'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: USFK to hold English camp for Korean students

USFK to hold English camp for Korean students
05-12-2010

Dozens of South Korean high school students will have a week-long stay at the homes of American soldiers stationed in Seoul as part of an annual English immersion program hosted by the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK).

USFK has organized the English camp every year since 2005 under its ``Good Neighbor'' community outreach program designed to improve relations with the host nation.

Sixty students, including five children of North Korean defectors, will stay at 42 homes of American soldiers for seven days starting May 16, the command said in a release.

``This program helps Korean students get intensive exposure to the English language and have a vivid experience of American culture as they stay at the American soldiers' homes,'' the release said. ``For American soldiers, it will help them understand regional society and promote USFK's roles.''

As part of the program, students will attend American classes, visit the border village of Panmunjom, U.S. army and air force bases, and attend a U.S. military concert and sports competition, it said.
