Please tell us about your neighbors.




Let me tell you about a family living across from my aparment, the Songs. They are really nice people.

 - nice <-> impolite, rude, mean, not very friendly


1. They moved in about a year ago, and introduced themselves by bringing over some food.


2. They are very friendly and sociable, especially Mrs. Song.

 - kind : 마음씨가 고운 착한, generous     cf) friendly : 친절한


She is a stay-at-home mom and a phenominal cook.

 - stay-at-home = housewife(politically incorrect), housekeeper
 - stewardess -> flight attendant
 - policeman -> police officer
 - fireman -> fire fighter
 - secretary -> assistant


4. Mr. Song works in a financial industry, and he quite often burns the midnight oil.

 - burn the midnight oil = work very hard = burn a candle from both ends


4-1.They also have a daughter in high school.


5. She usually comes home late after finishing private tutoring classes.


I really don't know how she does it.

It's ashamed that we can't see more of each other.
But it seems that we're all too busy.

3. Sometimes, when I get to big stressed out, watching people down in the park really helps me take my mind off of things.


4. Of course, I can see all the hustle and bustle of(?) downtown Seoul as well.

 - hustle and bustle = rush of people, very busy 웅성거림, 소란스러움


5. The streets below aline with traffic and pedestrians.

5-1. Since I'm up Sometime off on a high floor of my building I also have a view of the beautiful blue sky.

Topic : Many Korean young students go overseas to study English these days, right?
What do you think about this trend?


in most cases they are separated with their family.



What is your opinion on sending kids overseas to learn English when they are young?

1. I have mixed feelings about sending kids overseas for English education at an early age.


2. I think childhood is an important time for child's development, and forcing a child to live in a completely different country other than Korea could make them culturely confused.


3. First,  they could have a hard time adjusting to the new environment.

- adjusting to it = getting used to it = getting comfortable with it = getting accustom to it


4. On the flip side, they could adjust so well thery're returning to Korea could be a reverse culture shock.

- on the flip side = on the other hand  이면에는,

- flip side of the coin


4-1. It's also true that families are often separated when children go abroad to study.


5. Of course, English is very important these days, but I'm personally not sure we should sacrifice children's childhood just for the sake of English education.

- for the sake of = mainly for = for the purpose of


You are what you eat. 건강하려면 잘 먹어야 한다.

 - You're what you say(or wear)
