주연: 아, 간단한 음식?
Jooyeon: Ah, simple foods?

경은: 네, 맞아요. 간단한 음식을 먹어요. 안 먹으면 너무 배가 고파요. 저는 어렸을 때부터 항상 아침을 먹었어요. 아침을 먹으면 건강에 좋대요.
Kyeong-eun: Yes, that’s right. I eat simple foods. If I don’t eat, I get really hungry. I have always eaten breakfast, since I was young. They say eating breakfast is good for your health.

주연: 저도 들었어요.
Jooyeon: I’ve heard that, too.
