   A 두 분 다 바쁘신데 와 주셔서 고마워요. 올해 방과 후 프로그램 예산이 절반으로 줄었어요.

   Du bun da bappeusinde wa jusyeoseo gomawoyo. Olhae banggwa hu peurogeuraem yesani jeolbaneuro jureosseoyo.

   Thank you both for coming when you're so busy. This year's after-school programme budget has been cut in half.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 절반이요? 작년에도 줄었는데 또요?

   Jeolbaniyo? Jangnyeonedo jureonneunde ttoyo?

   In half? It was cut last year too, and now again?

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 그럼 수업을 몇 개 없애야 되는 거예요?

   Geureom sueobeul myeot gae eopsaeya doeneun geoyeyo?

   So we have to drop some classes?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 네, 지금 예산으로는 코딩 수업하고 독서 모임 중에 하나만 할 수 있어요.

   Ne, jigeum yesaneuroneun koding sueopago dokseo moim junge hanaman hal su isseoyo.

   Yes. With the current budget, we can only run either the coding class or the reading club.

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 코딩 수업은 신청한 학생이 서른 명이 넘어요. 기다리는 학생도 있고요.

   Koding sueobeun sincheonghan haksaengi seoreun myeongi neomeoyo. Gidarineun haksaengdo itgoyo.

   Over thirty students signed up for coding. And there's a waiting list.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 독서 모임은 학생 수는 적지만, 책을 제일 싫어하던 애들이 오는 곳이에요.

   Dokseo moimeun haksaeng suneun jeokjiman, chaegeul jeil sireohadeon aedeuri oneun gosieyo.

   The reading club is smaller, but it's where the kids who used to hate books the most come.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 김 선생님, 그래도 요즘은 코딩이 더 필요하지 않을까요?

   Gim seonsaengnim, geuraedo yojeumeun kodingi deo piryohaji aneulkkayo?

   Ms. Kim, still, isn't coding more important these days?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 박 선생님, 그렇게 말씀하시면 섭섭해요. 저는 제 돈으로 책을 사고도 학교에 돈을 달라고 한 적이 없어요.

   Bak seonsaengnim, geureoke malsseumhasimyeon seopseopaeyo. Jeoneun je doneuro chaegeul sagodo hakgyoe doneul dallago han jeogi eopseoyo.

   Mr. Park, that hurts. I've bought books with my own money and never once asked the school to pay me back.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 자, 두 분 다 진정하세요. 둘 다 좋은 프로그램인 건 저도 알아요.

   Ja, du bun da jinjeonghaseyo. Dul da joeun peurogeuraemin geon jeodo arayo.

   Now, now, both of you, calm down. I know they're both good programmes.

   Line 9
10. 10

    C 그럼 한 주씩 번갈아 가면서 하면 어떨까요? 한 주는 코딩, 한 주는 독서 모임으로요.

    Geureom han jussik beongara gamyeonseo hamyeon eotteolkkayo? Han juneun koding, han juneun dokseo moimeuroyo.

    Then how about taking turns week by week? Coding one week, reading club the next.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 아, 그거 괜찮네요. 그러면 강사비도 반으로 줄고요.

    A, geugeo gwaenchanneyo. Geureomyeon gangsabido baneuro julgoyo.

    Oh, that's a good idea. That way the instructor fees are halved too.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 좋은 생각이에요. 적은 예산이나마 받았으니 다행이에요. 둘 다 없애는 것보다 훨씬 낫죠.

    Joeun saenggagieyo. Jeogeun yesaninama badasseuni dahaengieyo. Dul da eopsaeneun geotboda hwolssin natjyo.

    Good thinking. We did get some budget, small as it is, so that's something. It's much better than cutting both.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 맞아요. 2주에 한 번이나마 애들을 계속 만날 수 있어서 좋네요.

    Majayo. 2jue han beoninama aedeureul gyesok mannal su isseoseo jonneyo.

    Right. I'm glad I can keep seeing the kids, even if it's only every other week.

    Line 13
14. 14

    C 그럼 학부모님들께 보낼 안내문은... 김 선생님이 써 주시면 좋겠네요. 글은 독서 모임 선생님이 제일 잘 쓰시잖아요.

    Geureom hakbumonimdeulkke bonael annaemuneun... gim seonsaengnimi sseo jusimyeon jokenneyo. Geureun dokseo moim seonsaengnimi jeil jal sseusijanayo.

    Then the notice for the parents... it'd be great if you wrote it, Ms. Kim. The reading club teacher's the best writer, after all.

    B 박 선생님, 방금 저한테 일 넘기신 거 맞죠?

    Bak seonsaengnim, banggeum jeohante il neomgisin geo matjyo?

    Mr. Park, did you just hand your work over to me?
