You indicated in the survey that you like riding a bicycle. Please describe your bicycle using as much detail as possible.
I'm glad to tell you about my bicycle. Actually, I bought a bicycle last month. It is so brand new. I'm really satisfied with the bicycle, you know? I paid more than I expected though. This bike is meant to be used for females. Because it is foldable and super light. So I can bring it anywhere. Plus, it's way convenient to be kept in my apartment. It doesn't need a big space at all, right?
There were 3 colors to choose from, which were black, green and pink. So I got the pink one that could make me feminine, you know. And it has a comfortable seat and wider handle bars. In addition, I installed flashlights in front and back of my bike and a smartphone holder on my bicycle. Just in case I get hurt at night when I ride the bicycle, but since I ride my bike my boyfriend most of the time, I wouldn’t worry about being hurt, because I know that my boyfriend got my back all the time! He is the sweetest man on earth! You would be shocked if you saw his face! He is pretty good-looking, you know?
What about you, Eva? Do you have a bicycle? What kind of bicycle do you have?

Where do you usually ride a bicycle? What is your reason for riding a bicycle? Please tell me about it in detail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Eva. I ride my bicycle in order to lose weight. As you know, I'm looking for a job these days. So I usually work on my resumes and prepare interviews while I sit at the desk most of the time. And I'm stressed out about that. For that reason, I need to go out and do some exercise, right? The best way to lose weight is riding a bicycle, I think. Plus, it helps me relieve my stress as well. I know myself that I get pretty laze sometimes, so there are some times that I don’t wanna ride my bike, but it is my boyfriend who always encourages me to go out and ride a bike with him. Well, things that my boyfriend does for me is just incredible, you know? He is so lovely.
I'm pretty busy during the week, so I usually ride my bike on weekends. 갑 river has the longest bicycle trail in Daejeon. So I love to go there. Especially, when it's sunny and nice, 갑 river is the best place to ride a bicycle.
If you visit to Daejeon, I will show you how cool it is.

Tell me about your early memory of learning a bike? How did you learn it? Did someone teach you how to ride a bike? Please explain the first memory of learning a bike?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okidoki, Eva. I'm a little bit ashamed to share about this. To be honest, I learned riding a bicycle when I was 22. So I still vividly remember the date when I learned how to ride a bicycle. I had a boyfriend who was 3 years older than me, back then. So I asked him to teach me how to ride a bicycle. So we rented bicycles from a subway station which was located near my apartment. After that, we moved to schoolyard and he kindly taught me how to ride it step by step. I wasn't good at riding the bicycle at first, so I kept falling off my bicycle. Therefore, I got bruises on my knees and I sprained my ankle as well. But I couldn't cry out loud cause I was old enough at that time. right? Haha. Whenever I think of learning a bike for the first time, it reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. He was just great.
Well, this is my first memory of learning a bike, Eva. Thank you for listening!

[OPIC] 배경 설문 - 공원

1. 공원가기1 (공원묘사)
You indicated in the survey that you like to go to the park.
Describe your favorite park in as much detail as possible. What makes it so special?

- That's a good question, Eva. Let me describe my favorite park that I go on a regular basis. The park I always go to is 둔산대(공원). It is quite far from my home, but it is quite close to 갑 river where I love to go too. In addition, there are attractive places near by the park such as an art museum, a concert hall and more. Inside the park, there are many people who jog and walk. The trail is very well-made. There is also a beautiful pond in the middle of the trail. Besides, I can enjoy the music echoing from the park whenever I go there.

2. 공원가기2 (공원에서 하는 일)
What is a typical day at the park like from beginning to end?

- Okidoki, Eva, I am pretty busy during the week because I spend a lot of time looking for a job these days. So I usually go to a park on weekends. The reason why I go to a park is to go for a walk. Whenever I have problems, so my mind is so complicated, I can refresh my mind while I go for a walk. In the middle of walking, I do stretch my body to be flexible. After that, I drop by a coffee shop that is near the park. The name doesn't ring a bell right now. I'm pretty sure coffee is so tasty.

3. 공원가기3 (예상하지 못했던 일)
Were and when did it occur? What were you doing at the time?

- Okay, Eva. It happened actually last year that something interesting happened to me. I was walking alone at 둔산대공원, because I just wanted to feel the rays of the sun. While I was walking in this park, someone followed me for around 30 mins. And then, he asked me out. Oh my gash, Eva!. My heart was so pounding and I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I just said "Yes" in a trembling voice. You know what? Actually, it turned out that he was a jerk. He asked my number, because he wanted me to go to his church, you know? I thought the reason he approached was to ask me out. So, I just told him that I go to another church, then he just left on me. Well, it was memorable, Eva. Because he was pretty good-looking, you know? My heart still pounds if I picture his face.

My younger brother is in University. He is very hectic for studies. He gets scholarship every semester. Isn't he so cool?
