Can anyone help me translate these paragraphs into Korean ??? (Best one gets 10 Points!!!)?

2. How many bowls of rice-cake soup (??) did you have?



Special food is prepared for each holiday. New Year's Day is celebrated with rice-cake soup (??). The coin-shaped rice cakes are cooked in beef broth. In Korea, counting age (often called ?? ??) begins at birth: you are one year old when you are born and you become one year older each New Year's Day. People commonly use Korean age reckoning, except for official purposes, when the Western method of counting age is used. Since age is closely associated with New Year's Day and with rice-cake soup, ? ?? ? ?? ???? now has the extended meaning 'How old are you?'



3. Holiday games



On New Year's Day people enjoy games like ?, seesawing, and kite-flying. While outdoor activities are not as common as they once were, indoor games are still popular. One popular indoor game is ??, which was introduced to Korea during the Japanese occupation. ?? is played with with a deck of forty-eight cards, with four cards representing each of the twelve months.



??? has a very old history dating back to the Three Kingdoms period, when people used it to find out their fortune for the year. It is played with four wooden sticks that are flat on one side and round on the other. These sticks are tossed in the air and the moves are determined by how the sticks land:



one flat side up: ? (one move)

two flat sides up: ? (two moves)

three flat sides up: ? (three moves)

four flat sides up: ? (four moves and an extra turn)

five round sides up: ? (five moves and an extra turn)



The players' horses (?) travel on the ? board.



4. How to wear hanbok



Traiditional hanbok for formal occasions were strictly differentiated by color and type. Men normally wore pants, a jacket, a vest, and magoja indoors, and put on a turumagi, or coat, and a horsehair hat when going out. Women's hanbok requires multiple layers of underwear. For daily wear, women generally put on six different undergarments beneath the skirt. First comes a slip, bloomers, underwear, long drawers, wide pants, and an underskirt, and then the outer skirt is put on. In addition, an undershirt and a waistband are worn beneath the outer jacket. For ceremonial wear, women wore an undershirt, an underjacket, and an outer jacket and two additional ruffled underskirts for a more voluminous look.



Present-day Koreans, both males and females, now omit one or more of the traditional garments when wearing Hanbok.Can anyone help me translate these paragraphs into Korean ??? (Best one gets 10 Points!!!)?
Not only aren't you doing your own homework, you're plagiarizing the English that you're asking someone else to translate (this textbook: http://books.google.com/books?id=DUmzbH6… ).

Or maybe I'm being too harsh...maybe your homework is to translate the textbook text? I apologize if I've been mean, accusing you of plagiarism when all you're doing is getting someone else to do your homework.

Isn't Korean an elective? Or are you being forced to take a Korean class even though you really don't want to?

UPDATE: Here's something interesting: Sarah K asks for 5 differences between Korean and US Thanksgiving. She got an answer in English. Then she asks for someone to translate those five differences into Korean....
