요약

- The writer believes that extracurricular activities - especially working experience - are essential for teenagers. She lists up waht she could learn from doing part time jobs as a student, and says working experiences would give students precious lessons, hence teenagers should get a job even if they don't need to work to support their families. A sense of independence, responsibility, and time management skills are things that collage students lack of, so after school jobs can be a good opportunity for that, the writer added.

새로 배운 단어

• extracurrirular : an extracurrirualr activity or subject is not part of the usual school or collage course.
• lament : to express sadness or feeling sorry about something. (The poem opens by lamenting the death of a young man)
• supposedly - 이 사실일 거라고 가정하지만 100% 신뢰하지 않는다는 것을 보여주기 위한 말 (지딴에는 -라더라 이렇게 말 할 때도 쓰인다고 함)

기억할 만한 문장

• Conditions couldn't be more optimal.
• ...older teenagers holding down a job of one kind or another.
• Consider that having an afternoon job cultivates skills like time management and instills a sense of independence and personal responsibility
• Being fired isn't the end of your career, and neither is quitting.
• You're being paid for your time.
• ...my arithmetic also got a regular workout.

• latitude (선택, 행동 방식의) 자유
• lackluster 재미없는, 활기없는, 광택의 결여
• as far as I'm concerned 내가 보기에는, 내 입장에서, 내 생각으로는
• allow for 고려하다
• take after 닮다

Andy took on a mini project as a freelancer for the first time. It requires great sense of responsibility but at the same time Andy felt he is given wide latitude to control every aspect of the project by himself. He was in his element, he could make better outcomes freelancing. Even the projects seem to be a lackluster, he took it on. But, he had to allow for his schedule. He got swamped and started to feel suffocated by too much work. Once he completely missed the due day and a strange client blamed him for taking after his lazy brother. 

latitude 란 단어는 자유, 자율성이란 뜻으로 선택을 할 수 있는 범위를 묘사할 때 자주 쓰인다. wide latitude, great deal of latitude, afford latitide 등 자주 연결되어서 쓰이는 단어들을 같이 알아두면 좋다. 

allow for 이라는 단어는 그냥 allow 와 다르다. allow for 은 take into consideration 와 비슷한 의미를 가진다.  
make allowance for 의 형태로 사용할 수도 있다. 

as far as I'm concerned 은 내 의견을 이야기 하기에 앞서 붙이기 좋은 표현인데, 도저히 영작에는 활용할 수 없어서 사용하지 못했다! ㅠ

• spoiled food 상한 음식
• break a sweat : to begin to sweat; 물리적으로도 쓰고 무엇이 전혀 힘들지 않았다고 강조할때도 didn't break a sweat으로 쓰임
• delusional 망상의
• outwardly 외적으로, 외견으로
• substantial 많은, 단단한, 실질의

It was her driving test day. Coaches said she's talented and she did so well during practices without even breaking a sweat. Everyone thought she was going to pass the test, there was no reservations. Everything looked fine, outwardly. She felt something went wrong as she sped up on the highway. Probably it was spoiled food! She started to feel very anxious. The speed was very high, her head turned delusional. If she crashes, there's gonna be substantial amount of cost she has to cover. She tried to ignore the pain in order to drive safely.

오늘도 억지 이야기를 지어봤으나 이렇게 하는 것이 확실히 장기기억에 도움이 되는 것 같다. 지난시간에 배운 표현들이나 따로 외우기 힘들었던 표현들도 우겨넣어 써봤다. reservations 예약이 아니라 의심, 의구심이라는 뜻이다. 보통 복수로 쓰인다고 한다. in order to 도 평소에는 그냥 to 만 썼었는데 이번 기회에 사용해보았다.

consist 라는 동사는 전치사들과 같이 쓰인다. 근데 of 와도 결합하고 in 이랑도 결합하고 with 이랑도 결합하는데... 그 차이를 잘 모르는 나같은 사람들을 위해 한 페이지에 싹 정리를 해보려고 한다!

1. consist of

to be made of or formed from something -으로 만들어진
아래 예문을 살펴보면 be 동사를 사용하지 않는 것을 알 수 있다. 단어 자체에 수동이 포함되어있다. 

ex) The team consists of four Europeans and two Americans.
ex) It's simple dish to prepare, consisting mainly of rice and vegetables.
ex) Many jazz trios consist of a piano, guitar and double bass.
ex)America consists of many states.

A consist in B 하면, A 는 B에 존재한다는 뜻이다.

ex) The beauty of air travel consists in its speed and ease.
ex) Happiness consists in contentment.
ex) Money consists in good quality of life.

3. consist with

ex) It consists with the fact.
ex) The information consists with his account.
ex) What he has done consists with what he said.

opt 가 사용되는 표현...

• opt out
• opt for
• opt in
• ...

어원

opt 는 다양한 전치사와 결합해서 변화한다. 기본적으로 opt 는 선택하다라는 의미를 내포하고 있는데, 우리가 매우 쉽게 쓰는 단어인 option 도 이opt에서 파생한 명사이다. 여기서 adopt, adapt.. 등의 접두어로도 뻗어나가는데 기본적으로 opt 가 선택한다는 어원에서 기원한다는 것을 배경지식으로 알고 있으면 어느 정도 이해하면서 습득 가능하다. 

1. opt for something, opt to do something

to choose some option in preference to others.
opt 는 목적어가 필요하지만 사이에 전치사가 필요하다. 기본적으로 opt for 을 사용하여 선택한다는 의미를 준다. 동시에 choose 랑 비교하면 비슷하지만 opt 가 좀 더 방향성을 가지고 있다. 뒤에 명사가 온다면 for, 동사가 온다면 to 부정사 형태로 만들어진다.

ex) I always opt for first class when I fly overseas.
ex) Personally, I'd opt for light breakfast. 
ex) He would opt to take a taxi. 
ex) We’re on a tight budget, we’ll probably opt for the one that costs the least.

2. opt out

to choose not to be part in an activity or stop being involved in it.
선택하지 않는다를 부정어 없이 표현할 수 있는 단어이다. stop taking part in it 의 표현도 중요하니 같이 알고 있어야한다. opt out of ~ 의 형태로도 자주 쓰임. 

ex) Within any society, there will usually be people who decided to opt out. (=choose not to live the way most people do)
ex) If you opt out before December 1st, your deposit will be refunded.
ex) She has the right to opt out.

3. opt in

opt out 의 반대되는 뜻이다. to choose to do, be involved in something. 상황에 따라서 into 를 써줘도 된다. 

ex) He didn't exactly opt out because he never opted in.
ex) The British government was reluctant to opt into such a system.

Hardly

hardly 는 거의 없는, 거의 아닌... 이라는 뜻이다.
hardly 의 짝꿍단어가 몇 있는데 hardly ever, hardly any, hardly anyone 이다. 
어려운, 힘든 이라고 흔히 알고있는 뜻에서 파생했기에 부정의 의미를 가지고 있는 것이 놀랍지 않다. 

(예문)
- There's hardly any savings left. 
- We hardly ever talk to each other.
- I hardly speak Spanish.
- I could hardly believe what he said.
- You hardly know me.
- There was hardly anyone in the room. 

Barely

barely 는 bare 에서 파생한 부사다. bare 가 알몸의 맨 것의 이라는 의미를 가졌고,  barely 는 최소한의 이라는 의미를 이어가고있다. 사전에는 by the smallest amount 라고 정의한다. 겨우, 간신히, 최소한만 충족하는, 겨우 최소한 같은 뉘앙스를 강하게 풍긴다. barely manage to 하면 간신히 -하다 하는 뜻이 된다. 겨우-였다. 할 때도 barely 를 사용한다. 

(예문)
- We barely know each other.
- It was barely audible.
- I could barely eat.
- When that accident occured, she was barely 5.
- I barely noticed what was happening.

Merely

mere가 단지 라는 뜻을 가졌기 때문에, merely 는 단지 - 이다. 라는 표현을 위한 부사이다. only 와 비슷한 거 같기도 하다. 

(예문)
- I wasn't complaining. I merely said that I was tired. 
- It's merely matter of time.
- I didn't say you have to go. I merely suggested that you might want to go.
- He is now merely a good friend.
