나의 취미 생활

나는 어릴 때부터 다양한 취미를 가져 왔다. 그림 그리기, 독서, 운동 등 여러 가지를 해 보았지만, 지금 가장 좋아하는 취미는 바로 베이킹이다. 베이킹을 시작하게 된 이유는 단순했다. 어느 날, 친구가 집에서 직접 만든 쿠키를 선물해 주었는데, 그 맛이 너무 특별하고 감동적이었다. 그래서 나도 직접 무언가를 만들어 보고 싶어졌다.

처음에는 오븐 온도 조절도 어렵고, 레시피를 따라하는 것도 힘들었다. 케이크를 만들다가 안에서 다 타 버린 적도 있고, 쿠키가 돌처럼 딱딱해진 적도 있었다. 실패할 때마다 속상했지만, 포기하지 않았다. 인터넷에서 베이킹 영상을 찾아 보고, 요리책도 여러 권 읽으면서 조금씩 실력을 쌓았다.

요즘은 쉬운 쿠키나 머핀뿐만 아니라, 치즈케이크나 마카롱 같은 어려운 디저트도 만들 수 있게 되었다. 가장 기억에 남는 순간은, 부모님 결혼기념일에 내가 만든 초콜릿 케이크를 선물했을 때이다. 부모님이 정말 맛있다며 행복해하셨고, 나도 뿌듯하고 기뻤다. 그날 이후로 베이킹은 나에게 단순한 취미가 아니라, 사랑을 전하는 방법이 되었다.

베이킹을 하면서 좋은 점이 많다. 하나는 스트레스를 해소할 수 있다는 것이다. 힘든 일이 있어도 반죽을 하고, 오븐에 굽고, 달콤한 냄새를 맡으면 마음이 편해진다. 또 다른 좋은 점은 주변 사람들과 행복을 나눌 수 있다는 것이다. 친구나 가족에게 직접 만든 빵이나 케이크를 선물하면, 모두가 웃으며 좋아한다. 이런 모습을 보면 내 마음도 따뜻해진다.

앞으로도 계속 베이킹을 즐기고 싶다. 그리고 언젠가는 나만의 특별한 디저트 레시피를 만들어 보고 싶다. 혹시 기회가 된다면 작은 베이커리를 열어 보는 것도 나의 꿈이다. 베이킹은 나에게 기쁨을 주는 소중한 취미이고, 앞으로도 내 삶에 큰 행복을 줄 것이라고 믿는다.

Talking about the Weekends | A2-В1 | Ep.2

Lucas goes to school every day of the week. He has many subjects to go to each school day: English, art, science, mathematics, gym, and history. His mother packs a big backpack full of books and lunch for Lucas.

His first class is English, and he likes that teacher very much. His English teacher says that he is a good pupil, which Lucas knows means that she thinks he is a good student.

His next class is art. He draws on paper with crayons and pencils and sometimes uses a ruler. Lucas likes art. It is his favorite class.

His third class is science. This class is very hard for Lucas to figure out, but he gets to work with his classmates a lot, which he likes to do. His friend, Kyle, works with Lucas in science class, and they have fun.

Then Lucas gets his break for lunch. He sits with Kyle while he eats. The principal, or the headmaster as some call him, likes to walk around and talk to students during lunch to check that they are all behaving.

The next class is mathematics, which most of the students just call math. Kyle has trouble getting a good grade in mathematics, but the teacher is very nice and helpful.

His fourth class is gym. It is just exercising.

History is his last class of the day. Lucas has a hard time staying awake. Many lessons are boring, and he is very tired after doing gym.

Which classes were your favorite? :)

10 important greetings in Hindi and Sanskrit

In the late 1970s, a naive young secretary abandons her hometown in Cleveland for San Francisco, and heads into a brave new world of strange and wonderful characters, in this cult classic novel by the Charles Dickens of San Francisco Armistead Maupin. Maupin writes in a simple, but creative way to blend together the lives of some of the city's most-eccentric inhabitants; which makes the story highly accessible for language learners*.

*Suitable for adults over the age of 18.
