Geo26 is my first time attending the
GEO camp. When I first came to Catholic University of Korea, I really wanted to
join the vacation GEO But since I lived in the country side, and I was a little
bit afraid of coming to Seoul so I didn’t attend the previous camps at all. After
last my semester ended I decided to attend the Geo26 camp because I wanted to
improve my English skills and my friends recommended me to join the GEO camp to
develop my English skills.
During the Geo program we have to do
4times of Team Competition and each Competition we have different missions to
complete. One of the missions that impressed me a lot was Model UN. Since it was our first time of doing this
mission with using international usage words, it was really hard and difficult
to complete the mission with my team mates.
To give some
information about how to deal with our mission Model UN, the process would be:
1.
Opening Speeches
First
each delegate is given a minute to give his or her opening speech.
The
purpose of an opening speech is to introduce your country and the stance of
your country on the given agenda.
2.
Draft Resolution.
The
draft resolution will be the basis for negotiation to other countries, I
recommend you to at least think about and write down possible solutions to the
given agenda.
3.
Go and make a deal
So
it means you should choose an agenda you are interested in, research, write an
opening speech, and prepare a draft resolution. Go to other countries and make
a deal.
During
the negotiation I had to be and say it out as if I was one of the Israel
governments to win this mission. I tried to be matured with my languages and I
kept my perspective wide to make sure I am making a right deal with other
countries. And so by this mission I have gained a lot of international words
and it did developed my English skills as well. I had really enjoyed this Model
UN competition and I am very glad to have this opportunity to manage my English
skills.
To conclude, I like how GEO camp’s
competition can develop my English skills. Having fun, and earning skills at
the same time, it’s just a wonderful thing. In our GEO 5-1 class there is a
post written ‘the limits of my language mean the limits of my world.’ And I was
grabbed by this famous saying so strongly. Using English helps me a lot
throughout expressing myself out while I am having a conversation with others.
