9/23 Studio Apartment

Talk about a studio apartment you used to live in.

I used to live in studio when I was in college. Because my family lived far from my school, I had to move out and live by myself. Many of my classmates lived in similar studios like that. The studio I used to live in was just the right size for me. It wasn't that big, but it had everything I needed including a bathroom with a shower booth. In fact, it was a partly-furnished studio. Things like the washer and the fridge were built into the walls. I had to buy my own desk and bed among other things. I paid a monthly rent while I was living there.

@ Speaking Tips: partly-furnished vs. fully-furnished

가구가 일부 갖춰진 vs. 가구가 완비된

partly-furnished는 부분적으로 가구가 갖추어져 있다는 말이고, fully-furnished는 가구가 완전히 다 갖추어져 있다는 말이다. 한편, 가구가 하나도 없는 경우, non-furnished라고 한다.

@ Were they fully-furnished?  가구가 완비된 곳들이었어?
