Question 51

Informal Message

Writing Prompt

지민아, 안녕?
이번 주 토요일에 만나기로 했는데 갑자기 일이 생겨서 못 만날 것 같아.
미안하지만 다음 주로 ㉠____________?
대신 내가 저녁을 살게.
답장 ㉡____________.

㉠ 미룰 수 있을까 (Can we postpone it?)
— Informal question form, appropriate since this is a message between friends.
Alternatives like “바꿀 수 있을까” (can we change it) are also acceptable.

㉡ 기다릴게 (I’ll be waiting.)
— Common closing for informal texts requesting a reply. “부탁해” (please)
is also acceptable, but the register must stay casual (반말) throughout,
matching the rest of the message.
