   A 교수님, 인턴 문제로 여쭤볼 게 있어서 왔어요.

   Gyosunim, inteon munjero yeojjwobol ge isseoseo wasseoyo.

   Professor Han, I came to ask your advice about an internship.

   B 네, 우진 씨. 앉아요. 어디에 지원했어요?

   Ne, Ujin ssi. Anjayo. Eodie jiwonhaesseoyo?

   Sure, Woojin. Have a seat. Where did you apply?

3. 3

   A 두 군데 지원했는데 다 붙었어요. 하나는 작은 스타트업이고, 하나는 대기업이에요.

   Du gunde jiwonhaenneunde da buteosseoyo. Hananeun jageun seutateueobigo, hananeun daegieobieyo.

   I applied to two places and got into both. One's a small startup and the other's a big company.

   B 축하해요! 근데 표정을 보니까 고민이 많은가 봐요.

   Chukhahaeyo! Geunde pyojeongeul bonikka gomini maneunga bwayo.

   Congratulations! But judging by your face, you're torn.

   A 네. 졸업이 다 되어 가니까 이번 선택이 중요한 것 같아서요.

   Ne. Joreobi da doeeo ganikka ibeon seontaegi jungyohan geot gataseoyo.

   Yes. I'm about to graduate, so this choice feels important.

   B 우진 씨는 인턴을 하면서 뭘 제일 배우고 싶어요?

   Ujin ssineun inteoneul hamyeonseo mwol jeil baeugo sipeoyo?

   What do you most want to learn from the internship?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 음... 전공을 살려서 앱을 처음부터 끝까지 만들어 보고 싶어요.

   Eum... jeongongeul sallyeoseo aebeul cheoeumbuteo kkeutkkaji mandeureo bogo sipeoyo.

   Um... I'd like to put my major to use and build an app from start to finish.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 그럼 스타트업이 더 맞을 수도 있어요. 작은 회사에서는 이것저것 직접 해 볼 수 있거든요.

   Geureom seutateueobi deo majeul sudo isseoyo. Jageun hoesaeseoneun igeotjeogeot jikjeop hae bol su itgeodeunyo.

   Then a startup might suit you better. At a small company, you get to try lots of different things yourself.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그런데 저는 혼자 조용히 일하는 편이에요. 스타트업은 회의가 많다고 들었어요.

   Geureonde jeoneun honja joyonghi ilhaneun pyeonieyo. Seutateueobeun hoeuiga mantago deureosseoyo.

   But I tend to work quietly on my own. I've heard startups have lots of meetings.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 회사마다 달라요. 그리고 대기업은 인턴한테 복사만 시키는 경우도 있어요.

    Hoesamada dallayo. Geurigo daegieobeun inteonhante boksaman sikineun gyeongudo isseoyo.

    It depends on the company. And some big companies just have interns make photocopies.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 아, 그건 생각 못 했어요. 부모님은 무조건 대기업에 가라고 하시는데요.

    A, geugeon saenggak mot haesseoyo. Bumonimeun mujogeon daegieobe garago hasineundeyo.

    Oh, I hadn't thought of that. My parents keep telling me to pick the big company, no matter what.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 부모님 마음도 이해해요. 그래도 결정은 우진 씨 몫이에요.

    Bumonim maeumdo ihaehaeyo. Geuraedo gyeoljeongeun Ujin ssi moksieyo.

    I understand how your parents feel. But in the end, it's your decision.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 네, 스타트업에서 일하는 선배한테 연락해 볼게요. 감사합니다, 교수님.

    Ne, seutateueobeseo ilhaneun seonbaehante yeollakae bolgeyo. Gamsahamnida, gyosunim.

    Okay, I'll get in touch with an older student who works at a startup. Thank you, Professor Han.
