# Speech Practice

 

Talk about the entertainment you engage in your daily life.

 

No matter how busy I get, I try to make time for entertainment.

Through culture and entertainment, I can enrich my emotions and blow off steam.

I can also create fond memories with the people who are with me.

Most commonly, I watch movies.

I'm not picky about whether it's a Korean or foreign movie.

I watch anything that's fun.

I go to the theater at least once every other month.

I am impressed by the grand scale of Hollywood movies.

Korean movies are quitely moving.

I also sometimes watch plays and musicals.

After I see a good performance, it stays with me for a while.

I have a friend who likes musical performances, so I taged along with her a few times.

I liked how it felt soothing to hear the music.

 

[Kor]

아무리 바쁘게 살아도 시간을 내서 문화생활을 하려고 노력한다. 문화생활을 통해서 감성이 풍부해지고 스트레스가 풀리기 때문이다. 같이 간 사람들과 즐거운 추억도 만들 수 있다. 가장 흔하게 하는 문화생활은 영화 관람이다. 한국 영화나 외국 영화 가릴 것 없이  재미있는 작품은 어떤 것이든 본다. 최소 두 달에 한 번씩은 영화관에 간다. 할리우드 작품들의 엄청난 스케일에 감탄한다. 한국 영화들은 잔잔한 감동을 준다.  가끔 연극이나 뮤지컬도 보러 간다. 괜찮은 공연을 보고 나면, 한동안 여운이 남는다. 음악 연주회를 좋아하는 친구가 있어서, 몇 번 따라가 봤다. 음악을 들으니 힐링이 되어서 좋았다.

# Dialogue Practice

 

A: Do you enjoy plays or musicals?

B: I can't get enough of them! But I can't go often because the tickets are so pricey.

A: Is that so? I got musical tickets from someone I know. Do you want to go?

B: Really? Which musical is it? Do you have the tickets?

A: I think it's pretty well-known. Here, take a look.

B: Wow! This is the talk of the town. I really wanted to see it!

A: Yeah? Then let's go.

B: Are you sure? When's the date? It stars my favorite musical star.

 

A: 연극이나 뮤지컬을 좋아하니?
