すずまりの日本語「きき耳ずきん」S2

第1話　静岡でバンジージャンプ⁈

안녕하세요.

오늘은 새해 계획을 말할 거예요.

여러분은 연초에(at the beginning of the year), 계획을 세워요? (계획을 세우다 make a plan)
저는 사실(actually) 새해 계획을 잘 세우지 않아요.

계획을 세우면 꼭 그 계획을 지켜야 할 것 같아서, 조금 부담스러워요. 
(계획을 지키다 keep to plan, a.부담스럽다 burdensome)

그래서 계획 대신, 올해 하고 싶은 것들을 더 생각하는 편이에요. 

2024년에는 작년보다 더 성장하고 싶어요. (v. 성장하다 develop)
한국어 선생님으로서도 더 성장하고 싶고, 인간적으로도 더 좋은 사람이 되고 싶어요.

그래서 책도 더 많이 읽고 자기 계발도 더 많이 하고 
좋아하는 사람들과 즐거운 시간을 더 많이 보내고 싶어요. 
(자기 계발 self-improvement, self-developement)

영어 공부도 더 하고, 다른 외국어들도 더 공부할 거예요. 
옛날에 독일어하고 러시아어하고 중국어를 공부했었는데 연습하지 않아서 다 잊어버렸어요. 독일어 공부를 다시 시작해 볼 생각이에요 ㅎㅎ

아! 그리고 원래 건강에 별로 관심이 없었는데,
이제 서른 살이 되어서 좀 건강에 신경을 써 보려고 해요.

저는 운동을 너~무 싫어해서, 운동보다는 건강한 음식을 먹는 것으로 건강을 더 신경 쓰려고 해요. 라면을 아주 좋아하는데 라면을 먹는 횟수를 좀 줄여야 겠어요 ㅎㅎ

여러분은 새해 계획이 있어요? 연초에 어떤 계획을 세워요?
올해 어떤 사람이 되고 싶어요? 무엇을 하고 싶어요?

반짝반짝 빛나는 여러분을 언제나 응원합니다.
새해에는 소망하는 모든 일들이 다 이루지기를 진심으로 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

Daily English Podcast Chapter # 5

The price of bitcoin hit more than $100,000 for the first time as the value of the cryptocurrency continues to soar following the election of Donald Trump.

This came just hours after the President-elect indicated he'd take a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry during his presidency.

It climbed from $69,374 on the day of Trump's election on November 5 and rose as high as $103,713 on December 4, according to CoinDesk.

Just two years ago, bitcoin dropped below $17,000 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

However, experts aren't sure how long the value of bitcoin will remain high as cryptocurrency is highly volatile.

Some are hopeful of future gains, but others continue to warn of investment risks.

Trump, who was once a crypto skeptic, has said he wants to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet." His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he has also launched World Liberty Financial, a new project with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Many in the crypto industry have welcomed Trump's victory, hoping that he'll be able to push through changes that they've long lobbied for — which, generally speaking, aim for an increased sense of legitimacy without too much red tape.

Trump has already made a move in that direction, saying he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under current chair Gary Gensler, the SEC has cracked down on the crypto industry, penalizing a number of companies for breaking securities laws.

But what is cryptocurrency, really?

In basic terms, cryptocurrency is digital money. It is designed to work through an online network without a central authority — meaning it's typically not backed by any government or banking institution — and transactions get recorded with technology called a blockchain.
