선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
I don't have a clear memory of the day my third son, Zachary, took his first steps, but I'll never forget the day he learned to use a mouse. He was three and a half, and he'd been sitting on my lap at the computer for months. I'd fold my hand over his and together we'd move the cursor to a picture he wanted to see hop, dance, twitch, jump, speak or sing. He'd press the mouse button with his chubby finger and giggle at the results. Then one day, we were playing an alphabet program when I was called to the phone. On my way back, I saw Zachary, his forehead furrowed intently, maneuver the cursor onto a letter and click. The figure sprung into action and he turned to me, his face triumphant.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어로는 "인터넷에서 검색했다"라고 해서 'in'을 쓰기 쉽지만, 영어에서는 인터넷이라는 플랫폼 위에서 활동하는 개념이므로 반드시 on the Internet이라고 합니다. 또한 '검색하다'는 'search + 목적어'가 아니라 search for를 사용해야 자연스럽습니다.
