영어 일기를 안 쓴지 꽤 오래 되었습니다.
아마 제가 중국어로 먼저 쓰는 버릇때문인 것 같습니다.
저는 중국어가 영어보다 부담이 덜 하기 때문에 중국어로 먼저 쓰곤 합니다.
그래서 중국어로 쓰고 나면, 곧이어 영어로 쓰는것이 쉽지 않게 느껴집니다.
왜냐하면 영어는 중국어보다 쉽고 간단한 어휘로 쓰고 싶어지기 때문입니다.
게다가 요즘은 중국어로 녹음도 해 보고 싶어져서, 이전보다 시간이 더 많이 걸립니다.
결과적으로, 요즘 영어 일기를 쓰지 못했습니다.
그러나,아무래도 중국어뿐만 아니라 영어일기도 함께 쓰는 게 좋겠다고 느낍니다.
안녕히 주무세요. 밤이 늦었습니다.
