Angelina Jolie lives in two worlds: Hollywood, where she makes movies and stays in five-star hotels, and the refugee camps of Africa and Asia, where she works with the UN, bringing hope to the homeless. She feels most alive, most herself, she says, working with people who've endured great losses yet still feel grateful for life.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "나는 그녀의 팬이다"처럼 현재형으로 말하기 때문에 영어에서도 "I am"을 쓰기 쉽습니다. 하지만 과거부터 지금까지 계속되는 상태를 표현할 때는 현재완료(have been)를 사용해야 합니다. 또한 "since"는 특정 시점(since 2016), "for"는 기간(for 10 years)과 함께 쓴다는 점도 기억하세요.
