Shoulda coulda woulda

오늘 캐나다 총리 Trudeau의 CTV 인터뷰에서 나온 표현입니다. "Shoulda Coulda Woulda"는 "Should have been done, Could have been done, or would have been done"을 줄인 표현으로, 과거에 어찌됐던가는 소용없다는 표현입니다.


Reference: urbandictionary.com

Meaning that it is of no use to dwell on what should have (shoulda), could have (coulda) or would have (woulda) happened/been done
Said as an attempt to shorten a discussion that focusses on the past, thus providing no solution to an actual problem.
"Man, if only I didn't cum straight in the air, I wouldn't have jizz on my mullet now." 
"Shoulda coulda woulda. There are more important things than that. There is more to life than the jizz on your mullet. You're still young, someday you will wash your hair and the jizz will be gone, but your mullet will last forever."

How to write good college application essays


에세이는 충분한 정보를 수집하고 잘 정의된 글씨기 프로세스를 따를 때에 비로소 훌륭한 에세이가 될 수 있습니다. 생각한 대로 좋은 글을 쓸 수 있으면 좋겠지만, 전문 작가도 단번에 좋은 글을 쓸 수는 없습니다. 많은 정보 수집과 정리, 아이디어 구조화, 그리고 끝 없는 다듬기를 통해서 마무리를 하게 됩니다. 영어권 대학을 준비하는 학생들이 많이 보는 Writers INC라는 글쓰기 책에서 발췌한 글씨기 프로세스를 공유합니다.


Today, I am going to introduce you the wring process to write good essays. This is just a summary of the writing process and you may find a better reference or a good teacher, but the essence of the writing process will not change at all.


The Writing Process in action


1. Prewriting
Choosing a topic and gathering details
Search for a meaningful writing idea and collect information about it. This first step is as important as the others because the amount of your knowledge defines your level of understanding and expressions.


2. Writing the first draft
Connecting your ideas
Write down your thesis statement; structure the story and list up key points in each part.
Write the initial draft by rewriting the key points and connecting them.


3. Revising
Improving your writing
Review your first draft, checking the ideas, organization, voice, word choice and sentence fluency of your writing.


4. Editing and proofreading
Checking for accuracy
Ask a reliable editor to check your writing for errors you may have missed.


5. Publishing
Sharing your work
Share the finished product with your teacher, writing peers, friends, and family members.
