My English assignment

Part 1: Busan Cinema Center

According to Wikipedia, the Busan Cinema Center is the official venue of the Busan International Film Festival, located in Centum City, Busan, South Korea. On regular days, except during the festival, it shows a diverse range of films, including works by Nouvelle Vague director Claude Chabrol, Japanese filmmaker Masumura Yasuzo, and Hungarian director Marta Meszaros. The ticket prices are more reasonable than those at other chains like Lotte, Mega Box, and CGV—currently 8,000 KRW at BCC, compared to the usual 10,000 KRW for most movies in Korea. If you join the membership for 20,000 KRW a year, you receive two free tickets and can enjoy every movie for just 6,000 KRW.
I often imagine being in a cinema after I die, watching fascinating films for eternity. Visiting the Busan Cinema Center gives you a taste of that experience before your time comes.

Part 2: New Oxford American Dictionary

The New Oxford American Dictionary stands out among the English dictionaries I’ve used, primarily due to its comprehensive etymologies for each word. For instance, the term “etymology” derives from the Greek word “etumologos,” a combination of “etumos,” meaning 'true,' and “logos,” meaning 'word.' This depth of understanding is far more beneficial than the rote memorization often emphasized in Korean middle and high schools, where students lack exposure to the Latin and Greek roots that influence English vocabulary. Had I discovered this dictionary in my youth, I believe I could have spoken English as well as Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad.
For convenience, I recommend using the mobile app, which is easier than the printed version. Additionally, it offers access to dictionaries for other languages, including French, German, and Spanish, for an annual fee of 29,000 KRW.

Part 3: Practical English Usage

Many English grammar books written by Korean authors tend to reflect a Korean perspective. However, I believe English learners should engage with materials written by native speakers to gain a more authentic understanding of the language. Practical English Usage by Michael Swan is one of the most accessible English grammar guides I've encountered. Its explanations are clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who hasn’t fully grasped all of The Great Gatsby. The text uses black ink for standard sentences and blue for article titles, making it easy to navigate. Recently, I’ve been studying its explanations of the differences between American and British pronunciation, which has been incredibly helpful.
This book is a must-have for anyone serious about improving their English!
