The most active reading method, transcription

Although copying (copying someone else's writing) may seem like a simple act, reading before copying is different from regular reading.
Transcription requires a more thorough reading of sentences, and in the process of accurately transcribing every single letter, sentence structures and meanings that would normally go unnoticed are revealed.
In this way, transcription becomes a cognitive activity that goes beyond a simple movement, combining the act of reading (holding it in the head) that enters the brain through the eyes and the act of writing it on paper with the movement of the hand (moving the hand and engraving it in the head).
By going through this process, the English words, expressions, and sentences I memorize are likely to be remembered with a much higher density.
Transcription is the most active reading method, as it involves reading carefully by hand.

Awakening the Sense of English with Today's Anglo-American Novels

Anyone who likes English dreams of reading the original text at least once.
However, you don't necessarily have to read a book from beginning to end.
If you can feel the atmosphere and meaning of a work with just one sentence, that in itself is a meaningful experience.


English expert Seok-Tae Oh has carefully selected 113 excerpts from today's English-American novels, allowing you to encounter 113 original books.
If classical literature felt burdensome due to its historical distance, today's Anglo-American novels are more approachable and vivid, containing the language and concerns of our time.

How to Enjoy the Beauty of English: Copying Good Sentences

The author's choice of words to complete a sentence is sharp and delicate.
The deep and rich expressive power of the novel resonates deeply with life.
English transcription is more than just reading the original text; it is a process of experiencing the true flavor of English.
Trying out the words that writers have carefully chosen makes my English more natural and fluent.
In the process, quality words, expressions, and sentences will remain in your head for a long time.
Even if your goal isn't necessarily to improve your English skills, your sense and understanding of English will deepen.
Expressions from novelists you'd want to emulate, sentences that would imitate even native speakers, everyday language sensitively selected by the author—feel the quiet joy of accomplishment through the English, all-too-English expressions contained in this book.
