영어 EBS N제 변형문제<1>

안녕하세요!
EBS 영어영역 변형교재 <Hit The Nail> 저자입니다.

오랜만에 글을 쓰네요!

Freedom of choice is more than just thinking and making decisions; it is a matter of making things (C) (happen / to happen). There is an old German saying: “You have to take life as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it!” [N제 p.103 208
