• Although my listening skills in English are quite strong, my speaking always gives me away.
• Last Thursday, we planned a surprise party for my friend, who is about to get married. My other friends and I worked hard to keep it a secret, and we pulled it off successfully.
  • pull off:
    • (1) succeed in achieving or winning something difficult. => "he pulled off a brilliant first round win"
    • (2) (of a vehicle) move to the side of or off the road. => "there is no place to pull off in case of an accident"  (갓길에 세우세요!)
    • (3) (특이한 옷을) 잘 소화해내다

[Summarize this chapter]

요셉은 이삭에게 하지 말아야할 행동들을 당부함. 예를 들어 정치나, 노조 등에 연관된다든 지 등등. (복선일까..?)

다 같이 온천을 갔다와서 노곤노곤 해짐. 그리고선 Sunja와 이삭이 이불에 누워서 도란도란 얘기하다가!!!! 갑자기!!!!!!! 가까워짐. 사랑을 나눴나..? 거의 물레방아 보여주고 끝나는 옛날 영화같음. 어이없을무 ^0^ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• acknowledge: show that one has noticed or recognized (someone) by making a gesture or greeting.
