오늘 처음으로 이용학원에 다녀왔어요!
오늘은 정말 가위질만 연습했네요ㅎㅎ
그래도 진지하게 손님 머리 자른다고 생각하고 올바른 가위질을 하기 위해 집중해서 연습했습니다!
이 내용을 영어일기로 정리해봤어요!
마지막으로 이용 및 커트 관련된 영어 단어와 표현들도 같이 정리해봤습니다!

📘 문법 및 표현 교정 + 해설
원문:
I started taking the barber class. Today was the first day and I only practiced the right way to grab and use the barber scissors. I learned the traditional grip when I registered the class but I didn't practiced enough. So I practiced the pose. I practiced the pose in the air for 1 hour and with the news papers for another 1 hour. I don't get used to the pose so I could feel the pain in my hand. I almost had a cramp in my hand. But, I practiced the pose seriously and got engaged in the practice. Even though I only was practicing the pose and cutting the news papers, I kept imaging cutting customers' hair style. I hope that I pass the barber license test with one shoot.
문법/표현 문제점과 해설:
- "the barber class" → "a barber class"
특정 수업이 아닌, 일반적인 수업이므로 관사는 a가 자연스럽습니다. - "didn't practiced" → "didn't practice"
조동사(didn't) 뒤에는 원형 동사만 옵니다. - "practiced the pose" → "practiced the grip/hand position"
영어에서 "pose"는 사진 찍는 포즈나 자세에 가깝습니다. 이 맥락은 "손 잡는 방법"이므로 grip이나 hand position이 더 적절합니다. - "the news papers" → "newspapers"
합성어 newspaper는 한 단어이고 복수형은 newspapers입니다. - "I don't get used to" → "I'm not used to"
습관화되지 않았음을 표현할 때는 be used to ~ing 구조를 씁니다. - "I almost had a cramp" → "I nearly got a cramp"
문법상 문제는 없지만, 원어민들은 got a cramp를 더 많이 씁니다. - "kept imaging" → "kept imagining"
imaging은 "영상화/스캔" 의미. 여기서는 imagining이 맞습니다. - "customers' hair style" → "customers’ hairstyles"
복수 고객이므로 복수 소유격과 복수형 hairstyles 사용이 자연스럽습니다. - "with one shoot" → "with one shot"
"shoot"는 총을 쏘는 행위, 사진 촬영. "한 번에"의 의미는 one shot.
✍ 수정된 영어일기
I started taking a barber class today. It was the first day, and I only practiced the correct way to hold and use barber scissors. I had learned the traditional grip when I registered for the class, but I hadn’t practiced it enough. So I focused on the hand position. I practiced the grip in the air for one hour and with newspapers for another hour. Since I’m not used to the grip, I felt pain in my hand and almost got a cramp. Still, I practiced seriously and stayed engaged in the training. Even though I was only practicing the grip and cutting newspapers, I kept imagining cutting customers’ hairstyles. I hope that I can pass the barber license test in one shot.

✅ 원어민 버전 일기
I recently started a barber class, and today was my very first day. We only worked on the basics—learning the correct way to hold and use barber scissors. I had learned the traditional grip when I first signed up, but I hadn’t practiced it enough, so I dedicated today to mastering the hand position. I spent one hour practicing in the air and another hour cutting newspapers. Since I’m not used to the grip, my hand began to hurt, and I almost got a cramp. Still, I stayed focused and put in serious effort. Even though I was only practicing the grip and cutting paper, I kept imagining real customers sitting in the chair and me styling their hair. Hopefully, I can pass the barber license test on my very first try.
