10/20 Parents

Talk about your parents.

I used to live with my parents before I got married. I moved out right after getting married. My parents live close by. I see them quite often actually - at least twice a month on average. We call or message each other back and forth quite often. They are very family-oriented and we have a lot of family gatherings. They love to see their grandchildren. They used to come and give us a hand with our children when they were babies. My mon and dad are also quite active despite their age. They like to go hiking and play badminton on a regular basis. I feel grateful to have my parents.

@ Speaking Tips: family-oriented  가정적인

가정에 충실하고 가족애를 중시하는 문화적 성향을 말할 때 영어로는 family-oriented라고 한다. 가족한테 방향을 맞추어져 있다는 의미로 보면 된다.

@ My parents live back home.  부모님께서는 고향에 살고 계셔.
