STEP 1
Talk about how you choose restaurants.
음식점을 어떻게 선택하는지 이야기해 주세요.
[Response]
When I choose which restaurant I want to go to, I think about taste above everything else. I like to dine at restaurants that serve tasty food. I also take into account the mood of a restaurant. The atmosphere helps me enjoy the meal. Of course, I also have to think about the bill. I like to get good deals when I go out to eat. I cannot go to a restaurant too often if it is too pricey.
[해석]
어느 음식점에 갈지 고를 때, 나는 음식의 맛을 가장 우선적으로 생각한다. 맛았는 음식을 제공하는 음식점에서 식사하는 것이 좋다. 또한 음식점의 분위기도 고려한다. 분위기로 인해 식사를 더 즐길 수 있기 때문이다. 물론 음식 가격도 생각하지 않을 수 없다. 외식을 할 때 비교적 저렴하게 먹는 것을 좋아한다. 음식 가격이 너무 비싸면 음식점에 자주 가기가 힘들다.

[Response]
My friends and I had a get-together recently. We went to a Vietnamese place, and they had the best pho in town. The meat broth for the noodles was really tasty. The beef in the noodles was also juicy and tender. The food tasted extra good especially because I was starving. We also ordered some side dishes for the table. I look forward to going there again because the food was to my liking.
[해석]
나는 최근에 친구들과 모임을 가졌다. 베트남 음식점에 갔는데, 쌀국수를 정말 쟐하는 맛집이었다. 국수의 육수가 정말 맛있었고, 국수 안에 든 고기도 정말 입에서 살살 녹을 정도로 연했다. 특히 배가 몹시 고픈 상태로 먹어서 더욱 맛있었다. 우리는 나눠 먹을 사이드 메뉴도 주문했다. 음식이 너무 마음에 들어서 다음에 또 가기를 기대한다.
