in which students learnabout different countries and societes
His teacher's name is Mr. Bert. )
Mr. Bert,I'm sick. Can I go to the nurse's office?
No, not yet.Today we are going to talk about Japan and
Korea,and I think you should stay here.After we talk, if you
are still feeling sick , you may go to the nurse's office.
All right.When does the class start?
Right now.Class, today we are going to talk about Japan and Korea.
These countries are very far away from America, but they are
very important.When I was young we didn't learn about Asia in school,
and so we knew very little.These days, however,politics, economics,
and the internet have made our relationship to Asia closer than
ever.And the two countries we have the closest relationship to are
Japan and Korea.
Why do we have a close relationship with Japan and Korea?
Well,Robert,we buy more than half our cars, computers,and other electronics
from those two countries.But, more importantly,they have long and
interesting histories and cultures.Let me start with the history and culture of
Korea.
