Exercise 4

*I want to express my thoughts in an organized manner.

If you're someone who wants real English speaking skills, not just English test scores, you'll realize that the ultimate purpose of studying English lies in being able to express your thoughts coherently.
Even if you've been watching American TV for 10 years, if you can't express your thoughts clearly, you can't say you've become good at English.
This book excludes sentence structures and vocabulary that are too difficult for Koreans to remember, and introduces useful expressions that will help you express your thoughts on 39 topics across four categories: economy, politics/diplomacy, society, and culture/science.

*Don't think English debate is difficult.

There's no need to think of English debate as difficult.
Everyone has their own opinions about the complex world we live in, and ultimately, English debate is about organizing your thoughts and speaking them in English.
This book covers 39 topics with sharply conflicting viewpoints, but presents a variety of opinions without being biased towards either left or right, conservative or progressive.

*Let's speak English with confidence and substance, even in Korea.

Many people believe that the limitations of their English skills stem from the fact that they are a domestic student.
Whether it's true or not, if you feel limited as a domestic speaker, the key to overcoming those limitations lies not in fancy pronunciation, but in 'English with substance.'
When I use English that conveys deep thoughts accurately, people listen to me and value my intellectual abilities.
That's why I always emphasize, "Domestic students should also have confidence and speak meaningful English."
I am confident that this book will be of great help in achieving the two goals of 'confidence' and 'English with substance'.

*If you feel frustrated because your English expressions are limited and you are always saying the same thing, the solution is paraphrasing.

Paraphrasing is a technique for expressing the same meaning in different sentences.
The "Same Idea, Different Expressions" series aims to help people learn a variety of expressions through "paraphrasing."
Many people who have reached the intermediate level feel frustrated by their limited English expressions and the fact that they are always saying the same thing.
For those of us who already have Korean as our native language, there's no magic bullet for becoming fluent in English other than constantly pairing Korean expressions with their English counterparts in our heads.
The key is how many different English expressions you can pair.
People who have one English alternative to their native language and those who have several are bound to differ in their fluency and richness of expression.
The series “Same Thought, Different Expressions” was created for just such “pairing.”

*A series that shows the identity of Practicus

Meanwhile, Practicus Publishing has been introducing useful English expressions to intermediate and higher level readers through series such as “I Want to Speak More English” and “Manager Kim’s English Diary.”
The first book in the new series, "Same Idea, Different Expressions," has already been published, and following the "English Discussion" book, the "English for the Workplace" book is scheduled to be published.
We hope you'll improve your English speaking skills in a short period of time through "paraphrasing," which is emphasized in "Same Idea, Different Expressions."

*Improve your learning effectiveness by using free YouTube lectures.

The author himself explains 150 must-remember conversations out of a total of 176 conversations on YouTube.
In addition to this book's commentary, you can find a variety of intermediate-level practical English content on Practicus' YouTube channel.
