Nan's story

These days, our lives are filled with devices that were inimaginable only a few years ago- the sorts of things you read about in science- fiction novels, but never thought you'd own. Yes, like those robots that vaccum your floor or voice-activated lights- we call many of these things 'smart tech'.But while they can help with the little tasks at home, some people are worndering whether they can h..

Do you think robots could ever become intelligent, Sam?Well, if you believe Hollywood movies like 'Robocop', robots will grow more powerful than their human creators and take control. You've been watching too many sci-fi movies, Sam! But seriously- do you think robots will ever be able to think or drea? Could they fall in love or create art?It's hard to say, but because of the huge advances in a..

Neil, would you describe yourself as 'numbers person'?If you mean, am I someone who understands numbers is good as using them and interpreting data, then no!OK, so, maybe like me, you weren't good at maths at school?No, I wasn't. Algebra, geometry, time tables- it was all very confusing. We're not alone, Neil, but the fear of numbers might just be in our heads, and might have enough number knowl..

방문간호사의 역할을 수행하며 이 직업은 part time으로 하는 것이 좋다는 생각을 하게 되었다. 체력이 아주 강건하지 않은 이상 여러 집을 방문하기 어렵고 방문 가방역시 무겁다. 보건소에서 full time으로 재활방문 간호사로 일한 적이 있다. 7일 중 5일을 방문하는 것은 체력적으로 많이 지쳤다. 육아를 하며 짜투리 시간을 이용해 부업을 하고 싶은 분들 에게는 괜찮을 수 있겠다.

Are you feeling well, Sam? No headache or sore throat?No, I feel fine, thanks, Neil. Why do you ask?Well, I've been reading some inspirational stories about the doctors and nurses fighting Covid. When I was a boy, I always dreamed of becoming a doctor. Ah, I see. Have you ever been in hospital?Yes, I have, and I remember the nurse's bedside manner- you kno, the kind and caring way that doctors a..

폭풍의 영향으로 소나기가 왔다가 폭염이 오는 주기가 반복되고 있다. 다음 주 화요일에 미국에서 온 친구가 돌아간다고 한다. 월요일날 나와 함께 자고 다음 날 공항에 데려다 주기로 했다. 나의 두 다리로 이 땅위에 단단히 서고, 내가 할 수 있는 최선에서 세상을 이롭게 하는 사람으로 살기를...부드러우나 항상 냉철한 분별위에 서 있기를...그러한 내공의 공부를 계속하며.

When it comes to sport, there's something for everyone. Do you play a sport, Georgina?I used to play in a netball team years ago. Now I go jogging and I enjoy swimming too. Yes, I go jogging sometimes and I play football, although I'm no Ronaldo!But some sports, the so- called 'full contact' sports like rugby. American football and boxing are much more dangerous. Now, the truth about the long-te..

This is the programme where we hope to add some color to your life by talking about an interesting subject and teaching you some useful vocabulary. And color is what we're talking about today. What's your favorite color, Neil?Oh, I like green- a fresh, bold color, that reminds me a natue- it can have a calming effect, and you?It's got to be blue- it reminds me of the sea, the sky- and holidays, ..

Neil, I'm going to tell you a joke. OK, come on. Which part of learning  the English language are boxers best at?Which part of English are boxers best at? I don't know. Punch- uation (punctuation)That's actually quite funny.Do you really think so?I do, yes. Well, I'm glad I made you laugh. But you might not thank me for it after the programme. Why's that?Because a paper publishee by the British ..
