8/19 Talk about the culture related to business cards in Korea.

A person's title is an important value in Korean culture.
* title: 직함, 직급
ex> It's important to call your superiors by their titles in Korea.

People are very used to being addressed by their titles.
* be addressed by: ~으로 불리다.
ex> She is still addressed by her maiden name in her hometown.
* maiden name: a woman’s family name before marriage

Keep in mind when exchanging business cards, you should use both hands.
ex> I'm used to exchanging business cards, so I always carry them around.

You should offer your business card with the letters facing the recipient.
ex> The address of the gift recipient must be accurate.

Once you receive the card, you should read it over thoroughly on the spot.
* thoroughly: 철저하게, 자세히

Simply just shoving it into your pocket is considered disrespectful.
* shove something into: to push sb/sth in a rough way,  ~에 밀어 넣다.
ex> I quickly shoved my diary into my underwear drawer.


@ I thought we could eat in today.  오늘은 집에서 먹을까 했지.

1. Should I address him by his title?
2. Please address me by my name, not my position.
3. We exchanged business card as soon as we met.
4. I shoved the envelope into the drawer.
