# SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about the movie Parasite and the Academy Awards.

The Korean movie Parasite made cinema history by winning 4 Oscars this year.

First, it won best picture at the Academy Awards.

It was the first time in 92 years that a non-English film had won that award.

The movie also won the Oscars for best original screenplay and best international feature film.

Meanwhile, the director of the movie, Bong Joon-ho, won the Oscar for best director.

It was also the first time that a Korean director had won that award.

His acceptance speeches at the award were very touching and got a lot of laughs.

It got a lot of spotlight from the media and created a lot of hype.

Personally, I was very proud that such a classic Korean movie won so many awards.

I became a big fan of director Bong Joon-ho.

I look forward to watching his future movies.

한국 영화 '기생충'이 올해 아카데미상 4개 부문을 수상하면서 영화계에 새로운 역사를 썼다. 가장 먼저, 아카데미 작품상을 수상했다. 아카데미 92년 역사상 영어가 아닌 외국어로 제작된 영화가 이 상을 탄 것은 처음이었다. 또한 아카데미 각본상과 국제 장편 영화상을 수상하기도 했다.
한편, 이 영화의 봉준호 감독은 아카데미 감독상을 수상했다. 한국인 감독이 이 상을 수상한 것도 역대 처음이었다. 그의 수상 소감은 매우 감동적이고 재치 있었다. 언론의 집중 조명을 받았고, 많은 화제를 일으켰다.
개인적으로, 뛰어난 한국 영화가 이렇게 많은 상을 받아서 정말 자랑스러웠다. 봉준호 감독의 열렬한 팬이 되었다. 그의 차기 작품들이 기대가 된다.
