# SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about how to use the Internet while traveling overseas.
해외여행 중 인터넷 사용에 대해 이야기해 주세요.

Traveling overseas has become a very common thing these days, and we sometimes need to use our communication devices abroad. Korea is such a wired country that we have a lot of options. Most commonly, we can use overseas data roaming on our phones. If you have a mobile data plan that allows overseas roaming, you can use your phone abroad at a reasonable price.
Another method is to use a pocket Wi-Fi device. You can reserve the device and pick it up at the airport. You can then get a personal Wi-Fi connection overseas. There are several data plans with different limits and prices. You can drop off the device at the airport on your way back.
 

[해석]

해외여행이 매우 보편화된 요즘, 외국에서 통신 기기를 사용해야 하는 일이 종종 있다. 통신 기술이 발달된 나라답게 한국에서는 선택의 폭이 넓은데, 가장 대표적으로는 휴대 전화를 해외 로밍해서 사용하는 방법이 있다. 해외 로밍이 가능한 데이터 요금제를 선택하면 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 해외에서도 휴대 전화 사용이 가능하다.
그 밖에도 와이파이 도시락을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 와이파이 도시락 기기를 예약하고 공항에서 수령하면 된다. 그러면 해외에서 본인만의 와이파이 사용이 가능하다. 여러 가지 요금제에 따라 사용 가능한 데이터 한도와 가격이 다르다. 와이파이 도시락은 귀국하면서 공항에 반납하면 된다.
