놓치거나 충분히 조사하지 않는 등 무시할 수 있으며

1. Discuss the questions with a partner.
- Would you like to live in a care home when you are old? Why/ Why not?
- In your notebook, make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of
care homes.
eg. You always have company(당신은 항상 동반자가 있음). (advantage)
You don't live with your family(가족하고 같이 살지 않음). (disadvantage)
Advantages
- around the clock supervision, expert on-site medical care, and
individualized help with daily needs.
(24시간 연속의 관리, 전문가 현장의 의료, 각 개인이 매일 필요할때 도움)
- Elderly people often need a more structured environment
as they grow older.
그들은 나이가 증가함에 따라 노인들은 더 구조화 된 환경이 필요합니다.
This is especially true if they are mentally or physically disabled
because it helps them lead a more normal and happy life.
(왜냐하면 노인들이 정신적으로나 육체적으로 약할 때 구조화
된 환경이 그들을 더 행복한 삶으로 이끌 수 있기 때문입니다.)
Furthermore, elderly people also tend to be more distracted by
changes to their environment.
(게다가, 노인들은 환경적인 변화로 인해 더욱 산만해지는 경향이 있습니다.)
That's why they try to set up a daily schedule that helps their
residents lead a normal life.
(그렇기 때문에 요양원은 노인들을 일상 생활을 할 수 있도록 돕는
스케줄을 짜기 위해 노력합니다.)
This structured schedule includes set meal time,
scheduled activity times and other repetitive activities.
(구조화된 스케줄은 정해진 식사 시간, 활동시간, 다른 반복적인
활동들의 시간 설정을 포함합니다.)
- allows chance to remain as independent as possible
so that the elderly can still do most of the things they enjoy
doing to the fullest.
(요양원은 가능한 거주자들이 독립적으로, 스스로 활동
하도록 허락합니다. 노인들이 여전히 대부분 그들이 활동 했던
것들을 할 수 있습니다.)
- Many of us have elderly loved ones that need more help than
what we can provide by ourselves.
(노인들은 우리가 제공하는 것보다 더 많은 도움이 필요합니다.)
This is true because many of us have jobs and other responsibilities
that make it difficult for people to take care of an elderly loved one
who needs help with daily activities.
(우리 중 많은 사람들이 일자리와 다른 책임을 가지고 있기 때문에
노인들이 일상생활을 할 수 있도록 돕는 것은 어려운 것이 사실입니다.)
As a result, retirement homes also provide several care options
for families who need extra help helping their elderly loved ones.
(그 결과, 요양원은 또한 노인들을 돕기 위한 가족들을 위해 몇가지
옵션을 제공합니다.)
These benefits can make a huge difference for the elderly person
to enjoy their lives more.
(이러한 혜택은 노인들이 그들의 삶을 더 즐길 수 있도록 큰 차이를
만듭니다.)
Disadvantage
- Paying for a retirement home's services can be difficult for
many people because most insurance policies and
Medical coverage plans generally deny covering
the cost of living in a retirement home (high monthly fees).
(많은 사람들에게 요양원 비용을 지불하는 것은 어려울 수
있습니다. 왜냐하면 대부분의 보험정책과 의료보험 계획은
일반적으로 요양원 비용을 커버하지 않기 때문입니다.)
- Many elderly people and their families have problems finding
retirement homes that provide top quality care because
many retirement homes have difficulty finding qualified staff
who can work with elderly people.
(많은 노인들과 그들의 가족들은 최상의 질을 제공하는 요양원을
찾는데 어려움을 겪습니다. 왜냐하면 많은 요양원들이 노인들을
돌보는 데 자질을 갖춘 직원들을 구하기 힘들기 때문입니다.)
Besides, it's hard to find the staff members who are willing
to work with client's families to resolve concerns and answer
consumer's questions about their services. These problems
can make it very frustrating.
(게다가, 노인의 가족들에게 요양원의 서비스에 대한 질문에
답변을 하고 그들의 걱정을 해결하는 일을 해야하는 직원들을
찾기가 어렵습니다.)
- Many people also forget that some elderly people have trouble
living in a retirement home.
(또한 많은 사람들은 노인들이 요양원에서 사는데 어려움을
겪는다는 것을 잊습니다.)
For example, some elderly people are so independent that
they have a hard time accepting help from others.
(예를 들어, 몇몇 노인들은 너무 독립적이어서 그들을 돕기 위한
구조화된 시간을 받아들이기 힘들어 합니다.)
Others have hard time getting along with certain staff members
because of personality differences.
(또 몇몇 노인들은 성격의 차이로 인해 특정 직원들과 어울리는
것을 힘들어 합니다.)
These problems make it hard for them to live in some
living situations.
(이러한 문제들은 노인들을 같이 살아야 하는 환경에서 사는 것을
힘들게 합니다.)

3. Listen again and tick the things that Edith mentions.

She should call me ‘Mrs Taylor’, thank you very much!
그 여자는 나한테 '테일러씨' 라고 해야해.

E Bingo? I’m not interested in playing bingo with a group of old ladies!
빙고게임? 늙은 아주머니들이랑 빙고할 마음 없어!
It’s not very stimulating, is it!
하나도 재미없어, 그렇잖아!
They’re all so slow because they’ve got nothing to keep their minds busy,
and their medication slows them up some more.

더 느려지더라고.
They just sit in front of the television all day.
다들 그냥 하루종일 TV앞에만 앉아있어.

그건 그렇지만 요리도 다 해야되고 빨래도 다 해야되잖아.
I like this care home. It’s clean.
난 이 요양원이 마음에 들어. 깨끗하고.
The staff are very professional, and it’s nice to know there’s someone near
in an emergency. And there’s always someone to talk to. I’m never lonely.

Vocabulary
neuron - a type of cell that receives and sends electrical messages between the brain and the body. (신경 단위)
1. Write your name as fast as you can with your right hand, then do the same with your left hand.
Was one easier? Does it look better? Discuss the reason why with a partner.
Reading
Old age and the brain 노령 과 뇌
If you hold a pen in your 'wrong' hand, writing becomes uncomfortable and
difficult. But keep doing it and you will get better at it - you learn.
This is because connections between neurons in your brain get stronger,
and your brain grows.
펜을 잘못된 손에 들고 있다면, 쓰기가 불편하고 어렵게 된다. 하지만 그렇게
계속하다보면 잘 쓸수 있게 된다. 배우는 것이다. 이것은 뇌의 뉴론들의 연결이
강해지고 뇌가 성장하기 때문이다.
In our early years our brain grow very fast as we learn language, writing, numbers,
music, and how to coordinate movement. By the time we are teenagers,
each neuron in our brain has connected to tens of thousands of other neurons,
and every time we have a new thought or memory, our brains make new connections.
Just as muscles get stronger by using them, the brain develops when it is stimulated. Without stimulation, it gradually dies.
우리는 어릴때 언어, 쓰기, 숫자, 음악을 배우고 어떻게 움직임을 조정하는가를
배우면서 우리의 뇌는 굉장히 빨리 성장한다. 청소년기가 될때 뇌에 있는 각각의
뉴론은 수천 수만개의 다른 뉴론과 연결 되고 매번 우리가 새로운 생각 또는 기억을
할때마다 우리의 뇌는 새로운 연결을 만든다. 근육을 사용하므로써 강해지는 것 처럼
뇌도 자극이 될때 발전한다. 자극이 없이는 뇌는 점차적으로 죽게된다.
A healthy brain does not lose huge number of brain cells as it ages. It continues to rewire itself and grow new neurons. However, degenerative brain diseases are very common in old age, and so we associate ageing with diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
건강한 뇌는 나이가 들면서 거대한 숫자의 뇌 세포를 잃지는 않는다. 계속 자가복원을
하며 새로운 뇌세포들을 성장시킨다. 하지만, 퇴행성 뇌 질환들은 노인연령에 매우
흔하고 그래서 알즈하이머 같은 질병에 연루된다.
Even though these disease are very common in the elderly, it is a mistake to think
that old age automatically equals mental decline. When elderly people who do not
have Alzheimer's disease suffer age-related loses of memory and motor skills,
it is often not because of ageing, but because of inactivity and lack of mental stimulation.
노인들에게 이러한 질병들이 매우 흔할지라도, 노령이 자동적으로 정신쇠퇴 라고
생각하는것은 실수다. 알즈하이머를 앓지않는 노인들이 노령과 연관된 기억력과
운동기능의 상실로 고통받을때 종종 그것은 노화때문이 아니고 활동부족과 정신적
자극의 결여 때문이다.

그래요, 다음은 배뇨에 관한건데, 어머니가 소변을 옷에 싸신적이 있나요?

a bedpan and she can’t get to the bathroom. We have to make sure
she has an incontinence pad.
네, 자주 있어요. 아마도 어머닌 화장실에 갈수가 없고 배드팬 사용은 싫어하셔서
그런거 같아요.

the kitchen. She didn’t know where she was. We laughed about it afterwards.
네, 가끔 있어요, 어떤때 어머니는 저를 자기 동생이라고 생각해요. 지난 밤에는
