A. Middle school /  a stone's throw away from my home / tiny / state of the art / at the time / energetic / passion 

중학교 ->  집에서 매우 가까웠음 -> 작고 최신식의 학교 -> 학생들이 매우 에너제틱, 체육시간마다 우리만의 리그가 열림 -> 선생님들도 열정 매우 많았음. 중학생 시절이라 defiant children이 있어 힘들었을듯 / 나는 초/중 친구들이 같아서 친구들과 추억이 많음 / 성적은 별로였으나 좋은 추억이 있었음 I'd like to describe my middle school. I attended the school for about 3 years, my whole middle school days. The school was a stone's throw away from my home. It tooke me just 15 minutes by foot. The building of the school really tiny but it was state of the art at the time. It had two elevators and chairs, desks and boards were really clean. About students, almost all of them were so energetic, every sports class, we had our own sport league and I loved it. Also teachers had a lot of passion. I think that there were some defiant children because it was literally middle school, but teachers were patient and led them to the right way. I was living in the same village from elementary school so my middle school friends were also elementary school friends. It was fun. Even though my grade was not that good, I had a lot of fond memories.

Q. Describe a place in another part of the world that you would love to visit in the future.

• what you know about the place
• how you know about it
• how you would travel there
• and explain why you would love to visit that place.

A. South America / heritage / picturesque / breathtaking / cuisine / broaden my horizens / tourist attraction / landmark / life long ambition

남미 -> TV에서 봄 -> 아름다운 문화유산이 많은 것 같음 -> 관광지나 아름다운 자연경관 등 랜드마크가 많을 것 같음 -> 우리나라랑 정반대이고 문화도 많이 달라 내 경험을 넓힐 수 있을 듯 -> 나는 남미 음식 좋아해서 음식도 잘 맞을 것 같음 -> 너무 멀어서 가기 힘들어 보이긴 함 I'd like to describe South America. I saw a TV show which traveled some countries there. It looked like a lot of picturesque heritage there and I decided to travel the countries in South  America someday. Also There are lots of tourist attractions and breathtaking sceneries. Furthermore, It is on the opposite side of my country and culture is really different so I think If I travel there, I can broaden my horizons. And .. Because I also really like South Ameica's cuisine like taco and burrito, their food would suit me and I think I can really enjoy it. But It takes about 2 days to visit there from my countries and I have to transfer 2 times. However, I'm working now and my annual holiday is just 15 days. So in terms of practicality, I think It would be a little hard to travel there. Despite the fact like this, I will visit there someday. It's my life long ambition.
