영어뉴스 공부하기: Students raise funds to make playground inclusive for those with disabilities

# 영어 말문트기의 일환으로 영어뉴스를 같이 공부해 보는 시간입니다.

# 해당 내용은 오성호 선생님의 영어강의를 바탕으로 합니다. 개인 공부차원에서 기록하고 혹시나 개중 표현이 도움이 되었으면 하는 마음으로 포스팅합니다.

# There are few things in this world more powerful than a child with a dream, and in this week's "on the road," CBS' Steve Hartman shows us how a group of Minnesota school kids used their dream to help their fellow classmates. At Glen Lake Elementary, in Hopkins, Minnesota, recess is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, there's so much to do, but on the other hand, not everyone can do it.

# It just didn't seem fair that some kids were just left out. / It's really sad to see other kids go through that. / They didn't look happy and recess is about having fun. Glen Lake has a lot of students with physical disabilities, but no wheelchair merry-go-round, swings, or any adaptive playground equipment whatsoever, which really bothered the kids in Betsy Julien's fifth grade class, to the point where one day they asked her, "Why can't we just buy the equipment ourselves?" I said, “Do you know how much that costs? Costs a lot of money! $300,000.”

# $300,000, by her estimation. But the kids were undeterred. They started collecting spare change, then held a bake sale, printed fliers, and went door to door. Then, they began cold-calling businesses, and even got restaurants to donate a portion of their profits. This went on for months, until last week when they hit their goal. 

 

* deter = prevent 방해 / 막다

* fliers : 전단지

* 앞의 내용을 받을 때는 This를 사용함. 앞의 명사를 받을 때는 It을 사용.

# We were all very happy on the inside, and on the outside. / The smile on my face, I could say, was an ear-to-ear smile. / I was just really happy that we made it. Rhys Riley says they worked so hard. It was overwhelming to finally know a more inclusive playground would be coming. And as for the kids who will benefit, they seem to appreciate the effort almost more than the result. First time I set foot on this playground, I'm probably going to start crying. from seeing the effort that all the school has made. Mrs. Julien couldn't agree more. My future as an adult is bright, knowing that this generation of students, of change-makers, see something that needs fixing, and they go for it head first.

# Head first and dive deep. After raising the $300,000, Mrs. Julen's class set a new goal -- to the ceiling and beyond. They now hope to buy adaptive playground equipment for other schools in the district, turning loneliness and isolation into child's play.
