   B 지은아, 한 달 동안 인스타 안 한 거 진짜야? 연락이 안 돼서 무슨 일 있는 줄 알았어.

   Jieuna, han dal dongan Inseuta an han geo jinjjaya? Yeollagi an dwaeseo museun il inneun jul arasseo.

   Jieun, is it true you went a whole month without Instagram? I couldn't reach you, so I thought something had happened.

   A 처음 며칠은 손이 자꾸 휴대폰으로 갔어. 근데 앱을 지움으로써 하루에 세 시간이 생긴 거야.

   Cheoeum myeochireun soni jakku hyudaeponeuro gasseo. Geunde aebeul jiumeurosseo harue se sigani saenggin geoya.

   For the first few days, my hand kept reaching for my phone. But by deleting the apps, I got three hours a day back.

   B '지움으로써'? 무슨 발표하냐. 근데 세 시간은 좀 과장 아니야?

   'Jiumeurosseo'? Museun balpyohanya. Geunde se siganeun jom gwajang aniya?

   'By deleting'? What is this, a presentation? And three hours - isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

   A 내 휴대폰 사용 시간 기록 봐. 전에는 하루에 네 시간이었는데 지금은 한 시간도 안 돼.

   Nae hyudaepon sayong sigan girok bwa. Jeoneneun harue ne siganieonneunde jigeumeun han sigando an dwae.

   Look at my screen-time record. I used to spend four hours a day on my phone, and now it's under an hour.

   B 난 인스타로 친구들 소식도 보고 뉴스도 보는데, 끊으면 나만 모를 것 같아.

   Nan Inseutaro chingudeul sosikdo bogo nyuseudo boneunde, kkeuneumyeon naman moreul geot gata.

   I use Instagram to keep up with friends and the news. If I quit, I'd be the only one who doesn't know what's going on.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 나도 그게 걱정이었는데, 진짜 중요한 일은 친구들이 직접 연락해서 알려 주더라.

    Nado geuge geokjeongieonneunde, jinjja jungyohan ireun chingudeuri jikjeop yeollakaeseo allyeo judeora.

    That worried me too, but it turns out that when something really important happens, friends call you themselves.

    Still, I couldn't do it. I've got an account I use for work, too.
