[EBS입트영 7/1 Mon] My 70-year-old Mom / 70세 생신을 맞이하는 엄마

1 Mon. 

My 70-year-old Mom / 70세 생신을 맞이하는 엄마

 

September 26th by the lunar calendar is my mom's 70th birthday.

This year, it falls on November 9th in the solar calendar.

My 70-year-old mom starts her day by listening to EBS radio at 6 a.m.

She has been doing this for over three years now. 

 

With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic limiting outdoor activities, she seemed to fall into a funk. 

I wondered what I could do to help.

Then I remembered her saying that she was good in English back in school.

So, I started buying her EBS English program books every month.

Since then, she has been keeping herself busy by studying English every day without fail.

 

With her newfound confidence in English, my mom is planning a trip overseas with her two close friends.

She will be traveling independently, rather than a package tour.

She is showing by example that there is no end to learning.
