선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
Karen Mullin had always been able to eat what she wanted with no worries of packing on pounds?until she began battling “middle age spread” last year at age 44. Despite eating right and exercising, the scale wouldn’t budge. Frustrated, Mullin took Ritalin, a drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, “borrowing” it from a friend. One of its side effects is weight loss, making it a popular diet drug for everyone from soccer moms to starlets. “You hear about how some drugs like Ritalin can just melt the pounds off,” she says, “so you figure why not?”
Drugs for depression, anxiety, and seizures are being used for weight loss. But do they work?and are they safe?

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "다이어트 중이야"라고 관사 없이 말하기 때문에 영어에서도 관사를 빠뜨리는 경우가 많습니다. 영어에서 "diet"이 "체중 조절을 위한 식단 관리"라는 뜻으로 쓰일 때는 반드시 관사 "a"를 붙여서 "on a diet"이라고 해야 합니다. 또한 한국어의 "다이어트"는 주로 살 빼기를 뜻하지만, 영어의 "diet"은 단순히 평소 먹는 식습관이라는 뜻도 있으니 문맥에 주의하세요.
