Oprea Elisir d Amore

Two years ago, I was in an opera called The Elixir of Love. The main characters are Nemorino and Adina, and it is a romantic opera in which the characters are confirming their love for each other. Nemorino, tricked by Dr. Dulcamara, a medicine man, spends all his money on a medicine, which doesn’t have any potency, to be an elixir of love. He believes that once he drinks the elixir, the woman he loves will also love him. However, when he finds out that the elixir is a lie, he falls in despair. Adina worries about Nemorino, who acts differently, and seeing herself worrying about him, finds out that she also loves Nemorino. Once they find out that they are both in love with each other, they get married and the opera ends.
I played the role of Nemorino. Nemorino was a normal farmer, who lives a poor live and is also somewhat slow. To play his role, a lot of acting skills were required. I needed one year to prepare for this opera. Also, I needed lots of time, money, and practice.
When I was preparing for the opera, I was under a lot of stress, but when it was over, I felt an overflow of joy that I couldn’t explain in words. Many people have biases toward operas, but when they experience the opera themselves and talk about it, I believe that the bias will go away.

Interviewer: (Dae ho lee), respondent (Zin nam hyung)

Question 1: what are famous foods in Singapore?

Generally, Singapore is the country where Mult-cultural, so there are various types of foods, including Indian, Chinese, Malaysian, western food. I firmly believe that there is number of Chinese food is famous because there is large population of Chinese in Singapore. Therefore, I, high school student who is not able to buy expensive food, often enjoy having Chinese foods, such as Chicken Rice, Dumpling, etc. Chinese foods are all available for common people to enjoy, so I think Chinese foods are famous in Singapore.

Question 2 : what is clothing style in Singapore ?

I can easily answer with this question because there is only summer season in Singapore. People in Singapore are willing to have summer clothes to fit its hot weather. Normally, Singaporeans live in their hot weather, so they tend to be sick when they go to low-temperature country. Also, Singapore was part of Malaysia so that they have traditional clothes as Malaysian clothes, known as Kebaya. Singaporeans tend to wear Kebaya to celebrate Malaysian festival.

Question 3: Which types of song is that Singaporean likely to listen?

In past, Singaporeans are likely listen to Chinese songs because there are so many Chinese in Singapore. Recently, Singaporeans are eager to listen K-pop. Also, Singaporeans tend to have hobby that they organize their band because they love to play band songs. In my experience, I love to play bass guitar and be part of my friend’s band, and I had several concerts in school and street.

Question4: what is lifestyle in Singapore?

As I said, Singaporeans live in hot weather so that Singaporeans are willing to use air conditional in their houses, offices, and schools. And also, there are several electrical plants, which is well constructed in Singapore so that Singaporeans are able to use its costs to electricity for air conditioner cheaply and well-provided. I firmly agree with that when you go to any kinds of buildings in Singapore, you may know the temperature difference between inside and outside.

Question 5: Is there anything about Singapore that you are proud of ?

Well, I want to say that Singapore is developed country, and I personally believe that it is hard to achieve to be developed country in Asia because there were colonies in Asian history. Another thing that I proud of my country is that government provide well-secured for its citizen, so there is low crime rate in Singapore. That is because government regulate strongly so that Singaporeans know how they will be punished. 

Inception

‘

By Daeho Lee:

The movie I am going to talk about is the Inception . It’s about a movie where the main character ‘Dome Cove’ played by Leonardo Dicaprio and his team goes into another person’s head to plant an idea . I think the time that this movie takes place is in the near future. The main plot of this story is to plot a idea into the heir of a multinational company to break up his dads company to the ground. By doing this the main character Dome can go back home to his children. The plot was very interesting because I have never thought of this kind of idea before. The acting was also very good. Dicaprio played his role very depressing to some length. The visual was awesome CG in the movie and looked real. The momente when I was most suprised was when the building collapses as Dome and Ariadne goes into the 4th dream. Also the music in the movie matched well with the action that was taking place. the film didn’t end here when Dome got back home after the job and right at the end of the movie Dome spins his totem which, tells him if he is dreaming or not. If it goes down that means he is in reality if it doesn’t it means he is dreaming. However, at the end of the movie the totem is still spinning when if finishes. It led me to think if he is dreaming or not. My guess is that he came back. I have enjoyed this movie very much and I might even see it again sometime soon.
