최고관리자 | 20-01-28 23:51
“Home is where the heart is.” That’s so true. I’ve lived in many different houses during my life but not all of them have been home. When you are growing up, home is where your family lives. I left home when I was 18 and slowly my childhood home was no longer. Now it’s my parents’ house and not my home. I moved around a lot and only spent a year or so in most places I lived. They never really felt like home. A home is somewhere you feel totally relaxed and want to come home to. The expression “Home Sweet Home” is also true. You have to have nice feelings about it to call it home. Home doesn’t have to be in your home country. I’ve lived in several countries and have had a home in all of them.
* home = (특히 가족과 함께 사는) 집[가정]/ childhood = 어린 시절/ move around = 이동[이주]하다
All houses are unique. Even if they look the same from the outside, they are very different on the inside. I think houses are very interesting. I like looking at the way they are built and the style they are built in. In London there are many houses that are hundreds of years old. These are beautiful. You can still see much of the original wood and stone structure. Modern houses are also interesting. It’s funny how they copy many of the features of older houses. I love looking at houses when I travel. Every country has its own special designs, from Japan to Arabia to Greece. Nowadays people are building eco-friendly houses. They want houses that save energy and help protect the planet.
* unique = 유일무이한, 독특한; (아주) 특별한; 고유의, 특유의/ even if ~ = (비록) ~일지라도, (설사) ~이라고 할지라도/ on the inside = 안쪽 (면); 내부/ feature = 특색, 특징, 특성/ nowadays = 요즘에는/ eco-friendly = 친환경적인/ the planet = (특히 환경과 관련하여 말할 때) 세상; 행성
