Alex : Hey, what do you think about starting a volleyball tournament for the college festival? 대학 축제 때 배구 토너먼트를 시작하는 거 어때?

Jamie : That sounds fun! We could have teams from different departments compete. 그거 재밌겠는데! 다른 과에서 팀을 만들어서 경쟁하게 할 수 있지.

Alex : Exactly, it could be a great way to bring everyone together. How could we organize it? 그렇지, 그렇게 하면 모두를 다 같이 참여시킬 수 있는 아주 좋은 방법이 될 수 있을 거야. 그런데 어떻게 짜지?

Jamie : We'll need to set up a schedule and get permission to use the volleyball court. Plus, find someone to referee the games.일단 일정을 짜서 배구 경기장 사용 허락을 받아야 해 그리고 경기 심판을 볼 사람도 구해야 하고. * referee (스포츠 경기의) 심판, 심판을 보다

5/20 입이 트이는 영어

Hallasan is the highest mountain in Korea. I wanted to hike to the summit with my children, so I mad e a reservation to enter the trail. It's important to keep tabs on the situation, as climbing to the top may not be possible depending on the weather conditions.

​

Everyone in our family is a newbie when it comes to hiking, so we started the climb first thing in the morning. Even at that early hour, there were lots of people. There were elderly people, young people climbing at a brisk pace, and visitors from abroad climbing in groups. Our youngest child was the youngest hiker there at just 7 years old, and received a lot of encouragement from passersby.

​

We climbed and climbed until we reached the summit, Baengnokdam. The crater lake was filled with water thanks to the rain a few days earlier, so we were able to take some great photos. On our way down the stone steps, I carried our youngest child who had become irratable from fatigue. When I asked the kids about their thoughts on the hike, they replied, "It was so hard that we'll never go hiking again."
