안녕하세요 여러분,

오늘의 질문을 함께 볼까요?

[ Q ] Tell me about some of the shopping experiences you have had. What were you shopping for? Where did you go? Who did you go with? And what else did you do or see during those shopping experience?

쇼핑 경험을 묻는 질문입니다. 세부 질문이 많죠? 언제 어디서 누구와 무엇을 쇼핑했는지, 그리고 그곳에서 다른 것을 본 게 있는지를 묻고 있습니다. 이와 같은 과거의 경험 질문에 기본적인 답변은 친구와 함께 쇼핑하면서 즐거웠던 경험이 되겠죠. 하지만 조금 더 답변의 차별화를 두고자 한다면, 그 장소에서 뜻밖의 인물을 우연히 만나서 더욱 더 반갑고 기억에 남는 경험이었다는 내용도 좋겠습니다. 이러한 답변 방식은 다양하게 응용될 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 공원에서 있었던 경험, 여행 중에 있었던 경험, 영화관에서 있었던 경험 등등 모두 ‘우연히 친구를 만났다’와 같은 스토리가 활용될 수 있겠죠! . .

[ Model Answer ]

I went shopping to a mall with my mom to buy a new coat for me last winter. We went to a big and new shopping mall in the downtown and enjoyed shopping for about two hours. It was a very fun time to shop with my mom because we are close to each other. After spending some time at the mall, we went to a restaurant in the mall to have lunch. Then, I ran into my old friend who went to college with me. What a nice surprise! She was one of my good friends back in college, but we didn’t keep in touch after we graduated. I was so happy to see her again and couldn’t believe my eyes. We had a chat at the restaurant and exchanged phone numbers. The mall was really crowded, so I felt that I was lucky to run into her! Since then, we still keep in touch and it was a memorable experience I had while shopping.
