Social media is becoming addicting. Research shows that most people spend on average almost 4 hours a day on social networking sites. That's almost 30 hours a week. While some people use social media for work or to stay in touch with friends, other people find that using social media so much causes anxiety and stress. So, just as many religions ask people to abstain, or not to have certain foods or drinks for a certain time, many people are taking social media fasts. They are not updating their statuses, and they are also not reading what other people are posting. They choose to stay away from social media for 30 days.

소셜 미디어가 중독되고 있다. 연구는 대부분의 사람들이 소셜 네트워킹 사이트에서 하루에 평균적으로 거의 4시간을 보낸다는 것을 보여준다. 일주일에 거의 30시간입니다. 어떤 사람들은 일을 위해 또는 친구들과 연락을 유지하기 위해 소셜 미디어를 사용하는 반면, 다른 사람들은 소셜 미디어를 너무 많이 사용하는 것이 불안과 스트레스를 유발한다는 것을 발견한다. 그래서, 많은 종교들이 사람들에게 금욕을 요구하거나, 특정한 음식이나 음료를 일정 시간 동안 먹지 말라고 요구하는 것처럼, 많은 사람들은 소셜 미디어를 그만두고 있다. 그들은 자신의 상태를 업데이트하지 않고 있으며, 다른 사람들이 게시하는 것을 읽지도 않고 있다. 그들은 30일 동안 소셜 미디어를 멀리하기로 선택한다.

The cold is a viral infectious disease that primarily affects the nose and the respiratory tract. It is the most frequent infectious disease in humans. The average adult gets two to four colds a year, while the average child may get six to eight. They occur commonly during the winter. Signs and symptoms include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, and fever. People usually recover in seven to ten days. Some symptoms may last up to three weeks. No specific cure or vaccine for the common cold exists, but the symptoms can be treated. The primary methods of prevention are the following: handwashing, not touching the eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands, staying away from other sick people, etc.

Addiction is a type of brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite unfavorable consequences. As described by researchers, addiction causes an "extremely huge financial and human toll" on individuals and society. Classic symptoms of addiction include loss of productivity, impaired control over behavior, and obsessive use of substances. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by short-term gratification and long-term costs. Examples of addictions include alcoholism, drug addiction, food addiction, gambling addiction, etc. Research evidence indicates that cognitive-behavioral therapy and consistent aerobic exercise and endurance exercise such as marathon running, prevent certain types of addictions.

우연히 유튜브 채널 '천재이승국' 에서 그가 AI 챗봇을 사용해본 후기를 보게됐다. 보자마자 바로 검색해서 사용해봤는데 네이버에 "ChatGPT"라고 검색하면 바로 상단에 뜬다. 회원가입은 기존 구글 계정으로 빠르게 하고 로긴 후 무료로 사용할 수 있는데 (무료라는게 진짜 대박인 부분) 왜냐하면 시중에 영어를 첨삭해주는 어플들 중에 실제로 유료 결제를 해야만 사용할 수 있는 어플리케이션이 많기 때문에, 심지어 유료 결제로 사용해도 뭔가 썩 퀄리티가 석연치 않은 부분이 많다. 근데 이 챗봇은 무료인데 언어 전문 챗봇이다보니 상상 이상으로 엄청난 퀄리티를 자랑한다.

https://youtu.be/f4U1FCJJjpQ

 



실제로 어떤 퀄리티인지 캡쳐본을 올려보겠다. 나는 처음에 내가 만든 영어 문장을 첨삭 해줄 수 있겠느냐고 물어보았다.





Me - "와, 좋은 조언이야. 고마워. 그리고 내가 만든 영어문장이 있는데, 이거 확인하고 고쳐줄 수 있어?"

AI - "물론, 내가 너의 영어 문장을 도와줄 수 있어서 기뻐. 내게 보여죠. 최선을 다해서 피드백하고 더 나은걸 제시해줄게."

Me - "응 이건 사실 내가 어떤 그림을 보고 묘사한 것들인데, 안타깝지만 너에게 그림을 보여줄 순 없어. 그치만 내가 말해줄 수 있는건 이 문장들은 현재 시제를 기반으로 하고있고 몇몇은 과거 시제야. 이해했어?"

AI - "응 이해했어. 너는 현재시제와 과거 시제를 기반으로 묘사했다고. 너가 문장을 공유해준다면 문법의 정확도에 대해 최선을 다해 확인해줄게. 그리고 가능하면 나은 것들을 제시할게."

Me - "좋아. 첫번째 문장은 "그녀는 지하철 의자에 앉아서 책을 읽고있다. 그리고 한 남자는 그녀의 옆에 앉아 있고 피곤해 보인다. 왜냐하면 그는 자고있기 때문이다. 그러나 그들은 평화롭고 편안해 보인다." 이 문장에 혹시 문제가 있니? 문법적으로 말이야."



이런식으로 첫번째부터 여섯번째까지 내가 만든 영어 문장을 첨삭 받았는데 아래는 네번째 문장에 대한 첨삭 내용이다. 한눈에 봐도 굉장히 섬세하고 디테일하게, 고퀄리티로 첨삭을 도와주는데 정말로 이건 대박.. 평소에 첨삭이 필요할 때 마다 주로 "lang8"이라는 사이트에서 실제 원어민들에게 첨삭을 받아오곤 했는데, 언제 답장이 올라올지 정확히 알 수 없다는 단점이 있긴 하나 그래도 내가 가장 유용하게 쓰는 사이트였다. (그래도 꽤나 빠른 시일 내로 누군가가 첨삭을 해줌) 무튼 lang8도 정말로 유용하고 좋은 사이트인건 분명하지만 이 AI 챗봇은 정말로 생각했던 것 이상이라서 영어 학습자에게 더할나위 없이 좋은 부분이라고 생각한다. 영작문을 교정하는 부분에 있어서 즉시 즉답을 받을 수 있으니까. 아래는 lang8 사이트이다.
https://lang-8.com/

여러가지 언어를 배우고 교환하는 곳 Lang-8

Lang-8 is the best place for learning and practicing foreign languages. Post an entry in the language you are learning, then a native speaker will correct your entries. Currently there are more than 80 languages available on Lang-8.

lang-8.com

 



사용해본 결과, 잘못된 전치사의 사용도 바로 잡아주고 꽤나 디테일하게 문법을 교정해주고 있다. 심지어 문법적으로 오류가 없더라고 다소 어색한 문장이라 판단되면 훨씬 자연스러운 표현 방법까지 제시해준다. 이거는 정말로 언어학습자에게는 엄청난 발견이 아닐 수가 없는.......



어쨌거나 이 글은 챗봇에 대한 후기이기도 하지만 나의 학습 정리가 목적이기도해서 이 챗봇에게 첨삭 받은 내용 그대로 정리를 해보려고 한다.

1. First sentence.

Okay good, first sentence is "She is sitting on the subway chair, and reading a book. And a man is sitting next to her and he looks tired. Because he is sleeping. But they looks peaceful and comfortable." Is this sentence has any wrong? I mean grammer problem.
 
 

This sentence is mostly grammatically correct, although there are a few minor errors and awkward phrasing. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"She is sitting in a subway chair and reading a book. A man is seated next to her, appearing tired as he dozes off. Despite that, both of them look peaceful and comfortable."

A couple of points to note:

  • "On the subway chair" has been changed to "in a subway chair" as "on" is usually used when someone is standing on a surface, while "in" is used when someone is seated inside a space.
  • "And he looks tired" has been changed to "appearing tired" for smoother phrasing.
  • "Because he is sleeping" has been changed to "as he dozes off" for more descriptive language.

 

 

2. Second sentence.

 
and second sentence is "At that time, she found a bag which looks like someone left. And it also looks like brief case. I think someone left it on their way to work." Is there something wrong?
 
 

The sentence is grammatically correct, but it could be phrased more clearly and concisely. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"She discovered a bag that appeared to have been left behind. It looked like a briefcase. She surmised that someone had forgotten it on their way to work."

A few points to note:

  • "At that time" has been omitted for more concise phrasing.
  • "Which looks like someone left" has been changed to "that appeared to have been left behind" for more descriptive language.
  • "I think someone left it on their way to work" has been changed to "She surmised that someone had forgotten it on their way to work" for clearer phrasing.
 
 
 

3. Third sentence.

This is third sentence "She opened the bag and trying to find a identification. And she got some information about the owner of the bag. And she is looking at the identification card carefully."
 
 

This sentence is grammatically correct, but it could benefit from some refinement for clearer and more concise phrasing. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"She opened the bag and searched for identification. She found some information about the owner and scrutinized the identification card carefully."

A few points to note:

  • "And trying to find a identification" has been changed to "and searched for identification" for clearer phrasing.
  • "And she got some information about the owner of the bag" has been changed to "She found some information about the owner" for more concise phrasing.
  • "And she is looking at the identification card carefully" has been changed to "She scrutinized the identification card carefully" for more descriptive language.

 

 

4. Fourth sentence.

 
This is fourth sentence. "She imagines that the owner of the bag is handsome. And she is calling him to inform she's got his bag. Maybe they are discussing about where they'll meet. And her face looks so full of expectation."
 

This sentence is grammatically correct, but it could benefit from some refinement for clearer and more concise phrasing. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"She envisioned the owner of the bag as handsome. She called him to inform him that she had found his bag, and they may have been arranging a meeting place. Her face was filled with anticipation."

A few points to note:

  • "She imagines that the owner of the bag is handsome" has been changed to "She envisioned the owner of the bag as handsome" for more descriptive language.
  • "And she is calling him to inform she's got his bag" has been changed to "She called him to inform him that she had found his bag" for clearer phrasing.
  • "Maybe they are discussing about where they'll meet" has been changed to "They may have been arranging a meeting place" for clearer phrasing.
  • "And her face looks so full of expectation" has been changed to "Her face was filled with anticipation" for more descriptive language.

 

 

5. Fifth sentence.

 
This is fifth. "She is waiting him at the meeting place in advance. And she looks absolutely full of expectations about his first impression. Maybe she is thinking that a nice, handsome guy will come."
 

 

This sentence has some grammatical errors, and could benefit from some refinement for clearer and more concise phrasing. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"She arrived early at the meeting place, brimming with anticipation about the owner's first impression. Perhaps she was imagining that a kind, handsome man would come."

A few points to note:

  • "She is waiting him at the meeting place in advance" has been changed to "She arrived early at the meeting place" for clearer phrasing.
  • "And she looks absolutely full of expectations about his first impression" has been changed to "She was brimming with anticipation about the owner's first impression" for more descriptive language.
  • "Maybe she is thinking that a nice, handsome guy will come" has been changed to "Perhaps she was imagining that a kind, handsome man would come" for more descriptive language.

 

 

6. The final sentence.

 
This is final sentence. "But the man who appeared at the meeting place is not handsome guy. He looks so fat and more older than his picture. Besides, even he looks he didn't shave at all. And she is really disappointed about his appearance that she didn't expect."
 

 

This sentence has some grammatical errors, and could benefit from some refinement for clearer and more concise phrasing. Here's a revised version with suggested improvements:

"However, the man who arrived at the meeting place was not the handsome guy she imagined. He was overweight, older than his photo, and appeared unkempt, with unshaven facial hair. She was greatly disappointed by his appearance, as it was not what she had expected."

A few points to note:

  • "But the man who appeared at the meeting place is not handsome guy" has been changed to "However, the man who arrived at the meeting place was not the handsome guy she imagined" for clearer phrasing.
  • "He looks so fat and more older than his picture" has been changed to "He was overweight, older than his photo" for clearer and more concise phrasing.
  • "Besides, even he looks he didn't shave at all" has been changed to "and appeared unkempt, with unshaven facial hair" for clearer and more descriptive language.
  • "And she is really disappointed about his appearance that she didn't expect" has been changed to "She was greatly disappointed by his appearance, as it was not what she had expected" for clearer phrasing.

Filmmaking is the process of making and producing a film. Filmmaking involves a number of separate stages including an initial story, scriptwriting, casting, shooting, editing, and screening. The screening process can also have a preparatory procedure, which is screening the finished product before an audience that would result in the actual film release and exhibition. Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts, and uses a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, filmmaking involves a large number of people and can take from a few months to several years to complete.
