설 전인데 난 전을 부치고 설음식을 만드느라 분주한 게 전혀 아니다. 나의 남편도 친구를 불러 지금 거실에서 모차르트의 음악을 감상하고 있다. 그 집도 우리 집도 모두 모두 가족이 외국에 있기 때문이다. 그냥 이렇게 지내는 설 명절도 있다. 난 거실로 통하는 문을 열어 둔 채 살며시 안방으로 와 틀어주는 음악을 들으며 이렇게 나의 노트북을 두들기고 있다. 참 묘한 설전야다.
Today’s Topic
Are you usually on time for appointments? Have you ever made your friend angry because of being late? Explain the situation.
I am usually on time or early for appointments. I enjoy the time before appoitments in the cafe or in the platform for the train. Let me explain it wth my experience. I live in Ulsan, which is located in the south area of the Republic of Korea but I have been born in Seoul, so I visit Seoul so often. Whenever I go to the train station, I arrive thre almost one or more hours before the train departs. The reason why I go to the station so early is that I like drinking coffee at the Hollice Coffee located in that station. I like the Vanilla Delight coffee there so much. I write something with my notebook there with that delicious coffee before the train departs. How happy I am when I am doing what I like most. It's great. So I always enjoy the time before the engagement. If I am not, I have to hurry to get to the place on time. It's terrible. Therefore, even, today I hurry to go to the place of appointment two hours before. I will wait for my friend while reading books or writing something with my notebook. How wonderful it is.

Rules in Writing Numbers
General Rule: Spell out whole numbers (as well as ordinal numbers) 0-9 and use figures for numbers 10 and above (examples: zero, one man, five years, 10 boxes, 96 people, 104 books, ninth floor, 15th floor).
아하. 정말 중요한 팁이다. 내 멋대로 내키는 대로 숫자를 쓰거나 전체를 쓰거나 했는데 아하. 그러니까 0에서 9까지는 숫자를 스펠링으로 적어주어야 하고 10 이상은 숫자로 쓰는구나. 아하.
zero, one man, five years, ninth floor.... 그러니까 10 이하는 반드시 알파벳으로 쓸것.
