입트영(2020.06.09) - Raising Twins / 쌍둥이 육아
POSTED AT 2020. 6. 9. 06:00 | POSTED IN STUDY/ENGLISH

1. Are twins getting more common these days? Why do you think so?
2. What are some good gifts to give parents of twins?
3. Do you have or plan to have kids? Would you like to have twins? Why or why not?


SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about what it's like to raise twins.
쌍둥이 육아가 어떤지에 대해서 이야기해 주세요.



[Response]

My husband and I never dreamed that we would have twins. When we planned our family, we only hoped for one child, so we were taken by surprise.
As newborns, twins need to be given baby formula every two hours. Sometimes, my husband and I couldn't get a wink of sleep. The babies often threw up, so we had to give them two or three baths on some days. They are past their first birthday now, so we can at least get some shuteye at night.
Raising twins, I can see why people say there is no end to childcare. As time passes, I am learning to be patient whenever the kids act up. I manage my stress by setting aside some time for myself every day.


[해석]

나와 남편은 쌍둥이를 낳을 거라고는 상상도 못했다. 가족계획을 세울 때 아이 한 명만 생각하던 우리에게는 깜짝 놀랄 만한 일이었다.
쌍둥이들이 신생아일 때는 두 시간마다 분유를 줘야 해서 나와 남편이 잠을 한숨도 못 잔 적도 있었다. 아기들이 구토를 자주 해서 목욕을 하루에 두세 번이나 시켰던 날도 있었다. 쌍둥이들이 이제 돌이 지나면서, 우리도 그나마 밤에 잠을 잘 수 있게 됐다.
쌍둥이들을 키우면서, 육아는 끝이 없다는 말을 이해하게 되었다. 시간이 지날수록 아이들이 떼를 쓸 때마다 엄마로서 인내심을 기르는 중이다. 그리고 매일 잠깐이라도 나만을 위한 시간을 내서 스트레스를 관리하고 있다.
