5. Dokdo Erosion

Most people know the eastern islets of Dokdo as small. But they used to be as big as neighboring
[Pkg]
Dokdo is the result of a volcanic explosion more than four and a half million years ago. The islets' shape has been carved out in the process of enduring the elements. But this visible feature doesn't tell the whole story about Dokdo. A giant sea mountain below Dokdo lies 2-thousand meters under water. The mountain is eleven kilometers wide and 10 kilometers long, and is as big as neighboring
[Soundbite] Park Chan-hong (Ocean Research & Development Inst.) : “Erosion is in process. It's become smaller if it keeps being worn away by wind and water.”
Small rocks and remnants hardened after a volcanic explosion, and this created Dokdo. So the islets are highly susceptible to erosion and weathering. The Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute says the top of the islets will get flatter and the bottom smaller due to waves. The Dokdo sea mountain is an underwater giant volcano, and is also getting smaller. The sandy part of the sea mountain is rapidly eroding along a steep sea valley. The sea mountain also belongs to

[Anchor Lead]
It’s easy to make your own album with photos taken with your digital camera. And you can bind your old journals to create a record of your memories. Let's take a look at making a book that’s all your own.
[Pkg]
Ms. Kim's family spends a pleasant holiday afternoon reading a book.
[Soundbite]
“Mom, Dad! Look at it.”
It's all about the child, the mother and the father; the whole family.
[Soundbite] Kim Seon-hui (Family Book Author) : “We made the family photo album to save our family's special memories.”
A year's worth of photographs has been compiled to make it. The family edited it all together, from the cover to the content.
[Soundbite]
“I thought it'd be complicated. I tried it once and it wasn't as hard as I thought.”
They upload the picture files and resize them. And they write about the memories that go along with the photos. Then they send the edited pictures to an online company that makes personalized books in just one day. Choosing a theme makes the book even better. A collection of pictures of the child’s life from birth makes a great record of growing up. You can also put the pictures in a calendar. The end result is as good as books that are sold in stores.
[Soundbite]
“It's priceless because it's one of a kind. It also makes you feel happy to look at it once in a while.”
If you want to make a book of your own, you may want to visit an atelier. You can make books by taking a free class.
[Soundbite]
“We're making a journal.”
Diaries also become more special if you make them yourself. Try making and decorating one by hand. Housewives who love to cook can make cookbooks and movie buffs can make ticket scrapbooks by pasting used tickets inside and adding reviews. Old books or journals can become unique with a change of cover.
[Soundbite]
“I've had this since my college year. It's out of print, so I asked for the new cover to keep it longer.”
You can create an antique-style look by covering a used book with the leather of your choice and putting a button on it. Applying this to Bibles, journals or even your own biography makes them collector's items. Of course, books have educational value too.
[Soundbite]
“Publicizing your own book helps you develop your reading, writing and speaking skills.”
This mother and child are making a special book of their own. Today's theme is “gifts for Santa Claus.” They can become writers while putting their thoughts down on gifts and decorating them. They write the title and even the price.
[Soundbite]
“I feel like I'm a writer now. It's really fun and exciting.”
[Soundbite]
“It's very meaningful because it's the one and only book. I had such a great time adding more values to something priceless.”
Making your own book is a great way to start out the new year by preserving memories from years past.
