[모임공지] 8월11일 M-PIS 224th Meeting and Topic Notice

[ben~]

달력 밑에 조그만하게 쓰여진 글씨...

평소 음력 절기를 그닥 신경쓰지 않는 편인데,

오늘은 유난히 눈에 띄네요~~~

입추...

가을의 길목 입니다.

아직 한여름의 징후가 널려 있긴 하지만,

올핸 유난히 가을도 빠르고,

계절을 앞당겨 부르는 것 같습니다.

세월의 흐름에 초연해 지기란 쉽지 않지만,

이맘때쯤엔

시간의 흐름에 대한 아쉬움 보단,

쾌적하고 낭만적인 계절에 대한

기대가 더 큰 듯 하네요.

어쩌면 얼마남지 않은 여름....

더 열정적으로 파이팅해야~ 하는

의무가 남아 있는지도 모르겠네요!!

자~ 입추 지나 맞이하는 월요일의 밤의 스터디...

8월11일에도 계속 됩니다.

댓글 다시죠^^

[Time table]

7;30~7;55  Greeting and small talk             8;00~8;50   Topic1  Conversation

9;00~9;50  Topic2  Conversation               9;50~10;00  Wrap up the study

Small Talk

1.    What are some behaviors you can’t stand on subways?

2.    Have you ever confronted someone on public transportation because of bad manner?

3.    Can you talk about an unpleasant incident you had using public transportation?

Topic1. Live alone or with parents

Almost two million young workers in the U.K. have to live with their parents because they cannot buy a house or rent a room. Newspapers in Britain call them the "clipped wing generation" because they are like birds who have had their wings cut. House prices in the U.K. are now so high that many young people cannot afford to buy one. This means a quarter of young adults have to live with their parents or grandparents. A poll found that 48 per cent of the people said the biggest problem was housing costs. Britain has a long history of young people moving away from the family home when they start working. Rising house prices are now making this more and more difficult to do.

A 32-year-old woman said she has been saving money for over ten years to pay the deposit for a new apartment. She said it was very difficult because the more she saves, the more house prices go up. She is worried about the future if she can't buy her own home. She told reporters why she didn't want to leave the family home and rent, saying: "If I move out now, the reality is I'll be stuck paying expensive rents for the rest of my life….The thought that I'm going to be living like a teenager into my late 30s or even 40s is really disheartening." A charity for homeless people said Britain's government needed to build more homes and sell them at a price that is low enough for younger people.

Questions

1.    Is it better to live alone or with parents?

2.    At what age is it best to live alone?

3.    How do parents feel when children move out?

4.    Is living with parents forever a good idea?

5.    Should people buy a home near their parents?

6.    How important is owning your own home to you?

7.    What would you really like to buy but cannot afford?

8.    Is it better to move to the countryside where houses are cheaper?

Topic2. Shaking hands and fist bump

A new(ish) and alternative form of greeting and showing respect has been found to be more hygienic than shaking hands. We have all seen it on TV. Basketball and baseball players do it after a teammate scores. Rock stars and actors do it onstage at awards ceremonies. Even U.S. President Barack Obama does it. What is it? Well, it's fist bumping. It's kind of like a high five, except the hand is clenched into a ball and the other person's fist is given a gentle nudge, knuckles to knuckles. Researchers at the University of Aberystwyth in Wales have discovered that this twenty-first-century greeting spreads one-twentieth of the germs than a traditional handshake does and around one-tenth of the germs in a high five.
An article on Wikipedia explains that the fist bump originated with American motorcycle gangs in the 1940s. It was easier and safer to fist bump another rider than to shake hands when two bikes were side by side at traffic lights. It achieved global exposure 70 years later when in 2008, President Obama and his wife Michelle fist bumped during a televised presidential campaign speech. There is less skin-to-skin contact during a fist bump so the chance of spreading germs is lower. A researcher said: "People rarely think about the health implications of shaking hands, but if the general public could be encouraged to fist bump, there is a genuine potential to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.

Questions

1.    How important is a handshake in our culture?

2.    Do you worry about germs when shaking hands?

3.    What are the best forms of greeting in Korean way?

4.    What are the best forms of greeting that you know of?

5.    What do you think of the high five?

6.    What do you think of fist bumping?

7.    Do you think fist bumping look so scampish?

8.    What do you think of the fact that Barack Obama fist bumps?

9.    Is fist bumping more of a men's or women's thing?

10. What do you think of hugging or kissing for greeting?
