   I agree with the idea that travel helps people have broad view of the world. We can acquire the intelligence about the world from the books or other materials. Nevertheless, it is much different from the real world. For example, "Seeing is believing and To see for oneself is worth all the books of travel" indicate the real experience is more important than general knowledge.
   According to the second quote, we can acquire diverse knowledge from not only books but also the travel. There are various cultures, nature and  people of many countries. These things are not obtained by reading some letters only. On the other hand, directly experiencing those makes people feel huge impression.
   However, real experiences aren't gained automatically. So, we need to be an adventurous person and don't hesitate to go abroad. Then, we can have wide views of any fields.

   My name is HyoSang, Lee and I am a international student from South Korea. Psychology is my major and I'm senior. After graduation, I'd like to study sports psychology for my master degree. I have been philliphines, singapore and china, so this is my first time to America. I really enjoy these days in california, then I'm excited to study my major in the USA.
   I love to playing basketball, also any kinds of sports. Usually, I play it twice a week and find for friends to play with. I like any sports with ball but I can't swim. I really wanna swim well soon; however, it is hard for me to be comfortable in the water. My another hobby is doing laundry. I think it sounds ridiculous, but I feel happy when I make clothes clean.
   When it comes to my family, My father retired from his job and my mother honestly work in her company for 15 years. I have one sister only and she was married last year, then she has an one year old baby. His name is JinWoo, Choi and he is so adorable.
   I'm so glad to see you and I anticipate to spend pleasant time in class. Thank you!
