{November 11, 2009}   Korean SAT day

Wish you luck!

Today is very important day for Korean students, especially 12th graders.

Yes, the Korean SAT day.

This day is similar with SAT day, but not the same.

Korean SAT day is only one day in a year (it means Korean students have only one chance to take this exam).

Today, most Korean students are very nervous.

For them, their family, friends, or someone gave them presents.

The presents are mainly Chapssaltteok(a kind of rice cake includes red bean) and chocolate.

Chapssaltteok

The first reason is to relax their tension.

The two kinds of food are very sweat. When people eat sweat food, they feel better and more cheerful. Thus, they are allowed to eat something during their exam.

 The 2nd reason is (only applied to Chapssaltteok) its characteristic.

Chapssaltteok can easily stick.

It is articulated ‘BootDa’ in Korean.

When a student get an admission to university, it is articulated ‘BootDa’ as well. Using homonym, they wish students luck.
