  1. Have you ever sent an important document — like a cover letter or email — and later found an embarrassing typo? What happened?
    자기소개서나 이메일 같은 중요한 문서를 보낸 후에 부끄러운 오타를 발견한 적이 있나요? 어떤 일이 있었나요?
  2. When you proofread your own writing, what do you usually check for first — spelling, grammar, or overall tone?
    본인이 쓴 글을 교정할 때 보통 맞춤법, 문법, 전체적인 어조 중 무엇을 먼저 확인하나요?

Reading

Read the passage with your teacher.
선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.

Cover letters should be free of errors, so thoroughly proofread them before sending. If proofreading is not your strong suit, get help from someone with meticulous proofreading skills. If you're customizing a cover letter that you use for many positions, remove any placeholders; this will prevent embarrassing errors such as" it would be delighted to be your next?" And one last tip: whatever you do, please spell the hiring manager's name correctly.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ I will proofread my cover letter for three times before sending it.
✅ I will proofread my cover letter three times before sending it.

한국어에서는 "세 번을" 이라고 조사를 붙여 말하기 때문에 영어에서도 "for three times"처럼 전치사 for를 넣는 실수를 자주 합니다. 영어에서 횟수를 나타낼 때는 전치사 없이 "three times"만 쓰면 됩니다. 예를 들어 "I checked it twice"처럼 횟수 표현 앞에 for를 붙이지 않도록 주의하세요.
