Alright, let's get started, can you tell me your full name? Please, my full name is bin zhang kim. Okay, are you working or are you a student? I am currently a student. What are you studying? I am studying. Tourism and event management. At Kyogre University, which is located in Seoul, Korea, but I am also studying graphic design. Do you like your course? I love my course. Actually in my tourism and event management we learn about tourism marketing and basically all events like even international conference type so I am very interested in it, could you describe your hometown to me?

My hometown is Busan, which is also known as the second capital of Korea, the first being Seoul, obviously, um, yeah, I love my capital, I mean, yeah. Is there anything you don't like about your hometown, well, if you must, choose one, I would say human humidity because Bhutan is surrounded by the ocean. When it's summer, I sweat and then the humidity makes me even stickier, so that's the thing. I don't like it at all, now let's talk about colors, so what is your favorite color? My favorite color was brown, but then it changed to purple. I like purple because I like the lavender flower and I want to say that it is the color of lavender.

It's purple and also purple makes me feel very uh it's like my color is the color of my favorite clothes it would be purple so yeah that's why I like it is there any color you don't like? I don't like the color yellow, it's not because there are no obvious reasons for that, but I like it when I wear something yellow like yellow clothes that make me look very pale, that's why I don't like it, okay? And what colors do your friends like the most? My friends, uh, I think they like black better. because black is the most common color for everyone, so it goes with everything and also white for the same reason, okay, and in terms of your home decoration, what color do you think suits the decoration of the home?

Definitely beige like the color brown or even white, uh, because I think my whole desk or chair is brown, so if I choose a color that's too bright, for example, like mute or pink, I think it's not suitable for my room, yes, okay, now let's talk about new activities. Well, do you like to try new activities? I love trying new things. I'm actually an adventure lover, so I love trying new things. Yes, definitely. Are there any activities you would like to try in the future? I would love to try snowboarding because during the winter. I said I'm a very active person, I love winter sports, but I've only tried skiing, so snowboarding looks cool, but I've never tried it, so yeah, that's the one I really want to try, okay? ? you like to try new activities alone or with friends.

I would say that for the first time I would need friends to be with me because then, if I fall, they could, you know, hug me, but like the second or third time. I would, no matter if I'm with someone or not, have you ever tried a new activity and not enjoyed it? I never thought about her. I think I'll say no, because I like it if I try something new. things, I definitely learned something from it, so even though I don't like it, I don't like it, I would like to eventually know that, oh, I don't like this and then I would like to learn something from it, so I wouldn't say I don't like it, just like it's not my thing yes, yes, good attitude, yes, okay, that will help us for the first part, let's move on to the second part, now give your question, so this is your question, let's paint a pencil, the one you want, okay, then I'll give you a minute to take some notes, okay, then yeah, you can start well, last minute, okay, so could you describe someone you really like spending time with?

Okay, I love spending time with my best friend, I met her in my When I was in high school, I was at an international school in China back then, so that's where I met her and we actually do a lot of things because she's also a very active person, but we love staying home, so we painted our nails and watched Netflix. We love watching American TV shows because we can learn a new language from them and I think there are a lot of advantages to that, so those are the things we do. We also write letters to each other, which may sound a little strange because you already know how to write. letter in front of someone I'm giving the letter to may be a little strange, but we love writing letters, so we do it anyway.

We also love to cook and eat a lot of different food, like we make pizza or like spaghetti or even Korean food, like tiger tanjang and all kinds of things, I also like the reason I spend time with her is because she makes me feel very confident in myself, she always encourages me, no matter what I do, even if I don't manage to do tendantike, she I always say hey, it's okay, like it happens all the time, so I think that's the reason why I love spending time with her. Plus, she's very funny. I like funny people, so yeah, I think that's the reason why yeah, I'm sticking with her.

That's about 150 now, okay, so that's enough for that, so these days, do you meet her often? Yes, in fact, I found it the day before yesterday. Besides staying at home, are there any other activities you like to do? In reality, we stay home for the most part. of the weather, but sometimes we go to this cafe, those are nice and there are many decorations to refresh us, but we love staying at home, okay, now we will move on to the third part of the

test

, okay. Let's move on to part three, okay, so what kind of people are easy to get along with?

I would say that people who are positive would get along or like it more because I'm more of a positive person than a negative person um so it just just goes well it just flows like our characteristics if our characteristics get along I think that's the most important thing. yeah I think like personality and there is some personality characteristic that people generally find it difficult to get along with other people uh it depends on the people but I could say that it's a little bit more difficult to get along with introverted people because like they love to be left alone, I mean, it depends on that person, but if he or she loves to be left alone, then I think it would be a little difficult, yes.

People get along and do you think people spend more time alone these days? these people yeah, because of the corona, uh, the cafe 9 incident, I think that's something that I think the coronavirus made me introverted, so I think yeah, definitely, these days. Do you think it is a negative development? I wouldn't say it's negative because I've learned a lot about myself during this period, so it actually helps you discover who you really are and get to know yourself better. Yes, and you believe it? It's definitely important for managers or bosses to get along with their employees because I want to be a CEO one day.

I definitely think that being a friendly boss is the way to make your company successful because when you don't talk much I mean talking and The conversation is like the main point to get along or to form a kind of making these strengths to move forward, but then if they're not friendly, I don't know how they make that happen, I want to find out, actually, but yeah, that's what I want. Think and in your country it is common for this situation to happen as friendly situations. I think it totally depends on the situations because some bosses are very friendly but sometimes they are too friendly which makes people feel very uncomfortable so I think it is important. keep this distance from people but still keep the friend as a friendship so yeah it's okay and younger people like to talk to older people.

Like, I'm younger, I'm a young person, so I would say yes because they have a lot of experience that we have ahead of us because they live longer, so I think they would love to talk to older people and ask them for advice. Yes, what is one piece of advice that older people can give to younger people? What kind of advice did I receive from my father? afraid and just trying it, that really helped me keep going because we tend to be afraid of something very easily because we haven't tried it yet, but my dad told me: don't think about it, how scary it is, everyone is afraid, you just have You have to keep that fear in your mind and then move forward and that really helped me.

So in Lewis we'll end up there. Thanks thanks. So yeah, start with the comments. I would say your score would be estimated at 7.0, let's say. It is a good score, very fluent, with good pronunciation and solid grammar. Obviously, there are some similar mistakes that we can correct and that we can analyze to improve if we look at the vocabulary. First of all, you used a lot of good phrases when you were. talking about colors, you say you know black goes with everything, white goes with everything, yes, some nice expressions in terms of similar mistakes, so when you talk about your major, what you are studying and, furthermore, you are studying design graphic, you could say that, but maybe as a side it would be better yes, I'm studying graphic design on the side, it means it's not your main focus, it's kind of an extra, yeah, so you could say that, just be careful with plural here we said like my dad gave me advice, make sure it's singular, yeah, always advice is always advice, would you say some advice, some advice, yeah, um, adventure lover, right, I think a better word he would be adventurous and adventurous, yes, as if he were an adventurous person.

Adventure lover, actually he is not. a common collocation but people say he is a thrill seeker which would be common or an adventurous person yeah one thing too with introvert okay so introvert is the noun an introvert is the adjective so when you say that you're talking about people, I would say that I'm an introvert or I'm an introvert, yeah, either one, okay, yeah, that's okay, that's okay, uh, some sentences, let's go over like two or three of them, it's Well, you talked about Busan surrounded by ocean, you know? surrounded is like all the way but I would say Busan is on the coast on the coast yeah I would say it's on the coast you could also say it's a coastal city but like surrounded means more like an island. it's surrounded, you think of jeju, surrounded by the ocean, yeah, okay, uh, a word we use besides suitable, sorry, suitable for my room, uh, instead of suitable, I would say suit is a better word, suit, yes, suitable, it is more for the situation like if you are talking about a horror movie, it is not suitable for children, yes or like uh, if you want to go hiking, if you wear very thin clothes, it is not suitable for walking, yes , but when you talk about your style or your room like ah, it suits the atmosphere, it suits the room, yeah, the same way with your clothes, like oh, it fits like blue suits, you're okay a couple of times, maybe even and I said once, although I don't like it and I think it was in the last question it should be here even if I don't like it oh what's the difference even if even if it's more of a possibility although it's like a statement yes, so if you say I tried skiing last winter even though I didn't like it? because it's more defined, okay, but even if it's more like possibilities, oh, I think so, when you make a general statement, even if I don't like it, yeah, okay, okay, what else do we have in the third part ?

Just be careful not to give. too much like personal statements, you said I got advice from my dad, I want to be a CEO so part three is more about people in general so try to keep your answers more general rather than about yourself , you can give them. as an example, but um, for example, the last one, do young people like to talk to older people? You're like I'm a younger person or what advice would my dad give me. It's more yes, in general, in part, okay, yes, it's really a good

test

. In general, you spoke very comfortably.

Yes, thank you for coming, thank you. That's fine thanks.
