Message from Simon:2nd September 2008

.

Welcome to the blogspot for English Communication 2 at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology [KAIST] located in the Korean city of Daejeon. The aim of this blogsite is - in addition to providing copies of the PowerPoints and lecture summaries of each learning session / lecture - to provide you links to resources from the Internet-related to each topic covered during the course of the semester. Spend a little time navigating around the site to see what is available. You can also check in the left hand column to see links to the posting for past writing courses. For now, all that is left me to do is to say "Welcome" again and to wish that you have a great semester.

Simon.

Song of the Week: Chapter 5 Kermit: Being Green

This weeks song is "Bein' Green“, a popular song originally written by Joe Raposo in 1970 for the children's show Sesame Street where it was performed by Kermit the Frog . As the Wikipedia post on the song notes, "'It's not easy being green' is a phrase that appears in pop culture as an expression of melancholy. In the song, Kermit begins by lamenting his green coloration, expressing that green 'blends in with so many ordinary things.'"

Kermit the Frog is a Muppet who was first introduced in 1955 and is one of
puppeteer Jim Henson's most famous and beloved creations. As the Answers.com post on the singer / actor notes, Kermit was performed by Henson until his death in 1990. Since then, he has been
performed by Steve Whitmire.
