Milk and Broccoli
1 "I can't believe she did it again," I thought. I was sitting at the dinner table looking at my sister, Jenny, as she stared down into her glass of milk. She had dropped her broccoli into her drink to hide it. What a mess! My sister doesn't like broccoli. In fact, she doesn't like much of anything!
2 Just the other day, Mom tried to tell her that eating her vegetables would make her smart, but Jenny just looked at her. Of course, Jenny also didn't get up from the table until she ate her carrots - a slow process. Mom stood by her, making sure the food ended up in Jenny's mouth rather than in her milk.
3 If Jenny were big like me, she'd know that eating her vegetables makes you healthy and trim. I'm living proof. Every day, I eat my vegetables because I want to be the strongest man on the planet. Of course, sometimes I have to trick myself into liking them. I'll cover them with cheese sauce or honey, or mix them with my mashed potatoes. It may seem a little weird, but I'm not shy about eating them that way-it works. It's starting to pay off, especially in how I play sports. In basketball, I can jump high and tip the ball into the basket a lot. I play tug-of-war with my big dog and hold my own, and I lifted a log off a toad once (I thought he was getting squished.) So I say, put the veggies in, and muscles come out. I just wish that would work with chocolate chip cookies!

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ She dropped broccoli in the milk for hiding it.
✅ She dropped broccoli in the milk to hide it.

한국어에서 '숨기기 위해'를 영어로 옮길 때 "for hiding"이라고 쓰는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 목적(~하기 위해)을 나타낼 때는 "to + 동사원형"을 씁니다. "for + ~ing"는 용도(무엇에 쓰이는 것)를 설명할 때 사용하므로 의미가 달라집니다.
