Warm-up
Talk about these questions with your teacher.
선생님과 이야기해 보세요.
- The passage presents a "wish list" and a "dish list" as universal. If you created your own lists today, how different would they be from the ones in this passage?
- Many items on the "dish list" -- exercise, studying hard, breaking old habits -- are things widely regarded as beneficial. Why do we resist what we know is good for us?

Reading
Read the passage with your teacher.
선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
All of us go through our lives with strong likes and dislikes. We all have a “wish list” of the things we would like to do or have, and a “dish list” of things we never want. Many items on these lists are particular to their authors, but most of them would probably fit onto a universal list. I bet that you agree with all of the items listed below:Wish ListHave many friends
Make some money or get more pocket money
Get ahead of others in school
Eat delicious things such as candy, instant foods, fast foods with cola, high-calorie
foods
Wear designer clothes and top-brand sneakers
Get more attention from others
Inherit money from your parents
Have a latest cellular phone
Play computer games all nightDish ListGetting up early in the morning
Listening to your nagging parents
Reading boring books
Exercise
Doing homework and studying hard
Seeing others succeed when you don’t
Brushing your teeth after every meal
Breaking old habits and developing new skillsOr was I wrong? What items would you remove from either list?
What would you add to both lists?

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
'latest'는 최상급 형용사이므로 항상 'the'와 함께 씁니다. 'a latest'는 틀린 표현입니다. 마찬가지로 'the best', 'the most' 등도 항상 'the'를 쓰세요.
Discussion
Share your thoughts with your teacher.
선생님과 의견을 나눠보세요.
- The author claims most people would agree with these lists. Is this a fair assumption, or does it reflect a narrow cultural perspective?
- The "wish list" includes instant gratification items like fast food and gaming, while the "dish list" features long-term investments like exercise and studying. What does this tension reveal about human nature?
- "Seeing others succeed when you don’t" is on the dish list. Is envy an inevitable human emotion, or can it be channeled productively?
- The passage mentions wanting to "get ahead of others in school." Is competition in education healthy or destructive?
- If you could move one item from the "dish list" to the "wish list" through a change in mindset, which would it be and how would you make that shift?
