[Essay/영작] (T-147) How would you use your own land?
랄라  |  12-07-27 15:58


 Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land? Use specific details to explain your answer.

Land is a valuable resource, and it is important to use it effectively. I think it would be most effective to create something that all people can enjoy. I therefore propose to use the land to build a campground. At the present time, there is little low-cost recreation in the area where I live. Building a campground would change that. Ultimately a campground would make a more enjoyable environment for everyone.
* land = 육지, 땅 / valuable resource = 귀중한 자원 / propose = 제안하다 / campground = 캠프지, 야영지 / low-cost = 비용이 적게 드는, 값싼 / recreation = 오락 / ultimately = 궁극적으로, 결국, 끝에는

Local entertainment is simply too expensive. A nice evening out can cost as much as one hundred dollars. Even movies and other less expensive types of entertainment are no longer cheap. Further, there are no real recreational facilities nearby. There are no parks within 30 miles. There are very few basketball courts, and most of those are in poor condition.
* local entertainment = 현지에서 즐길 수 있는 오락거리 / evening out = 저녁 외식 / no longer = 더 이상 ~가 아니다 / facility = 시설 / nearby = 인근에, 가까운 것에 / park = 공원 / basketball court = 농구장

Building a campground could change all that. Staying overnight at a campground is very inexpensive. It can cost as little as thirty dollars. Further, there would be a sports area and picnic tables for use by campers and also those who do not wish to stay overnight. A campground would provide a lot of activities for very little money. That would definitely improve this area. The result of building a campground will be that many more people will be able to afford an enjoyable evening out.
* stay overnight = 일박하다, 하룻밤을 묵어가다 / inexpensive = 비싸지 않은, 저렴한 / camper = 야영객, 캠핑객 / definitely = 분명히, 틀림없이 / afford = (금전적, 시간적)여유가 되다

A campground also promotes healthy living. People can get out and breathe fresh air. They can walk and hike and play basketball or other sports. That is certainly better than spending an evening sitting down, eating buttery popcorn in a movie theatre.
* promote = 촉진하다, 고취하다 / healthy living = 건강한 생활 / breathe = 호흡하다, 숨을 쉬다 / buttery popcorn = 버터가 든, 버터맛이 나는 팝콘 / movie theatre = 영화관

A campground will make the area beautiful as well as functional. We have many wonderful natural resources, but we need to cultivate them. In addition to all the other good things it can bring, building a campground will help us do just that.
* as well as = ~에 더하여, 게다가, ~일 뿐만 아니라 / functional = 기능적인, 실용적인 / natural resources = 천연 자원 / cultivate = 경작하다, 일구다, 재배하다
