[Question]

You indicated that you go to coffee shops.

Tell me about the cafes or coffee houses in your community.

[2번 – First question of First combo set]

Oh, cafes!

→ Cafes around my area.. hmm, alright. / Cafes around my area.. Oh my, where do I begin?

 

Uh, there’s(문법상 오류지만 이렇게 많이 씀) so many[myriads of | tons of | loads of] cafes near my home.

→ You know, it’s ubiquitous. They’re literally scattered everywhere.

 

Starbucks, Ediya, Twosome Place.. But there’s one place that I like because this place is like my home.

→ But there’s this one place that I like. It’s called “Coffee-ni” and this place makes me feel like(Simile 비유법) I’m home.

 

You know, there’re so many cafes in Korea but they are all of[usually all] franchise.

→ You know, there’re so many cafes in Korea but most of them are franchises.

 

What I like this place is this is not a franchise so there aren’t many people.

→ What I like about this place is that it’s not a franchise. So there aren’t many people. / and so, it’s not overflowing with too many [loud, obnoxious] customers.

 

So, it is cozy and I feel relaxed. So, I like to go there. (“So ~, that’ why ~.” 활용하기)

→ So, it is cozy and I feel relaxed. I mean, it’s just so relaxing whenever I’m there. That’s why I love going there.

 

But you know what? I already told you in my introduction.

But they usually play KPOP songs that I like so I really appreciate that.

→ But you know what? It’s funny. Since I feel like myself here and that they also play KPOP music that I already told you in my introduction, right? So sometimes I can’t even tell whether I’m at home or at a cafe.

[Rule]

1. Never ask Ava a question. If you must, ask a rhetorical question.
(Ava한테 질문하지 않기. 만약 질문해야 하면, 수사학적 질문하기 - 대답이 필요없는 질문)

 

2. Do not use difficult words that you are uncomfortable with.

Use simple words you are totally confident in using.

(불편하고 어려운 단어 사용하지 않기, 사용하기 편하고 자신감있는 간단한 단어 사용하기)

 

3. Try not to repeat the same word in the same sentence.

(한 문장에서 같은 단어 반복하지 않기)

 

4. Don’t use 2 descriptive or feeling words using “and”.

(무언가를 묘사하거나 감정 단어 2개를 말할 때, “and” 사용하지 않기)

→ Comfy and cozy (X) / Crispy and crunchy (X) / Juicy and tender (X) / Wind down and relax (X)

 

5. Talk about one thing, and one thing only.

(한 가지에 대해서만 말하기)

 

6. If you get nervous and have nothing to say, go right to the conclusion.

(긴장이 되고 할 말이 없을 땐, 바로 결론으로 가기)

 

7. Make “honest excuses” later. Not in the beginning.

(“솔직한 변명”은 나중에 하기. 처음 부분에서 하지 않기)

[TIP]

- 어떤 질문이 나오더라도 답변할 수 있는 4가지 전략

→ Description(설명) / Habit(습관) / Past Experience(과거 경험) / Comparison(비교)

 

- Fillers 사용하기

→ um / uh / well / you know / you see / let me see / like / what am I trying to say / I mean / I think / I find it / I feel / I guess / quite / What I really (like, love, hate, interesting == 그저 그럴 때) about / It’s funny cos / Frequently / Most of the time ~ But sometimes ~ / you know what?
