001) Would it make a difference if the sentence was like this? Does the sentence must have "a" in front of "Changjin High School"? 02br

002) Also, please tell me why there is no article before "Korea

01) No this makes no difference what follows the word student. You will always need an article there.02br
02br
002) Because Korean is describing Kim - She is Korean (in the same sense that she is tall/fat/whatever) which means she is a Korean.02br
02br
003) You are right, this is because it is being used in a general sense.02br
