WEEK 3- What I learned

I just wanted to summarize what I learned from class for Week3 :D
If i made some mistakes(grammatical error, using inappropriate expression and so on),plz let me know or correct it :)



1)The difference between say/tell, speak/talk
   Say/Tell
   SAY: say something. A word or words have to come out through your mouth.
   TELL: If you tell someone something, you give them information.

    For example 'Say a story': You have to repeat verbally 'a story'
                    'Tell a story': tell your story to someone
 
    Speak/Talk
    SPEAK: It can be one-sided communication.
    Talk: Communicate together

    For example 'Can I talk to you for a minute?'-Let's talk together.
                     'Can I speak to you for a minute'-It can be the situation like this
                                                               : I'll tell something to you. Plz listen.

2)The words I learned from English Central Videos
  - empower: If someone is empowered to do something, they have the authority or
                 power to do it.
                To give someone ability
                EX-The new president wants to empower everyone.

  - inherit: To receive property or money after someone dies.
              EX-The prince will inherit the kingdom after his father passes away

  -shattered: to damage or destroy (산산조각 나다)
                 EX-All of the glass ceilings that have yet to be shattered
 
  -twisted: to change the meaning of something(사실따위를 왜곡하다)
              EX-He thinks differently from each other because he's got a twisted mind.

  -Butterflies: a nervous feeling in a person's stomach
               EX- He gets butterflies whenever he talks to a pretty girl



Revised Week 2 blog- Interesting Video

Hello!!
I forgot that I also had to include discussion point in this blog.
So I revised and upload again:)

Tyler Oakley: Crashing a Homecoming

<Video Description>
Nowadays I'm really into watching famous youtuber's videos to study English and for fun at the same time.
Tyler oakley is one of the most famous youtubers.
At first, He uploaded his daily blog which shows what he did.
As time goes by, He was getting so famous and now he is often invited to many famous events as a host.
Also In this video, He is telling us what happened on his homecoming party invitation.
In there, he was invited to one company's homecoming party and met a singer
'Charlie xcx' and interviewed her doing a little game.
The good thing about watching his video is He upload his video with subtitle.
So even though I missed some his words, I could get what he said and could find the words on dictionary.
and  He is a American and It is his daily blog, I could get to know about American culture and what is trend in the United States.
Like, I could know what is homecoming day from this video.


<Words & Expression I learned>
1)Homecoming: I think Homecoming is kinda similar to Korean's 동창회.
                  But not exactly same, different thing is usually korean hold 동창회
                  to meet our old elementary, middle, high school friends also for
                  university friends.
                  However, for Americans, it has more wide meaning even can be
                  worked to someone who came back to their hometown and they do  some sports
                  games on this event.

2)They completely decked out this homecoming and set up a red carpet.
                          =decorate

3)I crushed you by three points
     =defeat

4)There are so many boys that I'm like, thirsty for.
   It's hard to narrow it down
                        =reduce the number


<Discussion Point>
-Do you have any youtuber who you like? If so, Pleas let me know :)
-Have you ever experienced Homecoming ?
