1. 1

   B 엄마, 와서 봐! 내가 꿈꾸는 동네 다 만들었어. 내일 학교에 가져가야 돼.

   Eomma, waseo bwa! Naega kkumkkuneun dongne da mandeureosseo. Naeil hakgyoe gajyeogaya dwae.

   Mom, come look! I finished my dream neighbourhood. I have to take it to school tomorrow.

   A 와, 이게 다 택배 상자로 만든 모형이야? 아기자기하게 정말 잘 만들었는걸.

   Wa, ige da taekbae sangjaro mandeun mohyeongiya? Agijagihage jeongmal jal mandeureonneungeol.

   Wow, you made this whole model out of delivery boxes? It's so cute, you did a really good job.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 이건 우리 학교고, 이건 아파트, 여기는 떡볶이 가게랑 장난감 가게야.

   Igeon uri hakgyogo, igeon apateu, yeogineun tteokbokki gagerang jangnangam gageya.

   This is our school, these are the apartments, and here's the tteokbokki shop and the toy shop.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 가게가 가까우니까 편하겠다. 그런데 사람들은 차를 어디에 세워? 주차장이 안 보이는걸.

   Gagega gakkaunikka pyeonhagetda. Geureonde saramdeureun chareul eodie sewo? Juchajangi an boineungeol.

   Having shops close by is handy. But where do people park their cars? I don't see a parking lot.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 아, 주차장을 깜빡했다. 그냥 길에 세우면 안 돼?

   A, juchajangeul kkamppakaetda. Geunyang gire seumyeon an dwae?

   Oh, I forgot the parking lot. Can't they just park on the street?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 길에 차가 줄줄이 서 있으면 버스도 못 지나가고, 길을 건너는 아이들도 운전자 눈에 잘 안 보여.

   Gire chaga juljuri seo isseumyeon beoseudo mot jinagago, gireul geonneoneun aideuldo unjeonja nune jal an boyeo.

   If cars are lined up along the street, buses can't get through, and drivers can't see the kids crossing.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그럼 아파트 밑에 지하 주차장을 만들면 되겠다. 상자를 하나 더 밑에 깔까?

   Geureom apateu mite jiha juchajangeul mandeulmyeon doegetda. Sangjareul hana deo mite kkalkka?

   Then I'll make an underground car park under the apartments. Should I put another box underneath?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 오, 기발한데? 그리고 놀이터는 어디 있어?

   O, gibalhande? Geurigo noriteoneun eodi isseo?

   Oh, clever! And where's the playground?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 여기! 큰길 바로 옆이야. 학교 끝나면 바로 갈 수 있잖아.

   Yeogi! Keungil baro yeopiya. Hakgyo kkeunnamyeon baro gal su itjana.

   Here! Right next to the main road. That way you can go straight there after school.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 음, 그런데 공이 굴러가서 찻길로 나가면 어떡해? 아이들이 공 잡으러 뛰어나가다가 사고가 날 수도 있잖아.

    Eum, geureonde gongi gulleogaseo chatgillo nagamyeon eotteokae? Aideuri gong jabeureo ttwieonagadaga sagoga nal sudo itjana.

    Hmm, but what if a ball rolls out into the road? Kids could run out after it and get hit.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 아, 그렇네. 그럼 울타리를 치면 되지 않아?

    A, geureonne. Geureom ultarireul chimyeon doeji ana?

    Oh, right. Then can't I just put up a fence?

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 울타리도 좋지만, 아예 차가 안 다니는 곳으로 옮기면 더 안전하지 않을까? 아파트 단지 한복판 같은 데 말이야.

    Ultarido jochiman, aye chaga an danineun goseuro omgimyeon deo anjeonhaji aneulkka? Apateu danji hanbokpan gateun de mariya.

    A fence is good, but wouldn't it be even safer to move it somewhere cars don't go at all? Like right in the middle of the apartment complex.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 거기는 나무를 심으려고 했는데. 공원이 있어야 어른들도 산책하잖아.

    Geogineun namureul simeuryeogo haenneunde. Gongwoni isseoya eoreundeuldo sanchaekajana.

    I was going to plant trees there. There has to be a park so grown-ups can go for walks.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그럼 둘을 합치면 되지. 어른들한테는 공원인 동시에 아이들한테는 놀이터가 되는 곳. 어때?

    Geureom dureul hapchimyeon doeji. Eoreundeulhanteneun gongwonin dongsie aideulhanteneun noriteoga doeneun got. Eottae?

    Then combine the two. A place that's a park for grown-ups and a playground for kids at the same time. How about that?

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 오, 좋아! 나무 사이에 미끄럼틀을 놓으면 되겠다. 그럼 할머니들도 벤치에 앉아서 우리 노는 거 볼 수 있어.

    O, joa! Namu saie mikkeureomteureul noeumyeon doegetda. Geureom halmeonideuldo benchie anjaseo uri noneun geo bol su isseo.

    Oh, I like it! I can put the slide between the trees. Then grandmas can sit on the benches and watch us play.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 그렇지. 그리고 학교에서 놀이터까지 오는 길은 어떻게 할까?

    Geureochi. Geurigo hakgyoeseo noriteokkaji oneun gireun eotteoke halkka?

    Exactly. And what about the way from school to the playground?

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 큰길을 건너야 되는데... 아, 육교를 만들까? 아니면 땅 밑으로 가는 길?

    Keungireul geonneoya doeneunde... a, yukgyoreul mandeulkka? Animyeon ttang miteuro ganeun gil?

    You have to cross the main road... Oh, should I make a footbridge? Or a tunnel under the road?

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 둘 다 좋은데, 요즘은 계단이 힘든 어르신이나 휠체어 탄 사람들을 위해서 그냥 횡단보도를 만드는 동네가 많아.

    Dul da joeunde, yojeumeun gyedani himdeun eoreusinina hwilcheeo tan saramdeureul wihaeseo geunyang hoengdanbodoreul mandeuneun dongnega mana.

    Both are good, but these days a lot of neighbourhoods just put in a crosswalk, for older people who find stairs hard and for people in wheelchairs.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 그럼 횡단보도랑 신호등을 만들고, 차가 천천히 가게 과속 방지턱도 만들래.

    Geureom hoengdanbodorang sinhodeungeul mandeulgo, chaga cheoncheonhi gage gwasok bangjiteokdo mandeullae.

    Then I'll make a crosswalk and traffic lights, and a speed bump so cars slow down.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 우리 아들, 도시 계획 전문가 다 됐네. 차는 천천히 다니는 동시에 사람은 마음 놓고 걷는 동네구나. 선생님이 칭찬하시겠는걸.

    Uri adeul, dosi gyehoek jeonmunga da dwaenne. Chaneun cheoncheonhi danineun dongsie sarameun maeum noko geonneun dongneguna. Seonsaengnimi chingchanhasigenneungeol.

    Look at you, a real city planner. A neighbourhood where cars go slowly and people can walk without worrying. Your teacher's going to love it.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 근데 엄마, 상자가 모자라. 택배 좀 더 시켜 주면 안 돼?

    Geunde eomma, sangjaga mojara. Taekbae jom deo sikyeo jumyeon an dwae?

    But Mom, I've run out of boxes. Can't you order a few more deliveries?

    Line 21
