영희는 오늘 아침 시장에 가기로 했어요. 그녀는 시장에서 과일과 채소를 살 계획이에요.
시장에 도착하자, 많은 사람들이 있었습니다. 영희는 사과, 배, 그리고 당근을 골랐어요. 그런데 갑자기 비가 오기 시작했어요.
영희는 빨리 가게로 들어갔지만, 그곳에는 시장 가격보다 조금 더 비싼 과일들이 있었어요. 고민 끝에 영희는 비싸지만 좋은 과일을 샀어요.
비가 그친 후, 영희는 집에 가서 과일을 깨끗이 씻고 맛있게 먹었어요. 오늘 시장에서의 경험은 조금 어려웠지만, 즐거운 하루였답니다.

Question 1 of 3
Notice the language
Use X지만 Y to show contrast, like 'X, but Y.' It connects two ideas when both are true, but the second idea is different or surprising. You can reuse it with adjectives and short clauses. Example: 비싸지만 좋은 과일을 샀어요. This means 'I bought fruit that was expensive but good.' You will see this pattern often in simple Korean.
비싸지만 좋은 과일을 샀어요.
