9. 19 Talk about Math skill.

I wasn't that good at Math when I was in school.
   <-> pretty good at            학창시절

Math was not definitely my favorite subject.

However when it comes to doing the Math in daily life, I'm not that bad.
(do the math : 1. 계산하다 , 2. 상황을 계산하다/따져보다/생각해보다, 뭔가 여러가지를 비교하고 따져보다는 의미도 있음. )
 (It's not that difficult to do the math. : 뭘 그렇게 따져. 어려운게 아닌데)

People around me often tell me I'm pretty good with numbers.
내 주변 사람들

I can add up or multiply things pretty easily.
         더하고    곱하기

I have a calculator on my phone, I'm used to doing the Math in my head.
                                                                    암산하다

I like to do the math in my head. 암산하는 걸 좋아하다

I think many Koreans like this, because we are trained to do basic Math in our heads as children.                                                                기본적인 계산

I think it's quite a useful skill.

*Let's do the math. : 계산해보자. 따져보자.


9.17 Talk about how good your memory is

I think I have fairy good memory.
                제법, 꽤
I remember things that happened in the past quite well.

I'm pretty good at remembering numbers as well.
              ~에 능하다, 잘하다
I remember phone number or numbers on addresses quite well.

I'm not that good with names though.
 (I'm not that good with children. : 난 아이들을 잘 다루지 못해)

I forget people's names quite easily.

Plus I tend to forget where I put my things quite often.

I leave behind my keys or cell phone off and on.
  남겨두다                                     종종, 가끔
That's why I always try to pay more attention.

Next I always try to write down things that what I have to do on my scheduler.
                             적어두다                                               =planner (단, 'diary'는 수첩이 아니라 일기임)
By making to-do list like this, I can become less forgetful
                해야할 목록
*It totally slipped my mind. 완전히 깜빡했네!!!


9.16 Talk about the lightly heard of a water shortage

It Seems like we have enough water around us.

But there is high possibility that we made face a water shortage in the near future.                                                     직면하다                                 가까운 장래에

People think that the earth has endless amount of water, but that's not true
                                    무한한 양
(the list is endless 목록이 끝이 없네
he seems to have endless amount of energy. 그는 에너지가 무한한 거 같아)

70% of the earth is water, but 97% of that is sea water.
                                                            해수
Less than 3% is fresh water we can use.
                           담수
Some countries are already running out of fresh water supplies. 
                                 점점 없어지고 있다    담수공급량
(We are running out of option; 선택권이 점점 없어지고 있다)

Rivers and lakes are drying up.
                          (바싹) 말라가고 있다
Plus We see severe droughts more often.
                                      가뭄
We need to conserve water as much as we can.
             절약하다 (conserve water and electricity; 주로 물과 에너지 절약할때 이 동사 씀)

Also We need to come up with ways to recycle the water that we use.
                   (방법을) 마련하다, 생각해내다= bring up, think of

*Don't keep the water running : 물 틀어놓지 마라.
 (=don't let the water running)
Hey the water is running : 이봐, 물이 흐르고 있잖아. (안 잠그고 뭐하는거야?)
We do have to conserve water.



9. 15 Talk about Baby Products

Babies need a lot of things.

They need diapers first of all.

It takes them sometimes to get potty trained.
                                  (파리) 배변훈련
You also need crib for the baby to sleep in.
                  (크립) 유아용침대
Plus you need stroller as well.
                    유모차 (=baby carriage, 구식표현)
The price of stroller's vary based on brand.

Next you also need milk bottles and pacifiers.
                                            (패서파이어) 고무젖꼭지
Plus you need baby clothes.

You need clothes for baby to wear indoors and outdoors.
                                                    실내, 실외
(I stayed indoor all days long, because I wasn't feel well.)

And then you need to buy toys for baby.

Toys are very important because they help the baby think.

Raising baby can be a financial burden.

That's why friends and family members help out by buying gifts for the baby.

*Baby shower: 임신한 것을 축하하기 위해 친구들이 아기 용품을 선물하는 축하 파티
*He said his first word yesterday. : 애기가 어제 처음으로 말했어.


9. 14 Talk about a time when you got Car sick

I used to get car sick very easily when I was kid.
(sea sick: 배멀미 , air sick:비행기 멀미)

My mom used to put behind the ear patches on me when we went on the car trip.

As I grown up, I don't get carsick that easily.

However I remember it time I got carsick when I was going on a trip few years ago.

We were stuck in some traffic.
    can not move, 막혀있다. 움직일 수 없다 (어쩔수 없는 상황)

My friend and I were messaging each other back and forth on our cellphones.
문자보내다: 예전엔 text라고 썼는데 요즘엔 message라는 동사를 더 많이 씀
back and forth: 왔다갔다가 주고받다

After a while I started to felt a bit dizzy and my stomach felt uneasy
                                            (=my stomach is upset 속이 불편하다)
(I feel queasy : 속이 울렁거리고 불편하다. 이거 하나만 써도됨.)

I felt like throwing up.
토할것 같았다.

It was quite unpleasant feeling.

I felt a bit better after I roll down the windows and got some fresh air.
                                창문을 열다/내리다 <->roll up

*My dog throw up in the car. 개가 차에서 토했어.
How it that happened? 어떻게 그런 일이 일어났지?
He is still a puppy.: 아직 아기잖아. 어리잖아.
