[EBS입트영 6/25 Tue] Speaking with a Foreigner on the Street / 길에서 만난 외국인과의 대화

25 Tue. 

Speaking with a Foreigner on the Street / 길에서 만난 외국인과의 대화

 

A few days ago, I was out with my mom.

While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, a woman behind me from overseas said, "Excuse me."

She had a tired expression, as if she hadn't received an answer even after talking to several people earlier. 

 

She wanted to take a bus to the train station to catch a train, and she asked if it was the right bus to take. 

However, since the bus she mentioned takes a longer route through the city, I wanted to inform her that another bus with a different number would be a quicker option. 

 

She asked why the other bus was faster, and I tried my best to explain it to her in English. 

I wasn't fully satisfied because what I said didn't seem grammatically correct, and I wondered if  I had conveyed the message properly.

But I saw her board the correct bus, and I felt a quiet sense of satisfaction.
