Public facilities will also be required to make free period products available in restrooms. There were roughly 220,000 girls and women between the ages of 12 and 54 living in relative poverty after housing costs as of 2018. Scotland's move follows a string of recent attempts to tackle period poverty in the country. * set up a universal system: 보편적인 체계를 확립하다* a string of (sth): ~의 일환* A string of similar events is a series of them that happen one after the other. ▶ Good to Hear News (2)In recent years, hanboks have caught on as trendy fashion items among young people. And now, two local middle schools adopted hanbok school uniforms from Nov. 16.

"Chop 'em off and throw 'em in the dustbin, you understand?"Amanda, paralysed with fright, managed to stutter, "My m-m-mummy likes them. She p-p-plaits them for me every morning.""Your mummy's a twit!" the Trunchbull bellowed. She pointed a finger the size of a salami at the child's head and shouted, "You look like a rat with a tail coming out of its head!""My m-m-mummy thinks I look lovely, Miss T-T-Trunchbull," Amanda stuttered, shaking like a blancmange."I don't give a tinker's toot what your mummy thinks!" the Trunchbull yelled, and with that she lunged forward and grabbed hold of Amanda's pigtails in her right fist and lifted the girl clear off the ground. Then she started swinging her round and round her head, faster and faster and Amanda was screaming blue murder and the Trunchbull was yelling, "I'll give you pigtails, you little rat!""Shades of the Olympics," Hortensia murmured. "She's getting up speed now just like she does with the hammer“. Ten to one she's going to throw her.”And now the Trunchbull was leaning back against the weight of the whirling girl and pivoting expertly on her toes, spinning round and round, and soon Amanda Thripp was travelling so fast she became a blur, and suddenly, with a mighty grunt, the Trunchbull let go of the pigtails and Amanda went sailing like a rocket right over the wire fence of the playground and high up into the sky.” ▶ Underlined (2) 담임샘“This way," Miss Honey said, and she opened the gate and led Matilda through and closed it again. They were now walking along a narrow lane that was no more than a rutted cart-track. There was a high hedge of hazel on either side and you could see clusters of ripe brown nuts in their green jackets. The squirrels would be collecting them all very soon, Miss Honey said, and storing them away carefully for the bleak months ahead."You mean you live down here?" Matilda asked."I do," Miss Honey replied, but she said no more.Matilda had never once stopped to think about where Miss Honey might be living. She had always regarded her purely as a teacher, a person who turned up out of nowhere and taught at school and then went away again. Do any of us children, she wondered, ever stop to ask ourselves where our teachers go when school is over for the day? Do we wonder if they live alone, or if there is a mother at home or a sister or a husband? "Do you live all by yourself, Miss Honey?" she asked."Yes," Miss Honey said. "Very much so.” ▶ Underlined (3) 끝~새가족“I've been expecting something like that to happen," she said."You have? Why?" Matilda asked."Well," Miss Honey said, "it's only a guess, but here's what I think. While you were in my class you had nothing to do, nothing to make you struggle. Your fairly enormous brain was going crazy with frustration. It was bubbling and boiling away like mad inside your head. There was tremendous energy bottled up in there with nowhere to go, and somehow or other you were able to shoot that energy out through your eyes and make objects move. But now things are different. You are in the top form competing against children more than twice your age and all that mental energy is being used up in class. Your brain is for the first time having to struggle and strive and keep really busy, which is great. That's only a theory, mind you, and it may be a silly one, but I don't think it's far off the mark.""I'm glad it's happened," Matilda said. "I wouldn't want to go through life as a miracle-worker.""You've done enough," Miss Honey said. "I can still hardly believe you made all this happen for me.”
