I'm going to compare International schools and Korean Local schools. For the first time I came to this school from Korea, I couldn't get used to everything in this school, the way they do was completely different from Korea. Personally, I like SSIS's way much better than Korean local schools'.

Firstly, International schools are usually free to do things. I know there are rules to be obeyed in this school, too, but in Korea, they are much stricter than here, we get to be beaten when we disobey the rules. Some strict teachers in this school might scold me angrily, but at least they don't beat, ever. It is important to make students follow the rule every time, but beating students doesn't always make things go right, it might even make things go worse. Students at my age might even disobey more as he or she would be in puberty so, it would rather be better to solve the problem by talking to them smoothly.

Secondly, education way in two schools is different. Again, education is also free in the international school. We can sometimes choose subjects or so according to your own favorite. In Korean local school, you don't really get much opportunity to choose something you want; you just do what is required.

As a result, as I like the way of international schools, I would like Korean local schools to receive more of the others' way, change and fix the way that was wrong. 

In English class, we have watched two different kinds of Hamlet; one was a movie by famous actors and another was a play film which was filmed during the real play. The first one wasn't really long as some parts were omitted. However, the second one had almost all of the detail parts of the story and it was too long and I even felt boring sometime during the play. I could get better understandings from the movie as it showed the main points simply, but I think too detailed play doesn't give me strong impression about the main points. In addition, not only the actors had better appearance on the movie, but also I personally thought the actors on the movie acted better than the actors on the play. Lastly, backgrounds in the movie were like real but on the play, as they had limited stage, the backgrounds were not really vivid.

In conclusion, I personally prefer to watch the movie rather than the play if you like to enjoy Hamlet as they are really vivid, and you feel like you are in the movie.
