1
Drag.
2
High price of mom's help is drag on family business.
3
Dear Abby, 20 years ago, my sister and I bought a business from our mother.
4
We all love and respect one another and get along well.
5
We will be finished paying off the business in two years.
6
Our problem.
7
Mom, who is now 77,
8
still draws a salary from us above and beyond the payment for the business.
9
Her workload has lessened greatly, as it should.
10
She could do all of her work in one day and lessen the burden of her salary.
11
However, she says she'd go crazy if she retired.
12
We don't want that.
13
She could still come in as often as she wants and do her personal paperwork,
14
work, banking, letter writing, reading,
15
etc. These are all things she does at work on the clock.
16
If we try to discuss this, mom gets hurt and says,
17
just let me know when I'm not worth the money.
18
We don't want to do that.
19
We would hope she would see the fairness of this and suggest it herself.
20
Business expenses are going through the roof, and there are updates we should make.
21
But we can't do it as long as we are paying mom at the level we are,
22
on top of the money for the buyout.
23
Signed, Daughter's Dearest.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
