안녕하세요 여러분,

이번에는 공원 주제로 나오는 질문 중 ‘공원에서 있었던 기억에 남는 일’을 묘사하는 답변을 함께 알아보겠습니다. 과거의 경험을 묻는 질문이므로 과거시제를 사용하여 설명해야 하겠죠. 언제 어디서 무슨 일이 있었는지 생생하게 묘사하는 편이 좋습니다. 공원에서 기억에 남을 만한 일은 무엇이 있을까요? 공원에서 무료 콘서트나 공연이 있어서 관람했다든지, 혹은 공원에서 불꽃축제나 벚꽃축제를 즐겼던 경험, 어렸을 때 공원에서 길을 잃었던 경험, 공원에서 우연히 옛 친구를 만나서 반가웠던 경험 등을 소재로 답변을 만들면 되겠습니다.

[ 유용한 표현 – 공원에서의 있었던 기억에 남는 일 ]

- I got lost / I ran into my old friend 길을 잃었다 / 우연히 친구를 만났다

- I was watching a parade 퍼레이드를 보는 중이었다

- I was shopping at a toy store. 장난감 가게에서 쇼핑 중이었다

- All of a sudden, I realized that~ 갑자기 ~라는 것을 깨달았습니다.

자, 그렇다면 예상 질문과 함께 답변도 준비해 볼까요?

[Q] Please tell me about a time something interesting or unexpected happened at the park. When and when did it occur? What were you doing at the time?

[Model Answer]

I remember I went to one of the biggest parks with my parents on Children’s day when I was 7 years old and the park was very crowded with tons of people. I was extremely excited to go to the park because it had so many interesting things to see and enjoy. My parents told me to hold hands tight since it was crowed and I was holding my Mom’s hand. Then, something caught my eyes and it was a big toy shop. I just let go of my Mom’s hand and ran toward the shop. I was into robots when I was a kid and the toy shop had so many kinds of robots. All of a sudden, I realized that I couldn’t see my Mom and I was embarrassed and afraid. I was looking around, but all I could see was a parade and the park was too big. When I was crying standing alone, a police officer found me and asked me where my Mom was. I explained what happened, and he helped me find my parents. Thanks to the police office, I could meet my parents again. That’s something unexpected happened at the park.
