새 전화기를 사기 전에 미리 좀 알아봤다. 조사를 하고 나서 무슨 기종을 살지 마음을 정했다. 손에 익은 모델이라 같은 제조사가 만든 전화기를 사기로 결정했다. 사진이 잘 찍히고, 배터리도 오래가는 전화기를 원해서 고른 것도 있다. 색상과 디자인도 마음에 들었고, 지인들의 평이 좋아서 선택한 것도 있다.

I had my work cut out for me when I bought a new phone last year. For starters, I had to transfer all the data from my old phone to my new one. First, I downloaded all my contacts to my new phone. Then, I transferred all my pictures and videos. After that, I reinstalled all my apps and logged in to my accounts. I also set a password that would unlock the phone. All told, it took me a few days to fully set up my new phone.

작년에 새 전화기를 구입하면서 많은 것을 해야 했다. 일단 사용하던 전화기에서 모든 자료를 새 전화기로 옳겨야 했다. 가장 먼저 연락처를 모두 새 전화기로 다운로드했다. 그다음에 사진들과 동영상들을 모두 옮겼다. 그리고 앱들을 다 재설치하고, 내 계정에 로그인했다. 휴대폰 잠금을 해제하는 비밀번호도 설정했다. 새 전화기를 전부 다 완전히 세팅하기까지 며칠이 걸렸다.
