<You'll Be 'Spoiled for Choice' with These Phrases>

Are you good at making decisions? From little things like what to eat for breakfast to big things like whether to start a new job, it can feel like every day is full of nothing but decisions, decisions, decisions!

And while we can't help make those decisions any easier, we can at least give you some phrases you can use to talk about them!

For example, imagine you're going to a movie theater with your friend, and they ask what you want to watch.

If you have a lot of movies to pick from, you can say you're "spoiled for choice." This phrase is used when you have a lot of good options to choose from.

To help you decide among so many movies, you should "weigh your options" — think about all the good points and bad points of each one before deciding which one to watch.

But if the movies are all starting soon, you might need to "make a snap decision" about what to watch. This means to make a decision quickly, without considering it too much.

If there are two movies you want to watch but you can't decide which one, you might feel like you're "torn between" them. If you're "torn between" two things, you're having a difficult time choosing between them.

But if there's one movie both you and your friend have been waiting all year to see, your choice could be a "no-brainer" — it's such an easy decision that you don't even have to use your brain to think about it!

토익의 폐단  (0) 2022.11.06

TOEIC 시험이 오래 전부터 가지고 있었던 문제들

실제로 예전부터 토익은 ETS의 갑질이라며 많은 불만과 개선 필요성이 언급되었던 시험입니다.

시험 유효기간도 지금 대한민국의 취업과 이직가능기간을 고려하면 너무 짧은 수준입니다. 그래서 약 10년간 유효기간을 더 길게 인정해야 한다는 주장과 요청이 많았습니다. 그러나 지금까지 모두 묵살되고 개선은 이루어지지 않고 있습니다.

여전히 토익의 유효기간은 2년이고 해마다 토익 응시료는 상승하고 있는 실정입니다. 현재 토익 접수비용은 48,000원 이며 특별접수비는 52,000 수준입니다. 이러한 사실이 우리 사회에서 당연한 듯 받아들이는 폐습으로 굳혀져 왔습니다. 학생들과 취업준비생, 이직희망자들을 위해 토익은 반드시 개혁되어야 합니다.
