오늘의 문장 It’s pretty tall robot, and it’s for people who have strokes. 일기 (Diary) Today I visited a science expo downtown with my friend Jimin. There were so many interesting booths, but one really caught my eye. A company was showing off a rehabilitation robot. It’s a pretty tall robot, and it’s for people who have strokes. I had no idea technology like this existed already. It made me think about how science can genuinely change people’s lives for the better. ...
오늘의 문장 Just a little teeny 일기 (Diary) Today I tried to take a nap after lunch, just for a little while. I told myself, ‘Just a little teeny rest, then I’ll get back to work.’ Of course, I ended up sleeping for two hours. When I woke up, the sun was already setting. I felt a little guilty, but honestly, I needed it. Sometimes a little teeny break turns into exactly what your body needed all along. ...
오늘의 문장 that’s about it 일기 (Diary) Today was a pretty quiet day. I woke up late, made some coffee, and just worked from home. I finished a report around 3 p.m. and took a short walk in the evening. Nothing exciting happened — that’s about it. Sometimes a calm, uneventful day is exactly what you need. 오늘은 꽤 조용한 하루였다. 늦게 일어나서 커피를 만들고 집에서 일했다. 오후 3시쯤 보고서를 끝냈고 저녁에는 잠깐 산책을 했다. 특별한 일은 없었다 — 딱 그 정도다. 가끔은 평범하고 잔잔한 하루가 꼭 필요할 때가 있다. ...
오늘의 문장 can you make it 일기 (Diary) I texted my friend this morning to confirm our lunch plans. I asked, ‘Can you make it by noon?’ because the restaurant gets really crowded after that. She said she had a meeting but would try her best. I was a little worried she might be late. Luckily, she made it just in time and we had a great meal together. 오늘 아침 친구에게 문자를 보내 점심 약속을 확인했다. 식당이 그 이후로 많이 붐비기 때문에 ‘정오까지 올 수 있어?‘라고 물었다. 친구는 회의가 있지만 최선을 다해보겠다고 했다. 늦을까 봐 조금 걱정됐다. 다행히 친구는 딱 맞춰 도착했고, 우리는 함께 즐거운 식사를 했다. ...
오늘의 문장 I doubt it 일기 (Diary) My friend texted me today saying the café near our office would be empty after lunch. I doubt it — that place is always packed, no matter what time you go. Sure enough, we waited almost twenty minutes for a table. After we finally sat down, she said the coffee would arrive quickly. I doubted it again, and I was right. Still, the latte was worth the wait, and we ended up having a really good conversation. ...
오늘의 문장 go for it 일기 (Diary) I’ve been thinking about signing up for a public speaking class for weeks now. Every time I almost did it, I talked myself out of it. Today, my friend looked at me and said, ‘Just go for it — what’s the worst that could happen?’ Something about hearing it out loud made it click. I finally registered, and honestly, it feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I’m nervous, but I’m glad I stopped waiting. ...
오늘의 문장 We’re about to begin our descent. 일기 (Diary) I took a short flight back home today after visiting my cousin. About an hour into the flight, the pilot’s voice came over the intercom: ‘We’re about to begin our descent.’ I looked out the window and could already see the city lights below. There’s something about that moment that always makes me feel a mix of relief and a little sadness. The trip was short but really refreshing. I can’t wait to unpack and sleep in my own bed tonight. ...
오늘의 문장 I’m on the fence. 일기 (Diary) I’ve been thinking about buying new running shoes for weeks. The ones I have now are worn out, but I’m on the fence because the ones I like are pretty expensive. My friend says I should just go for it since I run almost every day. But I keep telling myself I should wait for a sale. I’ll probably make up my mind by the weekend. ...
오늘의 문장 We need to get our ducks in a row 일기 (Diary) The deadline for our team project is next Friday, and we still have so much left to do. During our meeting today, our manager said, ‘We need to get our ducks in a row before the client presentation.’ She was right — our tasks were all over the place. We spent the afternoon making a clear checklist and dividing the work. I feel a lot better now that everything is organized. Hopefully we can pull it off in time. ...
오늘의 문장 What are you getting at? 일기 (Diary) My friend kept hinting at something during lunch today, but I couldn’t figure out what she meant. I finally asked her, ‘What are you getting at?’ She laughed and said she wanted to plan a surprise trip together. I felt a little embarrassed for not catching on sooner. It turned out to be a really fun conversation after all. 오늘 점심에 친구가 계속 무언가를 암시하는 말을 했는데, 무슨 뜻인지 도통 모르겠었다. 결국 ‘도대체 하고 싶은 말이 뭐야?‘라고 물었더니 친구는 웃으며 함께 깜짝 여행을 계획하고 싶었다고 했다. 조금 늦게 눈치챈 게 살짝 민망했다. 결국엔 정말 즐거운 대화가 됐다. ...
