ChatGPT로 영어회화 연습을 (1) book, musical show, TOEFL

친구와 일주일에 한번 한시간 쯤 줌으로 영어로 대화한다. 사실 영어는 끊임없이 말할 줄 아는게 핵심이다. 그러려면 말할거리가 많고 자신을 오픈하는 태도가 필요하다.
친구는 원래부터 영어를 자신감있게 하던 친구고 이야기를 재밌게 하는 능력이 있다. 함께 대화하면 소재가 떨어지지 않아 즐거운데, 영어로 해도 마찬가지였다.
원래는 영어회화 강좌에서 받았던 핸드아웃(다양한 주제의 여러 질문들이 있다)을 다시 보면서 대화했는데, 그것도 다 떨어져서 방법을 고민하다가 Chat GPT에 물어봤다.
