영어 노트/영어 첼린지

[영어 첼린지 05] 회의 때 나온 표현 정리 (2020 05 20)

학교에 부임하고 두번 Monthly faculty meeting에 참석하였습니다. 원어민은 아닌지라 안타깝지만 아직 회의에서 논의되는 내용들을 다 알아들을 수는 없었습니다. 그래서 회의 중간에 잘 모르거나 정확히 모르는 표현이 나오면 노트에 적어놓고 다시 들어다 보려고 합니다. 이게 첫번째 정리가 될 것입니다. 앞으로 영어 첼린지에 올리는 포스트들은 지극히 개인적인 영어 공부와 관련된 노트가 될 것 같습니다. 그래도 이런 노트들이 계속 쌓이면 언젠가는 저도 영어 회의가 익숙해지는 날이 오길 바랍니다.
