해이링 2일차: 대화 이어가기(걷기/날씨/경복궁/일) 자연스러운 문장 7개

목표: 상대 질문에 자연스럽게 이어가면서, 내 말이 “영어처럼” 들리게 다듬기.

1) “지금 일하는 중이라 바빠”

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • I’m busy at work right now. Can I call you back later?
    • I’m at work right now, so I might be a bit slow to reply.

핵심: I am walking in my job 같은 직역 대신, 상황(바쁨/답장 느림/나중에 연락)으로 말하면 자연스럽다.

2) “아니, 걷는 거야(일하는 거 아님)” 정정하기

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • Oh, my mistake. I mean I’m walking, not working.
    • Sorry—I meant I’m out for a walk.

핵심: 말이 꼬였을 때는 I mean…이 최고의 복구 버튼.

3) 미세먼지 + 날씨(“too heavy” 피하기)

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • The air quality in Seoul is really bad today. It’s dusty and cold.
    • The fine dust is pretty severe today, and it’s also cold.

핵심: 미세먼지는 heavy가 아니라 bad / severe / terrible 쪽이 자연스럽다.

4) 경복궁 근처에서 일한다(정확한 표현)

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • My office is near Gyeongbokgung. It’s a royal palace in Seoul.
    • I work near Gyeongbokgung—the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

핵심: 경복궁은 castle보다 royal palace가 정확.

5) 러닝 루틴(거리 + 주 3~4회 + 40분~1시간)

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • Do you remember what we talked about yesterday? I’m a marathon runner, and Gyeongbokgung is about 2.8 km away.
    • In the summer, I run around Gyeongbokgung three or four times a week—usually for about 40 minutes to an hour.

상대가 “Does it inspire you?” 라고 물으면 이렇게 한 문장 추가:

  • Yeah, it does. Running near such a historic place feels really special.

핵심:

  • yesterday talking → our conversation yesterday / what we talked about yesterday
  • I am marathoner → I’m a marathon runner
  • 40 or 1 hour → 40 minutes to an hour

6) “관광객이 너무 많아서 요즘은 러닝은 잘 못 함”

  • 더 자연스럽게:
    • Gyeongbokgung is very popular with tourists, so it gets really crowded. These days I don’t run there as much—I’m usually nearby for work.
    • It’s beautiful, but it’s often crowded, so I mostly just walk there now.

핵심: too many tourists를 말할 때는 crowded 한 단어가 대화를 훨씬 자연스럽게 만든다.

7) “학령인구 감소 → 지방대 리스크”를 ‘보람’ 질문에 연결하기

상대 질문: “What’s the most rewarding part of your work?”

  • 더 자연스럽게(보람까지 연결):
    • One rewarding part is helping universities adapt to major challenges—like Korea’s declining school-age population. Many regional universities are at risk, so I feel my work can make a real difference.

핵심:

  • too risk → at risk
  • many regions universities → many regional universities

오늘의 한줄 결론

영어는 “단어”보다 대화 흐름(정정/이유/추가 한 문장)이 자연스러움을 만든다.
