Today’s Topic
Do you think it would be beneficial to take a specialized English course, such as an English cookery course? What kind of specialized English course would you want to take?
Yes, I think it would be beneficial to take a specialized English course. I want to take an English Worship course. There is no English Worship in the church where I go. But I want to sing hymns and read the Bible in English. So I sing hymns in English very quietly not to be heard by others and I read the Bible in English with the NIV Bible very secretly not to be seen by others. And I write the Bible in English.Why? I think it would be so beneficial as follows: First, I read the Bible as much as possible. Second, I don't forget the English words even though I don't have any opportunity to speak or read in English after quitting my job for almost 40 years. It's great reading the Bible in English. I can understand more clearly than reading it in Korean. And it makes me concentrate to the contents more and more to read it in English. I have to read the Bible every day and I have to study English not to forget it. If I read the Bible in English, it is a kind of equal gain. How wonderful it is.
오늘은 긴 설명이 뒤따라왔다. 나의 글에 안타까운 점이 많았나보다. 감사하다고 가르쳐주신 것에 관한 한 틀리지않도록 노력하겠다고 답했다. 그렇다면 다시는 틀리지 않기 위하여 그의 코멘트를 기록하여 자주 들여다볼지어다. 하하
You should congratulate yourself for writing today! In your free time, please practice:
나 자신을 축하해주라니... 호홋 잘 썼다는 말일까. 그냥 제 4단계까지 잘 왔다는 말이겠지. 어쨌든 난 무엇이건 내게 좋은 쪽으로만 해석. 하하. 시간 날 때 연습하라했지만 지금 당장!
- Proper usage of prepositions.
Study prepositions of time, space, and neither time nor space carefully.
시간, 공간, 그리고 시간과 공간 아닌 곳에 쓰이는 전치사를 공부하라.
Example:
TO (not to be confused with TO+verb as it is different):
used as a function word to indicate movement
or an action or condition suggestive of movement
toward a place, person, or thing reached.
To 동사와 혼동말라. 옛쏠~ 하하
전치사 To 는 어디를 향하여~ 를 가리키는 기능어.
BY: through the agency or a person; instrumentality of.
By 는 그 어떤 수단의 ... 사람을 통한.
나는 이렇게 썼다. So I sing hymns in English very quietly not to be heard to the others ...
빨간 색 단어를 by 로 첨삭해 주면서 이리도 긴 친절한 해설이 곁들여졌다. 얼마나 고마운가. 한국식으로 다른 사람에게 들리지 않도록.... 그래서 to를 썼는데 아닌가 보다. the 를 쓰는 것도 아닌가 보다. 하하
NOTE: Some prepositions have plenty of meanings. It is better to always check the dictionary.
일부 전치사는 정말 많은 뜻을 갖고 있다. 그러므로 항상 사전을 참고하라. 옛쏠~ 귀찮아서 그냥 써버리고 마는데 종종 사전을 참고하도록 하자.
- Using the COLON (:). It is used to announce, introduce, or direct attention to a list, a noun or noun phrase, a quotation, or an example/explanation. Use a colon to introduce an item or a series of items. Do not capitalize the first item after the colon (unless it's a proper noun).
오호 콜론 다음에는 고유명사가 아니면 절대로 첫단어를 대문자로 쓰면 안되는구나.
Examples:
You know what to do: practice.
You may be required to bring many things: sleeping bags, pans, utensils, and warm clothing.
그렇지. 요렇게 그냥 목록 나열일 때는 콜론 뒤에 소문자로 시작. 문장의 연장처럼. 아하.
Capitalize the first word after a colon if the information following the colon requires two or more complete sentences.
Maggie wears a brimmed cap at all times for these two reasons: Strong light often gives her a headache. She also likes the way it looks.
앗, 그러나 뒤에 두 개 이상의 완성된 문장이 올 경우엔 대문자를 쓰는구나. 그래서 내가 첫째 둘째 하고 문장이 나가니까 대문자로 써야했구나. 지난 번 글에서는 콜론 뒤에 그냥 문장 중이니까 라고 생각하여 소문자로 썼었는데 똑같은데 그 때 강사는 요것을 지적 못하고 지금 강사는 지적해 준다. 나는 그래서 무조건 콜론 뒤에는 소문자를 써야하는가보다 라고 생각했는데 그렇구나. 명확한 설명. 두가지 이상 완성된 문장으로 설명을 해야할 때는 콜론 바로 뒤에 대문자를 써라!!!
- Using commas after introductory words. Introductory words, like introductory phrases, require a comma. After introductory words, we use a comma to separate the introductory word from the independent clause. The introductory word in the sentence will frequently be an adverb. Consider the sample sentences below:
문장을 시작하는 단어들 뒤에는 콤마를 써라! 문장에서 시작하는 단어는 종종 부사가 된다.
WRONG: Meanwhile the dog stared at the bone.
CORRECT: Meanwhile, the dog stared at the bone.
오호, 콤마를 그리 크게 생각 안했는데 요런 경우 꼭 써줘야 하는구나.
WRONG: Furthermore the educational institution will prosecute those individuals who plagiarize the institution’s written works.
CORRECT: Furthermore, the educational institution will prosecute those individuals who plagiarize the institution’s written works.
아하~
WRONG: Suddenly an angry black bear appeared.
CORRECT: Suddenly, an angry black bear appeared.
오호~ 히히
* Certain frequency adverbs -- usually, sometimes, normally, occasionally, often, and frequently -- can appear at the beginning or end of a main clause as well as before the verb they modify. If they appear at the beginning, they are usually (but not always) followed by a comma. For example:
usually, sometimes, normally, occasionally, often, frequently 단어로 시작할 때는
반드시 콤마를 찍자. 오케이.
"Usually, I would go to the movies on Sundays, but not this time."
그치 요렇게 앞에 올 때는 콤마를 찍어주고,
"He comes up to visit sometimes."
요케 뒤에 올 때는 콤마 안 찍고. 하긴 바로 뒤에 마침표가 오는데 쉼표를 오데
찍는다고. 나도 참. 하하
"Occasionally I’ll read a romance novel as a guilty pleasure."
앗, 요긴 쉼표가 없네. 앞에 쓰였는데도. 반드시가 아니라 하더니 이런 경우인가.
무슨 차이일까?
* In using HOWEVER as a conjunctive adverb and at the middle of a sentence, it’s usual to use a semi-colon (;) before, a comma (,) after "however" when you are using it to write a compound sentence (rules differ when using HOWEVER as an "aside," or when interrupting a sentence. In that case, we only surround HOWEVER with two commas).
* In using HOWEVER at the beginning of a sentence, it must be followed by a comma.
아하, However 를 접속부사로 쓸 때와 문장 한 가운데 쓸 때는 쎄미콜론을 써주고 따로 쓸 때는 그냥 앞 뒤로 콤마를 찍어주고. 문장 시작 때는 반드시 콤마를 찍어주고. 오케이~ 잘 기억하잣.
