티끌모아 영어문장
티끌이라도 모아보면 장난이 아니게 된다
언어 씹어먹기를 시작한 지 7일 차다. 이걸 시작하고 알게 된 것은 지금도 언어 공부에 시간 할애를 별로 못한 편인데도 1주일이 금방 지나가는 데, 이런 환경설정도 안 했으면 언어 공부 시간을 이것조차도 안 냈을 거란 충격적인 사실이었다. 객관적으로 내가 쏟은 시간이 그걸 증명해주고 있었고 소름이 돋았다. 그런데도 영어를 잘하고 싶다고 스트레스만 받았으니 참 말도 안 되는 헛된 정신적 소모만 했던 거다. 뭐라도 실천을 하면서 나의 행동들에 피드백을 해야 보완할 사항을 반영할 텐데 아무것도 안 하면서 '해야 하는데...'라는 마음만 먹고 있었다니... 이래서 데일리 리포트가 중요하다고 하는 거구나.
7일째가 되었으니 그동안 한 영작 표현들이 얼마나 되는지 한 번 모아봤다.

If I knew how to learn english as soon as possible, I wouldn't be writing this essay, I would be doing Youtube. But here is one thing I can do I can point out where you can see interviews that will give you additinal guidance. Just watching Netflix or Youtube is not the answer to most people's problem of learning english. In fact, I have often seen it happen that afraid in english make more stress and fear it cause more fear and stress about english.
What causes most people to worry is not that they couldn't speak english, but that they don't know how to learn english in most efficient way. Because there are so many people to say that THIS is the best way to improve your english skill. Before you give up learning english, please remember that we didn't even try to find the most efficient way to learn other languages.
I was not impressed by what I read. I think I could write a better one myself. I had been corresponding with a little girl who was the daughter of some friends. She wanted to know what was keeping me so busy, and I enjoyed trying to explain my subject to her in ways she would understand. I wasn't sure that it could be done, but I liked the challenge and agreed to try. I set out to write a chapter a day. In the morning, I would read up on the day's topic from what books were avaliable in e-book liberary. In the afternoon, I would go to the library to seek out, wherever possible. Evenings were for writing. The only exceptions were Saterdays and Sundays.
6일밖에 안되었는데 최소 한 문장씩이라도 영작을 하니 이 정도 양이 모였다는 게 놀랍다. 그저 한 줄이라도 매일매일 영작해야겠다는 데에 동기부여가 더 된다. 역시 눈으로 확인해야 한다...

One Sunday, as my husband remebers it, we were walking in the park and had stopped for a break. I said 'Do you mind if I read you something?' That something was book I wrote in that time. Evidently he like it, and the readings continued for the next six weeks until the book was done. This book is not a topic for children, but for slightly older readers. I wrote all my books in English. If there was ever to be an English edition, I was going to translate it myself. Also I would like my readers to relax, and to follow the story without having to take notes or to memorise names an dates. In fact, I promise that I shall not examine them on what they have read.(참고 예문 : refer to 'A Little history of the world by E.H. Gombrich p.20)

Is there anything I can help you with?
I have read the book called Doing Good Better by William Macaskill. It was so impressive to me. I wonder how do you think about business approach for environmental issues, rather than social movements. Because I think main reason that people don't give any attention to environmental issues is financial worries.
I think it seems to be divided into two extremes. People who doing good things don't into being a rich. I would say this is why most people don't set in motion for environmental issues.
How do you get people to pay attention to your issues?
"Do you have any plans to open information about Ad astra School?"
Ellon Musk said, "Are you interested in going to Mars? (Do you have any interest in going to Mars?)"
I said, "No...."
"I bet you don't need any information about Ad astra School if you have no interest in space issues."
"I.... I see... Nice talking to you."
Me: If you can retire early what do you want to do?
Friend : Well, I want to travel all over the world and read lots of books.
Me: Have you ever thought about specific plans of your life after early retirement? Not just travel or read, but extreamly specific way.
Me: Did you ever think about ideas for passive income? Do you really like writing?
