7.31 Talk about Fights you had with your boyfriend or husband

My husband and I fight over various things.
                       (~에 대해 싸우다) (fight over my spending habits)

Because we are both quite stubborn.
                                 (고집있다)

I complain about him not helping around the house enough.
                                 (집안일을 거들다, all duties around house)

He complain that he does his best.
                  (난 최선을 다하고 있다)

We also fight when he comes home too late after drinking.

We also fight over money problems.

When we have different opinion on what to buy and what not to buy.
         
It often develops into a fight.
(그건 종종 싸움으로 발전한다)

Plus we have fight over family issues.

We have different ideas about our children's education.

We sometimes fight over what to do for our parents.

But as with every couple no fight goes too far.
                               (싸움이 크게 가진 않는다. 칼로 물베기...)
                             (반대표현: cross the line: 선을 넘다 도가 지나치다)
We make up quite easily by talking it out.
(화해하다)                       (대화로 풀다. let's talk it out 대화로 풀자!)

*We even forgot what we fought over: 뭐 때문에 싸웠는지도 잊어버렸다.



7.30. Talk about What you do on dates

When  I go on dates with my boyfriend, I do typical things other couples do.
such as going to eat and watch.
(go on dates: 데이트하다, go on blind dates: 소개팅하다)

We both are not picky with food.
                       (음식에 까다롭다)

It doesn't matter what we eat.

We like to search for nice places to eat at online quite often.

Plus we have some mutual hobbies like to do things together.
                         (공통 취미생활)
(share a lot of hobbies = mutual hobbies
Have mutual hobbies to facilitate your relationship. 관계를 돈독하게 하기 위해 공통 취미생활을 가져라.)
mutual interests: 공통의 관심사, mutual friends: 공통 친구들)

We like to ride bikes. We take our bikes out quite often.
                                (자전거를 가지고 나가다/ 타러 나가다)
(Let's takes out bike tonight. 오늘밤 자전거 타러 나가자.)

We also like baseball.

So we go watch baseball games at ball parks off and on.
                    (북미권에선 match보다 game을 씀)
                                          (stadium보다 park을 씀; 야구장)

Plus we go to exhibit concert and musical from time to time.
                                                        (때때로)

We're thinking of taking yoga classes together pretty soon as well.
   (~할 계획이 있다. 생각이 있다)
(take dance class: 댄스수업을 듣다)





7.29  Talk about How you do the laundry 

I do my laundry every four to five days on average.
                   (반복적으로)                  (평균)

I first separate the whites and the colors.
                   (흰 빨래)          (색깔 빨래)

I learn that this is very important because I ??

So I always make sure to wash the whites separately.
(You wash the whites from the colors separately)

I throw the laundry in the washer and pour some detergent and fabric softener.
                                (세탁기)                      (세제)              (섬유유연제)

When the laundry is done, I hang dry them on the laundry rack.
                                    (널어말리다)                (빨래건조대, clothes line: 빨랫줄)
I leave them to dry for a day and then fold them.

I put them in the dresser.
                       (서랍장)
I also iron the shirts get rid of wrinkles.
                             
I put them in the closet or hangers.
                         (옷장이나 행어/옷걸이)
*Oh, no. this stain won't come off : 오 이런. 이 얼룩이 안 지워져.




7. 28 Talk about what you did at the beach recently

I went to the beach with my family last summer.

We went to well-known beach on the South Coast.
             (잘 알려진)            (남해안)
The beach was packed with vacationers.
      (발 디딜 틈 없이 가득하다)  (휴가객)
Because it was peak season.

We went for 2 days and stay at a nice beach side cabin.
                                                 (해변가)  (펜션; 미국은 '펜션'이라고 하면 퇴직연금)
During day we swam in the ocean and did a lot of stuff on the beach.
                                                                           (백사장)
In the evening we ate out in the restaurant.

We had raw fish and roasted shell fish on a table outside.

The food tasted so good because we were eating right in front of the beach.
                                                                  (바로 앞)
There was warm breeze and we could hear the waves throughout the meal.
                     (선선한 바람, 미풍)                            (~내내, 쭉)
It was perfect dinner.
        (최고)




7. 27 Talk about Charging your phone

Phone batteries don't last that long because we do so many things with our cell phone these days.

(we don't last long: 우리 관계가 오래 가지 않았지.)

Even if you have fully charged in the morning, its' often the case that you are out of battery in the afternoon.

I used to carry around extra battery with me, that wasn't enough.

These days I plug my phone whenever I'm inside

I carry around charger with me.

Many people have same problem with batteries.

It's easy to spot people have charge their phone in the place like coffeeshop.
(눈에 띄기 쉽다)

Many people ask to clerk whether they can charge their phone.

Convenient store have a charger as well.

You can charge battery pretty fast there.




My phone is dead. 폰이 꺼졌다.
My phone died while talking 통화하다 꺼지다
Why don't you ask to clerk if they have a charger?
