요즘 시험 기간이라 그래요. 오늘은 논술 문제를 하나씩 쓰면서 서로 시간을 재 주기로 했죠? 시간 제한이 있으면 글 쓰는 방식이 완전히 달라지거든요.
It's exam season. We said we'd each write one essay question today and time each other, right? With a time limit, the way you write changes completely.

저는 시간이 촉박하면 머리가 하얘져요. 일필휘지로 한 번에 써 내려가고 싶은데, 막상 원고지 앞에 앉으면 도입부터 막혀요.
My mind goes blank when time is tight. I'd like to write it all in one sweep, but once I sit down in front of the manuscript paper, I get stuck at the introduction.
