Reading

What special skills do you have?A: I'm good at handling computers.
I have had trainings at computing institutes since I was young.
I'm especially good at softwares, though i can troubleshoot hardware.
I have a good working knowledge of computing languages. I can program in java and c++. I can do basic web design using HTML and JavaScript, but I work well with web-editors like Dreamweaver.
I'm quite creative at graphic design using Flash , Adobe Illustrator, and of course Photoshop. I created my very own homepage. You can check it out if you wish.
B: if you could call motivating people a special skill, then that's what I have. I think I understand what make people move. Of course this comes from experience.
C: My friends tell me that I can make people feel at ease. I guess its because I try to be friendly and nice. My girlfriend told me that I should have been a Doctor, because I have a "bed side manner."
D: I think I'm skillful at persuasion. I can be eloquent if I have to, and persistent if the situation demands. I suppose if you need a good salesman, you'd be have the right pick if you chose me.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make when describing skills.
자신의 기술을 설명할 때 한국인이 자주 하는 실수입니다.
"good at"은 기술/활동과 함께 쓰고 (good at programming), 도구와 함께 쓸 때는 "good with"를 사용합니다 (good with computers). 또한 "computer"는 일반적으로 복수형 "computers"를 씁니다.
한국어 "성격이 밝다"를 "personality is bright"로 직역하면 안 됩니다. 영어에서는 "outgoing," "cheerful," 또는 "warm" personality라고 표현합니다.
