English Recordings

Recommendations:

1. Introduce standardization of curricula and licensing and certification of teachers to improve standards (as is done in the USA).

2. Introduce high quality selection procedure for higher level teachers and offer the candidates better incentives.

3. Computer education should also be introduced gradually right from the elementary stage in education.

4. Introduce one medium of instruction. In the international environment of competition today, English has assumed unprecedented importance.

5. English has to be given preference if a choice is to be made

6. Various bodies of academic experts should also be formed to monitor, standardize and develop all the above mentioned programmes.

7. Use electronic media more extensively for educational purposes. A channel could be devoted to just education.

8. Give more importance to language education and mathematics at the primary and secondary levels.
Language and mathematics are the foundation on which acquisition of other skills depends.

Education is the main vehicle for socio-economic development but, unfortunately about half of adult population in Pakistan cannot read and write. Pakistan is sixth most populus country of the world. Due to rapid population growth and inability of
the formal education system to bring all children into school, illetrate polulation has increased from 22 million in 1961 to 48 million by 2005. It is feared that by 2015, illetrate population in Pakistan may rise to 52 million.

In the area of education, Pakistan is lagging behind other countries of South Asia, even lower than Nepal, Bangladesh and Maldives. Pakistan has been spending less on education as copmared to other countries in the region.

PROBLEMS

A. Inappropriateness of curricula and pedagogy

The curricula and related pedagogy are usually inappropriate or at least inadequate for the set goals in many disciplines.

Furthermore, there is no integrated system in which one step leads to the next to enable a student to develop a truly sound base for the discipline he or she is interested in. Moreover, even at the higher levels of education, there is no mechanism
worth its name to help a student in gauging his or her potential or in deciding on a suitable academic career.

B. Multiplicity of educational systems
There are many systems working here, resulting in not synergy but social division and conflict. For example we have English medium schools, Urdu medium schools, and religious madrasas. Students coming out of English medium schools, especially good private sector schools, have little or no awareness of their religion and culture whereas those passing out from Urdu medium schools are usually destined to work in clerical and lower level positions. Religious madrasas churn out yet another class that are usually unaware of the world outside their own and, with their strong sectarian bias and little or no training in modern disciplines, are usually ill-equipped to interact meaningfully with the larger society and are also monumental at times in spreading sectarianism.

Yesterday, I promised my friends I'd meet them at 4:30 in the afternoon at Daehak-ro." If I took my car, not only would parking be expensive, but finding a parking space wouldn't be easy.
" [Driving would be quicker, but parking price would be expensive, assuming I could even find a parking space.)"
Obviously, I knew taking the bus would be the most convenient way, but because I had been goofing around, there wasn't enough time.("I lost track of time.)
As I was stepping out I hesitated a moment 'Should I take the car? Should I ride the bus?', but finally decided to drive.
I kept glancing at my watch, driving hurriedly. ( hurriedly.)
I barely found a parking space, but already I was 5 minutes late for an our appointment.--
Wow ~~ that parking attendant(안내원) said it was 4000 won for one hour.
People...thoughts? Expensive, right?
It's expensive, but what can you do?
I parked, then ran like crazy to the theater entrance
Sigh...what to do? How embarrassing!
My friend and her husband had already arrived and were waiting for me.
Anyway, it had been a really long time since I had seen the/her husband. He really likes playing many kinds of sports, but 7 years ago he had a heart attack infarction.

' Northern Riverside Road 2010”: This is the title of the dance performance we saw yesterday.
The art director of the dance performance is my friend's husband's teaching colleague, and she choreographed this dance.
Personally, I thought the dance was very interesting/(fascinating/engaging ). –
*("fascinating: 매혹적인, 황홀한, 반하게 만드는; 아주 재미있는 "
or *engaging . :남의 마음을 끄는, 매력 있는, 애교 있는." )

The beginning scene was under the sound of speeding motorcars, dancers were rushed from here to there.
In my feeling this acts means running cars, and also symbolizes our contemporaries`s the life.
That's probably why this dance is called "Northern Riverside Road 2010." (A northern riverside road is a highway on the north side of Seoul's Han River.)
Besides, dancers through many kinds of acts ( laughing, jump, pull ..)expressed our contemporaries`s emotional instability.
Eventhough it`s not easy to understand it was still an interesting performance for me.
And besides I felt again living as an artist is not easy, because without passion/ fervor they can not create new creation.
After watching dancing the show, we had a walk, there were so many kinds of live performances― for example ― display stand, a stallholder, mariachi, ..etc. the road was filled with fervor of life.
So I guessed those were well-matched that street.
WE entered in a cafe ordered draft beer and light refreshments.
So we had talked together had been a pleasure time.
Oh, I `d better express thanks to my friend`s two daughters,
The truth is this, my friend`s husband bought those tickets for his family, but their daughters were too busy to see the show.
Therefore he invited us instead of their daughters, we had a good time.

2010．9．19．＜어제 일기＞
---(part 1)----------------------------
어제 저녁 나는 친한 친구와 약속이 있었습니다. 오후4:30, 대학로에서 만나기로 했거든요.
만약 그곳에 차를 가져 갈 경우는 주차비도 비쌀뿐더러, 주차할 장소를 찾기가 쉽지가 않습니다.
그러니 당연히 버스를 이용함이 가장 편한 것은 알고 있었지만, 제가 꾸물대다가 그만 시간이 늦어지게 되었습니다. 그래서 출발 전 ‘차를 가져 갈까? 버스를 타고 갈까? ‘잠깐 망설였지만 결국 차를 가지고 나섰습니다. 연신 손목 시계를 흘낏 거리며 달려가 간신히 주차할 곳을 찾았을 때는 약속 시간에서 이미 5분이 지나 있었습니다.
看着表急着开车去，好不容易找到停车位子的时候已经从约时间超过了5分钟。
와~ 그 주차장 할아버지께서 ‘1시간에 4000원’이라고 하셨어요. 여러분 생각에는 비싼 것 같지 않아요? 하지만 비싸도 어쩔 수 없죠, 서둘러 차를 세운 뒤 허겁지겁 약속한 극장으로 달려갔습니다.
아휴~~ 어떡해요? 민망해라! 내 친구와 친구 남편이 이미 와서 기다리고 있었습니다.
어찌 되었던 간에 그 친구 남편과는 정말 정말 오랜만에 보는군요.
남편 친구는 모든 운동을 정말 좋아하는데 7년 전에 심근경색으로 하마터면 저 세상 사람이 될 뻔했었는데, 천만다행으로 위기를 넘기고 새 생명을 얻었으니, 이럴 때는 운이 좋다고 해야겠지요?

잠시 후 또 다른 한 친구가 오고 우리 4명은 극장으로 들어갔습니다.
하하~~ 여러분 알아 맞혀 보세요. 친구 남편이 우리를 만나자 던진 첫마디가 뭔지 아세요?
"아이고~~ 아니 어떻게 두 분은 점점 예뻐지십니까?"
하하~~재미있어요. 점점 예뻐진다고요? 하하~여러분은 믿으시겠어요?~~
아마도 점점 더 나이 들어가는 거겠지요? 하하하~~
아니면, 그 친구 남편의 눈이 점점 나빠지고 있던지 ~~~

---(part 2)--------------------------
" 강변북로2010"‘:이것은 바로 어제 본 그 무용극의 제목입니다.
이 무용극의 예술 감독이 바로 어제 무용공연을 보여준 친구 남편의 학교 동료교사입니다. 또한 그가 이 영화의 안무를 했고요.
난 개인적으로 이 무용이 참 흥미로왔습니다.
힘차게 달리는 자동차의 소리와 함께, 달리는 고속도로를 연상하는 조명 아래로 각각의 무용수가 무대 이쪽에서 저쪽으로 날듯이 힘차게 달려가는 동작으로 무용이 시작 되었습니다.
제 느낌으로는 이는 달리는 자동차를 상징하고, 다시 말하면 바로 허둥지둥 바삐 살아가고 있는 현대 사회인의 모습과 태도를 비유한 게 아닌가 싶습니다.
그래서 아마도 이 무용극 제목을 '강변북로 2010'이라고 했겠죠?.(강변북로는 서울의 한강 북쪽의 자동차 전용 도로입니다.) 그리고 또한 각각의 정서적인 불안 증세를 표현한 (일종의 틱 현상을 지닌 모습), 웃거나, 뛰거나, 옷을 당기거나 하는 등의 다양한 모습을 표현 했습니다.
비록 조금 난해 하긴 했지만, 무척 흥미로웠습니다.
또한 정말 한사람의 예술가로서 살아감이 쉽지 않음을 느꼈습니다.
열정 없는 새로운 창조는 존재할 수 없을 테니까요.

우리는 공연이 끝난 다음, 거리로 나와 걸었습니다. 길거리는 매우 시끌벅적했습니다.。
극장밖에서 본 것들도 적지 않습니다.
길거리 예술가의 공연, 좌판에서 파는 각종의 물건들, 간식거리를 파는 리어카들, 등등....
이 '대학로'라는 거리 이름과 걸맞았습니다.　
우리는 까페로 들어가 생맥주와 간단한 음식를 시켜서 먹으며 즐겁게 이야기를 나눴습니다.

참! 맞습니다! 내 친구의 딸들에게 감사를 표해야겠군요.
원래는 친구 남편이 가족과 공연을 보려고 표를 샀는데, 딸들이 시간이 맞지 않아, 딸 대신 아내 대학친구인 우리를 초청한 것입니다.
결과적으로 우리 4명은 아주 즐거운 시간을 함께 했습니다

--２０１０.9.25(토 )-----------------------------
Hi everybody, How are you? Today is Saturday.
And finally, Chuseok(KOrean traiditional Holiday) is over, right?

On Chuseok that day, I went to my husband`s oldest brother`s house and had a ancestor-memorial services with my husband`s 5 brothers`s familes.
Then in the late afternoon I went to my parents `s house with my husband.(and took my 2 dogs named 'Betty'and 'Zzang-A')
My sister`s family came at the same time. (and brought her 1 dog, named Konan')
So we had a dinner with my mom and dad together.
Then where were my two brothers`s families ?
Haha ~~They also had to go to see their wife`s parents.
Don`t you think so? So it`s fair. Fair’s fair! !) ((((^__^)))
Wife`s parents are called ‘ parents-in-law’ right?
Fair’s fair?
•When celebrating a Korean holiday, usually, in the morning the wife visits husband's family and celebrates ancestor-memorial services with with her in-laws(family of husband), then in the late afternoon the husband visits to his wife´s old home see wife`s parents (parents-in-law)with wife.
How is it? Does it seem fair?
•After I returned to my house, yesterday I went to bed very early, and had a very deep sleep.
This morning when I got up I felt very clear.
Probably during these days I had been a lack of sleep.
Anyway when I ate brunch, the blue and clean sky was seen through the window.
Wow ~~ How Clean! How Nice! How Beautiful IT IS!
We decided to go out, so I carried inline-skates on my back and took Betty and Zzang-a with my husband.
How beautiful, how precious the fresh air!
Even though the sunlight dazzled my eyes a tittle, the air was so clean and fresh, it made me feel so refreshed in mind and body.
The weather Like today, it has been a long time, really.
Wa ~~~ ~~~~ When I raised my head and looked at sky, there were white fleecy clouds, it looked like a fairy-tale world, it was a distinctive[romantic] atmosphere.
My husband had walked along the river with Betty, and I had inline-skated with Zzang-A.
Why?
Because Betty is old so walking is better for her, on the other hand Zzang-a is a young dog, of course he prefers running and jumping over walking.

•By the way I took some pictures. *^-^*
•*^-^*Thank you for your reading.Please correct my mistakes *^.
모두 안녕하세요?
오늘은 토요일입니다. 마침내 추석은 끝났고요.
추석날엔 큰집(남편 큰 형님 댁)에 가서 다섯분 형님 가족과 함께 차례를 지내고, 저녁에는 친정(아내의 부모님 집)에 갔습니다.
마침 여동생 가족도 와서 엄마 아버지와 함께 저녁을 먹었습니다.
하ㅏㅎ~~ 그러면 남동생 가족은 어디에 갔느냐고요? 하하~~네, 그렇습니다!남동생들도 처갓집에 가야지요. 하하하~~서로 공평해야지요^^!!
아내의 친정 집을 ‘처갓집’이라고 하지요?

이렇게 하면 공평한가요? 아내와 남편이 명절을 보낼때 말이지요.
일반적으로 오전에는 아내가 남편과 시댁에서 차례를 지내고, 오후에는 남편이 아내를 따라 처갓집에 가서 장인 장모를 뵈면，공평하지 않겠어요?

이렇게 저는 그저께 친정에서 하룻밤을 자고 집으로 돌아 와서 어제는 일찍 잠자리에 들었답니다.
오늘 아침 일어나니 아주 오랫동안 잠을 잔 듯한 느낌이었습니다.
깊은 잠을 자고 났더니 오랫만에 몸과 마음이 개운했습니다.
아마도 요 며칠간 잠을 제대로 못 잤기 때문인지 어제는 아주 숙면을 한 듯 합니다.

어찌 되었든, 오늘 아침에 식사 후 창 밖을 보니 와~~~~!!! 날씨가 얼마나 좋은지!
즉시 밖으로 나가 산책을 하기로 했답니다.
나는 오랜만에 인라인을 메고 남편과 베티&짱이를 데리고 문을 나섰답니다.
공기가 얼마나 좋은지! 너무나도 깨끗하고 너무나 아름다왔습니다!
비록 햇살에 눈이 좀 부셨지만, 공기가 정말 맑고 깨끗하여 상쾌하기 그지 없었습니다.
이런 날씨는 정말 오랜만이었습니다.
와~~~~ 고개를 들어 하늘을 보니 파아란 하늘에 흰 구름이 마치 동화 속 이야기의 배경 마냥 낭만적인 분위기였습니다.
남편은 베티를 데리고 내 (안양천) 를 따라 걷고, 나는 인라인을 탄 채로 짱아를 데리고 달렸습니다.
왜냐하면 베티는 이제 나이가 들어서 아무래도 걷는 것이 더 편합니다.
그러면, 짱아는요?
아~~~짱아는요~~ ^o^/ 아직 어리잖아요.^.^/ 역시 달리고 뛰는 것을 훨씬 더 좋아합니다.
그러니 당연히 인라인 타는 나를 따라 달리는 것을 훨씬 더 좋아 하겠지요?

사진 몇장을 찍었습니다. 오늘 하늘과 안양천을 따라서 걷는 사람들, 운동중인 아이들…등등.

<Why did Korean championS became crazy???*-*/ >(2010.10.1)

THE news beloe is that I found yesterday on the internet.
*[Below(/Under?) the following article is a news that I ound on the Internet yesterday. ]
*[Yesterday I found the following below news on the Internet.]

I thought that it was so funny, I would liked to show it to you, and I brought it (on?) here.
They are a great championship team who gained a championship of Fifa U-17 women world-cup, but on the other hand they were cute/lovely(?) girls too.
This is a funny thing that had happened in the Cheongwadae(presidential house, the Blue House) at a lunch meeting/(luncheon?)yesterday.
They forgot they were having lunch with the presidents and had became crazy when they saw the Korean idol “Shinny” `.
Haha~~~ The korean president also, there was nothing he could do
[WHAT COULD THE PRESIDENT DO BUT LAUGH? ]
They had to admit[acknowlege] ‘they were girls who also become crazy with idol star.’
According to the news reports, the presidential couple and the other attendees just had looked at their being carried away with joy with and smile/laughting.
And what is more, the president`s finishing commentS were also omitted.

IN the article, they were the most brave and plain guests AMONG the guests who had been invited to the Cheongwadae(presidential house, the Blue House).

아래는 제가 인터넷에서 본 뉴스인데, 너무 재미 있어서 여러분께 보여 드리려고 가져 왔습니다.
비록 그들은 세계여자 축구대회에서 챔피언을 획득한 위대한 운동 선수들이지만,
한편으로 또한 귀여운 여학생들입니다.

이것은 바로 어제 그들이 대통령과의 점심식사 모임에서 일어 났던 일입니다.
하하..그들은 한국 가수 '샤이니'를 보자 마자 그만 너무 흥분하고 열광하여, 대통령과의 오찬임도 다 잊어 버린겁니다.
하하..대통령도 어쩔 수 없었지요....
그들 역시 아이돌에 열광하는 어린 여자아이이들임을 인정해야지요.
보도에 의하면, 대통령 부부및 기타 참석자들은 그저 하하~ 웃으며 좋아서 어쩔줄 모르는 그 모습들을 바라 봤다고 합니다.
게다가 대통령의 마무리 발언도 생략했다고 합니다.
보도에 의하면 청와대로 초청된 손님중 그녀들이 제일 겁없고 솔직한 젊은 손님들이었다고 합니다.

下边的新闻是我从网上看到的, 觉得挺有意思。 于是我转载下来想给你们看看。
虽然她们是获得了世界女子足球冠军的很优秀的女性运动员,不过别一方面她们也是很可爱的女孩子们（高中生）。
昨天就在她们跟韩国总统吃午餐的时候，发生了下面这件事情。
哈哈，当她们刚一看到韩国歌星“Shiny”就变得非常兴奋，马上开始疯狂了起来，完全忘记了当时正在和韩国总统吃午餐。
哈哈~~连总统对此也没有办法了~~~~~
不得不承认，她们也是一群崇拜明星的女孩子。
据新闻报道，总统夫妻以及参加的人都只能得笑着看她们高兴坏了的洋子.....
哈哈~~还有总统的结束语也省略[shěnglüè]了。
据报道，她们是被邀请到青瓦台中最无畏的坦率的年轻客人。

With heavenly powers invisible
In silence it communes,
The heart of man sincere and true
Precious beyond all boons!

Part4
Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister, often traveled, sometimes in his country and sometimes in other countries. He had a dog and he liked it very much.
When he traveled inside his country on holiday, he always took it with him. When he traveled to do his work, he did not take it. And when he went to other countries, it was very difficult to take it, because there was a rule about dogs in England. All dogs which were brought into the country had to stay in some place for half a year. That was a rule. Though Churchill was Prime Minister, even his dog could not break it.
When he traveled without his dog, Churchill made one of his servants bring it to the station to meet him. When he reached the station, the dog always ran to him and jumped on him.
One day, Churchill was coming back from a trip. His servant who was traveling with him got out of the train just after him. When the dog came, he was standing beside Churchill. When this man was at home, he often gave food to the dog. So it ran to the servant and began jumping on him. Churchill was so fond of the dog that he felt a little sorry about it. But he said nothing.
When they got home, he went to the servant and said, "May I ask something? Will you please stay in the train until I've said hello to my dog?"

Part5
The nightingale comes to England in April. He is a plain-looking bird. English people like this little bird very much. The name of this bird means a night-singing bird. The nightingale, however, sings in the daytime, too. But at night, when other birds are silent, people can hear his songs most clearly. So to the minds of most people, the nightingale is still a night-singing bird. The nightingale does not sing very long. He usually begins to sing about the middle of May, and after the second week in June people hear his voice no more. By this time he is very busy because he and his mate have babies and he must feed them. Summer passes. The nightingale goes away with his family to North Africa. He stays there and　enjoys the warm sunshine until spring comes.

Pettigrew admits to the story, but Harry stops Black and Lupin from killing him and becoming murderers themselves. Instead, Harry persuades them to take Pettigrew back to Hogwarts in order to clear Sirius's name. However, as they return to the castle, the full moon emerges and Lupin transforms into a werewolf. Pettigrew transforms back into a rat and escapes while Black holds off Lupin in his dog form. Black is knocked out by Lupin, who is about to kill Harry when a strange howl alerts Lupin and lures him away from Harry. Harry finds an unconscious Sirius lying by a pond, where Dementors suddenly descend on the pair and nearly kill them. They are saved at the last minute by a strange figure using the Patronus Charm, which Harry believes to have been cast by his father. Harry then passes out.
Harry awakes in the castle to learn that Black has been captured. To save him, Harry and Hermione use the Time-Turner to travel back in time and prevent his capture. Harry and Hermione rescue Buckbeak and re-watch the scenes of the night, until they see the Dementors cornering Harry and Sirius. Harry is determined to see who sent the Patronus, only to realize that it was himself. Sirius is rescued and flees on Buckbeak; Lupin, outed as a werewolf, resigns. Harry is worried that Pettigrew may help Voldemort to return, but Dumbledore says Harry may be grateful that he helped save Pettigrew's life.

Harry and Hermione follow the sounds of Ron's screams and find themselves in an old, boarded-up shack known as the Shrieking Shack. They also discover that the dog is Sirius Black, who is an Animagus. Harry attempts to attack Black when Lupin arrives. Hermione confronts Lupin about habits she has observed during her classes with him, and Lupin admits to being a werewolf. Lupin explains that he, Black, Pettigrew, and James Potter, Harry's father, were great friends and wrote the Marauder's Map. To make Lupin's transformations more enjoyable, his friends all became Animagi, humans who can turn into animals at will. The Marauders remained friends after growing up, and when they learned Voldemort was after the Potters, Black became their Secret-Keeper. However, Black then reveals that he had secretly switched this duty with Pettigrew in order to serve as a decoy. Black states Pettigrew is the betrayer and, rather than being murdered by Black, is actually Scabbers. Professor Snape suddenly barges in on the scene and threatens Lupin and Black with his wand, and taunts Black with threats of turning him over to the Dementors. However, Harry knocks Snape out, allowing Lupin and Black to take Scabbers from Ron and revert him back into Pettigrew.
