Talk about your favorite action hero.
본인이 가장 좋아하는 액션 히어로왜 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
My favorite action hero is Captain America. He is very strong, and he is an inspiration. He is also very good-looking and has a good heart. He also has great leadership skills. I really like how he defeats all the bad guys at the end. I know that he is a fictional character, but I think it would be great if he existed in real life. He could make the world a better place to live in.

내가 가장 좋아하는 액션 허어로는 캡틴 아에리카다. 그는 힘이 매우 세고, 좋은 영감을 준다. 외모도 출중하고 마음이 선하다. 그리고 리더십이 뛰어나다. 마지막에 나쁜 놈들을 다 물리치는 모습이 정말 마음에 든다. 그가 허구적인 캐릭터인 것은 알지만 실존하는 인물이라면 정말 좋을 것 같다. 그는 세상을 더 살기 좋은 곳으로 만들 수 있을 것 같다.

Talk about a superhero movie you watched recently.
최근에 본 슈퍼히어로 영화에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
I recently watched the sequel to the Avengers movie. It was the last installment of the Avengers series. Some of my favorite actors starred in the movie. The movie was about how the Avengers joined forces to defeat a powerful villain. I really liked the storyline of the movie, especially because there was a big twist at the end. The movie was packed with funny scenes. It cracked me up many times. I think it was a killer movie. In fact, the movie was a box-office hit in Korea.

최근에 <어벤져스> 속편을 봤다. 어벤져스 시리즈의 종결편이었다. 내가 가장 좋아하는 배우들이 주연 배우로 출연했다. 이 영화는 어벤져스가 다 같이 힘을 모아서 엄청난 힘을 지닌 악당을 물리치는 내용 이였다. 영화의 줄거리도 마음에 들었는데, 특히 마지막에 예기치 못한 대반전이 있었기 때문이다. 그 영화에는 웃긴 장면도 많아서, 영화를 보는 내내 크게 웃었다. 정말 대박 영화였던 것 같다. 사실 한국에서 흥행 성적이 매우 좋았다.
