Kyu : What's the matter with you, Sook? You look upset.
Sook : I just found out the result of the midterm[중간고사] and it was awful. [지독한(very bad)]
Kyu : I'm sorry to hear that.
Sook : I should have studied harder. What should I do now?
My mother will be really disappointed.
Kyu : Don't take it so hard. I'm sure you'll do better next time.
Sook : Well, I'm not sure. Studying is not my cup of tea. [내 취향이 아니야]
Kyu : Cheer up. And feel free to ask me, if you need any help.
Sook : All right. It's very good of you to say so.
