Many of my presentations during my life!!

MY first speech.

Harry Park(박현우)

 

Hi, hello I'm Harry Park and 6th grade.

Last winter vacation I visited the grand Gyeongbok Palace with my family for the first time.

It was built in 1395 by King Taejo in the fourth year of his reign as king, when it was decided that the capital of the Yi Dynasty would be relocated to Seoul from Gaeseong.

Gyeongbok means "The Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven".With Mount Bugaksan to its rear and Mount Namsan in the foreground, the site of Gyeongbok Palace was at the heart of Seoul.

However, a number of major halls, gates, variety bridges, treasures and other features were burned down and burglarized during the Japanese invasion in 1592 and the Japanese occupation in the early 1900s.

Efforts to restore the heritages of Joseon Dynasty have continued since 1990.

Ok, I'll show you some marvelous places which are Keunjeong-jeon, Chageyong-jeon, and Kyeonghoe-ru.

Keunjeong-jeon is the largest wooden structure in Korea.

Kings conducted state affairs, held official functions, and received foreign envoys here.

There is a painted screen of the Moon, the Sun and five peaks behind the throne. It is said the screen must be set up wherever he goes.

We can see the beautiful Chimney at the Chageyong-jeon, which was the living area for the mother of the king. This is the building with a bedroom that was heated by an ondol heating system.

The walls and chimneys contained the symbols of long life, flowers and animals in the rear garden.

You can snap pictures in wonderful places.

The last one, Kyeonghoe-ru, is the biggest pavilion, supported by 48 stone pillars set in a lotus pond. It has a lot of elegant window frames. It is very beautiful~~.

So it was used for royal banquets.

It was a favorite place of the Kings. Nobody could get in there without their permission.

I was deeply moved by most things I saw because I am Korean and I could feel our national spirit.

After Namdaemun was burned down, people became more interested in Korean culture than before.

If you have time, you should go and see the Korean heritage right now.

I am sure you'll find great pleasure in seeing the wonderful places and things.

One more,

The changing of the guards ceremony that takes place at Gyeongbok Palace is probably the most popular.

So it is a must see. Thank you for listening

2) The most admired scientist, Louis Pasteur

Harry Park (박현우)

Good afternoon everyone. I'm Harry Park and 6th grade.

Do you like milk?

I drink it everyday because it is more fresher and sweeter than other drinks.

Most af all, I always chose the milk Pasteur which is pasteurized milk because the name is one of my respectable scientists.

Please don't misunderstanding.

It is never its commercial message.

 

Actually I thought the name, Pasteur was a famous brand of milk, but later I could read his biography.

Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist.

He originally majored in chemistry at the University, so he was interested in and studied about practical fields such as natural ferment of vinegar, wine, beer, but he changed his field of study.

He thought numerous diseases were the hardest thing to live people so he was determined to fight no matter how hard, to save human from diseases.

Pasteur created two special vaccines for rabies which is a disease of dogs, it causes madness and death And anthrax which is a serious disease that effects sheep and cows even people can cause death.

You know these two are very dangerous diseases.

Also he invented Pasteurization, the best known to people, which can save harmless bacteria from milk.

Pasteur studied, though and directed at the Pasteur Institute in Paris until he died.

He could devoted his life to experiment for life science and medicine, agriculture, industry with his great curiosity, observation and his wonderful talent, enthusiasm.

In addition, he never be afraid of failure though his work fell through because he believed in himself and his project to give better life for people.

Above all, I think he got it firmly into his mind that human is more important than anything else.

Some prophets foretell mankind will be destroyed by human but I believe that new many scientist like Louis Pasteur (include me because my dream is a biotechnologist ) will relieve next generation's worries and fears and try to maintain their world because we all love our human race.

That's because Louis Pasteur is my best respectable person.

Thank you for listening.
