안녕하세요? 2023년 5월 13일 한국어 강사 Sadie예요.
오늘은 일상생활 속에서 자주 시용되는 문법을 하나 배워볼까해요. 
Today, we are going to learn a grammar that is often used in everyday life.

* Vern stem + 아/어/해 본 적이 있다 (없다)

과거의 무언가를 시도한 경험의 유무를 물어볼 때 쓰는 표현이에요. 
Which means to have the experience of having tried something. 

예를 들어 볼게요. Let me give you a few examples.
- 가다 to go / 가 +(아)본 적이 있다 have been to
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본 적이 있다  have tried
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본 적이 있다  have used 
- 만나다 to meet / 만나+ (아)본 적이 있다 have met 

- 가다 to go / 가+본 적이 없다 have never been to 
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본적이 없다 have never tried 
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본적이 없다  have never used
- 만나다  to meet / 만나 +(아) 본 적이 없다 have never met 

- 저는 미국에 가 본 적이 있어요. I have been  to the U.S. 
- 한국 음식을 먹어 본 적이 없어요. I’ve never tried Korean food. 

그럼 짧은 대화를 통해서 이 표현이 어떻게 쓰이는지 들어볼까요? 
Let's listen to a short conversation using this expression

1) 
A 어제 명동에서 연예인을 만났어요.   Yesterday, I met a celebrity in Myeongdong. 
B 와， 난 지금까지 한 번도 연예인을 만난 적이 없어요.  Wow, I’ ve never met a celebrity.  

2)
A 시장에서 물건 값을 잘 깎아요? Can you bargain well at the market? 
B 아니요， 깎아 본 적이 없어요. No, I’ve never been able to bargain. 

어땠나요?  어렵지 않죠?  그럼 아래의 연습문제도 한번 해보시기 바랄게요. 

1. Have you seen this guy before? (to see = 보다, this guy = 이 남자) 
2. Have you attended before? (to attend 참석하다)

그럼  다음시간까지 안녕히 계세요.

The Last Stop - Short Story (horror)

At what age do we become "old?"

This is a question a team of European researchers has been asking.

The age at which people think old age begins has moved in time, according to a new study.

Many people also like to believe they haven't yet reached old age, even as they get older.

The research team looked at data from the German Ageing Survey, which included more than 14,000 participants.

The participants were born between 1911 and 1974, and answered survey questions over a 25-year period between 1996 and 2021.

They were aged between 40 and 85 when they began answering the questions, and more participants joined the survey in time.

People were asked a lot of questions, including: "At what age would you describe someone as old?"

The researchers found that when people born in 1911 got to the age of 65, they thought old age began at 71.

But when those who were born in 1956 got to 65, they thought old age began at 74, on average.

However, the study also found that people's perceptions of old age changed as they got older.

At the age of 64, the average participant said old age began at about 75. But at the age of 74, the average participant said old age began at about 76.

Study author Markus Wettstein said he wasn't sure if this meant people had a positive or negative view of old age.

Better health care and increased life expectancy in recent years may also have affected people's perceptions, he said.
