<2018.Jan.18 입트영: Talk about when you had
problems parking your car>
Finding a parking spot can be very
hard in big cities. You really need to keep your eyes
open to find an open spot. Many people drive a small car to make a
parking less of chore. It’s easier to navigate through cramp parking lots with
compact cars. Still, finding room to park is so difficult sometimes that I
wonder if it worth a trouble.(주차공간을 너무 찾기가 어려워서 주차공간 찾는 고생을 할 가치가 있는지 의문이
들 때가 있다.) Once, I was
running late for a meeting. I left early just in case.
However, I couldn’t find a parking space when I got there. It took me longer
than 10 minutes to park and I ended up being late
for the meeting. Since then, I always leave extra early
when I drive my car somewhere.
