To whom it may concern:
We had made a decision to build the Seoul Global Center and contracted with your company about remodeling the Press Center, the 3th floor and preparing on opening event. We think your company would have already lunched the design.
However, it is necessary for us to change the first plan because there were several new orders at the board meeting. Firstly, we have to add new functions such as cultural exchange room, business help center in the Seoul Global Center. Secondly, we have to enlarge the opening event. At first, we planned to invite several foreigners concerned, but realized that we have to invite ambassadors who live in Korea, foreign residents who live in Hannam-dong, Ichon-dong and Itaeweon-dong and celebrities for the promotion.
We wonder if you could meet a dead line when the plan is changed as described above and we would like to know how much budget would increase. We look forward to receiving your reply as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Cho, Sung-ho

Change the planning
My objective
I have one objective to achieve this semester. That is improving my English listening skill, because I realized listening is my weak point at UCI.
Before I went to UCI, I mainly focused on speaking. I didn’t feel any problem listening in Korea, because foreign teachers adjusted their speech speed for students in the class. However, I had difficulty in understanding the class at UCI.
To improve listening skill, I’m considering several methods. First, I will listen to TOEIC listening comprehension tape during the commute time everyday. I think that repetitive practices about various short expressions will improve listening skill naturally. No matter how simple a sentence is, it might be difficult to understand speech if I’ve never heard the sentence.
Second, I will listen to famous person’s address such as American presidents, Steve Jops, Obama and Hillary. Because their addresses are usually well organized and their pronunciation is relatively accurate, listening the address will be helpful.
Finally, I will try to watch English news at home as many as possible. Although English news is very fast, repetitive watching will improve listening skill and I can get a lot of information about current issues. Through the listening practices, I anticipate I could watch American movies without caption at the end of this semester.

Thinks I like to do in this semester
There are several things I most like to do in this semester.
One of them is improving my English listening skill, because I realized listening is my weak point at UCI. I’m thinking about several methods to improve English listening skill. I will listen to TOEIC LC tape in the commute time everyday. In addition, I will listen to famous person’s address such as Steve Jops, Obama and Hellary. Finally, I will try to watch English news at home as many as possible.
Another thing I’d like to do is going to trip with my family. I plan to go some places around Seoul such as Yang Pyeong or Ga Pyeong during weekend. Another thought is going to Jeju island using flight mileage. Finally, although cost is expensive, I could plan to go abroad during January vacation next year.
Last thing I most like to do is going to various special restaurants and taste delicious food. Italian restaurant near my house is one of the special restaurants. That restaurant always serves delicious food. Although cost is too expensive, beef restaurant is one of the restaurants that I most like to visit. Finally, I would like to visit famous restaurant that have ever been introduced by broadcast.
I would like to make this semester more precious by enhancing my English ability and having a lot of time with family.
