LSLC 필리핀 어학연수 영어 일기 (8일차)

부족한 영어 실력을 키우고자 학교에서 지원하는 어학연수를 듣고 있습니다. 

문법이 틀리고 어순이 이상할 수 있지만 너그럽게 봐주시면 감사드리겠습니다.

볼드체는 GPT의 힘을 빌린 표현입니다..ㅎㅎ

I decided to register in a speech contest. 

I wasn't supposed to take part in contest. But, I think this is the last chance to do presentation in front of audience. 

So, after a lot of thought, I decided to do it.

 

But, when I heard about the prize. I was little bit regretful because the prize is Khan's spa which I visited yesterday. 

Wow.... I can get three Khan's spa coupon if I win the contest. 

Actually, I am not pressured. But, My teacher Joyce said "you can do it. Don't feel pressured about getting the prize. It is a chance to improve your English communication."

 

I'm really grateful because my teacher always encourages me.

 

Then, Anyway, I want to talk about what I learned today.

There are many expressions and vocabulary.

 

balance: staying equal

athletic: being good at sports

pierced: small horn on the skin

muscular: having big and strong muscles.

cosmetics: make up

beard: under the lips.

irrestible: hard to say "no"

trim: cut a little

plastic surgery: medical surgery to change or improve how someone looks

mustache: upper the lips.

 

dress up

> The restaurant is pretty fancy, so you'll need to dress up.

 

drop by

> Why don't you drop by some time this weekend so you can see my new kitten?

 

fall through

> Anne was devastated when her wedding plans to Richard fell through, but two years later she married someone much better suited to her. 

 

get along 

> Monica and Walid don't get along at all. I can't invited them both to my dinner party, or there will be dramal.

 

get by

> New York is expensive, so it's hard to get by there with a low-paying job.

 

That's all I learned today.

I felt stuck. Because there are many words that I don't know yet. 

You know, I like to figure things out as I go.

So, there are many things that I have to do. Like preparing for contest, doing homework, studying English by using GPT or DuoLingo. 

 

I got some feeling that "Am I good, now?" during studying English recently.

I can't feel that I develope my English skills. 

Sometimes I understand English less than I did on the first day.

 

But as always, I believe that change is happening little by little within me.  

So, I am gonna trust myself. 

 

Thank you for reading!
