[Writing] How to learn English in a new way (0118)

[The source of this article  : www.myenglishteacher.eu]

** I want to improve my English these days but I couldn't use it for so long time.
I feel like it's  stagnant period. So I decided to write some article or information in English every day. This is my second day.
Today's topic is how to learn English in a new way.
This article is from a website (myenglishteacher.eu), it's quite useful and interesting.


<How to learn English in a new way>

Do you need to improve your English quickly? Are ou looking for new ways to help you become fluent? Here are some tips on how to learn English, which you probably hadn't thought about before! Put these into practice right away!


1. Switch your search engine to English and type something that you're interested in.

This could be anything from healthy food recipes, learning English, or holidays, to fashion, animals, or cars
You'll find many websites with information that interests you, and articles to read in English on subjects that matter to you. Read them and you will automatically build your vocabulary! Don't worry if you don't understand everything you read immediately, you will probably need to check some words in a dictionary from time to time, but that's how you learn!


2. Read a book in English.

Go to your local bookstore or library, and find a book that's written in English. You could even buy one online and have it delivered to you. E-books are also quite popular nowadays! Once you have our e-reader, you can simply buy an e-book inline and it registers onto your e-reader instantly. There are also thousands of free e-books on offer on various websites!

It doesn't have to be anything complicated or difficult to read, just something simple that you can enjoy and learn a few new words at the same time. Try to find a book that is the right level for you. You only want to learn a few new English words on each page at a time. If there are a lot of new English words on every page, then you need to find something a little easier. Even if you start with a children's book, it doesn't matter! Don't make it any harder for yourself, than it already is.

This will help you to learn some new English words, and train your brain to think in English! This is an active learning process, and is very important if you want to become fluent. You have to be able to not just speak in English, but also think in English.

When you are reading, you imagine the scene in your head and try to understand what the writer is saying. This can sometimes be quite difficult, but it offers many advantages to English learners:

- You can learn new vocabulary, not just words alone, but also how they would be used in sentences.
- Learn at your own pace. You could finish a book in one week, or study each page carefully and read it over a few months or longer - it's up to you!
- You can pace something that interests you personally.
- If you pick the right book, you'll also see how the grammar is structured. This will help to prepare you for writing in English!


3. Listen to Podcasts. 

This is a brilliant way of learning English on the move. If you're going for a walk, plug your headphones in and listen to something in English.
You can download podcasts about almost any topic you like! Another great thing about listening to podcasts, is that you'll hear native speakers using colloquialisms, slang, and idioms that are used in everyday English, and this will help you to understand them in context.


4. Change your language settings on your computer to English!

I would only recommend you do this if your English is at pre-intermediate level or higher. This is a fabulous way to learn English without even realizing it! At first, you night struggle with seeing messages or commands popping up in English, but after a while it will seem quite natural.
Start off by changing your MS Word or MS Excel settings, and see how you cope with that. After a while, if you're feeling brave enough, you could switch your whole computer to English!
 `


5. Follow companies and people on Twitter who tweet in English, and the same on Facebook, Goolge+ or Linkedin.

Only go for the ones that genuinely interest you, otherwise you probably won't be bothered about reading what they have to say. Just type in a twitter search such as #travel or #business, then, tweet and communicate with people about your chosen topic.

Just 'Like' or subscribe to brand pages or people whom you're interested in. Then read their news or articles and comment on what they share. It is definitely much easier to learn when the subject matters to you.

Would you like to start right now? Follow MyEnglishTeacher on Twitter.


6. Use Google News or Newswhip.com.

You can find some amazing articles to read on these sites. They cover topics in Sports, Science, Health, Entertainment, Technology, as well as others!

Just scroll through the lists until you find something that you're interested in, and would like to read.


7. Sign up to a magazine subscription.

 If you live in an area that is quite remote, or maybe you don't have access to a library or a bookstore that sells books in Enligsh. Go online, and subscribe to a magazine that is based on a topic that interests you. This could be anything from animals, sports, health, the planet, or even something you're studying!

If you don't want to commit to paying for a monthly subscription, then alternatively you could go to a store that sells magazines and buy one when you want to. Just like reading a book, you will come across new vocabulary all the time, which you can check in your dictionary, and try to understand its usage in context while you are reading.


8. Start your own blog in English.

This blog could be about anything you like. It would probably be easier to focus on a topic that you are familiar with, or something that you would like to get feedback on from your  readers. As an example, you could write about learning English. You could talk about how you study, what you main problems with the language are, and maybe encourage other English learners to share their views with you! This could also be a good opportunity to communicate with native English speakers around the world about what you've learned, what ou know, and what you're trying to improve.

People will be able to give you advice on how to improve your English. This way, native speakers could comment on your blogs and offer tips and other English learners could join you in becoming fluent together!

That's just one idea though, ou could write about anything you want.
Share your knowledge and experiences with others; ask questions, and get answers.
Take me as an example, I'm an English language learner and this is my blog. My English has improved a lot, since I started blogging!


9. Read other people's blogs and forums.

10. Do all the things you usually do, but in English.

11. Practice with your own native, private English teacher.

12. Use all the free resources ou can get your hands on!

[Writing] How improve English by writing ( 0117 )

<Today's Topic : How improve English by writing>

There's saying ; "Writing is one of the most effective ways to improve English."
So I made up my mind to write one article in English everyday!
It started just now. :)

I googled that how to improve English quickly, and I found this one.
It's quite good, so want to share here.

I quoted the following article from the website; www.myenglishteacher.eu.

The more you write and read English correspondence, the easier you will find recognizing the language. Not to mention the fact that written English is one of the main tools of workplace communication (emails or text chats), sometimes even if you're sitting next to the person you want to communicate with (generally so there is written confirmation of the discussion). If you are looking for formal and informal email phrases you can start using right away, you should definitely check this out.

So, what you can do to improve your English writing skills?

1. It may be obvious, but don't forget to take notes during classes and do all your homework! Some people may not find it necessary to write down what their teacher says, but a lack of attention can result in lack of improvement. It can be quite demanding to study a new language whilst juggling all other day-to-day activities in life, and as such requires a lot of effort. So, to make it easier on yourself, be organised with your learning. Take notes to help you remember things after a busy day, do your homework and get closer to your English fluency goal.

2. Write in your own words! Read something that interests you (about a topic that you are already familiar with) and try to write it again in your own words. This is also known as 'paraphrasing' and can help you to solidify your understanding of what you read, by expressing it in your own way. You will  undoubtedly use synonyms, so it may be worth investing in a thesaurus!

3. Exchange correspondence with your friends in English. Reading and writing in English has and always will be an effective way of improving these skills. The more you don, the more you learn, and therefore, the better you get!

4. Search interactive websites that provide online practice and correction! Here anre some examples to get you started.: Quizlet, UsingEnglish, CardKiwi or Grammar Check.


5. Utilize social media! There are a great number of online platforms where you can share, chat and comment- all in Elngish!


6. Improve your English writing skills by blogging.
Share your learning experiences with others and tell people how you're improving and what you're doing to get there. Don't see this as boasting; it should be used purely to record your progress, give tips that wored well foryou to other learners and most of all, practise your writing skills!

[입트영] 11월 마지막 주

11. 24  Talk about a time when you got caught in the rain
비 맞은 때를 이야기해봅시다.

On most days I check the weather forecast.
대개 일기예보를 확인합니다.

However onetime the forecast betrayed me.
그런데 한번은 예보가 배신했다.

It said that It would be no rain.
비가 오지 않는다고 했다.

As a result, I didn't have an umbrella on me.
그래서 우산을 가지고 나가지 않았다.
 ex: I don't have any cash on me. 현금이 하나도 없다.

As I was walking out of the subway station, began to drizzle.  
지하철을 나왔을 때 비가 살짝 내리기 시작했다.

Soon it was pouring.
곧 퍼붓기 시작했다.

I had to run home at top speed.
최대한 빨리 집으로 뛰어갔다.

When I got home, I was soaking wet.
집에 도착했을 때 홀딱 젖었다.

My shoes were ruined.
신발이 다 젖어버렸다.

Right away I took a hot shower.
바로 뜨거운 물로 샤워를 했다.

However I still came down with a cold because I got caught in the rain like that.
하지만 비를 그렇게 맞아서 감기에 걸렸다.

I had a sore throat, I was aching all over.
목이 아팠고 몸살이 났다.

Since then I always keep a small umbrella in my bag.
그 뒤로 늘 우산을 가지고 다닌다.

허리케인 매튜 : 플로리다 주지사 왈, "이번 폭풍이 사람들을 죽일 겁니다."  

2016-10-06

허리케인 매튜가 플로리다에 상륙하고 있다. 토네이도와 사나운 바람 폭우를 동반해 반도 동해안을 위협하고 있다. 

폭풍자체로 끝나지 않고, 수 피트에 달하는 폭풍해일이 수천 가구를 덮치고 전력을 끊어버릴 가능성이 있다. 

마이애미에서 노스 캐롤라이나의 공무원들은 주민들의 안전에 위험을 가하지 않으려고 한다. 강제대피명령을 받지 않은 주민들은 태풍 이동경로에 따라, 경계를 게을리하지 말고 폭풍에 철처히 대비할 것을 경고받았다. 

아래는 당신이 알아야 할 사항들이다. 

- 캐러비안 인근의 3개 국가에서 최소 113명의 사람이 폭풍으로 죽었다. 가장 큰 피해를 입은 아이티는 108명이 죽었다고, 시민 방어 서비스 대변인인 조세프 에드가드 셀레스틴이 밝혔다. 

- 국가 허리케인 센터 최신 자문에 따르면, 허리케인 매튜는 시속 140마일의 강풍을 동반한 '카테고리 4'의 폭풍이다. 동부시간으로 오후 5시 현재, 매튜는 플로리다 서쪽의 팜비치에서 동-남동으로 100마일에 있다. 목요일 밤이나 금요일 새벽 한때, 폭풍은 반도를 향해 북서쪽으로 방향을 바꿀거라고 예측된다.

-관계자는 태풍이 가까워지면서 플로리다해변과 조지아, 사우스 캐롤리나에서 2백만명이상이 집을 떠났다고 주장했다.  2012년 동해안을 강타했던 허리케인 샌디 이후로 미국에서 가장 큰 강제 대피이다.

[번역] 16. 10. 4일자 The guardian 기사, "의학 노벨 수상자에 일본인 뽑혀"

Yoshinori Ohsumi wins Nobel prize in medicine for work on autophagy 요시노리 오스미, '오토파지(자가포식)' 연구 성과로 노벨상 의학부문 수상자 되다

Japanese cell biologist is named 2016 laureate for his discoveries on how the body’s cells break down and recycle their own components.

일본 세포 생물학자가 어떻게 몸의 세포가 파괴되고 구성요소로 재활용되는지 

를 밝혀낸 성과로 2016년 노벨 수상자가 되었다. 

The Nobel prize in medicine has been awarded to a Japanese cell biologist for discoveries on how cells break down and recycle their own components.

노벨 의학 수상자에 세포가 어떻게 파괴되고 재활용되는지를 밝혀낸 일본 세포 생물학자가 선정되었다. 

Yoshinori Ohsumi, 71, will receive the prestigious 8m Swedish krona (£718,000) award for uncovering “mechanisms for autophagy”, a fundamental process in cells that scientists believe can be harnessed to fight cancer and dementia.

71세의 요시노리 오주미는 "자가포식작의 기제"를 밝혀낸 데 대한 상으로 71만8천 파운드에 해당하는 권위있는 상을 받게 되었다. 과학자들이 믿은 세포의 기초적인 과정은 암과 치매와 싸우기 위한 안전장치로 작용할 수 있다. 

Autophagy is the body’s internal recycling programme - scrap cell components are captured and the useful parts are stripped out to generate energy or build new cells. The process is crucial for preventing cancerous growths, warding off infection and, by maintaining a healthy metabolism, it helps protect against conditions like diabetes.

자가포식은 몸안에서 일어나는 재활용 프로그램이다. 세포에서 폐기할 부분을 억류하고, 유용한 부분은 에너지를 만들거나 새로운 세포를 만들기 위해 제거하는 과정이다.   이 과정은 악성종양을 막고 감염을 막고 건강한 대사과정을 유지하는데 중요하다. 당뇨병과 같은 상태에 대항하는 것을 돕는다. 

Dysfunctional autophagy has been linked to Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and a host of age-related disorders. Intense research is underway to develop drugs that can target autophagy to treat various diseases.

자가포식 장애는 파킨슨 병과 2형 당뇨병, 암, 노화와 관련된 질병과 관련돼 있다. 다양한 질병을 치료할 목적으로 자식작용을 목적으로 한 약 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 

Speaking to reporters in Tokyo on Monday, Ohsumi said: “As a boy, the Nobel Prize was a dream, but after starting my research, it was out of my picture.”

월요일 도쿄에서 기자들은 오스미 교수는 "어릴 때부터 노벨상 수상은 꿈이었지만, 연구를 시작하면서부터는  신경쓰지 않았다"고 말했다고 전했다. 

He said he chose to focus on the cell’s waste disposal system, an unfashionable subject at the time, because he wanted to work on something different.

오스미 교수는 좀 다르게 일하길 원했기 때문에 당시에는 전혀 화제가 되지 않았던 세포의 폐기물 처리 시스템에 초점을 맞추기로 선택했다고 한다. 

“I don’t feel comfortable competing with many people, and instead I find it more enjoyable doing something nobody else is doing,” he added. “In a way, that’s what science is all about, and the joy of finding something inspires me.”

"수많은 사람들과 경쟁하는게 편하지 않았습니다. 대신 아무도 하지 않는 걸 하면서 좀더 즐기려고 했죠." 덧붙여서 말했다. "어떤 점에서는 그게 바로 과학의 전부라고 할 수 있어요. 나를 자극하는 무언가를 찾는 즐거움이요."

Ohsumi, who was in his lab when he received the phone call from Thomas Perlmann, secretary of the Nobel Committee, admitted to being in a “slight state of shock” about the news.

오스미 교수는 노벨상 위원회의 담당비서인 토마스 펄만에게 전화를 받았을 때 실험실에 있었다. 그 뉴스에 "살짝 충격을 받았다"고 인정했다.
