Question
Please tell me about where you live. Do you live in a house or an apartment? How many rooms do you have in your house? Give me a good description of your house.
I live alone in an apartment in the Ilsan area.
I used to live in a small studio, so as soon as I saw my new apartment, I fell in love with it.
My apartment is on the 12th floor and it has a beautiful view of a park when I look out my window.
There is one bedroom, a kitchen, a living room space for my sofa and TV and a clean bathroom.
I like to spend time watching DVD movies in the living room on my home theater system.
What I like the most about my apartment is that my bedroom is big enough for my queen-sized bed.
I feel really comfortable there.
Although I don’t have a separate study, I often enjoy reading in my bedroom before I go to bed.

Can you tell me about your favorite season of the year? Why do you like it? What kind of activities do you usually do in that season?
Among the four seasons of the year, my favorite season is winter.
I always have a lot of fun in the winter, since I like to go snowboarding.
Last year, my friends and I went snowboarding together at Mount Seorak.
Mount Seorak is about three hours away from my house.
We rented a big cabin and stayed there for three days.
To drive there, we had to put chains on my car since the road was full of snow.
Each day we went snowboarding in the day and ate lots of food at night.
I really enjoyed the nights, since the snow was pretty in the moonlight.
Some people think the winter is too cold, but with the right clothes, winter is the best season for me.
