(`Dec.4th.2011)`Hi, everyone, how are you all?This time, I'd like to briefly write about a dinner that I had with my friend.After she graduated from university, she worked as a physical therapist for more than 20 years. (=Since she graduated from university, she worked as a physical therapist for about 25 years.)She retired early, then studied counseling and is now working as a counselor at a middle school. It's really not an easy thing. Even though she's older now, through continued learning, she has always been able to do her own work which she loves.She seems to be someone who always strives for personal growth.We were both busy, so we weren't able to meet. // We were both busy, so we were never able to meet. Today, it suddenly occurred to me that we could meet, so I called her and asked: "Do you want to meet and have coffee this afternoon?"Besides, a nice and spacious coffee place had (just) opened across the street from my house.I wanted to give it a try. I have been wondering what that café is like. So we decided to have a chat there. // So we decided to meet and talk there. After a while, my son also joined us.We were unaware that it was already dark outside as we were engrossed in our conversation.=While we talked to each other, we lost track of time.
She said that she would buy us dinner, so we went to eat roasted pork ribs. I guess it's my turn to buy her dinner next time.
I took it while crossing the road yesterday.

"I wanted to give it a try. I had been wondering what that café was like, so we decided to meet and have a chat there. "

- I changed it to "had" and "was", because it's about what you were thinking yesterday, not now.

After a while, my son also joined us. We were unaware that it was already dark outside, as we were so engrossed in our conversation, that we lost track of time.

"So.....,that" is a useful construction, for example:
It was so dark, that we couldn't see anything.
We laughed so much, that our sides hurt!

Even though she's older now, through continued learning, she has always been able to do her own work which she loves.
She seems to be someone who always strives for personal growth.We were both busy, so we weren't able to meet.

(2011.12.4) 和朋友的晚餐
大家好!今天我想简单的写写我和朋友的晚餐。(现在我想简单地写写关于今天我和朋友的晚餐的事情。)我有一个朋友,她大学毕业后在医院里做了25年的物理疗法[wù lǐ liáo fǎ]师。]( , 她是一位在医院里工作了25年的物理疗法 [wù lǐ liáo fǎ]师。)

然后她自愿退休,开始学心里咨询,最近又开始在学校做心里咨询工作。她退休后再开始学心理学,最近开始在学校以心理咨询师工作。我觉得这很不容易的。她年纪大了,但她一直努力学习,努力做得到自己想做的事情。( 但一直在努力学习,继续努力能做自己想做的事情。)就这样,因此可以说她是个努力发展自己的人。(她是个很上进的一个人。)
最近她很忙,我也很忙,于是我们好长时间没有见面。(最近我和她都很忙, 于是我们很久没有见面。)

今天中午我偶然想起她来,所以/于是/因此我就给她打了电话问问,如果今天她有空的话聚一聚。在我家对面,最近新开了一家又大又好的咖啡厅,所以我想去一次那家咖啡厅,想知道那儿的气氛怎么样。趁这个机会我想在那儿跟她聊一聊。我和她在那儿碰面,还有我的儿子也来了。于是我们一直聊,却没有注意到窗外都变黑了。就这样天黑后,我朋友说今晚的饭她请。(我朋友建议,今天由她来请客。)哈哈。。。。于是这次她请了我和我的儿子,我们一起吃了烤猪排。那,好的!我打算下次请她呢。

(2011.12.4) 친구와 저녁을../
모두 안녕하세요? 오늘은 친구와 저녁을 먹은 이야기를 간단하게 써 보겠습니다.
그 친구는 대학을 졸업한 뒤 병원에서 물리 치료사로 약 25년간 일을 하고, 자의로 퇴직을 한 다음 다시 심리 상담사 공부를 시작하여, 지금은 학교에서 심리 상담사로 일하고 있습니다. 이는 정말 그리 쉬운 일이 아니지요. 나이는 많이 먹었지만, 꾸준히 노력하여 본인이 하고 싶은 일을 하게 된 것입니다. 이렇게 그 친구는 자신의 발전을 위해 쉬지 않고 노력하는 친구입니다.요즘 그 친구도 바빴고 저도 바빠서 우리들은 만날 시간이 없었습니다. 그런데 오늘 우연히 그 친구 생각이 나서 전화를 한 번 해 보았습니다. '오늘 시간 있으면 우리 얼굴 한번 볼까?' 라고 물어 보았지요. 마침, 우리 집 건너편에 넓고 좋은 까페가 생겨서 한번 가보고 싶었습니다. 그 집 분위기가 어떤지 궁금했거든요. 그래서 우리는 이번 기회에 그 까페에서 얘기를 나눌까 했습니다. 그런데 잠시 후 우리 아들도 왔습니다.우리들은 수다를 떨다 보니 창밖이 어두워진 것도 미쳐 몰랐습니다. 날이 어두워지자 내 친구는 나와 아들에게 저녁을 사겠다고 해서, 우리들은 돼지갈비 구이를 먹었습니다. 그러면, 다음엔 제가 그 친구에게 식사 대접을 해야겠지요?Korean Audio-> http://audioboo.fm/boos/672186-111204-korean-2011-12-4-a-dinner-with-my-good-friend.mp3
