다음 글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?
We must beware of the memorization trap into which so many of us fall. In advance of job interviews or other situations where we’ll likely have to speak *spontaneously, it is tempting to have some key lines or talking points nailed down in advance. That way, we’ll know just what to say when the time comes. Writing down what we might want to say can help, but memorization also can come back to haunt us. Giving our communication the feel of a formal, over-rehearsed presentation, it can make us more nervous as we struggle to remember a great **zinger that we’d thought of in advance of the actual conversation. We wind up closely examining what we’re saying, paying attention to every little ***deviation from our script and framing it as a mistake. Also, by taking valuable mental energy to remember our lines, we inhibit our ability to react naturally to others around us. We have less cognitive capacity at our disposal to listen to others and react in kind. We’re in our heads, not where we should be—immersed in the social world.
*spontaneously 즉흥적으로
**zinger 재치 있는 말
***deviation 탈선
