Hi.
Im collecting questions to put together to make a quiz about South Korea (or North Korea) for myself and other teachers to use with their students. Id especially be grateful for pop culture because i dont know anything about that and the students seem interested. I tried some of them out already and they seem to really enjoy sports, music and multiple choice

If you have 'anything' - no matter how small, post on the thread and Ill cut and paste it into the finished quiz below for you to C and P yourself (thanks in advance!).

I'd suggest that something useful for the original poster would be learning to spell. A few misspellings would be understandable; however, the original post is rife with them.

I'm with Otherside: The OP seems to be trolling.

genuinely sorry about that. i was writing a lesson plan, dealing with kids running in and out and writing this at the same time. thanks for correcting me. anyway, ive corrected and am in the process of correcting the mistakes.

cabbage - chinese cabbage? thanks for that...

as for the mountians - was editing it between classes and the computer timed out and saved before i could finish. and I think its spelled Jirisan or it was at least last time i climbed it.

it would seem wikipedia is wrong. It is the N.E. Asia trade tower at 305m...

[tardisrider]

You could ask something like "How many floors tall is the 63 building?" I'm not sure that I actually like the expression "floors tall" but that expression could be adjusted a bit...the point is that of the 63 Building's 63 floors, only 60 (I think) are actually above ground; the other 3 are below ground. Sorry for my poor wording; I hope you can understand what I mean.

[le-paul]

thats a good idea. The tallest building (Northeast Asia Trade Tower) has 68 stories and the second (Samsung Tower Palace 3, Tower G) has 73 stories so could use a stories/floors question. Thanks
