My eighth question is: what's your opinion of Korea's present retirement age of 58-62? Do you think it is suitable or too young? Why do you think so?
Nowadays Koreans can expect to live up to at least 75 or 80 years of age. So requiring people to retire at the young age of about 60 is "absurd." Besides the fact that people live longer than before, there are other reasons for raising the retirement age. For one thing, with the current labor-shortage, it is helpful for everyone to allow old people to continue their work. Another reason for raising the retirement age is the growing trend for retirees to remain independent. Most of them would feel uncomfortable if they should live under the same roof with their children and they don't expect their children to support them in their old age. So I want the retirement age to be raised.

Question 7 Life after death.
Hi everyone,
Today's topic is life after death.
Which of the following three statements is the closest to the way you believe about life and dying? Tell why you believe it.
a) Man lives only one time, dies, and doesn't live again. There is only darkness after death. There is no "life after death."
b) There is life after death, but it is in a different place, such as "heaven." We can't come back to this world again.
c) Man dies and is reborn again in a new body such as cow, horse, and a human being.
I'm not a religious person, so I don't think there is another world after death. My motto is "do my best in this world" because I can't live again and can't live in another world.
