영어완전정복, 엔구전화영어로 영자신문 공부하기_3월 21일



오늘도 Teacher Jhe 쌤과 함께 엔구전화영어로 영자신문 공부하기를 하였습니다.

매일매일 영어공부를 하는 습관을 기를 수 있는 좋은 방법 중 하나, 매일 전화영어하기.


저는 스카이프 화상통화를 통해서 매일 25분동안 필리핀 선생님하고 영어공부를 합니다.

(광고아니에요. 제 돈주고 공부하는 사이트인데 상세한 후기와 공부의 흔적을 남기기 위한 자기계발 포스트입니다^^)


오늘도 역시 영자신문으로 함께 공부한 날!

A single person living alone in their apartment may come home after a tough day at work and sigh, “Ah, home sweet home!” If they love their apartment they might also say: “There’s no place like home.”


There’s no place like home is a famous line repeated over and over by the character of Dorothy in the classic American movie “The Wizard of Oz.”


She learns that she did not need to leave her home in order to find what she was seeking. Dorothy’s adventures ended right back in Kansas, where she was from.


But what about those people who must stay away from their homes for a long time? They still want to feel connected to a place they can depend on.


Hotels know this about travelers. Many advertise that they will be a home away from home. This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.


Friends can also give you a home away from home. When you visit them, they may say to you: “Make yourself at home!”


This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.

3. Do hotels feel like a "home away from home" to you?

 Because I used to be not comfortable while I was staying at Hotel.


-Summary-

People who are living alone in an apartment desire to feel comfort like “Sweet home” and “There is no place like home.” 

Even if a single person come back home when they are tough at work and sigh, they depend on their own house. 

In the other case, hotels advertise for travelers that the place is very familiar and comfortable.

This common expression means that people want to feel relaxed like home.
