Day 34: Can Trees Cool a City?
At home, Myungsoo (A) finds a newspaper article quoting the research team of his daughter Yujin (B), a graduate researcher.
How to study this lesson 4 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Still learning Hangul? Tick Romanization to see how each line sounds, but read the Korean first.
- Download the Anki deck below and review it every day. It has every line of today's dialogue. Review earlier decks too when Anki asks you to.
- Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Korean, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.

Yujin, look at this. "Urban forests cut midsummer temperatures by up to 3 degrees." Your research team's name is in here!

It's out already? My professor only gave the interview yesterday.

"Yeongujineun garosuga maneun georiilsurok yeolseom hyeonsangi jureodeundago balkyeotda." Uri ttari sinmune naodani, appaga da ppudeutada.
"The researchers said the more roadside trees a street has, the weaker the heat-island effect." My daughter in the paper! I'm so proud.

My name isn't even in it. But I collected most of the data.

But honestly, it sounds a bit exaggerated. Even in a park in summer, it doesn't feel much different. Surely a few trees can't lower a city's temperature by three whole degrees?

Not a few trees. It's about forest-sized areas. And it's the temperature of the streets around the forest, not the whole city.

Geureom jemogi teullin geone. Saramdeureun jemongman bogo dosi jeonchega siwonhaejindago saenggakal geo aniya.
Then the headline's wrong. People will read only the headline and think the whole city gets cooler.

Exactly. Headlines always go for the most eye-catching number. That's why you have to read the paper itself.

How did you measure the three degrees? The weather must be different every day.

For two months last summer we put sensors on twenty streets and recorded the temperature every hour. We compared the same times of day.

Right, that's the study's limitation. We clearly wrote in the paper that it needs to be confirmed in more areas.

The numbers might change a bit. But lots of studies have already shown that tree shade keeps the ground cooler and cuts down on tropical nights.

If that's the case, I believe it too. My own daughter wouldn't lie to her dad.

Ha, then cut this article out and stick it on the fridge. And make sure you write "streets nearby only" next to the headline.

I will. With global warming making every summer a nightmare, I'm going to ask the building management to plant more trees in our complex.
