[ebs 입트영] 쌍둥이 관련 영어표현 ; Raising Twins(쌍둥이 육아)

주변에 쌍둥이 친구가 있으신가요?

저는 초등학생 때 딱 한번 쌍둥이 친구들이 있었어요.

멀리서 보면 전혀 구분이 되질 않았고, 가까이서 봐야 누가 누군지 알 수 있었습니다. ㅎㅎㅎ

쌍둥이 친구들은 옷과 가방 등 물건들도 똑같은 것을 들고 다니는 경우도 많아서 더 구분이 힘들었던 것 같아요.

나와 제일 닮은 또 다른 생명체, 제가 쌍둥이 였다면 어떤 기분이었을까요.

1. Are twins getting more common these days? Why do you think so?

 

I don't have chance to see twins thesedays, and it can tell us that twins are getting uncommon these days.

It it becuase of the decrease of couples who are getting marride?

Or even if they get married, they have no child or only child.

I think this leads the low chance of having twins these days.

When I recall my childhood, I sometimes had friends who were twins.

However nowadays, there must be less twins I could find.

 

 

2. What are some good gifts to give parents of twins?

 

I think they wouldn't like the things which are in the same such as clothes, bags or shoes.

They might have given those kinds of gifts far too many, I suppose.

I think... money will be the best gift for them! haha

It must take a lot of money to raise twins, so the gift money can be the answer.

We don't know exactly what the parents and their children want.

If it feels a little uncomfortable to give them real money, it can be replaced with gift card!

The family who has twins must buy more food than other families, so you can give them food gift cards.

 

 

3. Do you have or plan to have kids? Would you like to have twins? Why or why not?

 

I don't even know if I want to get marride!

Having a child is the next issue after me getting marride.

Well... if I am married in the future, I think I would like to have my kids at least two or three.

As an oldest and having two siblings, I think it's kind of fun to take along to my siblings from time to time.

Also, I like to talk to my mother and father as an adult, and they are a good listener as well as a good adviser.

Like them, I also want to have my son or daugther who can always be on my side.

Maybe I have some fantagy of rasing a child so far.
