The theme assignment is the following: Imagine moving to another place very different from what you are used to. How well would you adapt? Would you still be you inside and out? What, specifically, would you do? How would you interact? Who would you seek out? How would you decide who your nwe friends wuold be? What traditions, habits would you keep? What traditions, habits would you possibly need to give up? If you have real-life experience, draw on those examples. If you don't imagine what you would do.

heres the theme:
Traveling to a place like Germany
If I went to a very culturally different place, such as Germany, I would change dramatically. If I picked Germany as my next place to move to, adapting to Germany’s environment would be extremely hard and would take a long time.
The German language would be one major problem. Without proper communication, there would be infinite scenarios of troubles and conflicts. I would first seek a personal translator (e.g. labor, books, electric dictionary, etc). With personal translator, you can get help easily by using it to translate phrases or words.
For relationships, I would have friends that are kind and resourceful. I would try to be nice to my neighbors. I would also make friends that speak my language. I would look for friends that are cops, so if I get in trouble I would receive support.
I would also go to a town with many Koreans. There life would become easier. For example, getting jobs would be easier because the Koreans there can help me get jobs that they offer. Also going to School with as many Koreans as possible would be good idea. Korean friends can help me understand German by translating it to me.
I would have to give up or keep certain traditions and habits. I would have to give up Korean traditions because they are useless in Germany. I would barely find people carrying out Korean traditions in Germany, however, I would keep animals, TVs, computers, school, music, and many other possessions, because many Germans use them.
Language, relations, living place, and different traditions would make me very different inside and out. This is why moving to a culturally different place would be hard to adapt.
