영문사설과의 만남

 

이번 것은 연합뉴스의 영문사설입니다.
비교적 친숙하고 관심이 갈만한 기사들을 골라
약간의 강의를 곁들이겠습니다.

 

일단은 흥미를 가지게 되는 것이 중요합니다.
가볍게, 재미있게 자주 접하시기만 해도
일단은 성공입니다.
영어공부에서 효율은 가장 덜 중요합니다.
효율적으로 하루만 하고 말아버리면 아무런 소용이 없지요.
꾸준히 지속적으로 영어를 접할 수 있는 방법!
이것이 정답입니다.

 

기회가 된다면 연합뉴스외에도
The Korea Times,
The Korea Herald,
The Washington Post,
The New York Times,
The Wall Street Journal 등의 사설들 중에서
가볍고 재미있고 우리의 관심을 끌만한 것들이 있으면
소개하고자 합니다.

 

(연합뉴스 사설 / Yonhap Editorial)  SEOUL, Oct. 24, 2012 

Measures needed to curb students' high risk of smartphone addiction (curb 막다/addiction 중독)

 

Smartphone addiction at elementary, middle and high schools is becoming serious, with most students crouching over their gadgets to chat and text even during breaks and lunch time, instead of playing on the playground. (crouch over ~위에 구부리고 있다/gadget 기계,장치/text 문자를 보내다)

 

   Strife in classrooms has also notably increased, as students using their smartphones during class strongly challenge their teachers when they attempt to confiscate them. A student attacked his teacher with a knife at a Daegu high school after the teacher tried to confiscate his smartphone, a case that has become a culmination of the conflict present in almost all schools nationwide. (strife 논쟁,분쟁/notably 현저하게/confiscate 압수하다/culmination 절정/conflict 분쟁,다툼/nationwide 전국적으로)

 

   A survey conducted by the Gyeonggi Provincial Education Administration of 1.45 million students in its jurisdiction last month showed six out of every 10 students had smartphones. (conduct 실시하다/jurisdiction 관할)

 

   About 45 percent of those surveyed said they use their smartphones for one to three hours a day on average, mostly for chatting and text messaging, while 10 percent said they spend more than five hours a day on their devices. (on average 평균적으로/device 기계,장치)

 

   When using a diagnostic quiz to measure addiction levels developed by the National Information Society Agency, 2.2 percent of the respondents were considered addicts, with 5.7 percent being potential addicts, according to the survey. (diagnostic quiz 진단테스트/addict 중독자/potential 잠재적인)

 

   The outcomes in Gyeonggi Province are unlikely to significantly differ if and when similar surveys are conducted in other regions. (outcome 결과/significantly 현저하게,의미있게)

 

   With smartphone overuse, many addicted students said they cannot manage their daily life properly, and have difficulties in their studies and interpersonal relationships. (overuse 과사용/interpersonal relationship 대인관계)

 

   Young smartphone addicts show symptoms similar to withdrawal, becoming restless and nervous, and feeling helpless when their smartphones are taken away from them. (symptom 증상/withdrawal 금단증상/restless 안절부절 못하는,불안한/helpless 무력한,어쩔 없는)

 

   It is notable that the addiction rate is growing in parallel with age, contrary to Internet addiction, indicating that the issue will continue to deteriorate. (notable 주목할만한,현저한/in parallel with ~ 비례하여/contrary to ~ 반대로/deteriorate 악화되다)

 

   Accordingly, banning the use of smartphones at least at schools seems to be needed, although some schools currently allow their students to use smartphones and other electronic devices, citing their human rights. (cite 인용하다,거론하다)

 

   It is timely that the Education Ministry distributed a booklet on the prevention of youth addiction to the Internet, gaming and smartphones to schools nationwide for the first time last month. (distribute 배포하다/booklet 소책자)

 

   Student addicts should be given access to professional counseling as early as possible. The issue, however, cannot be resolved solely by schools.

It is meaningful that some local governments are operating counseling programs, and that civic organizations are staging a campaign to call on the National Assembly to enact a law to prevent and treat students' smartphone addiction. (professional 전문적인/local government 지방정부/civic organization 시민단체/stage a campaign 캠페인을 전개하다/call on 요청하다)

 

   Smartphone manufacturers and mobile carriers, who rake in huge profits from their smartphone sales, should also join the efforts.

All of society should aggressively seek ways to head off student addiction at a time when the gadget has become an influential part of daily life. (mobile carrier 이동통신사/rake in 쓸어담다/huge 거대한/aggressively 공격적으로/head off 막다)

Presidential Campaign Enters Final Stretch; Update on Malala`s Condition

Aired October 26, 2012 - 00:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We haven`t finished everything we set out to do in 2008, but you know that every single day that I set foot in that office, I am thinking about you. I am fighting for your families. And with your help, I`ve been keeping the commitments that I made.

MITT ROMNEY, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: The Obama campaign is slipping, because it can`t find an agenda to help the American families. But our campaign is growing into a movement across this country that says we`re going to get America back, we`re going to get America strong, we`re going to provide for our families.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Powerful words from the candidates. Today we`re going to look at their campaigns` big push with less than two weeks to go until election day. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.

Visiting four states might sound like a full vacation. You pack up your car, spend a few days in each spot. If you`re a presidential candidate, that`s not a one-week trip. You do that in a day. From now through November 6th, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will be all over the country. This is what former Governor Mitt Romney`s day looked like yesterday -- moving around the state of Ohio, visiting campaign rallies in three different cities. So Thursday in Ohio, on Tuesday he was in Colorado, Iowa on Wednesday, plus visits to Nevada, Florida and Virginia were scheduled for this week as well. President Obama just wrapped up a campaign trip that took him to eight states in 48 hours. Wednesday, he went to Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and California. On Thursday, he started the day in Florida, and then hit Virginia, Illinois and Ohio before heading back to the White House in Washington.

That stop in Illinois was a quick one but a historic one. The president went to Chicago to cast his ballot early. It`s the first time that a U.S. president has used early voting.

You might have noticed the candidates are visiting a lot of the same states. Those are what`s known as battleground states or swing states. Political experts say it`s not certain which candidate will win those states on election day, which is why the candidates are likely to spend a lot of time campaigning there.

Next up today, we have an update for you on Malala Yousafzai. The teenager was shot by the Taliban for demanding education rights for girls in her home country of Pakistan. Malala was moved to the United Kingdom for medical treatment. She has a long recovery ahead of her, but doctors say she is making progress. She`s in stable condition, and can communicate with hospital staff by writing notes. Malala hasn`t been with her parents since she was moved to the U.K. That changed yesterday. Her mom and dad, he`s the one speaking here, they flew to the United Kingdom from Pakistan to be with their daughter. Pakistani police have identified this man, Atta Ulla Khan (ph), as the main suspect in Malala`s shooting. Yesterday, he was still out there. Six other men had been arrested in connection with the attack, though.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: See if you can ID me. I`m a U.S. national monument that`s more than 300 feet tall and weighs more than 150 tons. I was a gift from France. In one hand, I`m holding a tablet, and in the other, I`m holding a torch.

I`m the Statue of Liberty, and Sunday is my 126th birthday.

AZUZ: The day after its 125th birthday, the statue was closed for repairs, set to open back up on Sunday. Zoraida Sambolin joined a few wounded warriors, U.S. military veterans who were injured in combat, for a sneak preview of some of the monument`s upgrades.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ZORAIDA SAMBOLIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The Statute of Liberty`s crown and interior have been closed for a year, but for retired Marine Corps Larry Hughes, it`s seemingly been longer. That`s because the observation level of this iconic symbol of freedom was not wheelchair accessible until today.

LARRY HUGHES, VETERAN: Amazing.

SAMBOLIN: Hughes, a Vietnam vet, is taking the inaugural ride in a newly installed elevator to the statue`s observation deck.

HUGHES: Just to be here was something that never really entered into my mind, because something I hate to be turned down, I hate to be rejected. So I`m no longer being rejected. I`m being here.

SAMBOLIN: The new elevator is just part of a year-long, $30 million renovation that also includes upgrading stairwells and making safety improvements. The end result -- a more accessible Lady Liberty that will allow an additional 26,000 visitors each year a chance to enjoy her spectacular views.

KIRK BAUER, VIETNAM VETERAN: When these adaptions are made, it opens up tremendous opportunities for all of us.

SAMBOLIN: Among the first to see the new renovations, two generations of severely wounded warriors. I joined Kirk Bauer, who lost his leg in Vietnam, and Jesse Acosta, who suffered injuries to his hip from a roadside bomb in Iraq, on the 146-step climb to the top.

So you stuck your head out of?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The crown.

SAMBOLIN: The crown. What do you think, is this what you expected?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fantastic. Actually, it`s more tight than I thought looking up, but it is just an incredible view.

SAMBOLIN: The renovation was full of challenges. Because of the statue`s location and because they had to do it all without drilling into any part of the historic structure.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today`s Shoutout goes out to Mr. Martin`s (ph) American government classes at Minden high school in Minden, Nebraska. What is the name of the computer coding system that uses zeros and ones? Here we go. Is it binary, HTML, Linux or Metacarpal? You`ve got 3 seconds, go.

Binary means made of two parts, and binary code is made up of two things, zeros and ones. That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.

AZUZ: If you translate the word "hi" to Spanish, it`s ola. To German, it`s hallo. To binary, it`s 0110100011101001. I had to practice that. Seems kind of complicated, but it also could be more lucrative. It could pay you more down the road. Laurie Segall looks at the coding in the classroom.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NAQUAL ROBINSON, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT: Another I and an equal sign and an I plus one.

LAURIE SEGALL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It sounds like gibberish. You like this better than Italian?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

SEGALL: Better than French? It`s computer code, and it may be more valuable than any other language high school students study.

HENRY FERSKO, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT: That`s where you have the most jobs right now, I would say, in technology and stuff.

SEGALL: Becoming a lawyer or a doctor is now passe. With unemployment for 20- to 24-year-olds at 12.4 percent, the hot job now? Tech entrepreneur.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So how do you call the function?

SEGALL: But to join the club, you`ve got to speak the language not many are fluent in -- programming.

Do you think this is increasingly important for college students and for the job market for people to learn these kind of skills?

KLANA LOWERY, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT: Of course, of course, because new technology is being like built every day. You`ve got iPhones, you got all that type of stuff. So it`s like, you can use this stuff to actually help you understand it.

SEGALL: Salaries for people with coding skills are high. Entry-level software engineers at companies like Google and Facebook pay in the six figures.

Now, over a 40-year career, the engineering major can make over $1 million more than the average college grad, so it`s definitely a job that pays, and one where these tech skills are necessary. But the problem is, computer science software engineering firms can`t find enough skilled workers. Enter Codecademie, an online company that teaches the average Joe the most basic programming skills. Now they created a curriculum specifically for schools.

ZACH SIMS, FOUNDER, CODECADEMY: There`s not enough teacher training for teachers who are interested in learning to become computer science and programming teachers, either.

SEGALL: Teacher Courtney Ginsberg decided to learn coding at the Codecademie web site. Now she`s using it to help her students get prepped for the job market.

COURTNEY GINSBERG, TEACHER: It`s getting harder and harder for my students to get even the after-school jobs they got a few years ago when I started teaching.

SEGALL: Codecademie says it`s in nearly 2,000 schools now, another step towards building the strength of America`s tech labor force. And for kids today who have an iPhone in hand and spend a lot of time on apps, the idea of building one for a living does not sound bad. They grew up on Facebook and paid attention to the story.

RANDI ZUCKERBERG, FOUNDER AND CEO, ZUCKERBERG MEDIA: I think we`ve just seen so many really cool success stories of young people who, you know, came to Silicon Valley with a dream and hit it really big. I think we`re also in a very interesting economic time in this country, and people are more open to taking risks and trying something new.

SEGALL: Do you think you have the next Mark Zuckerberg in your class?

GINSBERG: That would be amazing.

SEGALL: Laurie Segall, CNNMoney, New York.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

AZUZ: High school kicker Anthony Storego (ph) hasn`t missed a field goal this year, and he didn`t miss this one, either. The difference? The kick in this Youtube video was a game winner that happened with just 21 seconds left on the clock. That`s a tough situation, but Anthony is used to overcoming adversity. He lived in nearly a dozen foster homes growing up, and Anthony suffers from autism. But on the football field, he`s just another one of the guys. Well, except for when he hit that game winner last Friday. Then, as his quarterback put it, Anthony was the man. And if he keeps up his streak of perfection, he`ll definitely give his team a leg up on the competition. We`re running out of football puns. Sooner or later, we`re just going to have to punt, but there`s no time left on the clock for us, so have a great weekend. See you later.
