P. 17 “What a day!” sighed my uncle as he sank into 감탄문 the couch.

Plus, I’ve 접속부사: 게다가(= In addition) got to deal with people every day, too. They’re ~을 다루다(= manage) called teachers and classmates. ” 3

P. 18 “Well, that’s different, ” he said. “You don’t have to deal with any of life’s real pressures. I don’t 압박 see how you get stressed from going to school 간접의문문 전치사+동명사 and hanging out with your friends. I’d love to 병렬 구조(and로 연결) be in your shoes. ” ~의 입장에 처하다 4

P. 18 Also, contrary to my uncle’s opinion, my life ~와 반대로 does include managing people. I have to 조동사(강조) 동명사 constantly deal with what my classmates and 관계대명사 teachers say and do. 6

P. 18 Although I would like to unwind from a tiring 접속사: 비록~일지라도 긴장을 풀다 day when I return home, I know there are more 접속사: ~할 때 pressing matters at hand.

P. 18 So when our school announced the “Shadow a 접속사: ~할 때 단언하다 Teen for a Day” event, you can bet I chose my (접속사 that) uncle. When he showed up at school, he didn’t 접속사: ~할 때 seem to know what the day would be like. He 간접의문문 was holding his smartphone in his right hand “just to return a few calls between classes” and a few business papers in his left hand “to read to 부정사: 형용사적 용법 when there’s nothing else to do. ” I could tell he 접속사: ~할 때 to 부정사: 형용사적 용법 had no idea of what my usual day was like, or 간접의문문 what his day would be like! 8

P. 20 At first, my uncle seemed to enjoy being a 처음에 enjoy+동명사 student again. He was beaming throughout my history class. He thumbed through the textbook, 휙휙 넘겨보다 absorbed by some information that he saw there. (정보를) 받아들이다 목적격 관계대명사 But by the end of the second class, math, he became more serious. “I wish I’d paid a little more I wish+ 가정법 과거완료 attention to math when I was in school, ” he said, pay attention: 주의를 기울이다 scratching his head. 분사구문(= as he scratched his head) 9

P. 20 In the third class, Spanish, my uncle’s smile started fading and he scribbled a note to me start+동명사 갈겨쓰다 saying, “I have a terrible headache. How do you 현재분사: ~라고 쓰여 있는 say that in Spanish? ” I tried to hold back a laugh try+to부정사: ~하려고 노력하다 참다 and patted his arm in encouragement. 가볍게 치다, 쓰다듬다 격려 10

P. 20 Finally, it was lunch time and we went to the 마침내 비인칭 주어 cafeteria. My uncle suddenly exclaimed, “Why is 현재분사, 병렬 구조(and로 연결) that girl pointing at me and laughing? Maybe 손가락질하다 she thinks I’m not as smart as I look. ” I pulled (접속사 that) as 형용사 원급 as: 만큼 ~한 him away and said, “Relax, Uncle Bob. She pull 대명사 away: ~를 잡아 당기다 laughs at everybody.

P. 21 Obviously, my uncle was embarrassed at lunch, 분명히 but he was probably even more embarrassed 접속사 비교급 수식 when he returned to class afterwards.

P. 22 At the end of the school day, my uncle admitted 전치사: ~로서 that life as a teen is not as easy as he first 목적절을 이끄는 접속사 as+형용사 원급 +as: ~만큼 ~한 thought. “This has been one of the longest and one of the+최상급+복수 명사: most stressful days I’ve had, ” he commented and (목적격 관계대명사) then asked, “Can I go now? ” 가장 ~한 …들 중 하 나 “Sure, ” I said to him. “Thanks for coming, Uncle ~에 대해 감사하 다 Bob. By the way, don’t forget to do the forget to부정사: ~ 할 것을 잊다 homework you’ve been assigned. ” (목적격 관계대명사) 13

P. 22 My uncle now sees the resemblance between 유사성 my life and his - the stress of having a lot of 소유대명사(=his life) work to do in a short amount of time, and 병렬 구조(the stress of에 연결) having to deal with different types of people throughout the day. Thanks to “Shadow a Teen 덕분에 for a Day, ” my uncle understands that life as a student is no walk in the park. 쉽지 않은 일 목적절을 이끄는 접속사 전치사: ` ~로서 14
