Task

1) Does the student like the family with cats?

2) Tell your program director that you want the family that has any children under 10 years old. You would rather quiet life.

Program Director: After I interview you, I’ll give you an application to fill out and we’ll try to match you with an appropriate family. We need to know things such as whether or not you smoke, if you’re a vegetarian or have any dietary restrictions, how you feel about pets, what kind of American food you like, and a little about your family background and interests.

Student: I see. You mean if I say I like cats and Mozart, you won’t send me to a family with three teenagers in a rock band and a big dog.

Program Director: Exactly. Do you like Mozart, by the way? I’ve got several candidates for you if you do.

Student: I sure do. I’m minoring in music and I sing in the university chorus. But I’m allergic to cats.

Program Director: No problem. Just fill out this form and return it to the receptionist.

1. Can you match me with a Christian family?; 저를 기독교가정에 연결해 주실수 있나요?

A: Can you match me with a family with children? I love children. (저를 아이들이 있는 가정에 연결해 주시겠어요? 저는 아이들을 좋아합니다.)

B: Let me have a look. (한번 봅시다.)

2. How do you feel about pets?:애완동물은 어떤가요?

A: What do you think about pet? (애완동물은 어떤가요?)

B: I'm allergic to cats. (저는 고양이 알레르기가 있습니다.)

본인이 특정 애완동물이 집에 있는 것이 싫다면 미리 이야기 하는 것이 좋다. 대다수의 서양인들이 애완동물을 가족과 같이 생각하여 집안 어디에서라도 마주칠 수 있으므로 중요하게 체크해 보아야 할 내용이다.

3. I’m minoring in ~ : ~를 부전공으로 하다. cf. I’m majoring in ~; ~를 전공으로 하다.
