Polished transcript:

Male Female

Now, I'd like to talk about something that I can't live without. It is my notebook and a pen. I usually use this for studying and planning. Since I don't really like to use digital devices to plan, I often spend my time planning with my notebook and pen. I also jot down a lot of things, especially my ideas and current worries. Now let me tell you why I think I can't live without this. The method of writing things down on paper is really important for me since it's easy to memorize, and its lightness makes it possible for me to carry it wherever I go, whether in Korea or overseas. I could keep this with me always, so it's really comfortable to take, and it's really effective for me since I often lose my attention on my subject. But whenever I write down my plans in the notebook and put that on the wall to keep reminding me, this is the thing that I can't live without.
