Enjoying My Life in Korea

Fighting Fire with Fire

It’s summer in Korea, / and it’s getting

hotter. Back home, / I ate ice cream / to

stay cool. Koreans have a special way.

They eat food (that makes them sweat)! 사역동사 목적격 보어 ( 원형부정사 )

Lesson 7

One of the strangest sights (I’ve seen

in Korea) / was people (eating boiling

hot samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup))

/ on the hottest day of the year. In fact, /

it’s a popular summer dish, / especially

on very hot days. When I asked one of

them why, / someone explained [that it’s

because not only is it very healthy, / but

it also helps you cool down by causing

you to sweat a lot]

that one of the + 최상급 + 복수명사

is it very healthy,

Lesson 7

It’s part of the traditional Korean idea of

“fighting fire with fire.”

I decided to try it / for myself. It not

only smelled delicious / but also tasted

great! Still, /

I wasn’t sure about [eating hot soup / in

such hot weather]. However, / by the end

of the meal, / I had become a believer. I

was covered in sweat, / but I felt totally

wonderful!

staying cool and healthy in summer).

Lesson 7

Happiness Delivered to Your Door

When I moved to Korea, / one of the

first things (my coworker taught me)

was how to say my address]. I didn’t un-

derstand [why it was so important].

They explained [that I’d often give it

over the phone / when I ordered things

(to be delivered)].

Korea has a lot of delivery services!

The Korean word for delivery is baedal.

Lesson 7

Many restaurants here will deliver your

order to your door / at no extra charge.

[What really surprised me] was [that

most of the food is delivered / on real

plates rather than in disposable con-

tainers]. When you’re finished, / you just

leave the dishes outside your door / to

be picked up later. What’s more, / a lot

of delivery services operate 24 hours a

day!

Lesson 7

During the summer, / I sometimes

spend hot nights / by the Han River /

with my friends. One night / we had

nothing to eat, / so one of my friends

made a call. Thirty minutes later, / a man

drove up on a motorcycle and handed us

a pizza. I couldn’t believe it! I guess [my

friend just told him [which tree we were

sitting under]].

Lesson 7

Walking down the street, / you can of-

time to get used to it, / I don’t think [I

could live without baedal now]. It would

be very inconvenient!

Lesson 7

Jjimjilbangs: Relaxation for the Whole

Body

Although I enjoy my life in Korea, / it

can sometimes be very busy and stress-

ful. Luckily, there’s a convenient way to

relax. Korea has many spas called

jjimjilbangs, / which are quite different

from the spas or saunas (you see in the

West). Here’s [what usually happens] /

when I go to one.

Lesson 7

At the reception, / I’m given a key to a

locker

(in which I can keep my clothes). I start

by taking a nice hot shower. Once I’m

clean, / I get into the nearest bath. I can

feel my muscles relax / in the hot water.

Next, / I spend a few minutes / in a very

cold bath, / which really wakes me up!

Lesson 7

When I walk around the jjimjilbang, / I

wear a

T-shirt and shorts given out at reception. I

see some people playing board games or

cards, / while others eat boiled eggs,

sikhye (a sweet rice drink), or seaweed

soup. Even though there are a lot of peo-

ple, / everyone speaks quietly, / so it’s

peaceful.

Lesson 7

My next stop is the sauna. It’s a small,

hot room made of wood or stone. I

breathe in the heavy air, / and I feel like

bread baking in an oven.

Some people spend the night at the

jjimjilbang, / sleeping comfortably on

soft mats, / but I’m ready to go home by

then. Not only does my entire body feel

refreshed, / but all my tension is gone.

Koreans really know [how to relax]!
