Please tell us about your neighbors.
Let me tell you about a family living across from my aparment, the Songs. They are really nice people.
- nice <-> impolite, rude, mean, not very friendly
1. They moved in about a year ago, and introduced themselves by bringing over some food.
2. They are very friendly and sociable, especially Mrs. Song.
- kind : 마음씨가 고운 착한, generous cf) friendly : 친절한
She is a stay-at-home mom and a phenominal cook.
- stay-at-home = housewife(politically incorrect), housekeeper
- stewardess -> flight attendant
- policeman -> police officer
- fireman -> fire fighter
- secretary -> assistant
4. Mr. Song works in a financial industry, and he quite often burns the midnight oil.
- burn the midnight oil = work very hard = burn a candle from both ends
4-1.They also have a daughter in high school.
5. She usually comes home late after finishing private tutoring classes.
I really don't know how she does it.
It's ashamed that we can't see more of each other.
But it seems that we're all too busy.
