I remember when it snowed a few days ago. I was walking down the stairs in front of my apartment. There was snow on the stairs and it was very slippery. I tried to be as careful as I can but I slipped and fell down. I fell on my back and hands. It was very painful. I didn't break a bone or anything, but I sprained my wrist. I went to the doctor to get it checked. I had to put a bandage around it to make it heal faster. I also pulled a muscle in my back and it hurt whenever I moved. I was able to walk around but couldn't run or work out for almost two weeks. Ever since, I always try to be extra careful not to slip when it snows.
눈길에 미끄러진 경험에 대해 이야기해 주세요.
며칠 전 눈이 왔던 때가 기억납니다. 아파트 앞 계단을 내려가고 있었습니다. 계단에 눈이 있었고 아주 미끄러웠습니다. 저는 최대한 조심하려고 했지만 미끄러져 넘어졌습니다. 뒤로 넘어지며 손을 짚었습니다. 매우 아팠습니다. 뼈가 부러지거나 하지는 않았지만 손목을 삐었습니다. 병원에 가서 검사를 받았습니다. 빨리 낫기 위해서 붕대를 감아야 했습니다. 또한 허리 쪽 근육이 늘어나서 움직일 때마다 아팠습니다. 걸어다닐 수는 있었지만 거의 2주 동안 뛰거나 운동을 하지는 못했습니다. 그 이후로는 눈이 올 때 특히 더 미끄러지지 않으려고 애를 씁니다.
