Look at this headline, Soo Mi.
Wow !! So many people in the United States get divorced !!
Is it the same in Korea?
I don't think so. In Korea some marriages break up, but most couples stay together.

Do people get married young?
Not really. Very few people get married before the age of 20.
Hmm. Do women usually work after they get married?
No, a lot of women stay home and take care of their families. But some work.

Mira este titular, Soo Mi.

¡Vaya! ¡Tanta gente se divorcia en los Estados Unidos!
¿Pasa lo mismo en Corea?
No me parece. En Corea algunos matrimonios terminan pero la mayoría de las parejas permanecen juntas.
¿La gente se casa joven?

Realmente no. Muy pocas personas se casan antes de cumplir los 20.
Hmm. ¿Las mujeres trabajan generalmente después de casarse?
No, muchas mujeres permanecen en su casa y cuidan a sus familias. Pero algunas trabajan.
