A case study on how to improve your vitality through reading

With the college entrance exam system drastically changing, reading determines the quality of your life.
According to the newly announced 2028 college entrance reform plan, the influence of both school grades and the CSAT, which are the core factors in college entrance, has been reduced.
In particular, the internal grades were simplified into a 5-grade system, which greatly reduced the discriminatory power of the internal grades.
So where should students replenish their influence? And what areas should be strengthened within the framework of public education to preserve the high school credit system's purpose? The answer lies in the Department of Life Sciences.

Now that the academic transcript itself has naturally come to serve as a teacher recommendation letter and a self-introduction, the core of the academic transcript, the 'taxation special', has emerged as the most important area of ​​admission.
Each subject teacher writes a 500-character report on each student based on their observations during class and performance assessments. If this record is kept perfectly for three years, it will inevitably have an enormous amount and influence.
So, what can students demonstrate through their special talents? How can they make themselves more appealing to admissions officers? What aspects of special talents do universities focus on? Ultimately, these are the keys to determining "good special talents" and "good personality"—in other words, the success or failure of admissions.

The authors of this book, who have guided countless students to successful college entrance exams in schools, emphasize that there is no more attractive element in life sciences than "the expression of creativity through self-directed learning."
In fact, a 2020 joint study found that admissions officers cited "skills in inquiry-based activities linked to coursework" as the most useful factor in differentiating applicants during their special assessments.
In other words, admissions officers value most highly students who explore and practice specific inquiry activities related to their classes.
So, how can students demonstrate the process of formulating questions and exploring them based on their own interests and passions? This book suggests that the most effective method and resource is reading.
If you can actively seek out and read books on related subjects to further develop what you've learned in the curriculum and demonstrate your development based on that knowledge, you'll be able to demonstrate both proactive learning skills and creative efforts regarding your career path.
Reading that is easily accessible to any student and can be linked to a variety of activities.
This book provides consulting to help students build their own perfect life story over three years through 'Expansion through Reading.'

100 Must-Read Books to Share Your Stories and Ideas
The 100 must-read books for humanities, social sciences, science, and mathematics included in this book were carefully selected based on Seoul National University must-reads, bestsellers, books that students read frequently and received good responses from in-class students, and books recommended by subject teachers.
Instead of excluding books that are widely known as recommended reading for teenagers or required reading for college entrance exams, we carefully selected books that provide students with food for thought and that can be easily linked to in-depth activities that demonstrate creativity and ability.
Above all, we guided students not only to read the books given to them, but also to acquire the direction and principles for appropriately utilizing the books according to their own circumstances.

After each subject's author briefly introduces the core content and message of the 100 must-read books, they explain how the books can be expanded into follow-up activities, suggesting ways to utilize them in a variety of activities, including special education, autonomous activities, club activities, and career exploration.
In addition, we introduced examples of actual presentation activities, research projects, and career exploration activities in related departments that were carried out in the classroom, so that students could gain practical ideas and motivation.
When it comes to performance evaluations, simply creating a patchwork report based on internet searches will never lead to a good evaluation.
With advice from practicing teacher-authors, students will gain a thorough understanding of how to select books that align with their abilities and interests, draw inspiration from them to create their own stories and ideas, and connect with them beyond the classroom to explore further knowledge on their own.

There's a different kind of reading that universities really want.
This book guides students to avoid wasting valuable time by setting the wrong direction for their reading.
A common misconception among students is that they will receive a good evaluation only if they read books related to their career path and record them in their academic records.
However, rather than trying too hard to show off your specialized skills, it is much more effective to demonstrate your ability to think in an integrated manner across various fields.
The same goes for follow-up activities such as topic exploration presentations or research projects.
It is not important to conduct difficult experiments or activities beyond the curriculum and produce plausible results just for the sake of recording them in a life history book.
It is important to reveal the motivation for doing the activity, the process of exploration, and what was learned during the process.

This book carefully guides students to fully demonstrate their unique charm and capabilities through solid reading and follow-up activities.
Even as I write this book, I hope that through the reading consulting of veteran teachers who are engrossed in writing their life reports, the three years of hard work of all students who read the book can be strung together into a single, solid thread.
