequality. I will encourage students to seek systemic change.

Thank you for listening to my presentation so far.

Subtitle: Respecting Traditions Around the World

By: Kim Jian  Date: October 17, 2025

Lead:

When people travel abroad, they often forget that good manners can mean different things in every country.

Body 1:

In Japan, people bow instead of shaking hands. In France, greeting with a kiss on the cheek is common. However, in some Asian country, this can be seen as too personal. Understanding local customs help travelers avoid mistakes.

Body 2:

In Middle East, showing the bottom of your feet is rude. Also, tipping rules changes from country to country. Being polite means learning before you go.

I think (knowing other cultures’ manners make travel more meaningful).

Subtitle: How Technology Is Changing the Way We Think About Morality

By: Jung Yunho

Date: October 17, 2025

---

Lead Sentence:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing faster than ever, but along with its great benefits, many ethical questions are rising about how humans should control it.

---

Detail 1:

AI has become an important part of modern society. From self-driving cars to medical diagnosis, it helps people live more comfortable lives. However, as AI grows smarter, some experts worry about privacy and job loss. For example, AI systems can collect massive amounts of personal data without the user’s clear permission. This data can be used in ways that people do not expect or want.

---

Detail 2:

Another issue is the responsibility when AI makes mistakes. If an AI car cause an accident, who is responsible—the programmer, the company, or the AI itself? These kinds of problems show that technology is moving faster than our laws. Schools and governments around the world are now trying to teach students about AI ethics to prepare for this new era.

---

Quote (Interview):

“AI is not just a tool,” said Dr. Kim Soojin, a computer science professor at Seoul National University. “It reflects the values of the people who create it, so we must think carefully about how it learns and what decisions it makes.”

---

Conclusion:

AI has already changed our world, but it also create new ethical problems such as privacy invasion, data bias, and unfair decision-making. To solve these issues, we need stronger laws, transparent algorithms, and more education about responsible AI use. Only then can technology truly serve humanity instead of controling it.

Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes instead of liquid ones. If they become common, cars will charge faster, last longer, and be more safety for environment.

Subtitle: How daily phone habits are changing the way we learn and live

By: Lee Soyul

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence:

Smartphones are now an essential part of every teenager’s life, but their influence on study and daily habits is becoming a serious issue.

Body Paragraph 1:

Many high school students use smartphones for studying, searching information, and communicating with friends. However, using phones too much can decrease focus and make students tired during class. A recent survey showed that 78% of teenagers check their phones more than ten times a hour, even when they are doing homework.

Body Paragraph 2:

Teachers also worry that smartphones make students less social. Instead of talking face to face, many teens spend their free time scrolling through social media or playing games. This can affect not only their grades but also their relationships with family and friends. Some students said they feel anxious when they are not online, which shows how strong the smartphone’s impact is on mental health.

Interview Quote:

“I used to read books before bed, but now I always watch short videos,” said a 16-year-old student from Seoul. “It’s hard to stop, even when I know it’s late.”

Conclusion (My Opinion):

In my opinion, smartphones are helpful tools if we use them wisely. But many students don’t control their time well. Schools and families should teach teenagers how to balance study and phone use. I believe learning self-control is more important than just banning smartphones.

Subtitle: As More People Use Used-Item Apps, Safety Problems Also Rise

By: Shin Yoon Ah

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence:

Online secondhand trading is becoming very popular in Korea. However, more users also means more problems, like scam and safety issues.

Detail 1:

Many people use apps like Carrot Market or Joonggonara to buy and sell things. It is easy and cheap, so even students use it often. But police reports show that crimes in online trading has been increasing every year. Some sellers disappear after getting money, and some buyers try to cheat by sending fake payment messages.

Subtitle: Can quick clips change how teens pay attention?

By: Lee Ji-eun

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead

Short-form videos like TikTok and YouTube Shorts are very popular among teenagers. But many experts worry they are making it harder for teens to focus.

Detail 1

A recent study shows that many teenagers watch these videos for over one hour a day. After watching, students feel it’s difficult to concentrate on homework or reading. The fast pace of videos may cause the brain to want quick rewards, making longer tasks boring.

Detail 2

Psychologists say these videos release dopamine, which makes people want to watch more. This can lower patience for slow activities. Still, teens do not want to stop watching short videos.

Quote (Interview)

“I watch short videos before study, but then I can’t focus,” said student Park Joon.

Conclusion

To avoid addiction, students should limit screen time and take breaks. Parents can help by encouraging offline activities.

Will robots become our new teachers?

By Son Taeung — October 17, 2025

---

Lead Sentence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing very fast. Some people believe that AI can replace human teachers in the future. But is it really possible?

---

Detail 1

Today, AI is already used in classrooms. For example, students can learn math and English with AI learning programs. AI can answer question very quickly and give feedback right away. Many schools around the world are testing these new tools.

---

Detail 2

However, AI still have limits. AI can teach information, but it can’t understand human feelings well. When a student feels sad or confuse, AI can’t help like a real teacher does. Real teachers know how to care and support their students.

---

Interview

“We use AI in our class, but I still need my teacher,” said Minji, a middle school student. “When I don’t understand something, she explain it with kindness. AI just give answers.”

---

Closing

In my opinion, the role of a teacher is not just to teach study. Teachers also help students adapt to school life by making emotional connection. Because of this, I think AI cannot fully replace teachers. AI can be a good helper, but not a real teacher.

The Secret Plan: How Korean Companies Win Globally

By Reporter Park Tae Hyeon

October 17, 2025

Korean companies like Samsung and Blackpink are famous worldwide. Their success has three smart strategies:

1. Localization and Speed: They change products (like bigger dumplings) to fit local tastes. They are also very quick to follow new trends.

2. K-Culture Power: K-Pop and K-Dramas help promote Korean goods globally. Companies use social media challenges to make their products popular fast through word-of-mouth.

3. Quality First: Experts say great quality and heavy R&D investment are the best strategy. An excellent product is always the beginning.

I realized they did not just get lucky! I want to study these successful companies more for my future career path.

Lead sentence:

Diet supplements are becoming popular among young people, but experts warn that some claims are not fully proven by science.

Detail 1:

Most products include ingredients like caffeine, L-carnitine, or green tea extract, known to boost metabolism slightly.

[However, the real effect usually depends on each person’s body and lifestyle.]

Detail 2:

Clinical studies show that only a few supplements help with fat burning, and the result is often temporary.

[Some companies describe their products as “scientifically tested,” but data are too limited.]

Quote (Interview):

Subtitle: How False Stories Spread in Our Neighborhoods

By: 조서진

Date: 2025-10-17

Lead

Many people trust news shared by neighbors or local online groups, but sometimes these stories are not true. When fake news spreads in a community, it can makes serious problems.

Detail 1: Small Rumors, Big Impact

In one town, a message spread online saying that a local market was selling expired foods. The post was shared quickly on a community app. Many people stop visiting the store, even though no proof was found. Later, the store owner said he was shocking because his business dropped so much in just one week. This shows how a simple rumor can hurt real people.

Detail 2: Why Do People Believe It?

Fake news often use strong words or emotional stories. Some readers don’t check the source, so they believe it immediatly. Also, when a friend or family member shares it, people trust it more. Experts say that checking facts before sharing is the best protecktion.

Interview

“I saw a post saying there was a dangerous person near our school,” said a middle school student. “Everyone were scared and parents didn’t let us go out. Later, we found out it was not true at all.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

These days, false news spreads very fast on SNS and other online places. I think it is very important to tell what is real and what is fake. By writing this, I wanted to show that we need to build a habit of checking information the right way. Only then can our community stay safe and trusted.

How Young People Strengthen Our Communities

By Lee Soo-ah

October 17, 2025

Teenage volunteering is making a big difference in communities. It improves neighborhoods, builds important skills, and brings people closer together. This article explores how youth volunteering positively affects local communities.

Improving Neighborhoods

Teen volunteers contribute to their communities in many ways. They clean parks, serve at food banks, or tutor younger students. For example, in Busan, teens often join beach cleanup programs to keep the coast beautiful. This not only make the environment cleaner but also encourage community pride. These efforts show that young people can make a real impact. By volunteering, teens inspire others to get involved, creating stronger and more united neighborhoods.

Growing Through Volunteering

Volunteering also helps teens develop as individuals. They learn skills like teamwork, planning, and leadership by working on community projects. For instance, organizing a food drive teach teens how to manage tasks and solve problems. These skills is valuable for their future. Helping others build teens’ confidence and sense of purpose. When teens see the difference they make, they feel motivated to keep helping.

A Voice from a Volunteer

“I’ve volunteered at a local library for a year,” says Park Ji-hoon, a high school student. “Helping kids with reading is rewarding, and I’ve learned how to be patient and organized. It’s tiring sometimes, but I love seeing the kids smile.”

Conclusion

Teenage volunteering creates cleaner, stronger, and more connected communities while helping young people grow into better leaders. In my opinion, volunteering is a fantastic way for teens to contribute to society and discover their own strengths. It teaches us responsibility and shows us we can make a difference. I believe every teenager should try volunteering to help others and grow personally. Let’s keep supporting youth to get involved!

Engaging young people in politics is crucial for a healthy democracy and for shaping the future. This report explains why the voices of youth are vital for better policies and a more inclusive society, helping to build trust in our public institutions.

Why Young Voices Matter

Political involvement is a basic right and helps create peaceful societies and policies that meet the needs of young people. Although a quarter of the world's population is between 15 and 35, youth are often left out of political processes. When young people cannot participate, a large group has no say in decisions that affect them, which weakens our democracy. Allowing young people to participate brings democratic values to life and can improve their academic success and well-being. Youth participation throughout the electoral process results in positive outcomes for both young people and societies as a whole.

Benefits of Youth in Politics

Including young people in politics makes institutions stronger and policies better. When youth help design policies, services become more effective. For example, children's involvement in city planning leads to better urban design, like safer school routes. Their participation gives them a sense of ownership and can lead to more engaged adults. In difficult times, youth involvement is key for democratic stability. A global youth survey, "Be Seen Be Heard," conducted in December 2021, indicated that respondents aged 15-17 were the most optimistic about the future, with 67% believing in a better future.

Interview: A Student's View

"Young people should lead global change," a high school student shared. They emphasized, "It's important for politicians to listen to us because we will live with the long-term effects of their decisions. We bring new ideas for climate change and social justice. If we get the chance, we can make a big difference for a better future".

Conclusion

It is essential that young people are engaged in political processes and have a say in formulating today's and tomorrow's politics. Giving young people a voice helps revitalize democracy and ensures policies meet everyone's needs. Therefore, their meaningful participation is not just fair, but necessary for building stronger, more inclusive societies ready for the future.

How the First Meal of the Day Shapes Our Brain

By Lee Chae Eun

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence

Many teenagers skip breakfast, but new research show that eating in the morning may help students focus better in class.

Detail 1

Studies from nutrition experts have found that breakfast provides glucose, the main source of energy for the brain. Glucose is critical because the brain uses almost 20% of the body’s total energy, even though it is only about 2% of body weight. When teenagers eat a balanced meal in the morning, their memory and concentration often improve. Skipping breakfast, on the other hand, can cause low blood sugar, making it harder to pay attention during lessons.

Detail 2

Breakfast also influences mood and brain chemicals. Certain foods, like whole grains and fruits, help release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are connected to motivation and stable emotions. Students who eat regularly in the morning usually report feeling less tired and more motivated to study. Without this fuel, teenagers may feel sleepy, unfocused, or even irritated in class.

Quote (Interview)

“I always thought breakfast was not important,” said a 16-year-old high school student. “But after I started eating eggs and rice in the morning, I noticed I can concentrate much better, specially during math class.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

In my view, breakfast is not only a health habit but also a key to better learning. If more students eat before school, they will have stronger brains and better focus. I believe every teenager should take breakfast serious, because it really supports our mind.

Subtitle: How our food choices hurt the Earth

Written by: Lee Seo-yoon

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence:

Many people throw away food every day, but they don’t know how big the problem really is.

Detail 1:

Around the world, a lot of food is wasted every year. When food is thrown away, it also waste the water and energy that were used to make it. In the trash, old food makes gas that is bad for the air and the Earth. If we keep wasting food, the Earth will get hotter and dirtier.

Detail 2:

Our shopping habits also change the problem. Some people buy too much food and then don’t eat it. Others choose food with too much plastic package. In Korea, people are learning to buy only what they need and to throw food waste in the right place. But some people doesn’t do it, so the problem still continues.

Quotation (Interview):

“I didn’t care about food waste before,” said Park Minji, a 17-year-old student. “Now I try to finish my meals and buy less food. It’s not hard, but it helps the Earth.”

Conclusion (My Opinion):

I think everyone can help by wasting less food. We can start by taking only what we can eat and saving leftovers. If each person changes a little, we can make a big change for the world.

Subtitle: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility

By: Choi Minseong

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Paragraph

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a part of our everyday life, from chatbots to self-driving cars. But as AI grows more powerful, many people are asking: how much control should humans have, and what rules are really needed?

Detail 1

AI can help solve many problems, such as climate change, healthcare, and traffic management. For example, hospitals use AI to detect diseases faster than doctors. However, AI can also make mistakes or be used in harmful ways. If AI programs learn from biased data, they can make unfair decisions that effect real people’s lives.

Detail 2

Governments around the world are trying to make laws for AI. In 2023, the European Union created the AI Act, the first large rule system to control how AI is used. The law classifies AI systems by their risk level, from low to unacceptable. Other countries like the United States and South Korea are also discussing how to make similar rules, but there is no global agreement yet.

Interview Quote

“We must not stop developing AI,” said Professor Kim Haneul from Seoul National University. “But we also must make sure it respect human values and rights.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

I think AI needs both freedom and control. Too much regulation can stop innovation, but no rules can cause danger. We should build a system that protect people while allowing new technology to grow. In the future, I hope AI will be used with wisdom and fairness.

Subtitle: How Social Media Shapes the Way We See Ourselves

By Jeon Eun Seo | Date: October 17, 2025

Lead

Social networking services (SNS) have become a big part of teenagers’ everyday lives. From sharing selfies to reading others’ posts, SNS can change how young people feel about themselves.

Body 1

According to several studies, many teenagers compare their lives with what they see online. When they see perfect pictures or successful stories, some feel less confident or unhappy about their own life. A research from the Korea Youth Institute shows that more than 60% of students said SNS affects their self-esteem.

However, SNS also helps students connect with friends and express their feelings freely. It gives a place to share creativity, hobbies, and daily moments.

Body 2

Experts say the effect depends on how teenagers use SNS. If they use it to get only likes and followers, they might feel stress or anxiety. But when they use it for learning or communication, it can be helpful. Some teachers encourages students to share study tips or support each other online. Still, too much time on SNS can make students forget about real conversations and outdoor activities.

Interview Quote

“I used to care too much about how many likes I got,” said Minji, a 16-year-old student. “Now I try to use SNS to talk with friends and get positive energy instead.”

Conclusion

SNS culture has many influence on teenagers’ self-esteem, both positive and negative. It can make young people feel connected, but also insecure. I want to know more about what kind of influences SNS has on us, and how we can use it in a positive way to build confidence instead of losing it.

Subtitle: Increasing daily smartphone use among teens raises health and social concerns

By: Lua Reporter

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence: Teenagers are spending more time on their smartphones each day, causing sleep deprivation, reduced focus, and social disconnection.

Detail 1: Studies show that the average daily smartphone use among adolescents has steadily risen over the past few years. Despite growing concerns, few institutional measures exist to guide healthy usage habits.

Detail 2: Experts argue that encouraging responsible smartphone use should involve not only teenagers’ self-control but also support from parents, schools, and society. Programs and policies are being discussed to reduce excessive screen time.

Quote (Interview): “Without proper limits, teenagers risk academic difficulties and weaker personal relationships,” said an education specialist. Schools and parents need to play an active role in monitoring and guiding smartphone usage.

Conclusion (My Opinion): (I think society should provide structured guidance so that teenagers can enjoy technology without harming their health or social life.)

The Secret Plan: How Korean Companies Win Globally

By Reporter Park Tae Hyeon

October 17, 2025

Korean companies like Samsung and Blackpink are famous worldwide. Their success relies on three smart strategies:

1. Localization and Speed: They change products (like bigger dumplings) to fit local tastes. They are also very quick to follow new trends.

2. K-Culture Power: K-Pop and K-Dramas help promote Korean goods globally. Companies use social media trends to make their products popular fast through word-of-mouth.

3. Quality First: Experts say great quality and heavy R&D investment are the best strategy. An excellent product is always the beginning.

In the fast-growing world of technology, semiconductors have become the brain of artificial intelligence, driving innovations in every field. AI systems need huge amounts of data to learn, and this process requires high-performance chips. Semiconductors are used in AI servers, smartphones, and even self-driving cars. As AI becomes more advanced, the demand for faster and smaller chips is rising rapidly.

Korea is one of the leading countries in semiconductor technology. Companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are developing AI chips that can process information more efficiently. These chips reduce power use and increase the speed of AI training.

“Without semiconductors, there is no AI,” said Professor Kim from Seoul National University. “The development of smarter chips will decide who leads the next digital revolution.”

In my opinion, AI and semiconductors will continue to grow together. I believe that learning about chip science is very important for our generation. As a student, I hope to study this field and help Korea stay strong in the AI era.

How Young People Strengthen Our Communities

By Lee Soo-ah

October 17, 2025

Teenage volunteering is making a big difference in communities. It improves neighborhoods, builds important skills, and brings people closer together. This article explores how youth volunteering positively affects local communities.

Improving Neighborhoods

Teen volunteers contribute to their communities in many ways. They clean parks, serve at food banks, or tutor younger students. For example, in Busan, teens often join beach cleanup programs to keep the coast beautiful. This not only makes the environment cleaner but also encourages community pride. These efforts show that young people can make a real impact. By volunteering, teens inspire others to get involved, creating stronger and more united neighborhoods.

Growing Through Volunteering

Volunteering also helps teens develop as individuals. They learn skills like teamwork, planning, and leadership by working on community projects. For instance, organizing a food drive teach teens how to manage tasks and solve problems. These skills are valuable for their future. Helping others builds teens’ confidence and sense of purpose. When teens see the difference they make, they feel motivated to keep helping.

A Voice from a Volunteer

“I’ve volunteered at a local library for a year,” says Park Ji-hoon, a high school student. “Helping kids with reading is rewarding, and I’ve learned how to be patient and organized. It’s tiring sometimes, but I love seeing the kids smile.”

Conclusion

Teenage volunteering creates cleaner, stronger, and more connected communities while helping young people grow into better leaders. In my opinion, volunteering is a fantastic way for teens to contribute to society and discover their own strengths. It teaches us responsibility and shows us we can make a difference. I believe every teenager should try volunteering to help others and grow personally. Let’s keep supporting youth to get involved!

Subtitle: How our food choices hurt the Earth

Lead Sentence:

Many people throw away food every day, but they don’t know how big the problem really is.

Detail 1:

Around the world, a lot of food is wasted every year. When food is thrown away, it also wastesthe water and energy that were used to make it. In the trash, old food makes gas that is bad for the air and the Earth. If we keep wasting food, the Earth will get hotter and dirtier.

Detail 2:

Our shopping habits also change the problem. Some people buy too much food and then don’t eat it. Others choose food with too much plastic packaging. In Korea, people are learning to buy only what they need and to throw food waste in the right place. But some people don’t do it, so the problem still continues.

Quotation (Interview):

“I didn’t care about food waste before,” said Park Minji, a 17-year-old student. “Now I try to finish my meals and buy less food. It’s not hard, but it helps the Earth.”

Conclusion (My Opinion):

I think everyone can help by wasting less food. We can start by taking only what we can eat and saving leftovers. If each person changes a little, we can make a big change for the world.

Subtitle: How Social Media Shapes the Way We See Ourselves

By Jeon Eun Seo | Date: October 17, 2025

Lead

Social networking services (SNS) have become a big part of teenagers’ everyday lives. From sharing selfies to reading others’ posts, SNS can change how young people feel about themselves.

Body 1

According to several studies, many teenagers compare their lives with what they see online. When they see perfect pictures or successful stories, some feel less confident or unhappy about their own life. Research from the Korea Youth Institute shows that more than 60% of students said SNS affects their self-esteem.

However, SNS also helps students connect with friends and express their feelings freely. It gives a place to share creativity, hobbies, and daily moments.

Body 2

Experts say the effect depends on how teenagers use SNS. If they use it to get only likes and followers, they might feel stress or anxiety. But when they use it for learning or communication, it can be helpful. Some teachers encourage students to share study tips or support each other online. Still, too much time on SNS can make students forget about real conversations and outdoor activities.

Interview Quote

“I used to care too much about how many likes I got,” said Minji, a 16-year-old student. “Now I try to use SNS to talk with friends and get positive energy instead.”

Conclusion

SNS culture has many influences on teenagers’ self-esteem, both positive and negative. It can make young people feel connected, but also insecure. I want to know more about what kind of influences SNS has on us, and how we can use it in a positive way to build confidence instead of losing it.

Short-form videos like TikTok and YouTube Shorts are very popular among teenagers. But many experts worry they are making it harder for teens to focus.

Detail 1

A recent study shows that many teenagers watch these videos for over one hour a day. After watching, students feel it’s difficult to concentrate on homework or reading. The fast pace of videos may cause the brain to want quick stimulation, making longer tasks boring.

Detail 2

Psychologists say these videos release dopamine, which makes people want to watch more. This can reduce the patience for slow activities. Still, teens do not want to stop watching short videos.

Quote (Interview)

“I watch short videos before studying, but then I can’t focus,” said student Park Joon.

Conclusion

To avoid addiction, students should limit screen time and take breaks. Parents can help by encouraging offline activities.

Cultured Meat: A New Chapter in Food

Subtitle

How lab-grown meat is changing production, regulation, and ethics

Byline

만든이 최서진  Date: 2025-10-17

Lead sentence (Lead)

Cultured meat offer real animal meat that is grown from animal cells instead of from whole animals, and it could change how people eat and how food is produced.

Detailed explanation 1 — What cultured meat is and how it is made

Cultured meat (also called cultivated or cell-cultured meat) is produced by taking a small sample of animal cells and growing them in a controlled facility. Researchers have develop methods to make muscle and fat tissue in large vessels using nutrient solutions and careful control of temperature and oxygen. This process avoids raising and slaughtering animals while producing meat that is biologically similar to conventional meat.

Detailed explanation 2 — Regulation, industry progress, and challenges

Several companies and countries have taken important regulatory steps. In Singapore, Eat Just (Good Meat) received initial approval to sell cultivated chicken in 2020 and later gained approvals for serum-free production processes. In the United States, regulatory agencies (FDA and USDA/FSIS) established a joint framework and in mid-2023 inspection and label approvals were granted for certain facilities making cell-cultivated chicken. European companies such as Mosa Meat have filed applications and conducted pre-approval tastings as they seek market entry in the EU. Key challenges remain: scaling production, lowering costs, ensuring consistent taste and texture, and gaining consumer acceptance.

Quotation (Interview-style excerpt)

“We grow our meat from real animal cells,” said a company statement about cultivated chicken, noting that the process is similar to brewing — but for animal cells.

Conclusion — Opinion (my view)

Is cultured meat necessarily good? It offers clear benefits: it can reduce the need for animal slaughter, lower some environmental pressures compared with conventional farming, and provide a path to produce protein in urban or limited-land settings. Concerns I have include: whether production will become affordable for ordinary consumers, how labels and regulation will protect transparency, and how countries will manage food safety and ethics as the industry grows. Overall, cultured meat is an important technological advance with both promise and real challenges; it is not an automatic solution to all problems in food systems.

Subtitle: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility

By: Choi Minseong

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Paragraph

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a part of our everyday life, from chatbots to self-driving cars. But as AI grows more powerful, many people are asking: how much control should humans have, and what rules are really needed?

Detail 1

AI can help solve many problems, such as climate change, healthcare, and traffic management. For example, hospitals use AI to detect diseases faster than doctors. However, AI can also make mistakes or be used in harmful ways. If AI programs learn from biased data, they can make unfair decisions that affect real people’s lives.

Detail 2

Governments around the world are trying to make laws for AI. In 2023, the European Union created the AI Act, the first large rule system to control how AI is used. The law classifies AI systems by their risk level, from low to unacceptable. Other countries like the United States and South Korea are also discussing how to make similar rules, but there is no global agreement yet.

Interview Quote

> “We must not stop developing AI,” said Professor Kim Haneul from Seoul National University. “But we also must make sure it respects human values and rights.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

I think AI needs both freedom and control. Too much regulation can stop innovation, but no rules can cause danger. We should build a system that protects people while allowing new technology to grow. In the future, I hope AI will be used with wisdom and fairness.

Engaging young people in politics is crucial for a healthy democracy and for shaping the future. This report explains why the voices of youth are vital for better policies and a more inclusive society, which helps to build trust in our public institutions.

Why Young Voices Matter

Political involvement is a basic right and helps create peaceful societies and policies that meet the needs of young people. Although a quarter of the world's population is between 15 and 35, youth are often left out of political processes. When young people cannot participate, a large group has no say in decisions that affect them, which weakens our democracy. Allowing young people to participate brings democratic values to life and can improve their academic success and well-being. Youth participation throughout the electoral process results in positive outcomes for both young people and societies as a whole.

Benefits of Youth in Politics

Including young people in politics makes institutions stronger and policies better. When youth help design policies, services become more effective. For example, children's involvement in city planning leads to better urban design, such as safer school routes. Their participation gives them a sense of ownership and can lead to more engaged adults. In difficult times, youth involvement is key for democratic stability. A global youth survey, "Be Seen Be Heard," conducted in December 2021, indicated that respondents aged 15-17 were the most optimistic about the future, with 67% believing in a better future.

Interview: A Student's View

"Young people should lead global change," a high school student shared. They emphasized, "It's important for politicians to listen to us because we will live with the long-term effects of their decisions. We bring new ideas for climate change and social justice. If we get the chance, we can make a big difference for a better future."

Conclusion

It is essential that young people are engaged in political processes and have a say in formulating today's and tomorrow's politics. Giving young people a voice helps revitalize democracy and ensures policies meet everyone's needs. Therefore, their meaningful participation is not just fair, but necessary for building stronger, more inclusive societies ready for the future.

Breakfast and Teenagers’ Concentration

How the First Meal of the Day Shapes Our Brain

By Lee Chae Eun

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence

Many teenagers skip breakfast, but new research shows that eating in the morning may help students focus better in class.

Detail 1

Studies from nutrition experts have found that breakfast provides glucose, the main source of energy for the brain. Glucose is critical because the brain uses almost 20% of the body’s total energy, even though it is only about 2% of body weight. When teenagers eat a balanced meal in the morning, their memory and concentration often improve. Skipping breakfast, on the other hand, can cause low blood sugar, making it harder to pay attention during lessons.

Detail 2

Breakfast also influences mood and brain chemicals. Certain foods, like whole grains and fruits, help release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are connected to motivation and stable emotions. Students who eat regularly in the morning usually report feeling less tired and more motivated to study. Without this fuel, teenagers may feel sleepy, unfocused, or even irritated in class.

Quote (Interview)

“I always thought breakfast was not important,” said a 16-year-old high school student. “But after I started eating eggs and rice in the morning, I noticed I can concentrate much better, especially during math class.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

In my view, breakfast is not only a health habit but also a key to better learning. If more students eat before school, they will have stronger brains and better focus. I believe every teenager should take breakfast seriously, because it really supports our mind.

​A Look at the Tough Reality for Graduates in Seoul and Beyond

​By: [Your Name] (000)

Date: October 23, 2025

​Lead Sentence (리드 문장):

​Even though South Korea is one of the world's most economic successful countries, many young people finishing college are struggling to find a stable job that matches their high expectations and education. This "job difficulty" (취업난) is not just about a lack of jobs, but a serious mismatch between what graduates want and what the job market offers.

​Detail 1: The Gap Between Big Companies and Smaller Ones (상세 설명 1)

​Most Korean students study very hard and compete fiercely to get into top universities. The main reason is that a degree from a prestigious school is often the easiest ticket to a job at one of the few large companies (Chaebols) or in the government. These big companies offer much higher wages, better benefits, and stronger job security compared to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

​Because over 90 percent of companies in Korea are SMEs, there are simply not enough jobs in the big firms for everyone. This creates an overly competitive situation, where students feeling pressure to get into those small number of "good jobs." Many young Koreans prefer to stay unemployed than take a job at an SME with lower pay and fewer benefits.

​Detail 2: Education Mismatch and Demographic Pressure (상세 설명 2)

​Korea has the highest percentage of people aged 25 to 34 with a university degree among OECD countries. This high level of education is a great thing, but it also creates a problem: there are not enough professional or high-skilled jobs to go around.

​Also, the country faces a demographic crisis due to the world's lowest birth rate. This means there are fewer young people overall entering the workforce. Strangely, while college graduates struggle for office jobs, many essential industries like manufacturing and healthcare have a labor shortage because young people do not want those jobs. This mismatch between skills and available work is a central part of the problem.

​Quote (인용문 - 인터뷰):

​"I studied business administration for four years and have perfect TOEIC score," said Kim Min-ji (23), a recent graduate from a university in Seoul. "I am apply to over 50 large companies, but I only received rejection letters. I feel like all my hard work was for nothing. My friends and me all feels this way."

​Conclusion (마무리):

​The job crisis for Korean youth is a complicated puzzle of economic structure, education, and demographics. To truly solve this problem, Korea needs to do more than just make a new jobs. It must find ways to make smaller companies more attractive by improving wages and working conditions, and encourage students to explore a wider range of career paths.

​My Opinion (나의 의견): The government needs to give more support to small companies to help them pay better, so that young people will not feel they only have one choice for a good career.

Lead:

Scientists are developing new nuclear fusion fuels that could give Earth safe and endless energy.

---

Detail 1:

Old fusion uses deuterium and tritium but makes radioactive waste. The new fuels, like helium-3 and boron-11, are cleaner but very hard to control. The plasma must stay stable at ultra-high temperature.

---

Detail 2:

Projects like ITER and KSTAR are testing new materials and magnets to keep the reaction safe. If success, fusion could replace fossil fuels and stop carbon emission problem.

Quote:

Dr. Lee said, “Fusion is not only science — it’s the hope of all people.”

---

Conclusion (My Opinion):

I think fusion energy will change the world and make a bright, clean future for everyone.

Subtitle: How False Stories Spread in Our Neighborhoods

By: 조서진

Date: 2025-10-17

Lead

Many people trust news shared by neighbors or local online groups, but sometimes these stories are not true. When fake news spreads in a community, it can make  serious problems.

Detail 1: Small Rumors, Big Impact

In one town, a message spread online saying that a local market was selling expired foods. The post was shared quickly on a community app. Many people stop visiting the store, even though no proof was found. Later, the store owner said he was shocking because his business dropped so much in just one week. This shows how a simple rumor can hurt real people.

Detail 2: Why Do People Believe It?

Fake news often use strong words or emotional stories. Some readers don’t check the source, so they believe it immediatly. Also, when a friend or family member shares it, people trust it more. Experts say that checking facts before sharing is the best protection.

Interview

“I saw a post saying there was a dangerous person near our school,” said a middle school student. “Everyone was  scared and parents didn’t let us go out. Later, we found out it was not true at all.”

Conclusion (My Opinion)

These days, false news spreads very fast on SNS and other online places. I think it is very important to tell what is real and what is fake. By writing this, I wanted to show that we need to build a habit of checking information the right way. Only then can our community stay safe and trusted.

AI Replace Teachers?

Will robots become our new teachers?

By Son Taeung — October 17, 2025

---

Lead Sentence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing very fast. Some people believe that AI can replace human teachers in the future. But is it really possible?

---

Detail 1

Today, AI is already used in classrooms. For example, students can learn math and English with AI learning programs. AI can answer questions very quickly and give feedback right away. Many schools around the world are testing these new tools.

---

Detail 2

However, AI still has limits. AI can teach information, but it can’t understand human feelings well. When a student feels sad or confused, AI can’t help like a real teacher does. Real teachers know how to care and support their students.

---

Interview

“We use AI in our class, but I still need my teacher,” said Minji, a middle school student. “When I don’t understand something, she explain it with kindness. AI just give answers.”

---

Closing

In my opinion, the role of a teacher is not just to teach study. Teachers also help students adapt to school life by making emotional connection. Because of this, I think AI cannot fully replace teachers. AI can be a good helper, but not a real teacher.

Subtitle: How daily phone habits are changing the way we learn and live

By: Lee Soyul

Date: October 17, 2025

Lead Sentence:

Smartphones are now an essential part of every teenager’s life, but their influence on study and daily habits is becoming a serious issue.

Body Paragraph 1:

Many high school students use smartphones for studying, searching information, and communicating with friends. However, using phones too much can decrease focus and make students tired during class. A recent survey showed that 78% of teenagers check their phones more than ten times a hour, even when they are doing homework.

Body Paragraph 2:

Teachers also worry that smartphones make students less social. Instead of talking face to face, many teens spend their free time scrolling through social media or playing games. This can affect not only their grades but also their relationships with family and friends. Some students said they feel anxious when they are not online, which shows how strong the smartphone’s impact is on mental health.

Interview Quote:

“I used to read books before bed, but now I always watch short videos,” said a 16-year-old student from Seoul. “It’s hard to stop, even when I know it’s late.”

Conclusion (My Opinion):

In my opinion, smartphones are helpful tools if we use them wisely. But many students don’t control their time well. Schools and families should teach teenagers how to balance study and phone use. I believe learning self-control is more important than just banning smartphones.
