he week when Koreans most often purchased cigarettes.
구입된
※ most often
가장(무척) 흔하게, 거의 대개, 아주 종종 *(the) most often: 부사의 최상급에서는 the 를 생략할 수 있음
The survey involved over 9.000 retail stores across Korea over an 8-week period.

During this period,132.5 million packs of cigarettes, including all brands, both Korean and foreign, were sold.
As it turned out.
※ as it/things turned out
나중에 밝혀진 것처럼
Fridays witnessed the greatest number of sales at 19.5 million packs.
가장 많은 판매량
However, this number is only slightly above the expected average of 18.9 million packs.
If we assume that the purchase of cigarettes relates to people's stress levels, Friday would be the most stressful day of the week. according to KT&G. However, an alternative explanation is that people buy more cigarettes on Friday because they want extra packs for the weekend. The lowest day for cigarette sales was Sunday when 17.9 million packs were sold.
The smoking habit in Korea has been falling over the past decade. In the mid-1990s around 75% of Korean men smoked. but by 2006, the percentage had fallen slightly below 50%.
(1) Do you agree with KT&G's explanation that higher Friday sales of cigarettes relate to higher stress levels?
(2) Why do you think the percentage of smokers in Korea is declining?
(3) How do you feel about smoking in public? Would you support a law to prohibit smoking in all public places?
(4) Which day of the week is the most stressful for you? Which is the least stressful?
(5) What are the most helpful ways you have for dealing with stress?
너무 어려워서 교재를 바꿨다..ㅜㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
