Study is the easiest thing in my life :)

Figure1. Inside of the Cafe

  I prefer to study in a cafe rather than in a study room. I think its spatial arrangement is the most ideal atmosphere to study. I'd like to browse this feature divided into these three points, the noise some people inside are making, the internal structure of a cafe and arranging furniture. First, there should be some noise to stay focus on my study. The noise such as people are talking each other, typing on the computer and grinding coffee helps me to concentrate my work. Second, it is important to make its interior more comfortable. There are several delicate lights, which shine yellow hanging from the ceiling and six special lights shaped like flashlight for shining three pieces of art work in the above of the side. Also, two pieces of art work, which makes people mind more fresh is below the special lights and hanging on the wall. The opposite side of the wall, there is also hanging the picture, and rectangle interior item. And, the window shaped rectangle is the next to the item, which has white check pattern bars. There also has a door, which can pass though, it has a white check pattern similar the window. About the floor, I like the woody-pattern and I think it seems like more nature-friendly. Most importantly, the space which I study should be separated from the counter. Because, I think it feels more private space. Finally, this is the most important thing; furniture layout. There are three sofas in front of the window, so the people who sit these sofas seems like more cozy to talk about something to each other. In the below of two pieces of art work, there are two tables and partitions each of the tables for studying alone. And there have wider size of three tables in the middle of the space, which can people take up more space to study or do their work. In the edge of the room, the tables and the chairs are suitable for talking two people. The spatial structure elements are the important features to focus on my work. Thus, If I arrange my special place for studying which has these features, I could tell that 'Study is the easiest thing :)'

  The place where we live can influence how we live in this three points. First of all, I think it can make our life pattern such as the food we had, the clothes we wear. For example, I live in Korea. So, I usually eat rice and kimchi. However, if I live in Europe, I'd usually eat bread or spaghetti most of time. Also, because my country has four seasons, I can wear various clothes suitable for the temperature. But, In Africa, I can't do that. In this reason, I think our residence is reflected in our life style. Second, It can influence our way of thinking. There are quite differences in culture that one of the main factors on our attitude depending on the environment. Because of this, we have differences in thinking method, and it makes our choices or moments of life. Finally, Our residence decides convenience of life. Let me take a example of public transportation system. I have lived in Seoul where it has developed transportation system. So, I can go anywhere I want in a short period of time. Besides, I can checked the schedule of the bus service easily. It leads to my time reduction and convenience. Like this, according to infrastructural development of our residential areas, Our life can be changed. To conclude, our living places can determine our life style, attitude, and convenience. These points affect our life as much. And as a result, I think it is one of the main factors deciding paths of our lives.
