갑자기 불안해졌다.

나만 뒤떨어져버린 것 같았다.

발전이 멈춰버린 느낌이 들었다.

논리적으로 따지면 사실이 아닌데 느낌에 압도될 때가 있다.

그래서 그 불안을 해소할 방법으로 찾은 것은 영어였다. 

목전에 둔 것에 집중하기로 마음먹었다.

I suddenly feft nervous.

I suddenly became anxious.

All of sudden, a wave of anxiety washed over me.

 

I felt like I was left behind.

I felt as if I had fallen behind everyone else.

It felt as though I had been left behind while others kept moving forward.

 

I felt like I stopped improving.

I felt as though my growth had come to a halt.

It seemed as if my personal progress had reached a standstill.

 

Sometiles, I get overwhelmed by feelings even when I know they aren't true.

Even though it's not true logically, I sometimes get carried away by my emotions.

Though my reason tells me otherwise, there are times when emotions overpower logic.

 

So I tried to ease my anxiety by learning English.

So I found learning English as a way to calm my anxiety.

Thus, I turned to English as a means of soothing my unease.

 

I decided to focus on what's right in front of me.

I made up my mind to stay focused on what lies ahead.

I resolved to center my attention on the task immediately before me.
