 Small Talk

1. What did you do on the last day of 2017?

2. Did you make any New Year’s resolutions?

 Topic1. 2018 to be a great year

The year 2018 is just days old, but already there are indications it will be a great 12 months. This is according to a poll conducted by the international news service BNE. The service's top pollster asked pertinent questions about whether people were optimistic or pessimistic about the year ahead. A resounding 100 per cent of survey participants responded positively. They all thought 2018 would be a wonderful year, both in their personal lives and in terms of national and global issues. All those who took part in the survey were of the opinion that 2018 would be significantly better than the year 2017. A BNE spokesman said he was heartened by the responses and wished everyone good fortune.

The survey questioned participants' views on their hopes for their own life, as well as for the fate of the Earth. An overwhelming majority of people were convinced they would carry out their New Year resolutions. In particular, people were determined to get in shape, stop procrastinating, save money, and improve their English ability. Others said they would use their smartphones less often, eat less fast food and chocolate, and make sure their homes are always very, very tidy. Most participants were positive about the world in 2018. They thought there would be fewer wars, less pollution and an increase in goodwill shown to the less fortunate. Everyone hoped for more peace, love, happiness and prosperity.

Questions

1. How do you feel about 2018?
2. What are you optimistic and pessimistic about regarding 2018?
3. What do you think 2018 will be like for you?
4. What do you think 2018 will be like for the world?
5. What did you think of the year 2017?
6. What do you hope will happen in 2018?
7. What bad things might happen in 2018?
8. What has been the best year of your life, and why?

Topic2. You are what you eat, say scientists

Scientists have cast new light on the effects our diet has on our mental health. Researchers say what we eat affects and alters our brain chemistry up until the age of 30. They say this explains why older adults are more emotionally stable and resilient than under-30s. The research was conducted by a team led by Lina Begdache, a professor of health and wellness studies. Researchers said that while the link between our diet and diabetes, heart disease and obesity is well established, there is a paucity of research on the influence our dietary intake has on mental health. The researchers also suggested that mental well-being stimulated healthy eating, healthy practices, and exercising.

The research was carried out via an anonymous internet-based survey. It was sent through social media platforms to different professional and social group networks. Professor Begdache found that adults under 30 who ate fast food more than three times a week scored higher on levels of mental distress, anxiety and depression. She said that for adults over 30, the study found that eating less carbohydrates and more fruit reduced anxiety and depression. Begdache pointed to research showing how a Mediterranean diet was as good for our brain as for our body. She said: "It has all the components that are important for the healthy structure of the brain."

Questions

1. How healthy is your diet?

2. Do you eat any food to keep your brain healthy?

3. What do you know about the brain?

4. Are the under-30s less emotionally stable than the over-30s?

5. How does lots of cola and coffee affect our brain and mood?

6. Why is their so little research on diet and mental health?

7. Do mentally-well people have healthier lives?

8. Will you change what you eat from now on?

초중급반이란?

 - "꿈틀"엔 초급과 중급이 나뉘어져 open class로 운영되고 있습니다.(정원제가 아니라는 뜻입니다^^)

     그러나, 별다른 인터뷰도 없고 오로지 본인의 판단만으로 반을 결정해야 하는 문제점이 있네요..

     초급과 중급사이에서 모호함을 느끼는 분들~은 초중급반에서 부터 래팅 경험을 시작해 보세요.

     색다른 즐거움과 motivation이 기다리고 있습니다.

    우리반은 매주 신입멤버를 모집합니다.

  스터디 운영 방식은요?
