Park，a 30-year-old Korean housewife，recently took a personality test to figure out who she is. "Just like many other people，I don't exactly know who I am，" she told The Korea Times. "Sometimes I am curious what makes me feel good or bad.I've taken several different types of tests to know myself better and the MBTI is one that I tried recently. "In Korea，the MBTI personality test has become the newest trend，particularly among millennials （千禧一代）.
MBTI，which stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator，is a personality test.People answer a questionnaire based on a personality theory.A Hankook survey taken last December found that over half of Koreans have taken the MBTI test.Nine out of every 10 people aged between 19 and 28 responded they took the test.Meanwhile，for those who had never been involved in the test，three quarters showed strong interest，indicating the personality type test has become a phenomenon for younger generations.
The MBTI craze among the younger generation，who are struggling with an uncertain future，reflects their desire for acceptance and comfort in knowing there are like-minded people out there. "The country has limited resources and geography，while its people feature a certain devotion and goal-oriented （目標(biāo)導(dǎo)向型的） characteristic，" said Lee Myung-jin，a professor of sociology at Korea University.Consequently，they have grown eager on various personality indicators that provide them comfort.
As MBTI has gone viral among younger Koreans，businesses and media have begun to promote products using the personality test.But such MBTI-based marketing strategies have annoyed some younger people who don't rely on the results of the test.However，experts agree that the popularity of the test also brings some positive implications. "I believe we're in a transition period，" Kim Jae hyoung，a head researcher of the Korea MBTI institute said. "This trend could develop a social acceptance and affection for mental guidance in the future."

1．Each year on Halloween，children look forward to trick-or-treating （不請客就搗亂） for candies．But for some kids，eating Halloween candies can be dangerous．
That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy（過敏癥）．They are allergic to ingredients（成分）in many Halloween candies，such as peanuts，tree nuts，milk，eggs，and beans．If they eat these foods，they will get sick or even die．
"I had to throw away all my candies with tears，" eight-year-old Conlen said．Conlen is allergic to peanuts，tree nuts，and dairy．Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts．She has been trick-or-treating only twice． "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors，" Kylie said． "It felt terrible．"

Kylie loves the idea．"The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe，" she said．"It makes me feel like a normal kid，and it makes everyone feel included．"

3．Besides the excitement of travel，one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs，holidays，foods，art，music，and politics first-hand.
"I learned the language and am now fluent，but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures，people，and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family，not from the tourist's point of view，" says Andrew，who studied in Poitiers，F(xiàn)rance.
Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas，Venezuela，a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35，000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that？
Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition（過渡）to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers（同齡人）. "After having gone abroad in high school，I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
Most of all，it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.
