체어맨 차검 09시 팔복동 쌍용공업사에서 체어맨 정기검사를 마친다. 27년 된 고령차지만 워낙 마일리지가 적고 만듦새가 튼튼한지라 모든항목 양호로 합격이다.
my parents My father was born in 1938*, and my mother in 1946. When they were young, the world was in chaos—right after Korea’s liberation or during the Korean War. Neither of them had the chance to go to school. In fact, they’re functionally illiterate.My father can read just enough to recognize family members’ names, bus destinations, and numbers. My mother learned basic Korean through dementia-preventio..
turning point in my life Today, I’d like to talk about a turning point in my life.Back then, I didn’t realize it, but compared to now, the 1990s were a golden age for job seekers. As long as I passed the written test, I could get a drcent job almost anywhere. It was a truly fair time. I myself got into a major company just by passing that one test. I adapted well to the organization, was kind to customers, and got along..
things that matter These days, thanks to my phone English lessons, I’ve been organizing what to talk about by topic. Just like Haruki Murakami said, the more I write things down, the more I feel like my life is expanding. And you know that saying, “When you learn about your neighboring country, you understand your own country better”? Talking about my life in English somehow makes my life feel clearer, like my dir..
효성스즈끼 GSX250E 간만에 깜냥 장거리, 고창군 해리면 잠금장치가 가출했기 덜렁덜렁했던 둘 반에 밥통도 짱짱하게 고쳤겠다, 오늘의 출행은 그간 아껴뒀던 고창 해리면이다. 먼저 09시 팔복동 쌍용공업사에서 체어맨 정기검사를 마친다. 27년 된 고령차지만 워낙 마일리지가 적고 만듦새가 튼튼한지라 모든항목 양호로 합격이다. 이어 후딱 환복하고 10시 반 APT를 나선다. 덥지도 춥지도 않다. 그야말로 상쾌허다. 쓰로빨도 훌륭허다. 30여 분 후 백산 시골집. 어머니 표현대로 없는 건건이에 한끄니, 그리고 백짓장으로 오려 만든 부피감 없는 어머니의 어깨를 주물러 드린다. 최근 1~2년새 아버지의 식사량은 절반으로 줄었다. 그래도 천천히 잘 드시는 축이다. 담배까지 한 대 태우신다. 도중, 아버지 전동차에 밧떼리교체차 백룡오도바이에 들른다. 건 2~3년 만이다. 매..

my body The topic of today’s phone English session with Nalee is "Body and Health." I’ll write down some scattered thoughts about my body and health.I am healthy. Exceptionally healthy, in fact—I’ve never been hospitalized for any internal medical condition. I’m newly grateful to my parents for giving me such a sound body. But when I was young, I didn’t realize I was healthy. I was extremely underweight..
life now and the past Today’s phone English topic with Nalee Douanvilay is “Life now and in the past.” What should I talk about? First, I’ll organize my thoughts in Korean, translate them with ChatGPT, and then tweak them to my liking. What an amazing world we live in. I'll talk about life now and in the past, and about who I am today and who I was back then. There’s a famous phrase that often comes to mind when we t..
