학교 가는 길

“얼른 일어나야지!” 더 자고 싶었지만, 기지개를 쭉 펴고 나서 벌떡 일어났어요.

“I have to get up early!” Even though she wanted to sleep more, she stretched out her arms, got up, and quickly got out of bed.

양치질과 세수를 하고 머리를 빗고 옷을 갈아입고, 아침밥을 맛있게 먹었어요.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face, combed her hair and changed her clothes, then ate a delicious breakfast.

알림장을 펴고 준비물을 챙겼어요. “학교 다녀오겠습니다.” 아빠한테 인사를 하고 현관문을 나섰어요.

She opened her notebook and packed her supplies. “I’m off to school.” She greeted her dad and stepped out the front door.

정원의 개나리꽃을 보며 인사했어요. “학교 갔다 올게.” 너무 아쉬웠지만, 꽃길을 따라 걸어갔어요.

She greeted the forsythia flowers in the garden. “I’ll be back from school.” Although she felt sad, she walked along the flower path.

앞집 할머니와 강아지 만두가 보여요. “안녕하세요, 할머니.” “얼른 가야지. 학교 늦겠다.” “네, 다녀오겠습니다. 만두야 갔다 올게.”

She saw the grandmother next door and her dog, Mandu. “Hello, Grandma.” “You’d better hurry. You’ll be late for school.” “Yes, I’m off. See you later, Mandu.”

큰길로 나가 차들이 쌩쌩 달리는 네거리에 닿았어요. 녹색 어머니 당번인 현주 엄마를 만났어요. “안녕하세요, 아줌마!”

She reached a busy intersection where cars zoomed by. She met Hyunju’s mom, who was on duty as a crossing guard. “Hello, ma’am!”

파란 신호등이 켜지자, 아줌마가 웃으며 호루라기를 불었어요. 앞을 잘 보고, 장난도 안 치고, 얼른 횡단보도를 건넜어요.

When the green light turned on, the lady smiled and blew her whistle. She looked ahead carefully, didn’t play around, and quickly crossed the crosswalk.

교문에 나와 계신 학교 보안관 아저씨께 인사했어요. “안녕하세요?” 정글짐 옆을 지나 운동장을 가로질러서 학교 안으로 들어가요.

She greeted the school security guard standing by the gate. “Hello?” She passed by the jungle gym and crossed the playground to go into the school.

교실에 들어서며 친구들에게 인사해요. “얘들아, 안녕?”

As she entered the classroom, she greeted her friends. “Hi, everyone!”
