    My car I have a car that is old but comfortable. When I was young, I didn't expect that I would have a car. At that time, I thought I can live my life without having a car because there are many comfortable public transportations in my country and city. Particularly, I liked to take the subway the most. Subway brings back my memories of when I was a college student. Sounds of trains, voices of an announcement, and cool and warm air. What I remember the most is a feeling of spring and autumn. They smell so sweet and fresh. It's been a while since I smell these seasons in the subway because I drive a car rather than taking the subway. Even though now is way more convenient, I sometimes miss the time when I had to take the subway. *Please correct my sentences in a natural way. Thanks in advance!

    What I like to eat I watched a movie earlier this afternoon. The title of the movie was quite strange and weird, but it was a movie of my favorite genre. I liked that tension-raising editing (?) and video. I was so concentrated on the movie that I became hungry after finishing it. "Should I order something to eat?" I just cooked fried rice with eggs. I think I'm going to go grocery shopping tomorrow to get a carton of milk. As I usually stay at home all day, I tend to find nutritious food materials. In America, some grocery shops offer a bag with a handle, but others don't. I'm going to buy a big cloth shopping bag so that I would be able to put heavy things into it. *Please correct my sentences in a more natural way! Thanks in advance.

    Books I Like (4) There was a bookstore in my hometown. It was not that big but always full of many people as it was located in the bus terminal. It was my great pleasure to stop by the bookstore and look around newly published books and those that attract my interests. Some people read books leaning on a wall, and others sat on a comfortable bench and spent their time. At that time, I was interested in books about things like thinking and life. It's been a long time since I've been there. I don't know why exactly, but when I think of the bookstore, I become a little sad because it recalls memories of my youth. What did I live for then? What did I think at that time? What was I happy and sad about? Time flies too fast. *Please correct my sentences in a natural way by rewriting or correcting them! Thanks in advance.

    질문

    밤에는 기숙사 점호가 끝나는 어수선한 시간에 들어가 침대와 침대 사이 바닥에 담요를 깔고 잤다.
    여기서 '어수선하다'는 무슨 뜻인가요?
    점호가 끝나면 방에 가서 잠을 자는 시간이라서 조용해질 것 같은데요?

    '어수선하다'는 번잡하다, 부산하다의 의미를 지닙니다.
    글 내용 중 침대와 침대 사이 바닥에 담요를 깔고 자는 것으로 보아, 몰래(?) 들어가 잠을 듯한 모습이 떠오릅니다.

    기숙사 점호가 끝나는 시간이면, 다들 잠자리에 들기 전 마지막 활동을 하느라 움직이는 모습,
    혹은 모든 사람이 기숙사 안에 있는 모습이 떠오르기 때문에, 어수선한 시간이라 표현한 것 같습니다.
    기숙사 점호가 끝나는 시간이 꼭 잠에 드는 시간을 지칭하는 건 아니라고 생각합니다.
    점호가 끝나고 각자의 시간을 보내도 되니까요.
    최소한 점호가 끝나는 시간은 다른 시간대보다 많은 사람들이 기숙사 안에 밀집해 있을거라 생각합니다.



    여행의 이유 첫 장을 다 읽었다.
    '추방과 멀미'라는 제목이었다.
    대학생 때 처음으로 비행기를 타고 중국에 갔을 때의 이야기가 재미있었다.
    당시에 공산주의 국가였던 중국의 대학생으로부터 자신의 꿈은 미국으로 유학을 가는 거라는 말을 듣고 충격을 받았다는 이야기였다.
    그리고 작가가 그 여행에 같이 간 형사와 친해지고 나중에 체포됐을 때 그 형사 덕분에 살았다는 이야기도 재미있었다.
    바라건대 소설이 아니니 좀 복잡하게 쓰지 말았으면 좋겠는데.

    Books I Like (3) I read books very slowly. I don't know why, but when my voice of reading books is fast, I can't understand the content well. I often adjust the speed and tone of reading to fit the content and mood of the book. It makes me more deeply immersed in the book. That's why I read only several books a month. When I was in school, reading fast was quite an important thing to get good grades in exams. Now that I read books not for exams, but for self-development, emotional stability, and pure curiosity, I don't feel I need to change my style. I'm fully enjoying books in my own style. *Please correct or rewrite the sentences in a natural way! Thanks in advance!

    여행의 이유를 읽기 시작했다.

    오늘부터 김영하의 산문집 '여행의 이유'를 읽기 시작했다.
    오늘은 9퍼센트까지 읽었다.

    자의:自分の考え
    조삼모사:朝三暮四
    떳떳하다:堂々としている
    리라:意思、するつもり
    겨울 방학을 맞아 본격적으로 작업을 해보리라 결심하고
    마냥:ひたすら
    투자 목적으로 마냥 놀리기는 뭐하니 관광객들에게
    만:?
    나는 그 짐들을 모두 끌고 만 하루도 안 돼 집으로 돌아온 것이다.
    개연성:蓋然性、その事柄が実際に起こるか否か、真であるか否かの、確実性の度合
    ㄹ걸:だろう、不確かな推量
    푸근하다:ぽかぽかしている
    연신:続けて何度も
    북적이다:ごったがえす
    나는 제복을 입은 요원들로 북적이는 사무실 한구석으로
    퀴퀴하다:蒸れたりして臭い
    한데:一か所
    간체:簡体
    선선히:快く
    들이밀다:押しいれる
    진귀하다:珍奇だ
    볏:とさか
    닭 볏
    애피타이저:前菜
    담대하다:大胆だ
    부레:浮袋
    잉어 부레
    기호:嗜好


    질문

    나는 그 짐들을 모두 끌고 만 하루도 안 돼 집으로 돌아온 것이다.
    여기서 '만'은 무슨 뜻인가요?

    국어사전에 '만'을 검색하면 '시기나 햇수를 꽉 차게 헤아림을 이르는 말'이라고 나옵니다.
    한국의 나이를 표현하는 방법에 대해 들어보셨을 겁니다.
    일본과 달리, 태어났을 때 아기의 나이를 한국에서는 보통 한살로 표현하지만, '만' 나이로 표현하면 갓난아기는 만 0세가 됩니다.
    1년이 지나야 만 1세가 되지요.
    즉 '만' 뒤에 나오는 시기를 실제로 꽉 채운 것을 뜻하는 표현입니다.

    글에서 '만 하루'는 결국 '하루를 꽉 채운 시간' 즉 '24시간'과 같은 표현입니다.
    24시간도 안 돼 집으로 돌아왔다. 고 이해하시면 편할 것 같습니다.
    한국의 문화에 기반한 독특한 표현 중에 하나라고 생각합니다.




    김영하 작가의 소설을 읽은 적이 있다.
    한국어 문학 반에서 선생님이 고르신 것인데, 재미없었다.
    뭔가 읽는 사람을 놀리는 것 같은 것이 마음에 안 들었다.
    하지만 다른 한국어 선생님이 수필은 제미있다고 추천해 주셔서 이번에 읽어 보기로 했다.
    <s style="user-select: auto;">지금은</s> 중국 공항에서 추방을 당해 하루 만에 인천으로 돌아가게 된 이야기인데, 재미있다.
    그런 상황이라면 보통 그 경험을 교훈으로 하거나 중국에 대해서 불<s style="user-select: auto;">만</s>을 가지게 되었다라는 식으로 쓰는데 그는 다르다.
    그게 재미있다.
    새로운 시점을 얻을 수 있을 것 같다.

    정말 잘 쓰시네요!

    Books I like (2) When I was younger, I actually did not enjoy reading books. At that time, there were so many things I enjoy like hanging out with friends and listening to music. Most of all, I did not need to deeply think about myself or the world around me. I got interested in books as I became older. I began to think about my life, and books were really helpful for that. They provided new perspectives and made me think about many crucial questions that can arise as people grow up. Thanks to books, I got to be able to think outside the box. Even if there are a lot of things full of exciting attractions, I believe books will be still powerful media in the modern and future world. *Please correct my sentences in a natural way (by correcting or rewriting sentences).

    Books I like Reading a book is one of the most important things I regularly do. Especially, I like to read an autobiography written by people in many different fields. When I read a book, in addition to being inspired by the content of the book, the act of just reading a book itself comforts me. It makes me deeply immersed in the world of the book and the author's mind, which makes me different from before. I think people can spend every day boldly thanks to the precious heritage of books. *Please correct my sentences in a natural way (by rewriting or correcting the sentences) ! Thanks in advance!

    About studying English Studying English is one of the important things that I have to do throughout my life. Since the majority of crucial information is delivered and expressed in English, as a non-native speaker like me, it is like an evitable homework. I've studied English mainly because I need to get information (input) from text or video. But since I'm intensively working with people who speak English, writing well and speaking fluently (output) also became essential. It will not be easy to develop various aspects at the same time, but I hope that I can gradually improve my English even if it is slow. *Please correct or rewrite my sentences in a more natural way!
