# 1

 

  Sook : Excuse me, but I wonder if you can give me a hand.
  Kyu   : Sure.  What is it?
  Sook : I don't know how to use this machine.  Could you help me?

  Sook : Like this?
  Kyu   : That's it.
  Sook : There are so many things I have to learn on the job.

  Kyu   : I wonder if we're allowed to take pictures here?
  Sook : I'm afraid not.  Taking pictures is not allowed in this museum.
  Kyu   : Why not?  All I want is to have some pictures of the beautiful paintings.
  Sook : If that's what you want, why don't you buy yourself a printed collection of paintings?
  Kyu   : I see.
