Talk about a playground you used to play at when you were a kid.
어렸을 때 놀았던 놀이터에 대해 이야기해 주세요.

[Response]

I remember living in an apartment when I was a kid. There was a playground right in front of my apartment building. I used to play there all the time with my friends. We used to play in the sand or go on rides such as swings or slides. I also played tag or soccer sometimes. Plus, I rode my bike there as well. I remember falling down and hurting myself at that playground on several occasions. But overall, most of the memories I have about that playground are pleasant ones.

[해석]

어렸을 때 아파트에 살았던 기억이 난다. 우리 아파트 건물 바로 앞에 놀이터가 있었다. 거기서 친구들과 항상 놀곤 했다. 모래에서 놀거나 그네나 미끄럼틀 같은 놀이 기구를 탔다. 가끔은 술래잡기를 하거나 축구도 했다. 또한 거기서 자전거도 탔다. 그 놀이터에서 몇 번 넘어져서 다쳤던 기억도 난다. 그렇지만 그 놀이터에 대한 기억은 대부분 좋은 추억으로 남아있다.
