Nan's story

'Head over heels', 'butterflies in the tummy', 'the apple of my eye'- in English there are many idioms to describe what it feels like to fall in love. Aww, I didn't know you were such a romantic, Neil! But do you know what's actually happening in our brains when we fall in love? Because I'm sorry to say this, Neil, but it's more about brain chemistry than romance- specifically hormones, chemical..

나와 다른 상대의 의견을 듣고 존중하는 일.대의를 위해 무엇이 가장 좋은 것인가를 생각하는 일. 상대는 나와 다른 상황과 환경속에 살고 있으며, 그래서 나와 다른 생각을 할 수 있다는 것을 인정하는 일. 그 모든 일들이 홍익인간으로서 내가 갖추어야 할 내공이라는 것을 알아가며...

You mean the different groups used to classify humans by blood- types A, B, AB and O. I think I'm type O. How about you, Neil?Well, it may sound strange but actually I don't know. Hmm, lots of westerners don't know theri blood type, but in parts of Asia blood groups are a topic of daily conversation. People select romantic partners based on blood type and different blood groups are associated wi..

And I'm Georgie. For me, there's nothing like reading a book- I love turning the pages and the smell of the paper. But nowadays, the fact is that much of the time we read from electronic screens, not paper. Yes. Like Gerogina, I love books. I also find that too much screen time hurts eyes. But the availability of digital information means that I end up reading from screens most days. So, apart f..

Tell me, Sam, do you think Neil Armstrong really landed on the Moon in 1969? I mean, that must be fake news! And who shot JFK? Surely the CIA were involved? Unless it was the giant lizards controlling the government!Oh dear! It looks like reading online conspiracies has sent Neil down the rabbit hole- an expression used to describe a situation which seems interesting and uncomplicanted at first ..

24.8.3 안동 하회마을에서 선유줄불놀이 행사가 있었다. 동생과 함께 그 곳에 가게 되었다. 온전히 동생의 요청에 의해 가게된 여행이었다. 서울에서부터 안동까지 긴 시간 폭염속에서의 여행이었다. 그러나, 그 만큼 그 곳의 지기를 받을 수 있었던 소중한 시간이었다. 떨어지는 낙화같은 불꽃을 보며 홍익인간의 빛나는 삶을 축원하였다. 낙동강 부용대에서 소중한 추억을 만들며...

How are you, Neil?I've been as busy as a bee this week, Sam. Oh, don't you sound like the bee's knees!All right, Sam, there's no need to get a bee in your bonnet!As you can hear, English is full of idioms involving bees. But the sad truth is that bee numbers are declining at an alarming rate and in some places disappearing altogether. And this has serious consequences for humans.Today, one third..

And I'm Georgina. Have you finished writing that report yet, Neil?Err, not quite- it's almost done. Well, finish it this morning please, then make sure you've planned all the studio sessions for the week and show me so I can double check, OK?OK. Has this ever happened to you? Being micromanaged by someone? That's what it's called when your boss wants to control everything, down to the smallest d..

내가 태어나 7살 되던 해.교통사고가 있었고 나는 죽을 수 도 있다는 얘기를 들으며 큰 수술을 했다. 발전된 의술의 힘으로 다시 살게된 두 번째 인생. 남들과는 조금은 다른 인생을 살아오며 나의 길에 후회나 아쉬움은 없다. 지천명을 살아가며 다시 turning point에 서 있다. 수호신의 가호아래 올바른 길을 걸어 갈 것을 믿는다.

Now, Harry, do you have many passwords?Passwords- you mean the set of words and numbers which I keep secret and allow me to access information?Yes, I do actually. I've got a few for my computer and the different websites I use, and then there are my cards- cedit card, debit card. And there's one for my ID here at the BBC and then there is...OK, yes! Sometimes I struggle to remember them all. And..
