3️⃣ 짧은 이야기 만들기
확장 연습한 문장들을 응용해 짧은 스토리를 만들었어요.
Short Story
The beach was full of people in gorgeous bathing suits.
I noticed some of them sticking out of the sand, half-buried like statues.
We weren’t supposed to kick them.
The smell of the ocean filled the air, standing out even among all the noise and laughter.
But what stood out the most was his face.
I quickly turned to the page with his picture.
I wished I could meet him for real.
Suddenly, a seagull soared into the sky, and I stumbled, nearly falling onto him as I tried not to kick anyone.
The wind, the waves, and something deep inside me all picked up at once.
I held on to him just in time.
Sunlight slanted across the beach, coloring the moment in gold.

오늘 공부한 방법이 저에게 더 잘 맞는 것 같았습니다.
Short story가 다소 어이없게 느껴지긴 했지만,
창의력과 순발력도 연습하다 보면 점점 나아질 거라 믿어요. ^^
당분간은 이런 스타일로 꾸준히 연습해 보려고 합니다.
특히 영어 표현들을 다양하게 적용해보는 감각을 키울 수 있어서 큰 도움이 될 것 같아요.
