오픽 (OPIc) 배경설문 주제 (6) - 카페 및 커피 전문점 가기

오픽 배경설문 여섯 번째 시리즈입니다. 

 

카페 및 커피 전문점 가기에 대한 주제입니다. 사실 cafe는 cafeteria의 줄임말로

한국에서는 커피숍을 카페라고 많이 칭하지만 식사도 함께 파는 곳을 cafe라고 하지요.

이 질문은 사실 커피 전문점 가기라고 칭하는 게 맞을 것 같습니다. 

 

요즘은 남녀노소 할 것 없이 커피를 많이 마시기도 하고 꼭 커피가 아니더라도

다양한 음료를 주문할 수 있기 때문에 어린이들도 찾을 수 있는 것 같아요. 

커피전문점 가기에 대한 오픽 질문 답변해 보도록 하겠습니다.
