Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
'very much'는 동사 수식에 쓰이지만 'contributed'와 함께 쓸 때는 'significantly' 또는 'greatly'가 더 자연스럽습니다. 명사형 'made a great contribution'도 좋습니다.
Discussion
Share your thoughts with your teacher.
선생님과 의견을 나눠보세요.
- Mother Teresa was called "The Saint of the Gutters." Does working with the poorest of the poor require sainthood, or should it be a normal civic responsibility?
- Audrey Hepburn transitioned from Hollywood star to UNICEF ambassador. How effective are celebrities at "calling attention" to global issues compared to journalists or scientists?
- Princess Diana used her fame to focus on AIDS and land mines. How does the "power of celebrity" differ from the "power of government" when addressing global problems?
- All three women died relatively young. Does premature death affect how we remember public figures? Would their legacies be as strong if they had lived longer?
- Who is a contemporary figure -- Korean or international -- that you think is making a comparable difference in the world?
