university life in Britain
In Britain, many university students live away from home. This gives them more freedom and the opportunity co meet lots of new people, but can also be difficult for some students who arc not used to being on their own and have never learnt co cook for themselves or even iron their clothes. In their first year, most students choose co live in student accommodation, which is sometimes on campus. After that, they tend to rent a flat or house with other students.
Part of student life is about understanding the importance of managing your money carefully: tuition fees, loans you may have taken out, money for food, and payments you have co make for your living costs, for electricity, etc. For this reason, many students find part-time jobs.
At university, you can often choose when you want to study, but you need co attend lectures, do your assignments on time, and plan your revision period before exams.

오늘은 한국 회사에서 정말 자주 쓰이는 표현, ‘확인 부탁드립니다’에 대해 배워볼게요.

‘확인하다’는 무언가를 다시 살펴보고, 문제가 없는지 또는 필요한 내용이 빠지지 않았는지를 점검하는 것을 말해요. 영어로는 check 또는 confirm이라는 뜻이죠.

그리고 여기서 ‘부탁드립니다’는 영어로 말하면 ‘please’와 같은 표현이에요.
공손하게 무언가를 요청할 때 쓰는 말이죠. 그래서 ‘확인 부탁드립니다’는 결국
→ “Please check” 또는 “Kindly confirm”이라는 뜻이 되는 거예요.

예를 들어, 어떤 파일을 이메일로 보낸 뒤에는 이렇게 말할 수 있어요.
👉 “첨부한 문서 확인 부탁드립니다.”
이 문장은 “이거 잘 받으셨는지, 내용에 이상은 없는지 한번 봐주세요”라는 의미를 담고 있어요.
상대방에게 부담을 주지 않으면서 자연스럽게 확인을 요청할 수 있는 표현입니다.

IELTS 85 Speaking

IELTS speaking part 1 and what the examiner is looking for.

arrator: Elvis Presley was born to a very poor family in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1935. His twin brother died at birth, and he was an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee thirteen years later. As a teenager, Elvis was interested in all kinds of music and wore colorful clothes with a distinctive hairstyle that he kept for much of his life.
Narrator: In 1954, Sam Phillips, a music producer at Sun Records in Memphis, asked Elvis to come in for an audition. When he played a song that he had composed himself, Phillips recognized the young man’s talent. He offered Elvis a contract and put together a three-piece band for him. They played blues and country music that they knew from the radio, night clubs and churches with both black and white members. The band had a big hit later that year with a cover of a song by Arthur Crudup called, “That’s All Right,” using a style called rockabilly. Their popularity took off in the southern states as people saw them perform in local venues and even heard them on national radio programs.
Narrator: In 1956, Elvis met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager and organized a contract with RCA Records in New York. As the hits kept on coming, he changed over to a more rock and roll sound and performed in numerous TV shows and in films.
Narrator: However, in 1958, Elvis was drafted into the army and gave up performing for a couple of years. When he finished his military service, he returned to his music career and during the 1960s he made more than thirty movies and recorded lots of songs. He also married and had a daughter.
Narrator: In 1968, Elvis performed in a Christmas TV special, which boosted his popularity for a while. Between 1969 and 1976, he also put on hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, with tickets regularly selling out. However, in the 1970s, his career started to go downhill, partly because of his lifestyle. He was living in Graceland, a mansion in Memphis that he had bought in 1957.
