Tell me about the furniture in your home. Do you go for a particular style, and is there a store you prefer to buy from? Is there one piece that means something special to you — and why?

As for the furniture in my home, there are many pieces of furniture in my house. Umm.. Let me see. There are a desk, chair, bed, and sofa

When it comes to style, I don’t have a preference. I think I like simple designs.

I prefer to buy furniture on the Internet because it is cheaper there. Also, there are many kinds of modern and simple furniture.

I think the piece of furniture that I value the most is my bed because I can get some rest when I am tired. I feel better if I take a nap there.

I think that’s about it.

저희 집 가구에 대해 말씀드리면, 집에 가구가 꽤 많아요. 음.. 어디 보자. 책상, 의자, 침대, 소파가 있어요.

스타일에 대해서는 딱히 취향이 없어요. 심플한 디자인을 좋아하는 것 같아요.

가구는 인터넷에서 사는 걸 선호해요. 더 싸거든요. 모던하고 심플한 가구도 종류가 많고요.

제가 제일 아끼는 가구는 침대인 것 같아요. 피곤할 때 쉴 수 있으니까요. 거기서 낮잠을 자면 기분이 나아져요.

이 정도인 것 같아요.

How does your furniture fit into your everyday life? Tell me what you typically do with the different pieces around your home.

I didn't think you would ask that. Let me tell you about it. I want to start with my desk. It's big and has a lot of room in my room. I can do many things there, like study, work on my laptop, and sometimes eat a small meal. It's great to have a big desk. I also like to sit on my sofa. It's very comfortable, so I always sit there when I watch TV or rest. I think that's all. How about you, how do you use your furniture?

그걸 물어보실 줄 몰랐네요. 말씀드릴게요. 책상부터 시작하고 싶어요. 크고 제 방에서 자리를 많이 차지해요. 거기서 공부도 하고, 노트북으로 일도 하고, 가끔 간단한 식사도 하는 등 많은 걸 할 수 있어요. 큰 책상이 있다는 건 정말 좋아요. 소파에 앉는 것도 좋아해요. 아주 편해서 TV를 보거나 쉴 때 항상 거기 앉아요. 이게 다인 것 같아요. 당신은요? 가구를 어떻게 쓰나요?


유형 3 Question

What was the furniture like in your home when you were growinging up? How does it compare with what you have now?

That's a good question. I want to compare my childhood furniture to what I have now. When I was a kid, I didn't have a bed and had to sleep on a thin mattress on the floor. It wasn't comfortable. But, I bought a new bed from IKEA recently. It's not the best, but it's okay. Now, I don't wake up with pain in the middle of the night. and I sleep better. That's the main difference.

좋은 질문이네요. 어릴 때 가구랑 지금 가구를 비교해 보고 싶어요. 어릴 때는 침대가 없어서 바닥에 얇은 매트리스를 깔고 자야 했어요. 편하지 않았죠. 그런데 최근에 이케아에서 새 침대를 샀어요. 최고급은 아니지만 괜찮아요. 이제는 한밤중에 아파서 깨는 일이 없고, 잠도 더 잘 자요. 그게 제일 큰 차이예요.


유형 4 Question

Have you ever discovered, out of nowhere, that a piece of your furniture was damaged or broken? What did you find, how did it happen, and what did you do about it?

Oh. That is a really good question. I once had a chair in my room.

After a long lazy winter, I gained a significant amount of weight. I think I gained about 10kg.

One day, I sat on the chair and the chair made some weird noise and it was broken into two pieces.

It was a shocking experience. I suppose it was it was because I gained too much weight from delivery food. That’s when I promised myself that I have to start jogging. Anyway…

What can I do? I had to replace the broken chair, which cost me an extra $100.

오, 정말 좋은 질문이네요. 예전에 제 방에 의자가 하나 있었어요.

길고 게으른 겨울을 보내고 나서 살이 상당히 쪘어요. 10kg 정도 찐 것 같아요.

어느 날 그 의자에 앉았는데, 의자가 이상한 소리를 내더니 두 동강이 났어요.

충격적인 경험이었죠. 배달 음식으로 살이 너무 쪄서 그랬던 것 같아요. 그때 조깅을 시작해야겠다고 다짐했죠. 아무튼…

어쩌겠어요? 부서진 의자를 바꿔야 했고, 100달러가 더 들었어요.

How have home appliances changed the way people handle housework? Compare doing chores before and after these appliances became common.

Absolutely, there has been a major shift in the way we handle house chores.

To begin with, let me talk about how things were in the past. Back then, we didn’t have access to the kinds of advanced technologies we enjoy today, so most household tasks had to be done manually, one by one.

For instance, I clearly remember my mom washing the dishes and sweeping the floor all by herself.

She often said that it was both exhausting and incredibly time-consuming.

But nowadays, the situation is completely different.

We have a wide range of home appliances that make chores much easier and allow us to manage our time more effectively.

Take the laundry dryer and robot vacuum cleaner, for example.

Thanks to the dryer, we no longer need bulky drying racks that take up space.

And what I personally find most useful is the robot vacuum cleaner.

It cleans the floor on its own, which not only saves time but also reduces the amount of physical effort we have to put in.

So overall, I can confidently say that modern technology has made daily life far more convenient, especially when it comes to managing household tasks.

As you can see, there has been a huge transformation, and it’s all thanks to technological advancements.

물론이죠, 집안일을 처리하는 방식에 큰 변화가 있었어요.

우선 과거가 어땠는지부터 얘기할게요. 그때는 오늘날 우리가 누리는 첨단 기술을 쓸 수 없어서, 대부분의 집안일을 하나하나 손으로 해야 했어요. 예를 들어, 엄마가 혼자서 설거지하고 바닥을 쓸던 모습이 선명하게 기억나요. 엄마는 그게 힘들고 시간도 엄청나게 잡아먹는 일이라고 자주 말씀하셨죠.

그런데 요즘은 상황이 완전히 달라요. 집안일을 훨씬 쉽게 만들어주고 시간을 더 효율적으로 관리하게 해주는 다양한 가전제품이 있잖아요. 건조기랑 로봇청소기를 예로 들어볼게요. 건조기 덕분에 자리를 차지하는 커다란 빨래 건조대가 더는 필요 없어요. 그리고 제가 개인적으로 제일 유용하다고 생각하는 건 로봇청소기예요. 알아서 바닥을 청소해 주니까 시간도 아끼고 몸으로 하는 수고도 줄어들죠.

그래서 전반적으로, 현대 기술이 일상을 훨씬 편리하게 만들었다고 자신 있게 말할 수 있어요. 특히 집안일 관리에서요. 보시다시피 엄청난 변혁이 있었고, 이건 전부 기술 발전 덕분이에요.


도전 AL 14·15번 일상 생활에 도움을 주는 가전제품 소개

Tell me about an appliance or device that makes everyday life easier. Describe what it does and why it's become so essential.

Numerous electronic gadgets are making our lives at home far more efficient and convenient.

Honestly, I can think of hundreds of them, but instead of listing them all, let me just mention a few that come to mind right now.

First of all, I want to talk about the microwave.

Some people might take it for granted, but in my opinion, it is definitely a powerful piece of technology.

Thanks to this appliance, we can save a significant amount of time, especially during busy mornings.

For me, it’s a total lifesaver.

Another great invention is the air fryer.

It allows us to cook food without using too much oil, which is perfect for people who are trying to eat healthier these days.

As you know, more and more people are becoming health-conscious.

So overall, I’m really grateful for these modern technologies.

They make our daily routines smoother and help us live more comfortably and mindfully.

수많은 전자기기들이 우리 집에서의 생활을 훨씬 효율적이고 편리하게 만들어주고 있어요. 솔직히 수백 개는 떠올릴 수 있지만, 다 나열하는 대신 지금 생각나는 몇 가지만 얘기할게요.

먼저 전자레인지 얘기를 하고 싶어요. 당연하게 여기는 사람들도 있겠지만, 제 생각에 전자레인지는 확실히 강력한 기술이에요. 이 가전 덕분에 특히 바쁜 아침에 상당한 시간을 아낄 수 있어요. 저한테는 완전 구세주죠.

또 하나의 훌륭한 발명품은 에어프라이어예요. 기름을 많이 쓰지 않고 요리할 수 있게 해줘서, 요즘처럼 건강하게 먹으려는 사람들에게 딱이에요. 아시다시피 점점 더 많은 사람들이 건강을 챙기잖아요.

그래서 전반적으로, 이런 현대 기술들에 정말 감사해요. 일상을 더 매끄럽게 만들어주고, 더 편안하고 알차게 살도록 도와주니까요.
