20:42 ~ 22:39 (00:12)

Unit 101 ~ 110

후반부 유닛들이라서 그런지 문장도 많고, 못 알아먹겠는 문장들도 많다.

20번이나 읽었는데 정말 후반부 유닛들은 집중하지 않고 읽었나 보다.

생소한 문장들도 많다.

받아쓰기하다 보니 잘 안 들리더라도 어떤 상황에서의 문장인지만 떠오르면 대략적으로 문장을 완성시킬 수 있을 것 같은데...

문장 보고 상황이 안 떠오르거나, 바로 문장 해석이 안 되는 것들은 해석을 해서 상황을 상상하고 말하기까지 익혀야겠다.

그리고 느낀 거지만 ed form에 참 약하다...

ed가 들어간 문장들은 거의 대부분 걸러내질 못하고 있다.

이건 듣기 문제가 아니라 문장 상황에 대한 이해와 문법이 몸에 익어야 하는데 아직 멀었나 보다.

확실히 듣고 파악할 수 있는 연습을 더 많이 해야겠다.

오늘은 시간도 꽤 많이 걸린 것 같다.

10 유닛씩 하는 건 지칠 수 있을 것 같으니 22회 차부터는 하루에 5 유닛으로 줄이고 문장 상황에 대해서 좀 더 파고들어야겠다.
