Beer 
Read a short passage about how a drink made from barley and hops became one of the world's favorite beverages. 
1.1
Beer is a favorite drink for many people around the world.  It is made from water, barley, hops, and yeast.  These ingredients are mixed and left to sit for a while.  This process makes alcohol and gives beer its special flavor. 

맥주는 전 세계 많은 사람들이 좋아하는 음료입니다. 그것은 물, 보리, 홉, 그리고 효모로 만들어집니다. 이 재료들은 혼합되어 잠시 놔둡니다. 이 과정은 알코올을 만들고 맥주에 특별한 맛을 줍니다.

1.2
The story of beer started a very long time ago.  Early people in a place called Mesopotamia, which is now called Iraq, made a simple type of beer.  They did not have the tools we have today, but they knew how to make beer from grains.  Over many years, the skill of making beer spread to different cultures. 

맥주의 이야기는 아주 오래전에 시작되었습니다. 지금은 이라크라고 불리는 메소포타미아 지역의 초기 사람들은 간단한 종류의 맥주를 만들었습니다. 그들은 오늘날 우리가 가진 도구를 가지고 있지 않았지만, 곡물로 맥주를 만드는 방법을 알고 있었습니다. 여러 해에 걸쳐, 맥주를 만드는 기술은 다양한 문화로 퍼져 나갔습니다.

1.3
In the Middle Ages in Europe, beer was very common.  Monasteries, where religious men called monks lived, were important for beer making.  Monks made beer not just for themselves but also for visitors and to sell to others. 

중세 유럽에서 맥주는 매우 흔했습니다. 수도사라고 불리는 종교적인 남자들이 살던 수도원은 맥주 제조에 중요했습니다. 수도사들은 자신들을 위해서뿐만 아니라 방문객들과 다른 사람들에게 팔기 위해서도 맥주를 만들었습니다.

1.4
A long time ago, beer was often safer to drink than water.  This is because making beer kills bad germs in the water.  Everyone, including children, drank beer every day.  It was a normal part of what they ate. 

오래 전에는 맥주가 물보다 마시기에 더 안전한 경우가 많았습니다. 이는 맥주를 만들면 물 속의 나쁜 세균이 죽기 때문입니다. 아이들을 포함한 모든 사람들이 매일 맥주를 마셨습니다. 그것은 그들이 먹는 것의 정상적인 부분이었습니다.

1.5
Nowadays, making beer is a big business.  Many countries have their types of beer.  Some beers are light and easy to drink, while others are dark and strong.  People like to try different beers from around the world. 

오늘날 맥주 제조는 큰 사업입니다. 많은 나라에는 자신만의 맥주 종류가 있습니다. 어떤 맥주는 가볍고 마시기 쉬운 반면, 다른 맥주는 어둡고 강합니다. 사람들은 전 세계의 다양한 맥주를 시도하는 것을 좋아합니다.

1.6
Beer festivals are fun events where people meet to try many kinds of beers.  These festivals happen in many places and are a good way to learn about beer.  They also help people know more about how beer is made and enjoyed. 

맥주 축제는 사람들이 다양한 종류의 맥주를 시도하기 위해 만나는 재미있는 행사입니다. 이러한 축제는 많은 곳에서 열리며 맥주에 대해 배울 수 있는 좋은 방법입니다. 그들은 또한 사람들이 맥주가 어떻게 만들어지고 즐겨지는지에 대해 더 많이 알 수 있도록 도와줍니다.

1.7
Fun fact: Did you know that the oldest recipe in the world is for beer?  This recipe was written over 4,000 years ago on a piece of clay in ancient Sumeria. 

재미있는 사실: 세계에서 가장 오래된 레시피가 맥주용이라는 것을 알고 계셨나요? 이 레시피는 4,000년 이상 전에 고대 수메리아의 점토 조각에 기록되었습니다.
