This was my first of eleven walks with Dr. Mark. He already knows a lot of medical terminology in English, and he speaks some conversational Chinese after having spent several years in China with his family, servicing an in-residence Korean-senior community in China. Mark and I did a 10K route (Course D). Over time, he will experience my four other 10K courses, and he might be persuaded to join me for a 33K walk during the night from Yangpyeong to Yeoju, which is one of my favorite walks. What follows is a review and quiz about some of the material we discussed during our walk.
이번 산책은 마크 박사님과 함께한 총 11번의 산책 중 첫 번째 산책이었습니다.
마크 박사님은 이미 영어 의학 용어를 많이 알고 계십니다. 또한 과거에 가족과 함께 중국에서 몇 년간 거주하시면서 현지에 거주하는 한국인 어르신들을 돌보는 일을 하셨기 때문에 일상적인 중국어 회화도 어느 정도 가능하십니다.
이번에는 마크 박사님과 함께 10km 코스인 D코스를 걸었습니다. 앞으로는 제가 운영하는 나머지 네 개의 10km 코스도 하나씩 경험해 보실 예정입니다. 어쩌면 제가 가장 좋아하는 산책 코스 중 하나인 양평에서 여주까지 밤새 걷는 33km 코스에도 함께하시도록 설득할 수 있을지 모르겠네요!
아래 내용은 이번 산책 중에 나누었던 이야기와 배웠던 표현들을 복습하고 확인할 수 있도록 준비한 복습 자료와 퀴즈입니다.

GRAMMAR
- Try not to drop the plural or 3rd-person "s." Use the plural "s" for 복수 명사 and the 3rd-person "s" for 3이칭 동사. She sings in the shower. He drives like a crazy person.
- Try not to drop the past-participle "-ed." A past participle = 과거분사. He has watched TV. She has formed an opinion. The baby has cried a lot.
PRONUNCIATION
purpose = / ˈpɜr pəs /—sounds a bit like surface
not "per-POHZ"
surged = /sɜːrdʒd/—urged, merged, verged, purged, converged, emerged, aged
At the end is a \ j + t \ sound with no vowel in between.
changed = /tʃeɪndʒd/—arranged, deranged, unchanged, estranged
At the end is a \ j + t \ sound with no vowel in between.
So changed is never "chain-jed."
