: 레인 할머니께 보낸 이메일
기왕에 이메일을 쓸거면
Chat GPT에 먼저 초안을 작성한 후
아래처럼 "Fixt this"라고 Prompt만 치면
멋지게 내가 몰랐던 영어 표현을
내가 표현하고 싶은 문맥, 상황에
딱 맞게 활용해서
알려주는 멋진
나의 영어 조력자.
이런 방법은
영어 교수법의 용어로 빌리자면
meaningful context
raising awareness on useful key expressions
등을 도와주는 좋은
영어 학습 방법이다.
이 브런치 매거진을 통해
레인 할머니(미국에서 만난 나의 멘토이신 할머니)와 이런 저런 이메일를 주고 받으며
나의 영어 정확도를 높이게 만드는 자료를 Archiving할 계획이다.
앞으로 나의 멋진 영어 학습 기록 저장고로 좋은 자료가 될 듯 하다.

Hi, Lain.
I had survived a challening 4 week long online teacher training course and a flu since our last Zoom meeting. I am thankful that the Lord sustained me through the challenges.
S.W. has been taking his final exams. Today is his 3rd day with one more day to go. Thank you for your praying for him, which S.W. finds a great comfort and strength.
I hoped the Thanksgiving gathering was a good fellowship time. Time flies even when we are not having such a big fun. It is already the last month of 2025 and the 1st anniversary of our meeting. I appreciate your special consideration about upcoming one. It is just a perfect timing to talk about Jesus birth. I shared the questions on chat room. I hope that S.Y. can join us at the same time zone as mine.
I am so looking forward to our next meeting.
