PART 2

Describe an unusual/ an unforgettable meal

(특별하거나 잊을 수 없는 식사에 관해 묘사)

You should say:

When was it (언제)

Where you had the meal (어디서)

What happened during the meal (식사 중 일어난 일)

And explain why it was unforgettable (이유)

Sample answer

Well, the meal I’ve decided to talk to you about was a farewell dinner of a good friend of mine, because he was about to go off to Canada for a few years to start university there, so he invited a few of his close friends for dinner before heading off.

(캐나다로 유학을 떠나는 친구와의 마지막 식사라 잊을 수 없다는 도입부)

And one of the reasons I’ve chosen to talk about this meal instead of some of the others I’ve been to is simply that it’s still quite fresh in my memory. You know, it was only about a couple of weeks ago when it happened. And it was a really nice restaurant that we went to, definitely one of the best in the city. So I was kind of relieved that it wouldn’t be me footing the bill.

(잊을 수 없는 첫번째 이유: 그 도시에서 최고의 레스토랑에 방문했으며 비용을 부담하지 않음)

Anyway regarding what we ate, well I couldn’t tell you every single dish that we had, because there was just so much, you know, the whole table was covered with food. I mean, there was crab, chicken, duck, what else, um,……oh yeah, shrimps, and, uh…..oh and a whole load of different vegetables. So by the end of it, I was absolutely stuffed.

(두번째 이유: 매우 다양하고 맛있는 음식이 차려졌음을 자세히 묘사)

But anyway, finally, in terms of how I felt about the meal, well to put it simply, I really enjoyed it, because as well as the food, which was fantastic, I really enjoyed everyone’s company. You know, it was great being together with so many good friends, many of which I hadn’t seen in quite a while.

(세번째 이유: 친구들과 모여 매우 즐거운 식사를 했기 때문)

So yeah, all in all, it was a really special evening, and I’m extremely grateful to my friend for his generosity, as the bill must have come to quite a lot.

PART 3

Describe what you think is a healthy diet?

(건강한 다이어트에 관한 생각을 표현)

A good diet includes a variety of foods from the basic food groups. It should provide enough calories to ensure desirable weight and also it should contain all the necessary daily nutrients.

Are there many vegetarians in your country? Why do you think some people choose to be vegetarians?

(당신의 나라에 채식주의자가 많은지, 왜 그들이 채식주의를 선택한다고 생각하는지)

Although I’m not a vegetarian, I still believe it’s good to eat more vegetables and fruit. Some vegetarians eat veggies because they believe animals shouldn’t be killed and some just for the sake of health. I think either reason is worth doing. If we think about how many animals are killed because of our need for meat, we might feel sad for our deeds. When we learn all the benefits that veggies can bring us, we’ll also feel happier to eat them more. 

Is the food that people eat today different to the food that people used to eat in the past? If yes, in what ways has it changed?

(과거와 현재에 사람들이 섭취하는 음식에 차이가 있는지, 있다면 어떤 면에서 변화하였는지.)

In the past, the choices of foods were limited but the foods were fresh and people could rest assured of its quality. So it’s not surprising our ancestors enjoyed greater longevity than us. In the present time, we have chances to taste various foods of different cultures and nationalities, being unique and delicious in their own ways. Even so, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be as there have been many reported cases of food poisoning, especially in developing countries, where food safety is a pressing concern.

Is ‘fast food’ popular in your country?

(당신의 나라에서 패스트푸드가 인기 있는지)

Nowadays, workers have to work extra hours while students have to burn the midnight oil revising and reviewing for their exams. As a consequence of this, they can’t manage time to have a decent meal rich in vitamins and minerals. Instead, they have no choice but go to buy some take-away at some fast food restaurant and then get back to their work and study. So fast foods are gaining in immense popularity because after all, the more developed a country becomes, the less nutritious the citizens’ diet is.

More and more people are becoming overweight nowadays. What do you think might be the causes of this?

(점점 많은 사람들이 과체중이 되고 있는데, 원인이 무엇이라고 생각하는지)

Well to be honest, I would have to admit that the youths nowadays are leading a health-damaging lifestyle because of the fast-paced lifestyle and pressure. To be more precise, workers have to work extra hours while students have to burn the midnight oil revising and reviewing for their exams. As a consequence of this, they can’t manage time to have a decent meal rich in vitamins and minerals. Instead, they have no choice but go to buy some take-away at some fast food restaurant and then get back to their work and study.

Do you or, do people in your country generally prefer to eat at home or eat out?

(당신의 나라에서, 외식과 집에서 밥을 먹는 것 중 어느 것을 주로 선호하는지)

If you ask me, I’d say that by and large, the folks in my nation would show a greater preference for home-cooked meals. The reason behind this is the fact that food safety is quite a pressing issue and people are becoming increasingly aware of their health conditions. As a result, the chances are that they would directly go to the market or supermarket, choose the raw materials and cook the dishes on their own. Having said that, some people are quite up to their ears in work and would rather order a meal at a restaurant instead.

How important do you think it is for members of a family to eat together?

(가족 구성원과의 식사의 중요성에 대해 어떻게 생각하는지)

I have to admit that it’s extremely vital that family members spend their time together at the dinner table. The most obvious explanation for this is that this can strengthen family bonds and help the whole family get on well with one another. To be more specific, during a meal, they can share their stories and trouble in life, receive valuable advice to sort out their problems. At the end of the day, people can build a close-knit family and forget about all the difficulties in their life.

Why do some people not always eat with their family?

(왜 일부 사람들이 그들의 가족과 식사하지 않는지)

I personally feel that a number of factors are responsible for why some people in modern society refuse to have a meal with other family members. One of the reasons is the lack of time caused by increasing pressure from work or study. A case in point is that my high-school friend often spends more than 8 hours a day studying that he can hardly manage any hour for eating with his parents.
