003（8.0）

All right, let's start. So could you tell me your full name, please?

Hello, my name is Min John Kim, but I prefer to be called by Kimberly, my English name.

Yeah, okay. And are you working, or are you a student?

I'm a student right now. I'm in Kyongyu University in the Department of Tourism and Event Management.

Do you like your major?

I do like my major. It's very interesting. We learn about international conferences and tourism, basically. But my favorite part would be branding and marketing, which is super interesting.

Okay, now we're going to talk about morning time. So do you like getting up early in the morning?

Oh, I am 100% sure a morning person. I would get up at around seven so that I can do my morning routine like yoga and writing journals. So yeah, I'm definitely a morning person.

What did you do in the morning when you were younger?

When I was younger, actually, um, when I was young, I wasn't a morning person. I would always tell my mom, "Like 10 more minutes, please," and just lie in bed. So as a kid, I didn't really enjoy mornings.

Yeah, okay. And do you spend your mornings doing the same things on both weekends and weekdays?

I try to do that. I am so into routines. I always like to do the same thing over and over again, which some people might sound a little bit boring, but for me, it's just a way to start my day. So yes, I would definitely keep the routine.

Okay, and do you think it's important to eat breakfast in the morning?

Ah, that, so I used to think that it's very important to eat breakfast to gain the energy for, you know, the day to get started. But to be honest, right now I don't really eat breakfast. I would just drink coffee. It's so much easier, and I feel like I want to spend more time on doing something else than eating breakfast, which is kind of, I don't know, but yeah, I feel that way indeed.

All right, now we're going to talk about sports programs. Okay, so do you like watching sports programs on TV?

Yes and no. It depends on what sports program it is. For example, I am really into volleyball, especially like the Korean women's volleyball, so I would definitely watch that. But except for that, no, not really. So it depends on the programs.

Yeah, and do you like to watch live sports games?

If it's like the Olympics, like a big sports event, I would definitely watch since I'm also studying events, so it's also like studying but also watching something fun. But if it's not like a big event, I wouldn't watch.

Okay, and who do you like to watch sports games with?

Oh, my friends or my family. I don't think it really depends on who I'm watching it with. Actually, it depends. I like to watch it with people who like the sports so we can cheer for the same team. Maybe we can argue. I think that way it's even more fun.

Yep. And what kind of games do you expect to watch in the future?

In the future, um, I am not sure about that question, but yeah, I would again go for volleyball since I'm really into it. And, um, yeah, volleyball, I'll say.

Yeah, okay. And when you were a child, did you used to play sports?

Yes, a lot. So during middle school, I was in an international school in China. We had a lot of afternoon activities, so I would play soccer, volleyball, basketball, track. I did a lot of sports.

Yeah, all right. That will do for part one, so we'll go on to the second part. Here's a pencil for you.

Thank you.

All right, so I'll give you one minute to take some notes. You can begin.

That's one minute, okay. All right, so the part two question is: describe a place in your country or part of your country that you would like to recommend to visitors.

Yeah, I would recommend Haeundae, which is located in Busan. Haeundae is basically a beach. It's an area where you have so many things to do. For example, there would be swimming, surfing, beach volleyball, and there are a lot of cute decorated cafes around, so it's very good for both people who like to go into the water or don't. It's located in Busan for sure, but I'm not so good at geography, so I can't really say which location it is. But it's somewhere in Busan. You can search it up on Google Maps, and I would really recommend this place since it's my hometown, for example. So I really love Busan, and also it's a super touristic place. You get to meet a lot of new people, you get to hang out. It's also a great place to hang out with your friends and family. And I have a lot of memories in Haeundae, so I just have this good feeling that if you go to Haeundae, you will have so much fun, make so many good new memories, and so on. So yeah, Haeundae is definitely a place I would recommend for visitors. And also, I actually recommended it to my friends who I met back in Germany. They actually knew about Haeundae since the "Train to Busan" movie is super famous. So they were like, "Oh, I'm so into going there." And yeah, Haeundae would be a great place for visiting.

Yes, all right, perfect. Okay, so we'll go on to part three of the test now.

Okay.

All right, so the first question: is it important to take photos when traveling?

Oh, I love photos. I would definitely say photos are a big part of traveling since taking photos really makes you keep all the memories. So even if the traveling or the trip has ended, you can always open your phone, and seeing those pictures makes you go back to the time when you were having fun. So photos, videos, whatever that is, I would definitely, yeah, I think a lot of people should do that.

Yes. And are there any disadvantages of taking a lot of photos?

Yes, actually. So I traveled to a lot of places in Europe. I, of course, took a lot of photos, but while taking photos, you might miss something special that's happening around you. So I think it's about choosing between keeping the memory for longer or really enjoying the place at the moment right now.

Yeah, yeah. And what do you think people usually do with the photos that they take?

A lot of things, actually. First of all, they would look at them and think of their good memories, but also they would post on social media since it's a big platform right now. I think social media is not only just about showing off but also about telling people new information and sharing good things.

Nice. And can you trust other people's travel journals on the internet?

It depends on the person or the personality, I think. These days, a lot of people get sponsored by certain platforms or they get a lot of sponsorship, so if it's sponsored by someone or something, that might make the post not so easy to believe. But if it's really personal opinions about it, then yes, I would trust. But yeah, you would have to seek those who have really good information.

Yes. And how do you think people get information about new travel destinations these days?

Oh, actually, I was surprised about how people search for information. I would usually go for Google or Google Maps for information. But for example, my friend and a lot of my friends around, they use Instagram to search up the information for traveling. So they would use hashtags to search up, for example, when they're going to a small country in, I don't know, Germany, they would search up like a small town in Germany. So it's so different these days, and there's a lot of information.

So do you think there is any difference in the way younger people travel and the way older people travel?

Totally, totally. I actually right now am studying about that. So older people would use a travel agent to go to certain places since they have a lot of money, first of all. It depends on people, of course, but they have a lot of money. They would invest, kind of invest in the agent, and they would see a lot of places but would still be in a bus moving together and everything. So they wouldn't care about transportation and everything. But on the other hand, younger people, they would go for self-traveling, I'll say if that's a word. Yeah, so I think there's a big difference, I think.

Yeah, yeah. Right, what do you think is the biggest advantage of traveling by yourself and not in a tour group?

Definitely, I think if you're traveling by yourself, you get to meet new people. It's easier to access since you're not in a group. You don't have friends around you, so you maybe get to reach out for help and stuff. And in that kind of situation, if that situation comes up, you'll get to meet a lot of new people, which is such a great opportunity.

Yeah, perfect. Thank you, that will do us. Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, okay, let's start. Let's give you some feedback about your test. I would estimate your score to be 8.0 today. Really good test. Thank you. Very fluent, answered all the questions thoroughly and well, so that's very positive. Just there are a few grammar things I'll just point out. One habit, I think, of yours was using the word "would." You say, "Like, I would get up in the morning, I would just drink coffee instead of

 breakfast." "Would," there are many meanings to this word, right? But "would" can be used for past habits. So like, "When I was in middle school, I would hang out with my friends every day." It's kind of similar to "used to." Okay, in this situation. But in these ones, I would say, "I usually," or "I tend to," or "I normally." Any of these three. But like that, that popped up, I think, in part one and part three. So I would just review that one. All right, that's one. That's one. Other one, okay, "it depends on people." "It depends on people." When you use "it depends on," we want to say "it depends on the" plus singular. So, "it depends on the person." "Depends on the person." "It depends on the season." "Depends on the day." Yeah, so that's one rule we should go with. Okay, I asked you, "Who do you like to watch sports with?" and you said, "I don't think it depends who I watch sports with." A better word there would be "matters." "Matters." "I don't think it matters who I watch the sports with." What else? What else have we got? A couple of things with plurals. When you talked in part three, "taking photo," make sure to put the "s" there. "Taking photos." "Taking photos is important." And "I have traveled to a lot of places." "Places," a couple of times there. One other thing with plural, right, "new informations." So "information" is an uncountable noun, right? So yeah, "new information." You can say like "piece of information," but "information" itself is uncountable. One other one, right, "seek for." Okay, "look for." So with "seek," S-E-E-K, we have no preposition. So "seek new information," but with "look," yeah, "look for new information," "search for new information." Yeah, so there's just a few things, but it's really a good test. Very fluent, answered the questions well. So thanks for coming in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

好的，我们开始吧。你能告诉我你的全名吗？

你好，我叫Min John Kim，但我更喜欢被叫做我的英文名Kimberly。

好的。你是在工作还是在读书？

我现在是学生，我在庆州大学读旅游和活动管理专业。

你喜欢你的专业吗？

我喜欢我的专业，非常有趣。我们主要学习国际会议和旅游，但我最喜欢的部分是品牌和市场营销，这非常有趣。

好的，现在我们来谈谈早晨时间。你喜欢早起吗？

哦，我绝对是一个晨型人。我会在七点左右起床，这样我就可以做我的晨间例行活动，比如瑜伽和写日记。所以是的，我绝对是一个晨型人。

你年轻的时候早上做什么？

当我年轻的时候，实际上，当我还是个孩子的时候，我不是一个晨型人。我总是对我妈妈说，“再多睡十分钟”，然后就躺在床上。所以作为一个孩子，我并不真的喜欢早晨。

好的，你在周末和工作日早上做同样的事情吗？

我尽量这么做。我非常喜欢例行活动，总是喜欢一遍又一遍地做同样的事情。虽然对有些人来说可能有点无聊，但对我来说，这是开始一天的方式。所以是的，我会坚持这个例行活动。

你觉得早餐重要吗？

啊，我以前认为吃早餐很重要，因为它能给你一天的能量。但说实话，现在我不怎么吃早餐。我只会喝咖啡，这要容易得多，我觉得我宁愿把时间花在做其他事情上而不是吃早餐，这有点，我不知道，但我确实这么觉得。

好的，现在我们来谈谈体育节目。你喜欢在电视上看体育节目吗？

是的，也不是，这取决于是什么体育节目。例如，我非常喜欢排球，尤其是韩国女子排球，所以我会看。但除此之外，不太会看。所以这取决于节目。

你喜欢看现场体育比赛吗？

如果是奥运会这样的重大体育赛事，我肯定会看，因为我也在学习活动管理，所以既是学习，也是看一些有趣的东西。但如果不是重大赛事，我就不会看了。

你喜欢和谁一起看体育比赛？

哦，我的朋友或家人。我不认为这取决于我和谁看。实际上，这取决于我喜欢和喜欢这项运动的人一起看，这样我们可以为同一支队伍加油，也许我们可以争论。我认为这样会更有趣。

你期待在未来看什么比赛？

在未来，我不确定这个问题，但我还是会选择排球，因为我非常喜欢排球。所以是的，我会说排球。

好的，当你还是个孩子的时候，你曾经玩过体育运动吗？

是的，很多。在中学时，我在中国的一所国际学校，我们有很多下午活动，所以我会踢足球、打排球、打篮球、跑步。我做了很多运动。

好的，这部分就到这里，我们继续第二部分。这是一支笔给你。

谢谢。

好的，我会给你一分钟时间做笔记。你可以开始了。

一分钟到了。好的，所以第二部分的问题是描述一个你想推荐给游客的你所在国家的地方。

是的，我会推荐釜山的海云台。海云台基本上是一个海滩。那里有很多事情可以做。例如，可以游泳、冲浪、打沙滩排球，还有很多装饰得很可爱的咖啡馆，所以对于喜欢下水或不喜欢下水的人来说都很适合。它位于釜山，但我不太擅长地理，所以我不能确切地说它在哪个位置，但它在釜山的某个地方。你可以在谷歌地图上搜索一下。我非常推荐这个地方，因为这是我的家乡。例如，我非常爱釜山，而且这里是一个超级旅游胜地。你可以认识很多新朋友，可以一起玩。这也是一个和朋友家人一起玩的好地方。我在海云台有很多回忆，所以我有一种好感觉，如果你去海云台，你会玩得很开心，创造很多美好的新回忆。所以是的，海云台绝对是我推荐给游客的地方。而且，我实际上已经推荐给我在德国认识的朋友。他们实际上知道海云台，因为电影《釜山行》非常有名。所以他们说，“哦，我非常想去那里。” 是的，海云台是一个很好的旅游地。

好的，非常好。我们现在继续第三部分的测试。

好的。

第一个问题是，旅行时拍照重要吗？

哦，我喜欢拍照。我肯定会说拍照是旅行中很重要的一部分，因为拍照真的能让你保留所有的记忆。所以即使旅行结束了，你也可以随时打开手机，看到那些照片，让你回到当时的快乐时光。所以照片、视频，不管是什么，我都会说很多人应该这么做。

是的，拍很多照片有什么缺点吗？

是的，实际上，我在欧洲旅行了很多地方，当然拍了很多照片，但在拍照的时候，你可能会错过周围正在发生的一些特别的事情。所以我认为这是在选择是要保留更长时间的记忆还是当下真正享受那个地方。

是的，是的。你认为人们通常会怎么处理他们拍的照片？

很多事情。首先，他们会看那些照片，回忆美好的时光，但他们也会发布在社交媒体上，因为现在社交媒体是一个很大的平台。我认为社交媒体不仅仅是炫耀，它也关于告诉人们新信息和分享好事。

好。你能相信互联网上其他人的旅行日记吗？

这取决于人和他们的个性。我认为这些天很多人会得到某些平台的赞助或者很多赞助，所以如果是由某人或某物赞助的，那可能会让帖子不太可信。但如果是真实的个人意见，那我会相信。但是，你必须寻找那些有真正好信息的人。

是的。你认为人们现在是如何获得新的旅行目的地信息的？

哦，实际上我对人们搜索信息的方式感到惊讶。我通常会用谷歌或者谷歌地图来找信息。但例如，我的朋友和我周围的很多朋友，他们用Instagram来搜索旅行信息。所以他们会使用标签来搜索，例如，当他们要去德国的一个小国家时，他们会搜索“德国的小镇”。所以现在的方式非常不同，有很多信息。

你认为年轻人和老年人的旅行方式有区别吗？

完全有区别。我现在正在学习这个。老年人会使用旅行社去某些地方，因为他们有很多钱，首先，这取决于人，但他们有很多钱。他们会投资于旅行社，他们会看到很多地方，但仍然是在一辆车上一起移动，所以他们不会关心交通等等。但另一方面，年轻人，他们会选择自助旅行，如果可以这么说。所以我认为有很大的区别。

是的，是的。你认为独自旅行而不是跟团旅行的最大优势是什么？

绝对地，我认为如果你独自旅行，你可以认识新的人。因为你不在一个团体中，没有朋友在你身边，所以你可能会求助，这样的情况下，你会认识很多新的人，这是一个很好的机会。

好的，谢谢，那就到这里。谢谢。

谢谢。

好的，我们开始吧。让我们给你一些关于测试的反馈。我估计你今天的得分是8.0。非常好的测试。谢谢。非常流利，回答了所有问题，非常好，所以这是非常积极的。只是有一些语法问题，我会指出来。一个习惯是你使用“would”这个词。你说“像是，我早上会起床，我只会喝咖啡而不是吃早餐。” “Would”这个词有很多意思，对吧？但“would”可以用于过去的习惯。比如，“当我上中学时，我每天都会和朋友们出去玩。”这有点类似于“used to”。在这种情况下。但是在这些句子中，我会说，“我通常”或“我倾向于”或“我一般”。任何这三个词都可以。但在第一部分和第三部分，你都提到过这个问题，所以我会复习一下这个。好的，这是一个。还有一个是“it depends on people”，“it depends on people”。当你使用“it depends on”时，我们要说“it depends on the”加单数。所以，“it depends on the person”，“it depends on the season”，“it depends on the day”。是的，所以这是我们应该遵循的一个规则。好的，我问你，你喜欢和谁一起看体育比赛？你说“我不认为这取决于我和谁看。”这里更好的词是“matters”，“matters”，“我不认为这取决于我和谁看。”还有什么呢？有几个是复数问题。你在第三部分说“taking photo”，一定要加上“s”，“taking photos”，“taking photos is important”，还有“I have traveled to a lot of places”，复数，这里也有几次。还有一个复数问题，“new informations”，所以“information”是一个不可数名词，对吧？所以是“new information”。你可以说“一条信息”，但是“information”本身是不可数的。还有一个是“seek for”，这里应该是“look for”，用

“seek”这个词，我们不需要介词，所以是“seek new information”，但用“look”时，要说“look for new information”，“search for new information”。是的，这里有一些问题，但总体上是非常好的测试，非常流利，回答得很好。谢谢你来。

谢谢。

谢谢。
