나의 친구 강아지

작년 봄, 저는 강아지 한 마리를 만났어요.
친구가 “보리”라는 강아지를 잠깐 맡아 달라고 했어요.
처음에는 무서웠지만, 보리를 보고 마음이 바뀌었어요.
보리는 작고 귀여운 갈색 강아지였어요.

보리는 저를 처음 봤을 때 조용히 다가왔어요.
손을 살짝 핥고, 꼬리를 흔들었어요.
그때 저는 '아, 이 강아지는 착하구나'라고 생각했어요.
그날부터 우리는 친구가 되었어요.

보리와 함께 산책도 하고, 공놀이도 했어요.
제가 공을 던지면 보리는 달려가서 물고 왔어요.
매일 아침 보리와 산책하는 시간이 정말 좋았어요.

어느 날, 제가 감기에 걸려서 아팠어요.
침대에 누워 있을 때, 보리가 제 옆에 조용히 앉았어요.
보리의 따뜻한 몸이 제 마음까지 따뜻하게 만들었어요.
그때 저는 보리가 단순한 동물이 아니라 진짜 친구라고 느꼈어요.

지금은 보리가 다시 친구 집으로 돌아갔어요.
하지만 보리와 함께한 시간은 제게 소중한 추억이에요.
언젠가 다시 보리를 만나고 싶어요.

Show you how the pronunciation of "okay" is different in 5 different languages

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

Anxiety 🏥

During the summers not too long ago, when politicians were on vacation and schools were closed, news in the UK often featured stories about things like cats in trees and UFOs, because there wasn't much else to report.

It was called "silly season" in the UK — of course there was other news, but not the usual daily politics, so there was more time for happier stories.

But some may feel like there isn't time for silly season these days.

And according to a recent study, thinking about the news is making British people anxious, something that's causing some of them to avoid engaging with it.

It also means they're less likely to engage with politics, the study suggests.

Researchers spoke to 43 people in the UK who said they never or rarely engage with professionally made news, whether that's on television, in newspapers or online.

The research was published in September 2022, but the interviews took place between November 2016 and March 2017, not long after the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU).

However, for most, it may not have been leaving the EU that caused them to avoid the news. Many reported feeling anxious or afraid when thinking about news stories featuring crime, war or terrorism.

People did think that they should know a little bit about global and national events, but this wasn't always enough to make them follow the news.

Many felt they could not understand the country's politics, or that political news was not relevant to them.

For politicians themselves, this could be a challenge, suggests the study — trying to communicate with those who avoid the news.
