21강 1 Some city planning experts called for legislation against texting while walking that would be followed by a deep change of norms. This recommendation is based on the assumption that this change is welcomed, but laws banning texting while walking failed in Toronto, Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey and New York. Meanwhile, high-tech firms are developing technological solutions to the p..

20강 1 In one experiment, children were told they could have one marshmallow treat if they chose to eat it immediately, but two treats if they waited. Most of the children, who ranged in age from 4 to 8, chose to wait, but the strategies they used differed significantly. The 4-year-olds often chose to look at the marshmallows while waiting, a strategy that was not terribly effective. In contrast,..

(5.21 시행) 2020 고3 4월 모의고사 18 To Whom It May Concern: I recently purchased a home and moved into the Belrose neighborhood. I see neighborhood children, elderly neighbors in wheelchairs, and residents in general being forced to walk in the middle of the street due to the lack of sidewalks. This causes a very clear safety hazard. There is a large population of children in this neighborhood and this..

노동요 플레이리스트에서 가끔 들었던 곡인데 추천받아서 아래 영상으로 가사도 보게 되었다. 그리고 댓글에 표현 정리도 해주셨는데 진짜 처음보는 의미가 많았다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 0:00 Juice - 에너지, 힘, 활력, 영향력.

에러를 털다가 여기에서 이런 표현을 봤다. The exception message was a red herring! Red herring? 직역하면 훈제 청어 인데 두번째 뜻으로는 주의를 다른데로 돌리게 하는 것이다. 이쯤되니 어원이 궁금했다. 훈제 청어의 향이 엄청 강해서, 사냥개를 훈련시킬 때 중간에 훈제 청어의 향으로 쫓던 사냥감을 제대로 쫓아갈 수 있도록 교란시키는 용도였다고 한다. 반대로 속임수의 효과도 있었다. 범인이 사냥개로부터의 추적을 피하기 위해 훈제청어를 뿌리고 가면 이에 단련되지 못한 사냥개들은 범인을 놓쳐버렸다고. 출처: https://bable.tistory.com/127

3강 1 Human beings are driven by a natural desire to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. From this perspective, people seek relationships with others to fill a fundamental need, and this need underlies many emotions, actions, and decisions throughout life. Probably, the need to belong is a product of human beings’ evolutionary history as a social species. Human beings have long depende..

2강 1 Many people think of what might happen in the future based on past failures and get trapped by them. For example, if you have failed in a certain area before, when faced with the same situation, you anticipate what might happen in the future, and thus fear traps you in yesterday. Do not base your decision on what yesterday was. Your future is not your past and you have a better future. You ..

1강 1 Dear Ms. Diane Edwards, I am a teacher working at East End High School. I have read from your notice that the East End Seaport Museum is now offering a special program, the 2017 Bug Lighthouse Experience. The program would be a great opportunity for our students to have fun and experience something new. I estimate that 50 students and teachers from our school would like to participate in it..

가능하다면.. 영어 스터디를 운영하고 싶다. 모집중인 것을 몇가지 찾아봤는데 사실 어디에서 찾아봐야 할지도 잘 모르겠고.. (해커*랑 네2버 카페 몇개 봄) 한편으로는 스터디 내용을 보면 내가 보기싫은 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 별로 안좋아하는 드라마를 컨텐츠로 사용해서 덜 즐거울 것 같았다. 그리고 좀 더 커리어에 직접적인 도움이 될 수 있으면 좋겠다는 생각이 들었다. 그래서 만들어야겠다! 생각 중이다. 코로나 마무리되고, 여전히 내가 원하는 스타일의 스터디가 없다면 쉽게 실천할 수 있도록 계획 짜는중.. 기획 1단계!!! 🔶 규칙 한두달 단위로 먼가 프로그램 패키지처럼 구성되면 좋겠다. 그리고 한 개의 패키지에 대해 참여도가 90% 이하이면 더이상의 참여는 불가능!! 자유로운 것도 좋지만 테마가 있는 알찬 구성이 되면..

22강 1 The people who came before you invented science because your natural way of understanding and explaining what you experience is terrible. When you have zero evidence, every assumption is basically equal. You prefer to see causes rather than effects, signals in the noise, patterns in the randomness. You prefer easy‑to‑understand stories, and thus turn everything in life into a narrative so ..

12강 1 Clutter beats us up psychologically and physically. It clouds our minds, making it difficult to access what truly matters in our lives. According to Ab Jackson, a fellow organizer, “Are you a person that buys things that you don’t need, with money that you don’t have, to impress people that you don’t even like?” Sound familiar? How reassuring would it be to get organized in a way that not ..

11강 1 To many people, having a goal is synonymous with commitment, and commitment to a goal—in turn—is nearly synonymous with success. Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali once remarked, “I hated every minute of training but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’” And there you have it—the clear sentiment that doubling down on goals is more likely to lead to succe..

10강 1 One of the great risks of writing is that even the simplest of choices regarding wording or punctuation can sometimes prejudice your audience against you in ways that may seem unfair. For example, look again at the old grammar rule forbidding the splitting of infinitives. After decades of telling students to never split an infinitive (something just done in this sentence), most composition..
