난 유연성이 부족해서 더 이상은 못 숙일 것 같아.
I don't have enough flexibility, so I don't think I can bend any further.

Don't worry. You've been putting in all your effort, so you'll get good results.
승규는 좀 어때? 응급실에 실려갔다며?

No, I think Minjun is stronger than we thought.
선생님께 다시 학교에 나오셔서 강의를 해 주시면 좋겠다고 전해 주세요.
Please tell the professor that we'd love for them to come back and lecture again.
글쎄요. 워낙 고령이신 데다가 건강도 좋지 않으셔서 어려울 것 같습니다.

These 16 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 11 6급 words in this category — 부실하다, 유연성, 활력, 근력, 안간힘 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.
They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
