What weighs more than 87,000 tons and is twice the size of #Texas? The Great #Pacific Garbage Patch, according to a study published Thursday.

In the report, @TheOceanCleanup estimates this soup of trash in the northern Pacific contains 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic — enough to give every person in the world 250 scraps of this debris.

These are for Android, but I’m sure you can find similar apps for iOS too.

좋은글모음 Play Store link This one gives you a 명언 ‘wise saying’ everyday. It also has a widget function so you don’t have to open it everyday. I write down each day’s saying in my notebook. The app’s interface is clean and really pretty. Search for ‘명언’ or ‘ 좋은 글’ to find similar apps!

마시멜로 이야기 Play Store You can set a 목표 ‘goal’ and everytime you complete it, it gives you a marshmallow. Or more, because you can set the number of marshmallows you’ll receive for completed goals. You can set more goals, due dates…and it also has a widget function, which asks you if you completed the goal for today, if yes then you receive marshmallows! If not, they take the same amount of marshmallows you would have received. :(  Search for ‘ 목표달성’ or ‘ 습관 만들기’ to find similar apps!

씀 Play Store This one gives you two titles a day, and you can write you thoughts about it. You can check the previous titles too. This is great if you would like to write but you have no idea what to write about. You can read other’s writing too. This app’s interface is really clean, but if you want to read other’s writings you have to wait since it tends to be a bit slow.

띄어쓰기 Play Store 띄어쓰기 means ‘spacing words‘. You have to learn how to properly space words when writing Korean. You can learn&play at the same time with this app. It gives you a sentence with two words highlighted. You have to decide whether they belong together or they need a space between them. Then it shows whether your answer is right or wrong, then the full sentence written correctly, and an explanation in Korean. It saves your answers so you can go back and check what you did wrong. Check this app’s developer, they have some nice apps! You can find similar apps if you search for ‘ 띄어쓰기 ‘.  Also search for ‘ 맞춤법’ which means orthography, the rules of spelling!
