선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.

A vacation is a good way of reducing stress. People who are often confined to offices should go out once in a while for a relaxing break. Vacationists often visit beaches and snow parks, but others prefer visits to foreign countries for a little cultural immersion. Classic favorites are Paris, for romance, Tuscany, for the sunny countryside, and New Orleans, for the exotic French-African cultural merge. Some people would want hyper getaways like a trip to the Amazon or a rock-climbing adventure at the Himalayas. Still, some would just want a quiet vacation from work, stay at home, cook, watch television, relax, before another working day comes.
Opinion Sample:
People often get culture-shocked when they visit a foreign country. They find foreign gestures strange, and therefore come up with wrong assumptions. The French greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. Some people find these appalling. In America, it is normal to see people kissing on the streets. Some people who see this practice find it vulgar. However, these are all expression normal within a cultural sphere. The best way to prevent prejudice and wrong assumptions is to learn something about the culture of a country before coming to visit. This way, not only will one achieve a greater enjoyment with his vacation, but he will also earn higher cultural appreciation as well.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ I will go to vacation next week.
✅ I will go on vacation next week.

한국어로는 "휴가를 가다"라고 해서 영어에서도 'go to vacation'이라고 직역하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서는 반드시 'go on vacation'이라고 표현합니다. 마찬가지로 'be on vacation' (휴가 중이다)도 함께 기억해 두세요.
