(대학도서관관련 영어회화) 대학도서관 관련 기본회화 42개 상황

대학도서관관련(At the Library) 총 14개의 주제에 대해 42개의 전형적인 상황이 나옵니다. 대학도서관에서 만날 수 있는 온갖 상황을 접해 보실 수 있습니다. 대학의 꽃이라 불리는 도서관을 오늘 다시 한 번 방문해 보시지 않으시겠습니까?

회화는 읽고 또 읽고 하여 몸에 익도록 해야 합니다.
수학공부 하듯이 힘들여 한 방에 머리에 담으려 하지 마시고
느긋하게 부담없이 자주 자주 읽어서 몸으로 암기해야 합니다.

제일 좋은 방법은 전체를 하루에 한 번씩 습관적으로 읽는 겁니다.
절대 외우려고 하지 마시고, 몸에 익을 때까지 그냥 계속 읽으시면 됩니다.
이렇게 반복을 통해 몸으로 외운 것은 오래 오래 갑니다.
잘못하면 평생 갑니다.

외울 때는 머리가 아니라 몸으로!!!
말할 때는 머리가 아니라 가슴으로!!!
