Describe a risk you have taken
which had a positive result
You should say:
What it was
Why you took it
What the result was
And how you felt about it
I would like to talk about the time I decided to take a year off from school.
During the last semester, I was so overwhelmed and exhausted (여기도 이전 것과 비슷합니다. 사전 들어보시면 되긴 하는데, 크게 중요치는 않아요.) by a huge amount of studies. My friends recommended me to take a gap year. But I was unsure about it because I’ve always been a hard worker and wasn’t used to taking a break. Also, I was worried that if I take a break, I could fall behind my peers. When I told people that I wanted to take time off from school, everyone asked me “then how will you spend your time productively? You know that graduating from university later than others could be disadvantageous (여기도 사전 들어보시면 돼요.) when you look for a job?” Those kinds of words made me really concerned and reluctant to make a choice. However, by the end of the semester, I had suffered badly from the lack of sleep. So I finally decided to take a risk and have some time to rest.
And that decision turned out as
one of the best choices I’ve ever made. During this year, I could finally rest
and do various things I have delayed because of my busy schedule. I’ve started to
work out regularly[reh·gyuh·luh·lee] and I’ve been reading a lot of books and
painting pictures a lot. These activities have helped me become healthier both in physical
and mental ways. In addition, I’ve developed my English language skills for my
application as an exchange student. If I hadn’t made this choice, I would have been
burned out.
[6.0 / 11월 첫째주 시험 / 스크립트 공부 후 키워드만 보고 녹음: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnC5oscrqgmnozod1HtDy4gypimv?e=z96ZeT]
good decision에 대한 스크립트를 활용해서 스크립트를 만들어보았습니다.
휴학이 take a risk한 경험이라고 하기에는 너무 소소한? 거 같아서 나름대로 take a risk였다고 생각한 이유들을 최대한 넣긴 했는데 topic에 맞는 주제인지 확신이 안 서네요ㅠㅠ
주제에 맞습니다~참고로 스피킹의 경우 라이팅과는 달리 학생들이 작정하고 일부러 오프토픽 내지 않는 이상 웬만하면 노선이탈이 없으니까 걱정 마세요!
항상 첨삭 감사합니다 :)
총평: 표현이나 발음 등은, 특히 전자에서는 크게 문제 없었습니다. 사실 이것만으로도 6.0은 웬만하면 확보하실 거에요. 정말 극도로 버벅거리는 경우를 제외하면요. 그리고 여기서 이제 전달력이 얼마나 매끄럽냐, 얼마나 외운 티를 덜 내냐 등에 따라 점수가 결정되는데, 이를 대비하기 위해 꼭 사람 앞에서 말씀해주세요! (아마 지금 녹음본도 중간에 웃으려고 하신 부분 등을 통해 보면, 누구 앞에서 연습하신 것 같긴 하네요.)
수고하셨습니다 :)
