an English Academy and and I'm also teaching middle school students English yeah okay and could you tell me about

your hometown Hometown um I lived in mapu when I was young uh near H University and it was a

loud uh very lively place but since I was a young girl myself I really like that town so that's

one of the reason I'm visi in there very often M so like I said I work at the English Academy and actually that

English Academy is near hung and that's one of the reason I chose to work there and the hometown I'm living right now at

the moment is in Kel yeah near partisan station is not the Lively or loud as the

place I used to live but it has lot lot of great foods and um stores so yeah I really enjoy

living there okay now we'll talk about collecting things so do you collect anything I actually collect photo cards

you know like when you buy an album there are either one or two photo cards and I really like those exclusive photo

cards so that's actually one of my hobbies M okay and are there any things that you keep from your childhood oh yes

I still have my doll that I got from my eth birthday so

now I'm 21 years old so the old the doll is now 13 years old so it's quite old

but I actually went to a doll doctor once like two years ago yeah in it's actually near here in Shin station so

they have a doll doctor for animal dolls so my doll is a bear so I got a totally fix so it's like almost

good as new now great and what are some common things that people usually [Music]

collect one of my friends collect books and I think actually that's very common thing to collect maybe like comic

books or series of books like Twilight or like Harry Potter okay uh now we're going to talk

about money so do you prefer to save money or spend money I prefer to save money

so I try to save money as much as I can I usually save money for a six

month um plan MH cuz every six months I usually go on a trip and while going on a trip I kind of

like spend most of the money that I've saved so in those six mon I try to save as much as I

can and how do you save money I have this um account only for saving the ne

money never comes out unless I go on a trip so I have that account so when I get

my um monthly paycheck from where I work I um put about 80% of the whole money in

that account and I only spent that 20 leftovers and when I get some little amount of money from my

grandparents or my parents or any other relatives I also collect that money and like put it at that account okay and do

you usually use a card or cash I usually use cars but in winter season I carries a

little amount of cash maybe like 5,000 One MH or so cuz you know at winter there are lots of winter only food such

as Pang or hot dog and I really love those stuff and those people usually only I'll get cash only

so I try to carry some Mone around those times okay perfect that'll do us for part one now we'll move on to part two

so here is your question and I'll give you a pencil there you go so now I'll give you one minute to do some note taking okay so you can begin

now okay that's one minute all right so could you describe a time when you found an item that someone else

lost so I found a wallet near Kung it was about two years ago uh I found it

near a bench in front of kuk and when I found it I asked my friend if we should take it to a near police station but we

are really worried cuz right before going to Kung we saw a news about lost and found items bro cuz in the news

someone like picked a wallet that someone just like put somewhere and there were like drugs in it yeah and the

person who collected the wallet got into a serious problem so we worried we might go through similar stuff

so we discuss what we should do about the wallet but we decide to take it cuz the wall wallet seemed really fine and

it it was not a fabric wallet it was one of those SE through wallets you know like very clear with like made out of rubber so we thought it would be just

safe to like take it and put it at the police station so yeah that's exactly what we did okay very nice that's a minute and

20 seconds total all right okay so how did you feel about this situation I was thinking about the

person who lost the wallet cuz inside that wallet we were able to see through the wallet right so we were able to see

about 10,000 one and that's quite a lot right so if I ever lost 10,000 one I would be like so frustrated so I really

wanted to like give it to the right person and one more thing was I was worried if there might be drugs in it yeah okay

great uh now let's move on to part three of the test all right okay so let's keep going so yeah

uh what kind of people tend to lose things more often than others um in my opinion I think people

who carry small bags tend to lose stuff more than people who carry big bags cuz when people have small bags they have to

put their stuff in their pockets and you know like most pockets are like not very um safe to put cuz some Pockets

have zippers but usually they don't so when they run or like walk really fast the thing that they put in could like easily fall fall out but when people

carry really big bags like the bag I actually carry today they can like put it wherever in that one big bag so it's

like very unlikely to lose something and what's the first thing that people should do if they realize they lose they have lost

something I guess it depends on what that item is if it is a electrical device such as an maybe on iPad or

iPhone you could check it on Google or other iPhone related apps mhm

so that's how they can like easily find their electrical item but if it's not an electrical item or if they have never

put those apple tag on that item then I think they should um ask their companion who like went through the day

with because they might be able to remember where they put it so I think that could be a one nice way to find what they

lost and how can people like prevent losing things prevent

um I think labeling stuff is one nice way I have like pouches for each stuffs and on that pouch I have like labeled

stuff like um for like one example Chargers in that pouch I have a phone charger and iPad

charger and heater charger for like winter season and another labeled pouch is like for makeups I have like my

cosmetics in there and also my hand sanitizer and yeah that really makes me help not to lose stuff M yes and why do

some people find their lost items more easily than other people oh I guess some people does have really

nice memories and I guess some people have track track of stuff they carry around

so people with good memory maybe or like I said before a companion might remember where I put my stuff so

people who go go through the day with many people might be e easily find their lost

items right and why do you think some people just walk by a lost item and not pick it up

well like I said before there are news about the dangers of picking up L items so they might actually saw the

same news and decide not to just pick it cuz it could be dangerous MH there could be like drugs or like they could get into a serious crime by just picking up

a l item so just to prevent crimes yeah and do you think there's any yep do you think there is any difference

between losing something in an urban area and losing something in a rural area it depends on where you live so if

the rural area is like the place you actually live in then you'll like really get to know all where is where

and in rural area it could be just my thoughts but people are really like really close to each other cuz like they're not many people living in that

area so people could like easily know which stuff belongs to whom and that could really help someone find their

lost items but if someone is not a person from the rural area I think that would be like really hard to find their

lost item cuz not many people would be eager to find that someone's lost item and it's really hard to find Direction in rural

places so yeah but if the person is someone from an urban area then it'll be

just same as the person who live in rural area they could easily find stuff okay perfect that'll do us for part

three all right so we're done there nice um all right so yeah that was a that was a nice test so we'll give you some feedback we'll go through it I would

estimate your score to be I'd say 7.0 yeah um yeah you're very fluent with good pronunciation and most of your answers were very um clear and easy to

understand like there are some small grammar errors or phrasing errors that we could improve on I'll just go through a few of them with you right we'll talk

about them um when you're talking about like areas in Soul you talk about like mapu or somewhere like that you mentioned the word town I probably

wouldn't say town I would say like area or neighborhood uh a town is somewhere that's smaller than a city it's not inside the city so yeah I would say like

kangnam is a busy neighborhood or it's a busy area I think that's better to say uh when you talked about your gift that I got uh I think he got from my eight

birthday I would say like got for my eighth birthday uh from you would say like the person I got it from my parents for my eth birthday right um few

prepositions here when you talked about your savings account you said Put it uh at that account it should be in that account yeah when you talk about bank

accounts put it in the account right um when you mentioned maybe like winter also winter is a a season so for Seasons we must say in

yeah so for months and seasons and years we should say in so in winter you know in July in 2024 all right um just some

word choice here as well when you talked about um cash you know you talked about hot or like that you said some places they they get cash only I would say

better verbs to use would be like take or accept oh yeah they like you could say they don't accept card they don't

take card they only accept cash right um okay part two was good you spoke for a minute and 20 so the maximum speaking time is is 2 minutes so if you've got

more um details to add I would add to it I think after your speech I asked you again like uh the last part like how you felt about it so you could maybe give a little bit more detail there but that

was nice um what do we see here when you talked about uh taking it to a police station you said a near police station in that case you should say nearby cuz

nearby can be used as an adjective a nearby police station um and also we saw a news make sure news is uncountable

okay so we saw we saw news you could say we saw a news story you could say it like that M uh what else we got so yeah for the police station like put it into

the police station I think better term there would be uh hand it into so hand it into the police station yeah so like we considered handing it into the police

station or just leaving it there um yeah that was great um in part three when you talked about one thing you talked about

if you lose airpods or electronic device uh you said like check it on Google maybe a better word than check would be uh track track it if you use an

electronic device you should track it yeah uh also in part three um make sure that you don't talk about like your

personal story but part three is more like uh people in general so you'll notice in the part three questions like what kind of things do people often use

why do some people find lost items so rather than your personal uh story you should speak generally okay yeah but that was that was a good test overall

really nice all right thank you for coming in thank you
