When was your last time you laugh?

probably yesterday. is when I laugh last and i usually laugh even though it is not that funny. The way that I laugh is little bit different from the laugh. depends on the situation. I am not the person who make others laugh but rather I laugh by myself, or I  just likely to laugh from others. 

 

→ The last time I laughed was yesterday. My friend did something really silly, and it just made me burst out laughing. She was trying to carry too many things at once and ended up dropping everything on the floor. It wasn’t anything serious, but the way she reacted—pretending it was all part of her plan—was so funny. I couldn’t stop laughing because it was such a typical "her" thing to do, always trying to handle everything at once. Moments like these remind me how fun it is to be around her.

 

Are you a person who often makes others laugh?
I wouldn’t say that I’m a person who often makes others laugh. I’m more of the type who enjoys laughing at what others say or do. I prefer listening to my friends’ funny stories rather than being the one telling the jokes. However, when I do try to make people laugh, it’s usually with playful teasing or sarcastic comments. For example, when a friend shows up late, I might jokingly say, "Oh, did you take the scenic route?" It’s my way of having fun, but I’m not naturally the one who cracks everyone up.

 

Do you always laugh at funny things?

→   I tend to laugh quite often, even at things that aren’t that funny. The way I laugh varies depending on the situation. For example, when I’m with friends, I might laugh out loud, but when I’m alone, it’s usually just a quiet chuckle. I’m not the type of person who makes others laugh; rather, I enjoy laughing at the things people say or do. It’s my way of staying positive and finding joy in small moments.

 

Do you think you are a funny person?

I don't really think that I am a funny person, but I think I just am the person who loves laugh a lot. It dosen't really mean that I laugh out loud. But I think I have the low \ 웃음 임계점이 낮다. 

 

→  I don’t really think I’m a funny person, but I would say I’m someone who loves to laugh a lot. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I laugh out loud all the time, but I do find many things amusing, even the small ones. I guess you could say I have a low threshold for laughter; it doesn’t take much to make me smile or chuckle쳐클. So, while I may not be the one making others laugh, I enjoy finding humor in everyday situations.

 

Do you enjoy watching interesting and funny movies?

I enjoy watching interesting funny movies like reaility show or funny TV show on netflix or wherever it is. but it needs to be really funny. so uauuly watch that via Youtube reels or instagram. And then, if I really feel like watching it because of it is really funny, I google it or try to find on the Netflix so that Ican watch full video.  

 

→  I enjoy watching interesting and funny movies, as well as reality shows or comedy series on platforms like Netflix. However, it has to be genuinely funny for me to get into it. Usually, I come across short clips or highlights on YouTube Reels or Instagram, and if they make me laugh, I’ll look up the full version. Sometimes, I even search for it on Netflix or other streaming services so I can watch the entire episode or movie.

I would like to talk  about my friend Y. from taiwan.

She loves to make LEGO.

The reason she make LEGO is because, she said while she is making it, she can get out of stress and everyday's concerns becuase she just focus on one thing. making LEGO.

I thought it was really cool becuase at least for me, I couldn't focus on just making that LEGO, I constantly think of other stuff like what did I do in this morning, and what my friends said before,, like that kind of silly stuff.

 

 

→  Revised Response:

I would like to talk about my friend Y from Taiwan. She is really into making LEGO models.

The reason she enjoys building LEGO is because, as she explained, when she is working on a model, she can focus entirely on it, which helps her escape from daily stress and worries.

She finds it very relaxing since it allows her to be fully present in the moment.

I think this is really impressive because, for me, it's hard to focus on one thing like that.

I often find myself distracted by thoughts about what happened earlier in the day or things my friends said.

So, seeing her dedication and concentration while making these detailed LEGO models is quite inspiring.

It shows me how mindful and meticulous she is, and I really admire that about her.

 

How does modern technology change the handicraft industry?

It has been changed a lot. AS far as I know, handicraft industry for about like 20years ago or more, it was really popular, For example, when we think about Japan's product, it is very valuable because it was very meticulous, and they are really popular as a high-quality handicraft product. But these days, it doesn't really important to have a handcraft or not, because making quailty even though it isn't handicraft. no one really cares of it. people usually focus on the wages, like the how much it is, not about handcraft itself. whether it is or not. so I think it is ilttle bit changed. no one really care of it these days. 

 

→  Modern technology has significantly changed the handicraft industry. About 20 years ago, handicrafts were highly valued for their quality and meticulous craftsmanship. For instance, Japanese products were especially popular because they were known for their precision and high quality. However, nowadays, it seems that people don’t place as much importance on whether something is handmade or not. With advanced technology, mass-produced items can be just as high-quality as handcrafted ones. As a result, consumers often prioritize price over craftsmanship, focusing on affordability rather than the traditional value of handmade goods. So, in my opinion, the importance of handicrafts has diminished because technology has made it possible to produce similar quality products at a lower cost.

 

Is it reasonable to charge a high price for handmade things?

Yes. I think it seems reasonable to charge a high price becuase handmade things have a lot of precision and meculous high quality product. So It needs to be high price. 

 

→   Yes, I think it’s reasonable to charge a high price for handmade items because they often require a lot of precision and meticulous craftsmanship. These products are usually made with great care and attention to detail, which sets them apart from mass-produced items. Therefore, it makes sense that they are priced higher to reflect the time and effort put into making them.

Are there any traditional handicrafts in Korea?

Well I couldn't really think of any one. I don't know.

→  Yes, there are several traditional handicrafts in Korea. For example, there's Hanji, which is traditional Korean paper made by hand, and Ottchil, which is Korean lacquerware. These crafts have been passed down through generations and reflect the rich cultural heritage of Korea. They are valued for their artistry and craftsmanship.

Why do many children like to make things by hand?

I think  it is becuase making things by hand is a good way to play by themselves. It helps to delevop their brain function. and good for their creativity. I think making things by hand is not only a way to play but also a way to learn. 소근육 발달에 좋다.

→  I think children enjoy making things by hand because it’s a fun way for them to play and express themselves. It also helps develop their fine motor skills and creativity. When they create something with their hands, it becomes a hands-on learning experience that enhances their imagination and problem-solving abilities.

What are the benefits for students to learn to make things by hand?

Making things by hand? teaching students how to make things by hand is really important especially when they are younger becayse when children try to use their hand, they also can develop their not only their hand-moving technique but also their brain development as well. So when they are younger. it is really important. and even though they are not that young. even though they are 20s, it also really good to just focus on one thing while they are using hands.

 

→  Learning to make things by hand offers several benefits for students, especially when they are young. It helps improve their fine motor skills and coordination, which are important for their development. It also engages their brains, enhancing their creativity and focus. Even for older students, working with their hands can be a great way to practice concentration and reduce stress by focusing on one task at a time.

 

Are traditional handicrafts important to tourism?

Yes, When it comes to tourisum, I think it's importantto have traditional handicrafts products becauase when we go to other place, we just want to get some traditional one which is iconic to their own place or country, but if it is the product from just company or just plant, it isn't that good quality, but if it is made by hand, it is meticulous, so I think its good, especially tourist to have that all the way to back to their country. 

→  Yes, traditional handicrafts are very important to tourism. When tourists visit a new place, they often want to take home something unique and representative of the local culture. Handmade crafts offer that authenticity and cultural value, which mass-produced items cannot provide. For example, when tourists buy handmade souvenirs, they are not just purchasing a product; they are taking a piece of that country’s heritage and craftsmanship back home with them.
