    A part of SoP - I really need help This is the first paragraph of my graduate application SoP. I have to descript personal situation, but I am not familiar with this type of writing. If there is anyone can read through and give me some feedback, it would really be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------- Guessing an algorithm of a system is the way I explore ideas concerning the modern technology environment. I and my husband, a physicist, always discuss how a system is designed and works. When using a navigation app in a car, we talk about navigation systems’ algorithm, like “Why Waze can give better estimation than Google Map, and what causes the difference?”. I consider a possible explanation for a question for the questions, including utilization of input data and optimization algorithms. And I try to evaluate the explanations via web searching or other materials. I think that if I were a developer, it would be grateful to participate in this fascinating field. This interest and motivation toward technologies lead me to apply to your program.

    A: 너 연강이지? B: 응, 교양 하나. 생과대까지 가야 돼. in this dialog, "연강" is an abbreviated form of "연속 강의", which means taking two classes continuously. and "교양" in B means a subject which is not related to one's major. If B is not majoring Biology, then, any class in Biology department can be a "교양".

    1. I think "신나는" is an adjective in this sentence. The sentence means " It was an exciting Friday" and "신나는" is exciting. 2. 저는 금요일마다 밤새 술을 마셔요. => I drink all night every Friday night. "마다" is every in this sentence. 3. 춤을 추다 = "dance", 춤 = a dance, 춤을 추다 = to dance. So, B doesn't make sense, it sounds like " I will a dance" while A means "I will dance" 4. "난 가는 중이야" sounds the most natural to me,

    The two doesn't have much difference, just the slight difference in nuance. At the first sentense, I feel little emphasising at "배우다", so the sentence sounds little stronger than the latter.

    I think it's not "목 빠지게", but "뭐 빠지게". The "뭐" is used instead of a slang, so the whole meaning of "뭐 빠지게" could be "fucking crazily", some like that. It's a slang phase.

    "Would it be okay to keep your picture?" => 당신의 사진을 간직해도 되겠어요? In common sense, in Korea, "keep + noun (ex. picture, memory, money...)" => "keep" is translated to "간직하다." ~ close to save. "keep + -ing (ex. working, saying,...)" => to "-을 유지하다". "maintain + noun (ex. building, system, ...) " also means "noun을 유지하다"

    I feel "정말로" is stronger impression than "정말". "정말" sounds more natural than "정말로", for a common converstaion.

    You can use "이모님" to elder female clerks (older than late 40s), in special, in a restaurant. You can use "아가씨" to young female clerks, both of restaurants and shops. Both of words is commonly using to address a female clerk, however, it is depending on the age and the situation (what kind of store you're in). Therefore, I also recommend you to use "여기요" to address you need their help. (me, neither, I rarely use "이모님, 아가씨"). FYI. Your Korean spelling is perfect!
