[ebs 입트영] '산' 관련 영어 표현 ; Mt. Halla(한라산)

우리나라에서 가장 높은 산으로 알려져 있는 제주에 있는 한라산~ ^.^

제주 여행은 몇 번 가봤지만, 한라산 등반은 아직 해보지 못했네요.

요즘엔 해가 길어져서 동네 산들을 오르내리고 있어요.

옛날에는 등산이 죽도록 싫었는데... 이제는 왜 사람들이 주말마다 등산을 하는지 조금이나마 이해할 수 있게 되었어요.

다음에 제주도 여행을 여유 있게 가게 된다면, 한라산 등반도 꼭 해보고 싶어요!

ebs 입이 트이는 영어와 "산" 관련 영어 표현 공부해보고, 스터디 질문에도 답해 보았어요.

[Study Group Questions]

 

 

1. Describe a famous tourist destination that you would like to recommend in Korea.

 

I think many foreigners might visit Seoul for their first day in Korea.

In Seoul, they can enjoy both of city life and nature at the same time.

Korea has over 70% of its area with mountains, and even in the capital city in Seoul, whether it's low or high, we have quite many mountains around.

I would like to recommend tourists visiting Gangnam area to enjoy city life first in the morning, and then they can go hiking to Acha mountain.

Acha mountain is very unique, I think, because it is located in the middle of Seoul, and of course its hiking courses are for beginners, taking only three or four hours for round trips.

When they walk up to the top of the mountain, they can see many buildings and Han river as well.

It is a good way to relax themselves in nature in the city.

 

 

2. Have you ever been to Mt. Halla? Describe your experience.

 

I have never been to Mt. Halla so far, though I have visited Jeju island for many times.

I have rather been to Seongsan Ilchulbong for several times, but It was all foggy... ㅠㅠ

I didn't like go hiking in the past, becuase it was just too hard to breathe!

But now, I like going to mountains and hiking, and I have realized all those steps are parts of journey.

Last Sunday, I met one of my old friends and went hiking to near by mountain.

It took almost four hours to walk up and down, and it was also very hot!

We couldn't go all the way to the top, just satisfied with the middle of the mountain.

It was still nice to be there and I think I will like mountains more than before.

 

 

3. Why do you think Jeju Island is such a popular tourist destination?

 

I think that is because of its beautiful nature and good accessibility from Seoul by flight.

It just takes less than a hour from Seoul to Jeju by flight and the transportation in Jeju is not very uncomfortable.

They can rent a car very easily and the roads are not that crowed to drive.

In Jeju island, there are so many famous restaurants, pretty cafes and good spots for taking pictures.

They also try lots of activities such as hiking, kayaking, or what's more.

The island is kind of small, which I think is also one of the reason many tourists like the island.

With a car or scooter, they can drive all around Jeju island within a day.
