샤머니즘, 미신, 풍수와 자연과학

주제(topic)를 제시하면 그것에 대하여 논리적으로 작문(에세이)해야합니다.
특히, 영어를 종합적(읽기,듣기,말하기,쓰기)으로 실제 구사할 수 있는 능력을 평가하는듯...

많은 도움이 되었습니다.
저도 나름대로 영작 한것을 실어봅니다.
문제는 시간인듯 하군요. 너무 오래 걸렸습니다.
아직 서툴러서 영어 구절 하나하나를 영어사전에서 찾아 봐야 하는 실력이라 어색한 문장도 있들듯 한데요.
좋은 지적 바랍니다.

Shamanism, Superstition, Feng Shui(geomancy) and Science.

Nowadays, Shamanism, Superstitions and Feng Shui(geomancy) are remained lots in oriental culture and living.
It is said that Shamanism is considered superstition admiring special things around natual environment
of ancient societies, while Feng Shui is more reasonable and practical than Shamanism.
Thesedays, Some forms of Shamanism are disappeared, still and all, they remain yet on local society.
For example, We happend to find a big and old tree near the entrance gate of countryside villages in Korea.
People of the village have been believing that the tree was a patron role protecting their village for long time age.
And, For people who prepare a important work or exam,
their parents bow about 100 times in font of a bowl of fresh water on a table at the special thing to pray for success in examination,
or People perform ancestral rites in front of a table with special foods.
Also, There is a interesting instance that is disappeared nowaday.
When some people buy a new car firstly, they hang a pollack on the back mirror obove driver's head to prevent a car accident.
As can be seen in the above examples, Shamanism is like Superstitions
because Shamanism has a blind worship rather than a reasonable proof.
But, Shamanism has a positive points that give people spirit stability and calm.

Feng Shui is able to prove as compared with Shamanism.
The most famous example of Feng Shui is a choice of the ground for a house.
It is so reasonable that the ground where is going to build a house should be decide according to Feng Shui.
Feng Shui is said that the good ground for a house has a big mountain to the north,
a river to the south and a mountain range as a folding screen around east and west.
A big mountain of the north prevent the cold wind in the winter,
a river of the south send the cool wind in the summer, and a mountain range around east and west hug the house peacefully.
There is the most typical Korean construction called KyungBokGoong
where is the palace of ChoSun dynasty adjusted Feng Shui nicely.
KyungBokGoong is located in the center of Seoul and It has northbound mountain called BukHanSan,
southbound river called HanGang and mountain range around east and west.
The northbound BukHanSan means a black turtle.
The southbound HanGang means a poenix.
The eastbound mountain range means a blue dragon.
The westbound mountain range means a white tiger.
Korean believe them with a patron saint.
Korean houses are built a lot according to Feng Shui.
As Feng Shui make house harmonious with natural environment, Feng Shui is very practical.

Shamanism admiring special things seem to exist in anywhere of ancient societies without distinction of Eastern or Western.
As the time passed, However, Eastern Shamanism stay in philosophical concepts
while Western Shamanism is advanced to a rationalized scientific system.
For example, Eastern people think a thunder with a anger of heaven
so they perform ancestral rites for heaven
while Western people analysis the thunder of heave with electric phenomenon that occur
between the anode and cathode of the cloud because of strong friction.
Also, Western people develop the analyzed contents to the logical documents
that become fundamental science such as chemistry, mathematics and physics.
These science have grow human life, But,
I think that the science developing against the philosophy admiring the nature is very dangerous.
For example, an indiscreet use of nuclear weapons or a hazardous gene inventions could induce human to the way to ruin.
I think descendent oriental Shamanism for long time age and Feng Shui are not the target to conquer
but the philosophical concept to preserve.
We should find not only the way to worship the nature but also the method to live harmonious with the nature more and more.
Consequently, the most important is that Eastern philosophy worshipping the nature and Western science should advance together in harmony for living human happly.

토플 작문을 위한 topic은 그렇게 무거운 주제는 아니고,
일상생활에서 접할 수 있는 가벼운 내용인듯합니다.
예를들면 아래와 같은 내용입니다.(토플 에세이 주제에서 직접 참고했습니다)

사람들은 여러가지 이유로 대학에 갑니다.
대학을 가야하는 것에 대해서 당신은 어떻게 생각하나요?

"부모님은 가장 좋은 선생님이다"라는 것에 대해서 동의하나요?
아니면 반대하나요? 구체적인 이유를 들어 표현해 보세요.

요즘 음식은 준비하기에 편해졌습니다.
이것이 사람의 삶을 많이 변화 시켰다고 생각하나요?

....

그런데, 위의 내용을 논리적으로 영어로 작문할려면 많은 연습이 필요할듯합니다.
저도 노력하고 있는데 쉽지만은 않군요.
