Looking at the seats nearly filling up, it seems close to two hundred came.

Nah, up close they don't look alike at all.
물고기는 몇 마리나 낚았습니까?

두 시간 가까이를 앉아 있었지만 한 마리도 못 낚았습니다.
I sat there for nearly two hours but didn't catch a single one.
저 선수는 몸의 바깥쪽으로 방망이를 휘두르는 힘이 여느 선수와 달라 보입니다.
That player's power swinging the bat to the outside of the body seems different from other players.
어깨가 단단하고 힘이 있어 보이죠?
His shoulders look solid and strong, right?
어디가 아파서 오셨나요?
What brings you in today?
무릎 바깥쪽에 통증이 있어서 왔어요.
I came because of pain on the outside of my knee.
선생님, 이름은 어디에 쓰면 되나요?
Teacher, where should I write my name?
자, 이름은 시험지 위쪽에 쓰고 그 아래쪽에는 답을 쓰도록 하세요.

여기 뒤쪽에서는 무대가 잘 안 보이네.
From back here, I can't see the stage well.

Then do you want to go to the front and watch?
헉, 자동차의 앞쪽이 왜 찌그러진 거야?

집으로 오다가 그만 앞의 차를 들이박았지 뭐야.
I ended up rear-ending the car in front of me on the way home.

These 14 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 7 2급 words in this category — 자리, 가까이, 위치하다, 가까이, 바깥쪽 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.
