I always figured that she just thought I was Monica’s geeky older brother. Give me a break. I wanna take a rest. It’s hard being on my own for the fist time. Everyone says “obviously, you will get success.” But I don’t think so. Because I should try to practice harder. Isn’t it? That’s how I get success.

문장별 설명:
• “Give me a break. I wanna take a rest.”
자연스럽게:
“Give me a break — I need some rest.”
(*“Wanna”*는 구어체에선 괜찮지만, *“need some rest”*가 더 자연스럽고 부드러워요.)
• “It’s hard being on my own for the fist time.”
오타 수정: fist first
• “Everyone says ‘obviously, you will get success.’”
자연스럽게 고치면:
“Everyone says, ‘Obviously, you’ll be successful.’”
(“get success”는 어색하고, “be successful”이 자연스러워요.)
• “Because I should try to practice harder. Isn’t it?”
더 원어민답게:
“I think I need to practice harder — that’s how I’ll succeed, right?”
(여기선 “Isn’t it?”보다 “right?”가 더 자연스러워요.)
