(입트영) Car Accident Experience

Car Accident Experience(Feb 20, 2013) 

Last week I almost got into a car accident. And this wasn’t just a fender-bender. I was on the Hannam Bridge when a motorcycle suddenly cut in front of me.. The next thing I saw was the car in front of me stopped abruptly. The motorcycle collided into it.

slammed on my brackes. Luckily, I didn’t hit him. He fell off his bike and was lying on the road. I got out of my car to make sure he wasn’t injured. The man in the car he hit scrambled to him as well. He was pretty shaken up. I told them they should exchange insurance information. I offered to take the motorcyclist to the hospital but he said he just had some scratches.


Pattern Practice
We almost won the contract
She almost missed the bus.
She almost broke up with her boyfriend

It is really rude to cut in line
I told her that she couldn’t cut in front of us
The old woman cut her way to the front of the line

He was abruptly woken up in the night
She abruptly stopped my speech

Can you make sure the light is turned off?
Make sure he does his duty?

He was pretty shaken up
The dog was shaken up by the lightning
We were pretty shaken up after the burglary
We were all shaken up after seeing the horror movie

You should have offered to pay for dinner
I offered to give him a ride


expression of the Day
Where is your car? How did you get here?
By bus, I totaled my car last night
Oh my God. Are you alright?
I’m fine. I’m sad about my car though.
